    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Van Gundy has been a Rockets homer ever since he coached them. Understandable, I guess.

    Meh, this is playoff time baby. Anything can happen. This also is a different team than last year. I'm hoping Oden swags up and kicks some butts.

    All I can say is that I'm comfortable with how we match up with Houston.

    That was sweet watching them lose. Ray Allen(though I hold nothing against him) was a complete choke artist. I mainly just hate the Celtics because of KG. I think it's safe to say they won't be contenders again in a great while. They'll coast a few more years with their aging veterans, then it's another rebuilding process.

    They spend 15 years trying to rebuild last time, and finally just said fuck-it, and acquired a bunch of old guys.

    Detroit doesn't even look like a playoff team.

    I can't think of a worse coach in the NBA than Michael Curry.

    I'd say Ben Gordon is more like an old Ray Allen. Young Ray Allen used to attack the rim. He was athletic. He slashed. Old Ray Allen sits back and hoists threes (like Ben Gordon).

    A clear admission on your part that the refs cheated for your team.

    Yeah, I think that's what I meant saying. A younger version of the old Ray Allen -- in other words, not that good.

    :biglaugh: Yeah

    I would love to have the young Ray Allen though. Ray was a really good player in his younger days.

    Yeah, that's pretty lame IMO. A 12:30 East start time is pretty early. And they should allow a three-hour time slot for the earlier game of the night session today in case it goes into OT.
    Oh well, good thing the Blazers are showing it on KGW.
