Howard won't be a top 10 center as some have predicted. I have no faith in him ever advancing his post game and I think he is a finished product.

I remember three or four years ago, Magic fans coming in here and predicting Howard was going to be averaging 25 PPG soon and was advancing his skills with all these moves.
I agree, its not going to happen.

Yeah, I'm ready for some Lakers/Celtics. Although I think Phoenix will win a game at home before losing in 5. But let's just watch the big boys go at it already.

Suns are 3 point favorites tomorrow.
These NBA playoffs have been horrible. Zero exciting games, tons of blow outs and sweeps. If you don't have a horse in this race, there is zero reason to watch.

K.C. asking Doc about Rondo's "grit" play.

When did the year 2000/2010 become the new 1980?
I am not going to watch one damn minute of another Lakers/Celtics matchup. This matchup has happen what..........11 times in Finals history? I am not looking forward to #12. There is no rivalries like Wilt .v. Bill Russell, or Magic .v. Bird, or even Kareem .v. Parrish. There is no Showtime, no LA Forum, or Boston Garden. There's no Pat Riley's arrogance .v. Red Auerback stoic cigar. There is no spark, no charm, nothing between these two once fun rivalry. In fact Boston/LA Laker part 50,000 is nothing more then a water down version of a once great rivalry. I am not going to watch this "rivalry." I' got better things to do...........like watching wet pain dry.

After Game 2, the SF Chronicle writer wrote "Superman should not be bully" - which is basically how i feel about Howard. He's bigger than most & is basically a bully.
Just look at the 2 hits on Rose while Rose was most vulnerable - and then laughing to the media about it.
he wasnt laughing about the cheap shot on pierce (that prompted the article). Probably for the same reason that LeBron is no longer dancing

Damn the team defense is being impressive as like two years ago before the season starts I actually thought there are only two teams can beat the Lakers.
One of them is out of the playoffs(Spurs.) and secondly who are still in which most likely return to the finals which I am talking about the Celtics obvious. I love that team defense!

Eh, not really. The games weren't exciting at all. LeBron losing to Boston helps our chances with him, but it's still Boston moving on.. A rival.
Also, no one has brought this up I don't think, but Boston is on a serious run right now. I wonder if LeBron is looking at this and saying once KG/Pierce window closes (which is really soon) the East will be his. He may think the Cavs are better than they really are with the way Orlando is getting hammered by them. I mean, the Cavs did win two games against them. This isn't good. We needed Orlando to put up a fight to make it seem like the Cavs are the clear #3 team in the East.

Cleveland can't even beat Orlando, let alone Boston. Cavs got dominated in the playoffs 2 years in a row by these teams WITH HOME COURT. Unless LeBron has short term memory loss he's fully aware the Cavs aren't in the same class as Boston or Orlando.

If anything Lebron is watching these playoffs thinking he needs a superteam around him like LA and Boston if he wants to win. This is where Chris Bosh and Derrick Rose come in

God this playoffs has been disappointing besides our game 3 win and the Cleveland-Boston series. The West series have been an utter meh minus some of those LA-OKC games.
