Hey Bodio

Rarely I find points I think you missed. But here they are today. I think these series gone the way they are'till now because we have a personal element very strong and that element is James playing different basketball we used to from his primadona playoff stage in the past. The motivator for that called Delonte West on Celtics line up and now, when Dallas is up 3-0 against the Lakers and teh Spurs out - the fashion of new generation is in and Celtics dont belong there. Another parallel I can draw with between Dallas and the Heat are the owners - Marc Cuban, and Yoav Katz and Micky Arison who also dont really stride in with David Stern and have the character to tell their team not to succumb to any outside pressures to prolong the seies artificially.

So, although Boston cannvery well win today, I dont think they hold any better edge today than lets say Grizs hold over the Okies - if at all.

hehe..You might be right here.  Let's see if the C's still got 'it'.

Yes, I agree.  It's a fun time for the NBA (at least from my perspective).  Will be interesting to see what kind of changes these 3 teams will make in the off-season.  They'll still compete (I'm assuming the core guys will/might stay the same) but they're not elite anymore...

Bos -3

Still don't get why the NBA gave the Celtics 4 days and the West only 1 though...


Yeah no idea.  Celts and Miami got 4 days but not Bulls (or Hawks I guess).  Seems a bit unfair...

LeBron just needs to forgive West already.  He should be more upset at his mom for being a person, than at West, from my perspective.  Not sure if the 'ownership' angle really applies to the game.  Either way, this is the spot I should have waited to take the C's in and I've made a mistake the 2 previous games I've backed them.  Will I win one here or will I fall to 0-3 backing the Shamrocks?  We shall see....

Celtics were Horrible in game 1 with all the rest.  Doc Rivers was saying that he didn't know what to do with his team with all that time off after beating the Knicks ass.  C's got smashed in game 1 and were very very rested.

Anyway i'm on this with you.  I hate Lebron more than any human.

Lets do this today bud

I love anytime West/Momma Bron escapades come into handicapping.  Even if everything about that story screams internet lie (no doubtedly started by racist Ohio fans)  I will continue to believe it is real, because that is more fun.
