Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Let your friends know they shouldn't speak on what they know nothing about. It's not like when you tweak your back some and it hurts. It's a whole different thing. Like I said she looked worse than an 80 year old woman trying to get around.



I'm surprised he was out there at all. These guys are top condition athletes of course but a human body is still a human body and can take but so much.

Yeah, last year when I was a senior in high school I strained something in my back and had to wear one of those icy-hot pads taped to my back for a game or two or I wouldn't have been able to really do anything (actually had one of my best games of the year with it on my back surprisingly lol), but then I got back spasms this year in college when I was stretching after working out. I assume it depends on where exactly in your back you're getting the spasms, but it was the worst pain I've had since the time the doctors had to go in and cut my tongue with a pair of scissors. I could barely breathe and I couldn't get off the floor (I was stretching on the floor). I was so scared.

My mom also gets back spasms as a result of a car crash. She was a division 1 soccer player and played in softball leagues in our town too and like one of the other guys in here said, she's one of those "I wanna do everything" kinda people. She used to carry the bags of soil and stuff from Home Depot. Now because of how bad her back is, she's not allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds and can't really play any sports anymore besides the occasional miniature golf game.

I think dudes are just generally underestimating how important your back is in everyday life let alone in a sport. It's one of those 'don't appreciate it until you don't have it anymore' type of deals I guess.

People questioning Amare's toughness are idiots. You can talk all you want about his ****ty rebounding, but when it comes to getting going through injuries and whatnot, he's a tough *** dude.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

They probably never had a back injury, so they have no idea what it's like.

It's obvious if he could play he would.

^^Agreed!^^

But how about that game last night. Like I said in the first game. It came down to getting ONE STOP. KG was the player of that game. Did anyone notice how the (celtics) as soon as there was a loose ball. Instead of picking the ball up. They were diving for loose balls.

Back to Rondo... Why doesn't someone just drop his *** in the lane (send him to the line). Instead of back pedaling under the rim.

The knicks need a better coach out there. D'Antoni looks lost at times, and has no control of team. With all that being said the knicks have still been in contention to win the last two games. Its just trial and error right now for them. D'Antoni has to go if the knicks want any success in the future.

Where would this phantom coach to lead the Knicks to a chip come from?

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

Also I'm expecting the Knicks to get blown out friday. If Amare and Billups don't go. Expect a blow out. Because I just don't see Melo going for 35+ again. Laundry has lost all confidence in himself. Bill Walker didn't know this was the playoffs (0-11 from the field). The Celtics have found a lot of sucess playing a real 2-3 zone instead of their Man-Zone they usually play. And why don't we just play Rondo straight up. I'm not saying pressure him. But play a little closer. By the time he gets to the second level. He is already going up for the basket.

Also, I think D'Antoni's style of play was a catalyst to what lead to a Melo and nothing else Knicks team giving Boston a run for their money.

Toney Douglas was pushing the tempo, and overall the tempo was keeping Boston on their heels.

^^^instead of doing this press "Quote" when you reply.

Because someone else posts and it gets confusing - like so.

I said nothing about a chip. The knicks have been so bad for so long success for them is winning a playoff series.

Giving a run for the money and losing gives no credit to D'Antoni's failures to have the team playing smarter, and not being prepared on certain possesions.
