The Miami bog 3 should no longer be called a big 3, Bosh is fucking pathetic.

6'11" and he is taking 3 pointers, notice how every member of the Spurs sat there and watched him take that shot in the fourth. I also love when he finally does make a shot he beats his chest like he is Reggie Miller.

Also surprised the Spurs did not o down low to Duncan every time on offense, the few times they did i it was obvious the Heat had no answer, no matter who was guarding him.

Cunts....
Yes, him too.
 
I believe you, but look at the guys wearing the Heat uniform over their Spain uniforms. Does that not look fake to you? I mean it looks like someone photoshopped the Heat jerseys onto to them.

Doubt they will be coming to San Antonio for game 3.
 
2-1 Spurs ... blew them out of the water with excellent games from Leonard, Green & Neal ...

The way they're defending LeBron is smart, but they have to hope his shooting slump continues for it to be this successful.

GO ON SPURS.
 
Manu turns back the clock in game 5. Heat have to win the last 2 at home,still would not count them out though.
 
There's no way he can go back to Boston after this.

It's pretty clear this is all an effort to please Chris Paul. It'd be funnier if the Clips pulled off the Doc and KG deal then Paul fucked off to play with Dwight somewhere
 
Well Howard's going to Houston, at least that's all the talk anyway.

I can't see anyone else (a) wanting to go to Houston and (b) wanting to go to Houston to play with Dwight Howard.
 
Apparently the two are in regular contact to try to make it possible - the other option for them is Atlanta where neither of them want to go
 
I'm following it Ross - it seems odd ... Paul was supposedly furious that he was 'blamed' for Del Negro's firing, and now he's cooled down and looking to play with Howard (and Monta Ellis, who's opting out of his contract, wants to play with Howard too).

I don't think they'll both end up in clipper land ... I think Houston could pull it off, as could Atlanta and the Mavericks. Likelihood is though that they aren't together come opening day.
 
For the Los Angeles Clippers to bring Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers to chase the franchise's first NBA championship, the price to complete a deal could come down to a willingness to include an additional first-round draft pick in the package to the Boston Celtics, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Monday night.

After pushing for the Clippers to take back long-term contracts, the Celticsrelented and have shown willingness to complete the deal for DeAndre Jordanand two first-round draft picks, sources said. The Clippers are willing to give theCeltics Jordan and one draft pick, but were resisting a second future pick, sources said.

The two teams are planning to talk again on Tuesday morning, and the fragile negotiations could climax over the draft pick compensation, sources said.

If the Clippers become the championship contenders that they expected this trade will make them, the additional draft pick would likely be near the end of the first round.

The financial investment in this deal for Los Angeles is unprecedented for the franchise, and it could be giving it 11th-hour pause. The Clippers must pay a $3.5 million trade kicker on Jordan's contract and finalize an agreement with Rivers on a five-year deal worth approximately $35 million, league sources said.

For the Clippers, Rivers and Garnett can solidify the franchise upon arrival: Bringing championship pedigree, performance and unifying forces for the locker room. Most of all, the Clippers believe they'll assure the franchise the re-signing of free-agent guard Chris Paul.

Boston has dropped its pursuit of guard Eric Bledsoe, but wants two draft picks as compensation for Rivers, sources said. Rivers has decided that he doesn't want to be a part of the Celtics' rebuilding process, and has requested that Boston work out a compensation package to allow him to go the Clippers. The Garnett-Jordan deal will simply be player for player, and the picks will serve as compensation for Boston to release Rivers of the three years and $21 million left on his contract.

The Clippers believe that the Celtics don't want to bring Rivers back after this public negotiation and his clear desire to leave, nor does L.A. believe Rivers will walk away from the remaining money on his deal to make far less in television, sources said.
Rivers is still torn over whether he would stay with Boston should this deal fall apart, sources said. Boston runs the risk of being unable to find another team that Garnett, 37, will waive his no-trade clause to join. He's willing to accept the deal to the Clippers for several reasons, including his fondness for playing for Rivers and a chance to play for a contender near his Malibu home.
Discussions over a blockbuster deal reached an impasse on Saturday when Celtics general manager Danny Ainge held firm that Bledsoe had to be a part of package that included Jordan and a first-round pick, but sources say that Boston has shown a willingness to find another asset to supplant Bledsoe and complete the complicated deal, sources said.

Boston had to move Courtney Lee (three years, $16.2 million left on his deal) or Jason Terry (two years, $10.6 million), for the expiring contracts of Caron Butler ($8 million) or Willie Green ($1.4 million), but the Clippers refused to take on the additional salary in any combination and the Celtics eventually moved back to the Jordan and two draft pick offer on Monday.
Rivers has coached the Celtics for nine seasons, winning an NBA championship and reaching the NBA Finals another time.

Adrian Wojnarowski's usually pretty good with his info.
 
There's also rumours that the Clippers are going to offer Griffin and Bledsoe for Howard.

They could look like this next season:

Paul
SG
Pierce
Garnett
Howard

different players mate ... kg never really could be a post up player 20-30 times a game because of his frame, while griffin - when he's not posterizing someone - likes to post up more (and has the frame for it). Griffin seems to be a very serious pro- but Garnett could easily show him how work ethic and dedication can take his game to the next level.

Billups said he's a bit soft this week, and KG is the total opposite - that's where I think Griffin could benefit. A

Garnett may be a 'tough defender' and 'tough personality' on the court, but he's never ever been a player to go at a player with his back to the basket ... In theory, Griffin could best learn from players who no longer play today (Sir Charles, Malone etc)
 
KG is all talk, very overrated player.

Also Ryan, Houston already has James Harden so if they landed Howard, they may not need much more.
