My feeling is that if Carter does not step and play well during the playoffs, he is as good as gone. Not funny when Carter complains about a call, but it is really funny when that Old man complains about calls. It cracks me up.

LOL- this probably Stern himself. I have to give some credit to Stern and Jackson for suspending Garnett.

I agree. SVG needs to encourage the Magic to be more aggressive in the paint. For the love of everything, stop shooting contested awful jumpers.

Exactly... The Kittens never gave up there game plan to attack and eventually started to get the calls. I think the Magic need to get to the rim and paint more often, and depend less on the jumpers. We need to get better on FT, especially Dwight. Dwight must learn quickly that he cannot let those guys get into his head. Hopefully, we will see improve during game 2.

I wonder what game plan SVG has made to counter the Hack Dwight plan. It is going to happen. I just hope Dwight can handle it this time.

quote: Originally posted by GhostAnime:^ What calls in particular? In the Cavs-Bulls game- Shaq clearly elbowed the bulls player (I am not sure which one because I am not familiar with many players on other teams) and knocked the guy on the ground to make a basket and no foul was called on Shaq. Shaq was basically hacking the whole bulls team with no fouls called on Shaq. I only watched the 1/2 half of the game. Of course, James gets away with everything from offensive fouling, traveling to goal tending. Celtics-Heat game, the same thing. Celtics hacking at the Heat the whole time and every few fouls called on Boston. If Garnett is not suspended, it will prove to me that Tim Donaghy was right about everything. Garnett was the agressor, and there is no question about it.

I am not as confident with this series now because of all the questionable reffing on the games I watched yesterday. Many of the calls were obviously in favor of the Cavs and Celtics. It is beginning to look like Stern will make a Cavs win happen. This type of corruption makes it look like Donaghy was telling the truth on many things. We will see.

For what I heard, he was fired because Magic kept losing games. Personally, I think SVG is one of the best coaches in the NBA. I hope Magic can keep him for a while.

I watched the Cavs-Bulls game until half time. I could no longer stand the uninformedness of JVG. The dude says the most uninformed things.

quote: Originally posted by cpower:KG should be suspended, at least a game by any measure. Agreed. Dwight was suspended for a lot less. It will never happen. Stern has his agenda.

quote: Originally posted by apexturbo:Seriously I would rather hear him than JVG this year. He is trying to ride the Lebron wagon so if Brown is fired he can coach the KING LOL I don't care to listen to JVG because he says stupid things often. Even SVG says that JVG makes stupid comments on the the air.

Magic win. Carter has a breakout game and Dwight is monster on the boards.

West- Lakers over Thunder in 7 Nuggets over Jazz in 6 Suns over Blazers in 6 Mavs over Spurs in 7 Semis- Nuggets over Lakers in 7 Mavs over Suns in 7 Finals Mavs over Nuggets in 7 East- Cavs over Bulls in 6 Magic over Bobcats in 6 Hawks over Bucks 5 Heat over Celtics in 7 Semis Heat over the Cavs in 7 Magic over the Hawks in 5 ECF Magic over the Heat in 7 Finals Magic over Mavs in 7

Who cares what that ugly fat slob says anyway. Wow what a change of heart. That's a good thing. The man has a bad man crush on James. Barkley is just saying the most stupid things. Even Kenny Smith is making more sense than him, and that is not saying too much. You do realize, this is the same man that hated on James the first 4 years of his career. And it's also the same man that picked the Magic to beat the Cavs last year. There is no bias with his picks, no homerism, just his gut(a big one) feeling. No can't say that I do. I have only watched basketball for about 1 1/2 half years. Barkley has changed since last year. He is all about the money, and wants commerical endorsements so he his riding James ****. Just that simple.

I am so glad we dont have to play Boston in the second round. Even though we would still beat them anyways. Boston plays hard. Atlanta is a soft team. I rather watch Hartford runaway from Dwight, then Perkins hard fouling and bumping Dwight around for a series. Atleast KG, Perk, and Rondo will beat up the Cavs in a 7 game series, so that the Cavs will be tired in the Eastern Finals. This works out perfect for the Magic. The Celtics are not going to give the Cavs any problems at all. It would not suprise me if the Cavs swept them. I am not even sure that the Celtics can beat the Heat. I actually predicted that the Celts would beat the Cavs if they meet in the playoffs. I guess we'll see. The Celtics have lost 6 of their last 9 games. They lost to the Nets, Wizards, and Bulls out played them. I don't see how they would will get out of the first round, much less beat the Cavs. Time will tell a quess. Your right...the Celtics wont beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. But I beat they will win a couple of games aginst the Cavs. And KG and Co will beat up, and do some hard fouls on the Cavs. What I am trying to say is the Cavs will have some bumps and bruises went they meet the magic. You are right. Celtics do play dirty. Rondo will throw Mo Williams into the Scorer's table, and Garnett will probably knock James to the ground and James will cry like a baby. Garnett will be suspended for life. It should be interesting to watch.

I have to admit that Shaq was looking good at the game. However, the dude is pushing 40 and you just don't recover quickly at that age. He will not be 100% for the playoffs.

Oh not again.

Wow. Can't believe anyone would pick Celtics. If the Celtics remain 4th seed, I doubt they will get past the Heat.

It's a toss up of who is the bigger idiot- Jon Berry or Tim Legler.
