Don't deny that it was awesomeness in a cup. (Y)


It was awesome, but Odom's dunk over Andersen was better, and so was Andersen's block on Odom's dunk.

JR Smith is annoying to watch shooting bricks.

That's what J.R. Smith's game is , He either makes George Karl scratch his head ( if he misses a lot )
or makes him smile . ( if his ill-decided shots do go in )

This...

Denver's offense is stagnant... they're just standing there waiting for the ball to come to them.

*EDIT

Not that I despise K-Mart but those horizontal throw-ins (is the term "semi-hook" more appropriate?) are as frustrating as those of J.R. Smith's waster

I don't think K-Mart knows how to shoot the ball. That is just inexcusable for the scout who scouted him, and the coaches who have not taught him how to shoot. Those one-handed mid range shots are disgusting.

Don't know if that is classified as a "teardrop" shot... maybe... he throws it like darts though

It's somewhere between a baby hook and a teardrop, with a bit of a baseball pass thrown in. Effective enough when he's on-target, downright ugly when he isn't.

I'd rate the Nuggets chances of taking the series or at least forcing seven much higher than the Cavs' chances in the East but with history on the side of Game 5 winners, a decisive seventh game in LA if necessary and a few more Lakers players starting to roll, it seems they'll prevail one way or another. Great series though, even with the last couple of games not being as competitive in the final minutes it's been fun to watch.

I personally want to thank the birdman, Chris Andersen for waking Lamar Odom up.

I know, that's exactly what I was telling the person who was watching with me. "If this Lamar Odom shows up for every game, the Lakers are a very tough team to beat."

I love the guy though, his skillset, humilty and just such a laid back personality, I love it all.

Yeah, that's clever. I think it's just right for MVP to wear that number. He's even the one who pinned Cody Rhodes with the "MVP" chants.

For all the mainstream coverage McMahon was able to garner, it didn't help in the ratings. The NBA drew a 6.9 rating while RAW drew 3.2. They've drawn lower but it's far from the best ratings the WWE has ever had.

Don't you dare doubt him. He's a number one draft pick.

And that's the worst part. I think he's only good enough for the 5th or 6th pick at most.

This game is getting boring, Kobe is hitting every god-like shots, the Nuggets are playing without any effort. Leaving Luke Walton open and letting him knock down a couple of jumpers is inexcusable. When Luke Walton is able to get wide open shots you know your defense sucks.
