One thread for each playoff series. If there was a new one for each game this board would be so cluttered up.

Uh, you don't understand. We have to update it each time it reaches 100. Better to do it now then during the game with interruptions...

Oh I see. Haven't been really paying attention to the GB lately.

nice job texas. Imagine closing a thread on 100 in crunch time of a game? that would suck.

Lakers should take this one. Kobe probably gonna put it on cruise control again. To him...the Nuggets probably aren't worth his best effort. Pau will probably light up Camby again. I mean really this is supposed to be a great defender. You think he can bother Pau just a little?

Yeah last night in Toronto's game I closed it early. It turned out that it came down a last second shot and it would have exceeded 100 by then. So yeah thanks.

Supposedly some of Denver's players were working out at my school today....probably to try to get Jesus on their side.

Not gonna happen. Kobe already spoke with His Son and told Him not to side with the butt-nuggets.

What's interesting with the way Kobe approaches poor to average teams (check the 82 games study on this), is that it's really contrary to (I read this in an article somewhere) about how MJ used the early rounds to go bonkers and basically heat check himself on every possession.

If George Karls was smart he would have spent the last few days having the Nuggets practicing zone defense.

Zone defenses are ploys that work for 2 or 3 minute spurts, but in general get solved pretty quickly (unless the team is just ice cold)

worked for warriors.

So if Kenyon is going to back to guarding the paint and Kleiza will be guarding Kobe, what's the over/under for Kobe's stat line? I'm going to say 29/5/5.

I expect AI to come out firing and put up 20 points in the 1st half.
