Will there be similar reaction for this?

Firestorm???

What are you talking about??

Garnett, Rondo, Scalabrine, Big Baby and Tony Allen are all hurt!

Resting?? Did you even read the article you linked??

Coach Doc Rivers on Monday ruled out Rajon Rondo and Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis after both sprained their right ankles over the weekend. Rondo was hurt in Friday’s 105-94 win over Cleveland and Davis in Sunday’s 86-79 loss to Orlando.

They join superstar Kevin Garnett, Brian Scalabrine and Tony Allen on the sidelines. Garnett has a sprained right knee and Allen has an injured left thumb. Scalabrine has post-concussion syndrome.

Lol! Two completely different scenerios Sabres! The Spurs incident happened when Coach Pop rested his players one all one night and essentially forefitted that game. In the Celtics case, they are all legitamitely injured.

It's official- the Orlando Magic only have one weakness- the Pistons.

Detroit can ONLY do posteason damage if they draw the Magic; contrast that with how Orlando has owned the 76ers, the team that is one game behind Detroit in the East standings.

Crazy game going on between the Bulls and Heat- double overtime, and D-Wade is at 42 points right now.

**SabresRule** · 03-09-2009 11:02 PM

Why am I not surprised D-Wade went off for 48 points?

**salsadancer7** · 03-10-2009 12:29 AM

Yeah....D. Wade is NOT the leading MVP candidate.....

48 pts....12 assists....8 rebs......4 stl....4 blocks....AND a win with a buzzer beater. These stats are not flukes....he is doing it MORE often than not lately.

....and the scariest part is....he has now developed a 3pt shot!! Oh the playoffs are gonna be fun!

Man, Dwayne Wade is just amazing, the guy is getting better and better every year.
He looks better than ever, especially this year without injuries.
They are a good playoff team to beat in 5 games.

Also, the story of this year has been the Blazers, look all the young kids after the Wallace/Pippen era...this organization has just been resurrected, I am impressed with what I see.
The Kings will probably be in the top 5 picks when it comes to draft time next year.

Wade is the front runner for the MVP in my opinion. He is carrying that team on his back right now.

That is what I have been saying all along. The BEST PLAYER in the world right now IS Lebron, then Kobe(truth be told, they are 1 and 1a) and finally Wade. But the MVP is Wade.
