In the playoffs there's always at least one rest day...

I’m still trying to talk myself into this team’s chances.

AK47 must start NOW!

that tells....

… the difference between a 7/8 seed and a 2 seed and homecourt.

is there locker room issues going on with these guys or what’s the deal??

boozer plays the worst defense i have seen. my old high school coach would beat me upside the head if i pulled some of the shi-nan-igans he pulls on d. instead of playing help d or stopping the penetrator (no pervetted jokes here) he instead leaves the lane wide open and guards his man. i saw it happen three times last night. even hubie brown pointed out that the big men need to step up when the guy drives into the lane.

i’m no basketball scholar but i know that is horrible and he is horrible on d.
