so anyone on here following the nba/nhl playoffs?? I myself like the Broonz & The Celts being from Boston in all. went to The Celtics game last night with my girlfriend. Must say the playoffs is on another level when it comes to the regular season. The energy is just unreal...Currently watching the Habs vs the Caps on Versus. really great game. Cant believe the shots on goal for the caps is something like 30 to 15.Hope the habs win so the broonz can play Philly before hopefully meeting the penguins in the conference finals.

Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Wow what a game for the Habs. their goalie Jaroslav Halak played out of his mind. Be interesting to see how he does vs the pens.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Following the NHL here, Halak has been on fire the past few games but don't think they have what it takes to beat the Pens as the Pens play more like a team unlike the Caps who try win the game on the back of two or three guys.
Boston and Philly should be a fun one to watch. Lots of hard hitting and dirty goals to be seen, playoff hockey at it's best.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
50++ saves in a play-off game .. either Halak is a machine or he's really in some kind of a special zone
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
I was following both too, the 1st rounds for both leagues being played simultaneously is too much. There are too many games, there's jsut not enough time to watch them all. That being said, some of games were amazing. nothing like OT hockey and enjoyed OKC putting a whipping on the lakers. My neighbor's kid is a huge Ovechkin fan so i felt bad for him, my neighbor;s a nice guy. Roy coming back after 8 days from knee surgery and people dropping WIllis Reed's name is good, funny thing, I said that to a knicks "fan" he said he didnt know who Reed was ...
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Thanks Habs for beating the Caps.Now the road deeper into the playoff is a little less difficult for the Broonz. Although that OT game between the B's & Flyers didnt help matters.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Is it going to be 3 sweeps in the NBA semi's , "What's going on out there?" - Vince Lombardi

[/QUOTE]
lmao, still?
so glad to see the team all the "experts" were crowning midway through the season is getting blown out by Boston, in Cleveland no less.. wow, that elbow must really be sore, lmao.. buh bye Queen James.. even if they do sneak by Boston, they're looking forward to a well rested Magic team that has the talent to steam roll them
funny when Lebron got his MVP trophy he invited his team on stage and thanked them and said his award wasn't possible without them.. where are they now?
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Its the Cleveland Jinx. That town hasnt won any type of championship in 46 years (MLB, NFL, NBA) LMAO
Cleveland has waited longer than any other city with three major sports franchises to win a title.

Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
I hope it's his elbow, cuz that's why these comparisons to Jordan must stop. Lebron looked lost out there last night. where's the killer instinct? He's talents have no limits but I think he lacks the edge to be mentioned with guys like Bird, Jordan, & Magic right now. Instead of willing his team to victory by taking over the game, he looked like a deer in headlights. The way the Magic are playing not sure it matters who wins this series but good to see the Celtics taking it to the Cavs. Rondo is showing he's worth all that $ the C's gave him and if he can hit that 18 ft jumper he's really unstoppable.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
^^^ I was thinking the same thing! seeing lebron on the bench at the end of a play off game.. you NEVER saw Jordan, Magic or Bird sitting there, well, unless they already had the game locked up..
but I agree with the comparison thing, there is no comparison, there will never be another MJ, Bird, Magic, Barkley etc.. these kids coming up nowadays don't have the heart or killer instinct (besides Kobe), but most of all, they just aren't the same players. They come out of college or high school with such a sense of entitlement before they've even proven anything. A lot of that I must say has to do with ESPN and their hype machine, quick to build someone up just they can tear them right back down
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
I do think Kobe is on another level. He has "it", that competitive edge that many of these other guys lack. he has had that broken finger all season and played through it. He was asked "how come you don't take any nights off?" His rersponse was "People spend their hard earned $ to see me play, it's not fair for me to sit if I'm able able to play." Lebron shooting that free throw left handed was ridiculous, like look at me I'm hurt. I'll take Kobe any day cuz you know in the end he'll put his guys on his back and do whatever it takes to win. i thought Lebron had turned the corner this year but obviously he's not ready. He should be playing every game like he did in the 1st quarter of game 3. imo. I guess maybe I was spoiled watching Bird, Mchale, Parrish, & DJ play @ the Garden as a kid and no doubt the talent is better today but the willingness to do whatever it takes to win and the intangibles are gone. I'm starting to sound like an old man:lol:
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
but you make a lot of sense though yes, Kobe deffo has that killer instinct that MJ and the others had.. he wanted to not only beat you, but make you feel like you are beaten before you even step on the court and make you want to retire after he was done with you.. not saying Lebron will never be at that point, but he's deffo far from it right now

- clevleand most cursed city in sports [URL]http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/lists/cleveland-worst-moments-in-sports-gallery-051210#sport=NFL&photo=11204567[/URL]
thanks lebron for continuing this torture
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Lebron doesn't care about his team or the city of Cleveland. Its all about him. He's not trying as hard so that it'll make it easier on him when he leaves. When he does leave he'll be able to say that he wasn't surrounded with the type of players that will help him win championships. If he wins he'll have a harder time trying to get out of dodge.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Also the Bruins are killing me right now!! Could someone please step up and get in front of the net?? Is it that hard to ask??
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
doesn't matter, Montreal is going to win the way they're going
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
so, where will lebron be playing next year
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
^^he would be crazy not to stay in ctown. they can offer him more $$$$ then any other team and would he really want to devistate that town any more than it has in the past 40 years.
if he does leave he will be hated even more then Art Modell (past owner or Ravens/Browns)
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
there are a lot of teams thathave money and room under the cap, the only thing is the one city he WANTS to go to NY, is the one place that will rip him to bits, and he can not handle criticism what so ever.. fuck him, until he gets his priorities straight, he'll never win a championship
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
they quit! Plain & simple. I've lost alot of respect for "King" James. I love the Celtics but they weren't the better team going into this series, they just imposed their will on the Cavs and they folded like a deck of cards. I mean Lebron made the finals a few years ago & got swept. I would've thought his hunger to get there again would be insatiable. Saw alot of quotes from the Cavs calling the Celtics bullies...well Cleveland they just took your lunch money and gave you an atomic wedgie for the world to see. lol King James
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
fyi, i won hundreds on the celts fucking the cavs. i win, you do not.
lebron s going ot NY? WAT?
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Bruins suck. Plain and simple.
That's why there's the Sox, Celtics, Pats....and the Bruins.
Oh well Celts-Magic rematch...everyone healthy THIS should be a fun series...
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
The magic may muster up the effort to beat Boston in game three but the series will go to the Celtics most likely... wtf
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
If Orlando loses tonight they are done. The odd thing is Orlando won the season series 3 to 1 and now they get to the playoffs and turn to shit and on top of that sweep the first two teams in the first and second round.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Looks like a Boston - LA series. I can't believe how thw magic fell apart. :-(
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
[QUOTE=fuctuup;863585]Looks like a Boston - LA series. I can't believe how thw magic QUIT!. :-([/QUOTE]
Fixed man. Dwight Howard pulled a Lebron James & mailed it in. He & Rashard Lewis should have stayed in their hotel rooms. Should be a great finals if LA & Boston roll through. I'm sure the lakers will have revenge on their mind. Gotta say it's impressive how Boston has imposed their will on the two "best" teams in the East.
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
The Magic's performance was an embarrassment last night
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Lakeshow > Celts
Flyers > Blackhawks
NBA and NHL playoffs are so much fun to watch.

[QUOTE=fuctuup;863585]Looks like a Boston - LA series. I can't believe how thw magic fell apart. :-([/QUOTE]
We'll see, it's definitely not impossible, they sure did look bad in the first 3 games agreed, but it's not over imo.. they are in Orlando tomorrow, if they win that and get it to 3-2, Boston will start stressing, the Magic can obviously win in Boston, and if it gets to a game 7, THAT will be a heck of a game that the Celtics want nothing to do with, and Pierce's comments the other night prove that
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010

god damn right!
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
I hear you on that one bro. Miracles do happen. Hope they can pull it off, wouldn't that be stellar.

Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
it would make for a hell of a series for sure, plus i'd love to hear all the "experts" reaction, lol all they need to do is win the [B][I]next[/I][/B] game... etc
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
I think it's over for the Magic, maybe they can beat the Celtics during the regular season, but the playoff version of the Celtics are far too dominating for the Magic, end of story, and it sucks : (
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
^^ are you watching? lol that's why they play the game, nothing is impossible, i won't be surprised to see this series go 7 same with the West
I'd love to be a sports "expert".. you can be wrong 80% of the time and still keep your job, lmao
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
it's just amazing, they are a completely different team tonight... im stoked
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
go magic
;)
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
They've had there number the last two games. Just read where they retracted one of Perkins fouls. If the magic keep playing this good watch out. Like i said before miracles do happen. Go Magic!!!!
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
they retracted his technical foul, which was the right thing to do I hope Howard plays like he has the last two games and Nelson and the rest of the team have the same intensity should be a good game tonight, the Celts are going to be under a lot of pressure to win, the Magic aren't expected to win so they can be loose and just go for it!
Re: NBA/NHL Playoffs 2010
Magic are going back to Disney World. To play golf. Series ends tonight.
