Orlando played GREAT ball last night.
If only they played like that against the Celtics.

For some weird reason, the Cavs can't win on the road against tough teams with the caliber of the Magic, Celtics, Lakers, etc.

Magic just kept on killing us with their perimeter shooting last night, and we barely had firepower to fight back but a typical 20-point game by LeBron won't save us at all.

cavs just couldnt rebound over howard. that was huge for orlando. also lebron had a bad night and so did mo williams. if we had big z back like we have tonight i think we would have won.

 

[PeepShow]

haha @ Andrew Bynum

 

[Wordlife]

YEAH! Bulls 3-Game Win Streak!!! lol

 

[Soulpower]

Bynum out 8 to 12 weeks with a Torn MCL.

Kobe is Kobe, so he dropped 61 on the Knicks as LA gets the win.

 

[Enigma22]

ya that game was all kobe and gasol they scored 92 points between the two of them.

 

[Dre]

Now Gasol has to step up in that Center position and also the Lakers would need to rely on Lamar Odem for that power forward spot.

 

[Soulpower]

I have to say this... Both Lebron and Kobe are phenomenal talents, and we should not take them for granted. We are truly lucky to see these guys play the game of basketball.

Cleveland beats the Knicks 107-102. Lebron with 52 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks.

I've said all that needs to be said.

 

[Enigma22]

ya their back to back performances in MSG were amazing. lebron gets the triple double with 52 points and kobe gets the record in the arena with 61 points. only thing i didnt like with kobe's performance was that he had no rebounds and only three assists.

lol i feel bad for real knicks fans. most people in that stadium cheer for whoever the superstar is on the other team.

al harriton had a good game too tho

 

[Enigma22]

ray allen was named to the all star game in place of jameer nelson. got the espn alert about it... it should be mo williams as i said before.

Random Question for the All Star Weekend. What is your predictions?

I say Nate Robinson or Dwight Howard for the Slam Dunk Contest, Kapono for the 3 Point Shootout, Rookies to win against the Sophomores, & the East to dominate the West with Iverson or LeBron to win MVP.

And is it me, or does it seem like the East vs. West is more like a Youngsters vs. Veterans type game?

 

[exC.On]

I'm going to go with Dwight Howard with the dunk contest, kapono to go with the threepeat in the 3 point shootout, Rookies team is really looking good tbh not sure though. Devin Harris for skills challenge (unless they replace Jameer with someone better). And I'm banking on East beating the west but for me East starters > west starters but west team < east team, its going to be a good game though.

 

[Enigma22]

you both said basically what i was thinking. idk who else is in the three point competition but kapono is a great three point shooter so its hard not to go with him. howard will probably win the dunk competition and will probably put on a great show again. idk whose in the skills challenge so idk who to go with. the rookies looks so much better then the sophomores so i gotta go with the rookies. and i definitely gotta go with the east. Lebron AI KG D-Wade and Dwight Howard is an amazingly dominating team. only way u could get better is to get chris paul and kobe and that would only be a small improvement considering how good wade and iverson are.

i checked and if kapono doesnt win the three point contest, it will probably be derrek mason. i wouldnt count out rashard lewis either. i wouldnt give anyone else a chance...

lakers just beat the celtics without bynum. it was a great game. 110-109 in OT. kobe had 26 points but was only 10-29 from the field. lamar odom had a great game tho with 20 points and he scored the final 2 points with like 16 seconds left. it was a great game.
