NBA 2008-09 Season

[HD MM]

I don't know if the phrase "have their number" is the right phrase....but for some reason the Wizards think there is some kind of rivalry there. They sure as hell get pumped up when they play them.

That's right. The Wiz ALWAYS play the Cavs tough. Both teams hate eachother. It just so happens the Wiz wanted it more than the Cavs last night.

Plus, this Wizards team was healthy for the first time in a VERY long time last night. They had a full squad, including Agent Zero (aka Gilbert Arenas).

No doubt they get up to play the Cavs....the Wiz are a miracle finish away from being 3-0 against the cavs this year.

You mean a possible 3-1?

The Cavs won the first matchup on Christmas.

The Wiz have now won 2 straight against the Cavs, putting the season series at 2-1.

The Cavs and Wiz play one last time on April 8th in Washington.

No. I'm talking about about the Christmas game...If it wasn't for the Cavs miracle finish on Christmas (the only game all year I havn't watched) the Wiz would be perfect against the Cavs (i know, i know....scoreboard is the only thing that matters )

The Magic are pretenders, not contenders.

When Worlds Collide

Apparently Alex Ovenchkin was at last night's Cavs/Wiz game.

Following the game, two of the worlds greatest athletes met eachother. As a piece offering, Alex offered King James a jersey.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Picture one - "Get a picture of me and toothless here."

Picture two - LeBron - "Dude, where has that hand been?"

Picture three - "How do you pronounce that?"

Picture four - " Dude is this you? What sport is this? Soccer?"

Lol. I wonder if LeBron actually had any clue who Ovechkin was?

BTW, Ovechkin is a pretty big guy, eh? LeBron is 6'8" and 265lbs and Alex doesn't look much smaller.

Orlando is really taking it to the Cavs- wow.

I already know what HD's going to look like tomorrow:

Beating the best team in the league is one thing....beat them by almost 40 ain't pretending to me....WOW!

WOW is right! What a beatdown the Magic laid. When they're hitting their outside shots, they are nearly unstoppable.

We'll see when the playoffs start. This game didn't mean a thing to the Cavaliers.

Pistons-Sixers are playing a rare Saturday afternoon game on National TV (ESPN).

They're at the half and the Pistons are leading, 50-46.

Nice appetizer going into the Final Four main course! :up

 

[SabresRule]

76ers clinch a playoff berth.

Given that Cheeks was fired earlier and the season-ending injury to Brand, this is rather impressive (Igoudala and Andre Miller are a troublesome duo).

As for Detroit- can I officially say they have no chance of making it back to the East Finals for a seventh straight year?

They aren't looking like a team that can cause trouble in the playoffs- they don't have the up-tempo players that can cause trouble for the better teams ala the Hawks and Warriors

Haven't you already done that about five times through this thread?

HD once mentioned how the Cavs bounce back nicely from tough losses.

After the surprisingly ugly loss on Friday in Orlando, they bounce back with an impressive win over the Spurs.

This surprised me, because I thought the Spurs seemed capable of testing Cleveland's home-court dominance (they have won in Boston, Utah, and Atlanta- those are not easy places to win by any means).

 

[SabresRule]

The Mavericks have scored 81 points against Phoenix- in the first half.

Orlando is really taking it to the Cavs- wow.

I already know what HD's going to look like tomorrow:

I only tuned in for the first half of that game. I was so furious I turned it off at halftime. The next day I was near meltdown mode to say the least.

Today more than made up for that.
