Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Westbrook and Durant are some combo. They both been putting up sick stats this year. Tonight Westbrook had 30/5/13 while Durant added 39/10/2.. smh hopefully NBA will use their flex scheduling to get this team on National TV for some games this season. (before the Playoffs)

Also: Russ has got to be a top 5 PG in the West this year right? Only PG's I'd put above him are Nash, Billups, DWill, and Kidd. (not counting CP3 since he's been hurt this season)

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Cleveland's bench could have been t'd up for that celebration imo. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, and it's entertaining and fun to watch....but guys falling on the floor? What do you guys think?

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Celtics look in Detroit tonight.

Overboard. I like that it's genuine, but id rather see them calm down.

A billion thanks to the C's organization for being so shortsighted. Watching Leon Powe make physical, tough guy plays around the bucket with that scowl, and then seeing Varejao come over to hug him is almost surreal. Leon used to pwn Andy something terrible, including mashing all over him late in game 7 of the 07 semis. Blessings to you Danny Ainge for giftwrapping Powe the Cav-killing barbarian, lol.

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Just a heads up.

If you have NBALP, DO NOT...DO NOT switch to the Rockets-Kings game. I'm going to have to watch another game after this, this game is painful to watch.

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Was at the Bucks/Wiz game.

Bucks had pretty good D tonight. Blatche had 18 pts and 5 To's.

Illyasova had 19pts and 10 boards and 6 assists. Salmons 22pts. Very well balanced scoring from the Bucks.

I hate back to backers. Bucks play the Wiz on Friday night, the Cavs Sat night and the Celtics early next week.

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Raining threes in Los Angeles tonight.

No kidding. Frye 7/10, Dudley 3/4, Gordon 4/7, S. Blake 4/5, but then Nash 0/4... huh? haha

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

I didn't even notice him going 0-4. He was way off tonight but still managed to get a ton of assists. Probably getting a little rest too considering we have arguably the biggest game of the season so far up tomorrow against the Jazz.

Plus, Dragic won't be available tomorrow so Nash is going to play a ton of mintues.

Hahaha

The frustration in the Bobcats locker room reached a boiling point not just because of the loss, but because of the way the Celtics acted while handing them a 24-point beating.

Stephen Jackson captured the mood of a locker room that was more or less livid because of trash-talk they felt was taken to the extreme, addressing what he felt was a matter of disrespect by the Celtics throughout the course of the game.

“I can take getting beat, if it’s about basketball,” said Jackson. “But when it gets to a point where yotu’re being personal and being disrespectful as a man to another man, that’s when I have a problem.”

Jackson got into a dust-up with Paul Pierce in the third quarter that led to double-technicals. Jackson was fouled by Ray Allen, words were exchanged and ultimately Gerald Wallace had to hold Jackson back from going after Pierce.

Pierce explained to reporters afterwards, "I don’t know how it started. I just thought that Ray was playing good on him. I didn’t think it was a foul on him and I was just saying, 'Good D, Ray.' You know how Stephen is, he is a fiery guy. That is just how he is. He is a competitor. I love to watch him play. It was just both of our competitiveness coming out. It was nothing more than that."

Jackson said, “It turned disrespectful when certain things were said. You can be emotional, talk to your teammates and do all that, but when it’s getting personal, and you’re directing certain things at people as far as their manhood that’s when a problem comes up. And I guarantee you, if I wasn’t in this gym that wouldn’t have said that to me.”

Mid-answer, however, a Bobcats media relations member cut Jackson off, asking that all questions pertain to the game, even though the on-court conduct was what Jackson was addressing. Jackson and Pierce both acknowledged that they were friends off the court. Jackson is also friends Marquis Daniels, who was in Jackson’s wedding. Jackson's issue was solely with the lack of respect on the court.

“Everybody, knows me as a basketball player,” Jackson said. “But everybody knows me off the court, too. So if it’s about basketball, I’m cool. I respect everybody on their team, and I respect them as being a good team. But when it gets to the point where you’re disrespecting us as a man, that’s another problem. As far as the game, they were the better team.”

A year ago, the Celtics handed New York a 110-101 loss and the trash-talk angered several players including then-Knick Quentin Richardson, who said, “They won the game. but I think a few of those guys know that they can’t just say anything to us.”

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

So they were basically talking loud but saying nothing?

Re: 3/1-3/7 NBA Discussion

Basically the typical NBA tough guy act.

I found it pretty funny though. "He aint gon be sayin that outside the arena I guarantee that." LMAO.
