Eddie Jordan > Mike Brown, and that’s not saying much.

from Basketbawful:
“Any good coach — or in Brown’s case, even a bad coach — is going to get his star player’s back. But Brown took that to a kind of ridiculous length last night. “[LeBron] had a tough night, and he is entitled to it.” I’m sorry, but…what?! Since when did players start earning entitlement to horrific performances in critical playoff games? I’m sorry, Mike, but there’s no such thing as a Get Out Of Sucking Free card.”

i don´t know who is more annoying brown or the “king” himself.

I did enjoy watching Ben make a couple of decent defensive plays on Garnett (although obviously KG got his, against Ben and others), and for one short little jump shot Ben got off that hit nothing but net.

I loved Ben when he was here and wish him well. But I really don’t miss the 4 on 5 offense Detroit had to play. It’s easier to have one guy be no offensive threat at all if LeBron is on your team.

the other thing that struck me watching that game is ben wallace is that f****** wine and gold uni. that guy could have owned detroit. he could have been easily top 10 all-time piston. possibly even sneaking into the top 5 depending on how his skill set deteriorated during his mondo contract. it really bums me out to see him like that. i have yet to see him unleash the fro as a cav. guy seems dead inside.

Re the Cavs-Celtics, the Cavs HAVE to make some adjustments to the Celtics double (or more) teaming LeBron when he takes the ball past half court. Boston is a good defensive team, Cleveland just went back to the same stuff that wasn’t working for Bron-bron.

That said, I’m fully expecting tonight’s game to be incredibly tough:

1. We’re back in Orlando.
2. Refs will feel like O is owed something.
3. Stern would rather not have obvious coach-cussing on national tv for two games in a row, especially when it’s Ron Jeremy dropping the f-bomb.
4. We’ve played hard for 2 1/2 games straight.

But, oh, if we can steal this one…

Provided we make it through Orlanda (which we will), and provided this Boston-Cleveland series goes to 6 or 7 (which it will), I’d say we’re going to have the benefit of an immobile Posey. That man is going to destroy himself guarding James like that. He should probably just feel fortunate that James won’t pull an MJ and start kicking Posey’s ankles.

Fun with stats:
Bron-bron had more TO (10) than assist (9) and almost more than points (12)
James Posey had the highest +/- of the game. JAMES POSEY!
Sam cassel scored more point than pierce, allen and perkinsisamongoloid.com together
and my grand all favorite, paulina shot 2-14 with 6 TO and 2 BA. maybe he was too busy popping his shirt to concentrate on taking a shot.
I honestly feel sorry for anyone who had to sit through this game…
Screw them, tonight we’re going for 3-0 towards breaking the magic.

If Cleveland pulled that out on the road with Lebron going 2-18, I think you could pretty much call the series over.

Yes, here’s to six more slugfests.

i don’t know what to make of that game 1. haven’t seen a worse game from lebron. ray allen hasn’t not scored in a game in over 10 years. it’s nice to see these guys beat the s*** out of each other though. here’s to 7 games, mofos!

I can’t watch TNT anymore. Chris Webber makes me sick. Screw him, too.

QD, I rooted slightly for them.

I hate ‘em both, though.

Boston? More so. Lifetime achievement award. Not really for all the championships, for the sickening sense of entitlement and the 10th-ish largest market acting like it’s the 1st. And Bill Simmons. And Heinsohn. And their fans. And their fans’ dogs. And their fans’ dogs’ fleas.

I don’t want to hear anything about LeBron’s magnificent 2007 ECF that clearly wasn’t all that magnificent. It’s led to jack and shit since then.

That’s a really big loss for Cleveland. A win here and the Celtics are on the ropes pretty much immediately. That said, I can’t imagine that LeBron will go 2-18 again. Wait, is that a typo in the box score? That’s outrageously bad.

Did anybody else get confused and think that they were watching the 2004 East Finals again between us and Indiana? That series might have been some of the ugliest basketball in history. This was right up there as far as I’m concerned.
