cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 The Bears in the Super Bowl? Ha! Frankly I'm also sick and tired of the Pats either, there is nothing all that compelling about them to make me wanna see them constantly in the Super Bowl. They're like the HHH of football. And yes the Pacers desperately must win this game tonight. The Celtics are boring, have no heat, and would merely provide a jobber squash for the Pistons. The Pacers might actually DO something in the next round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boon 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 I pray that the Pacers win tomorrow, I don't even care if the Pistons sweep us right out afterwards. I can't imagine how unbearable Boston fans would become if they retire Reggie Miller in addition to the Pats beating the Colts every year. #1 You think people in Boston really give a shit about the Celtics? Wake up, rest of the country. Nobody in this city gives a flying fuck about the Celtics, nor have they really since 1992. People are more glad to see Larry Bird in Boston then worried about retiring Reggie Miller. #2 You think people in Boston really give a shit about Indiana? Yeah, Pats fans hate Peyton Manning, but when he gets beaten as much as the Pats beat him, it gets old. Kind of like how the Yankees didn't really bother with the Red Sox until they actually, you know, won. The Colts are just one on a long list of people the Pats play well against. Frankly I'm also sick and tired of the Pats either, there is nothing all that compelling about them to make me wanna see them constantly in the Super Bowl. They're like the HHH of football. The reason they win is b/c they're not compelling. They're not flashy, they don't have ridiculously overpaid players and they come ready to play. You'd better not get sick of them, b/c they're the team other teams want to be like. And HHH is from Connecticut, you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted May 7, 2005 What channel is the western conference game on tonight? Both games are on TNT. HOU/DAL starts at 8:30 CST and 9:30 EST. Thanks for the info. Are they going to switch back and forth between the two games? I really would rather watch the Western Conference game than watch another ugly game between the Celtics and the pacers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 7, 2005 Pacers-Celtics starts at... like 6:00 CST, I think. So, if it goes longer while the HOU-DAL starts they will give us updates, but they won't fully switch until the BOS-IND game is over. It was hell waiting for NJ-MIA go into DOUBLE OVERTIME and not being able to watch HOU-DAL in Game 3, I believe it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 7, 2005 I just prefer TNT's production better than ABC, ESPN, or NBATV. I think I'm one of few that actually has NBATV. Even if McGrady has 40 points tonight, if he doesn't get help from his teammates Houston will lose. Oh, and screw Paul Pierce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 7, 2005 Yeah, I mean.. Come on, the guy isn't just tall as fuck, he's 310 pounds, and he's trying to let people get in the paint on him inside of decking them into the 3rd row. He's really docile, an aggressive Yao would definitely be something else. I don't know where to post this, since I'm kind of reluctant to start an NBA offseason thread already, and I don't want to start yet another Laker drama thread, but did anyone hear about the little war of words between Dr. Buss and Shaq recently, where Buss basically said what many Laker fans (including Sass and myself on this board, in fact, especially Sass..) Speaking for nearly an hour, Buss also praised Kupchak; said nobody on the team, including Kobe Bryant, is untouchable; that he has no regrets about trading Shaquille O'Neal; and will be disappointed if the Lakers don't reach the second or third round of the playoffs next year. The Lakers went 34-48 this season, missing the playoffs for the first time in 11 years and only the second time since 1976. ``Everything that could have gone wrong did,'' Buss said. ``We had a lot of great plans. None of them materialized. I thought we would be very good.'' Buss said this wasn't the most difficult season for him. ``The hardest season was the last time we didn't make the playoffs because I didn't see any way out,'' he said. ``I don't feel that way now. I think we have better material.'' Bryant signed a seven-year, $136.4 million contract to return to the Lakers last summer -- right after O'Neal was traded to Miami. ``I don't want to trade Kobe,'' Buss said. ``I really think someone would have to give me their franchise, their arena, their city. (But) there's nothing untouchable. If we have the opportunity to improve our position, we're going to do it.'' Regarding O'Neal, Buss said: ``He's 60 pounds lighter in Miami than he was in Los Angeles. It seems that the motivation for him to lose weight was to trade him. I suspect if I knew he was going to lose 60 pounds, I might have made a different decision. ``Actually, I cheer for Shaq. I really like Shaq. I suspect he doesn't like me that much. I did what I thought was best for the franchise.'' Buss paused when asked if he believed Bryant would have left via free agency had the Lakers not traded O'Neal. ``I've pondered that,'' Buss said. ``I really don't know. They did have some differences. I could only speculate.'' Buss said he believes Jackson and Bryant could coexist. ``Oh, definitely. No question,'' Buss said. ``These people want to win.'' I guess Shaq, already pissed that he didn't win MVP, was even more infuriated hearing what Dr. Buss had to say. Here's what the "always classy guy" Shaq replied: ``I didn't need motivation,'' O'Neal said. ``I needed a real owner. ... I needed a real owner like Micky Arison. You can quote me on it.'' Buss also said he doesn't regret trading O'Neal to Miami. ``And I don't regret him losing money and his not making the playoffs,'' O'Neal said. That second comment was a nice stinger (ouch), but the first one? Errm.. Owner stat of the week: Owner stat of the week – NBA titles won: Buss 8, Arison 0. (okay I blatantly stole that from this article, which also speculates why the Lakers would even bother with Jackson when they need yet another roster overhaul. Not sure if I agree with that..)

They do a nice job there. The whole Blueprint intro is pretty cool as well. As for the games, I hope Houston and Indiana win. It wont feel like the playoffs if its not Indy vs. Detroit in round 2.
