Celtics really did set up the precedents

Sandy D · #**332** 05-12-2014

There will never be a team to go to 10 in a row like that.

Williams to me never was. Too many mistakes.

Johnson can be one of the best in the league but something is different about him in a Nets uniform.

The was flat out awesome before he got to Brooklyn. He tore up the Magic several times at the Amway Center while we watched him nail everything under the sun from anywhere.

I actually think it would be hard to play with Pierce and KG knowing they toss the ball back and forth to each other more often then not.

Nets have a collection of players. Not a team. That is the problem. You can have a great roster but if everyone isn't in sync it isn't going to work.

The Heat did it.

Lebron James was close to 50 points last night

I still believe if he wins more rings and MVPs etc and his career continues the way it has he will be right beside Michael Jordon as the best player ever.

He actually has more talent then MJ did overall. Guess we will see how his future goes.

rsot · #**339** 05-13-2014

And how healthy he stays

Sandy D · #**340** 05-13-2014

Orlando ESPN NBA analyst stated on the radio that Lebron, not Kobe is the best player since MJ and has a shot at being better then MJ if he can continue.

Remember he is still considered young and should have 5-6 more years of playing at this level.

Clippers sure blew that one. Up 11 with 3 minutes left. Pretty bad.

rsot · #**342** 05-14-2014

That was a horrible 3 point foul - wasnt thinking on that one leada

Sandy D · #**343** 05-14-2014

Pacers coach might as well pack his bags.

rsot · #**344** 05-14-2014

$35 Million. What a Pay Day.

He is the NBA's closest version of Ron Jeremy

Hubby listens to a local ESPN Orlando station and he was interviewed over the weekend and lied.

He said when asked if he was interested in coaching again and he said no, he loves living in Florida and misses it but did not want to go back into coaching.

He was asked if he would be interested in the Golden St job because that is where you are originally from and he said no.

So he was working on this deal while telling the radio guy a total lie.

He is not worth that kind of money.

He had some very good teams in Orlando and could not control them at all.

If it was not for him Howard would have stayed in Orlando I believe.

Sam Gundy tailgated on his brother's coaching coattails...

What do you think of hiring Kerr?

Wonder why he did not go to NY or LA?

As far as Who in the heck does Kobe Bryant think he is to tell people he needs to be a part of the decision on hiring a coach. The man is pretty much done and has little left in him to be trying to run the team and who they hire.

I will trust the basketball insiders know more than I do. Hard for me to fathom this big of a deal over someone who has never been a head coach before.

I think Kerr chose Golden State because he doesn't want to deal with Kobe Bryant and the mess that is the Lakers. He lives in San Diego probably wants to stay on the West Coast and has a daughter at Cal Berkley not to far from Oakland. Not to mention NY is a tough market for sports. The media hounds the players, coaches, etc like no tomorrow.

Heat should clean Pacers off real quick.

5 million a year for a rookie coach. R U kidding me!!!

Kobe loves to be the spotlight so was this really surprising? Hah this was coming.

Conference finals set - no big surprises there
