Basketball - June 2007

Why are teenage girls and other people so fascinated by her? Why do they want to follow her and be like her?

What does she offer that is so captivating?

Do you think its her mother's fault that she has eventually grown up to be like this? Kathy Hilton said the verdict was unjust and unfair...is she the enabler or the initiator of her wildness?

Parents, what do you think about Paris and Kathy Hilton???

A mere rape ALLEGATION doesn't mean that society should take it upon it self to condemn a person. If that were the case, we would all be going around alleging BS against people we don't like & expecting retaliation from society. But guess what, that's not the case; that's not what Due Process is about. So give the man a break; he's a great player and not a CONVICTED rapist - thereby leaving his "criminal" record untarnished and clean. So just like you and I, he is an INNOCENT person until found contrary by a judicial tribunal. Is it to much to ask of so called Bball "fans" to judge an athlete by his athletic ability and not by his personal affairs. At most he is an ADULTERER - something that the great MJ has been accused of also - the same great MJ whose "playing abilities" you haters use to discredit those of Kobe. So if you don't judge MJ as an adulterer, and instead refer to his as a great bball player, then everyone else, including Kobe, deserves the same respect. Thank you.

LMAO!......The user John D is such a lame. He acts like he doesn't like Kobe but he always stands up for him...lol. But I don't blame him, cuz if I was a Kobe jocker I'd be ashamed to! Check this out:
Kobe Bryant:
11 seasons & 4 nba finals appearances:
0 season mvps
0 finals mvps
0 nba finals records broken by Kobe
0 assist titles
0 steal titles
0 block titles
0 rebound titles
0 to lead the league in 3 point shooting
0 olympic medal
0 rookie of the year
0 defensive player of the year
0 etc, etc, etc, & etc!
See my point. I'd be ashame to like Kobe too...lol. Anyways, come out the closet John D! You know you looooove Kobe! Everyone this is what Larry Bird said about John D, "That's not John D, that's God diguised as a Kobe Jocker...LMAO!"

KOBE BRYANT SUCKS & SO DO JOHN D!

p.s. Doesn't the name John D sounds like somebodies crack head uncle?

Hello. As a promotion for the 06/07 NBA Finals, the NBA is issuing FREE NBA cards from Topps and Upper Deck. There is a set of 4 cards available. Upper Deck cards feature Michael Jordan, and LeBron James. Topps cards feature Magic Johnson and Dwayne Wade. My shipment of Topps cards DO NOT feature the names on the front of the cards. My question is: Did Topps make this error with all their cards, or am I a lucky mutt with a hot collectible?

How bout the sorry intro the Spurs have before the Finals.. The song that starts "You all ready for this".... from Jock Jams 1996. It is lame. I am not a big fan of Cleveland's either but it sure beats the crap out of San Antonios. Spurs fans - demand something better.

As I watch all the highlights from game 1 and listen to the ESPN analyists talk about the Spurs Defense and how good it is, I put the DVR on slow motion and realize that every highlight was a foul. Whether it was Lebron being bumped to the ground by Umberto and losing the ball or Tony Parker pushing Gibson in the chest who then falls into Gooden and Tony Parker getting an open lay up, or Tim Duncan pushing off on Varejeo and Robert Horry at the top of the key hitting him with a pass for a dunk, I realize they are all fouls. NBA.com had 3 picks up today - a pump fake by Z that got Parker and Duncan in the air in which eventually Duncan lands on his back, Duncan blocking Lebron's elbow, and currently Umberto blocking Varejeo's elbow. All fouls. I have not seen one good defensive play. Even when Duncan blocked Lebron, Bowen threw his face and chest into lebron trying to get an offensive foul. Where are the great defensive plays San Antonio had? Oh well, the calls will change.

Cavs fans, are you still confident about this series. I am. We stunk and only lost by 9 while the Spurs played very well. Lebron will come around. Actually everyone but Lebron and Z played pretty well. We need to box out the free throw shooter, get more luck on the LONG rebounds from the lousy Spurs shots, sit Larry Hughes on the bench cuz he's hobbled and can't guard Tony Parker who can't shoot from the outside, and wait until Lebron's outside shot comes around which it will. Also, eventually the ref's calls will come around and blocked elbows will no longer be the same as blocked shots.

2007-06-08 11:36:35 · 10 answers · asked by ligas3 2

If Larry Hughes either didn't play point guard and either came off the bench for Lebron or started in Pavlovich's spot, do the Spurs win? Tony Parker scores 27 while blowing by the hobbled Huges in the 1st and 3rd quarters and had many assists after blowing by him as well. He didn't do much else when anyone else guarded him and boy does his outside shot stink. He only hit about 1 shot from the outside. Now I hear Larry Hughes is going to start game 2 at point again. What do you think?

Spurs played pretty well, Cavs got nothing from James and the Spurs only win by 9? I am a Cavs fan and was going to give up all hope when they were down by 18. However they came back. Two things:

Anyone check out NBA.com today. They had various articles about the Spurs defense with two pictures. One was Tim Duncan trying to block Lebron and the only thing he blocked was his elbow. The other was of Zydrunas pump faking and Tony Parker and Duncan up in the air falling for the pump fake. In the game, Duncan ended up coming down on Z's back when he went up for the lay up - no foul go figure, it's game 1 in San Antonio. I almost expect now not to get calls in this situation. Same thing happened in Detroit. Calls didn't come until we showed we could win while being hosed by the refs. Right now they have a picture of Umberto blocking Varejeo's right elbow. The calls will change in this series sometime and Lebron is going to do some damage eventually. Surprised Spurs only by 9?

People think that boring Duncan should not be mvp and entertaining flashy James should be. I think that skill, leadership, and fortitude are all that matters (not labelling anyone in particular). What do you think?

Are the Cavs really a team or a one man show? The Spurs got talent, mindset, and team chemistry and played in the "real" conference. Can the Cavs respond?

Lebron didn't do it yesterday as most of you know. But he also didn't do it during the first two games against the pistons. Think he will repeat his heroics when the pressure gets put back on?

He was 2/3 teamed often and he kept backin up at the top of the circle until he was like 10 ft near midcrt and precious secs wasted from the shot clock

Do you think he would've had an impact based on how he was played last night by not catching the ball?(think about it)

usually bron was placed near the sidline 3 point arcs and bowen was guarding him and at least 2 spurs shading him

so that means 4 other cavs had an opportunity to go against 2 or max 3 spurs, so wouldn't that create more opportunites for his teammates to score and have an impact?

Lets face it TP and Ginobilli can't stick straight up boobie,dude scored 16 points and most of them on isos against TP and manu

why didnt bron encourage that more often? He forced the issue so that he can get the ball

Gooden was 6-9 from the field and half of them in the post while bron was on the other side 2/3 teamed, why wasnt he give more chances to score?
