CptCharisma 0 Posted February 17, 2007 I hope it comes to Toronto soon, that would be killer to go. They've never had it in Toronto and now would be a good time since the building is farily new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B Rob 1 Posted February 17, 2007 I watched the celebrity all star game yesterday. The east team wasn't even trying lol. In the second half the west would steal the ball and have a 4-1 break away. It was pretty cool to have LT, Bush, Bow Wow, and Jamie Fox in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartleby 1,563 Posted February 17, 2007 It is beyond me how the anchors of Inside The NBA keep their jobs. They are some of the most disfluent and terrible reporters I've ever seen on camera. There's no flow in what they say; it's like they're just sitting on a couch eating Tostitos and chatting while TNT shells out to them another million dollars. It's actually causing me physical pain trying to watch Charles Barkley make another lame joke or trying to make another pseudo-intellectual comment regarding a team and their plight. And, bad as those guys are, the third-string commentators covering the aforementioned celebrity game were even worse. I don't give a sh*t about James Denton's character on Desperate Housewives, I REALLY DON'T. It's like when he was on Monday Night Football all over again. Urgh. In short, some of the worst anchoring jobs have been done in the past couple of days, and it really ruins the game. I'm glad I have a mute button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3Rockstar 2,635 Posted February 22, 2007 Ha I forgot to watch any of the things last weekend! All well, it probably sucked from Bartles' view! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3KID 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Barkley vs Bavetta was classic. Probably the best event of the weekend. Dunk contest was pretty much, been there seen that. Except for D Howards dunk where he slapped a sticker of himself on the backboard while he was dunking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingzing 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Really, how many dunks can be original before you have to start defying the laws of physics? I'm not ragging on the Dunk Contest - I love it - but surely, there can't much room left for creativity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTA3KID 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Its sad because they tried to bring in ratings by having a 65 year old ref have a race against a retired basketball player. On top of that I hate the celebrity game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On top of that I hate the celebrity game. Who was it!? Wasn't it Charles Barkley or someone!? Yup Barkley vs Bavetta. I'm surprised either of the two injured themselves. Barkley ran backwards for a couple feet until he fell right on his ass and Bavetta did a sliding nose dive to the finish line. It was hilarious when Barkley fell that dude is so out of shape its not even funny. In other NBA news, Scotty Pippen wants to return and play for a contender, who doesn't?

GTA3KID 0 Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Scotty Pippen should stay in retirement IMO. My Cav's won again last night by a point. That was a good game, I think the Raptors let it slip through their fingertips. The cavs were shorthanded and still pulled it off. Edit: So its been a pretty quite tradedeadline, the Cavs didn't get the point guard they needed and Kidd and Carter didn't go anywhere. Raptors however one of the unlikely teams to make a trade sent Fred Jones to Portland for Juan Dixon and the Mavs sent some Johnson guy to Atlanta for a second round pick. In the end Pheonix still has 3 first round picks and most teams that needed the 1 or 2 players to push into the playoffs (Cavs just name one, I'm not picking on you Cuban) didn't get them.

B Rob 1 Posted February 23, 2007 Yeah, I agree the Cav's need one more decent player before they can be considered a Championship Contender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3KID 0 Posted February 23, 2007 I'm really upset there wasn't any blockbuster trade, or any significant players on the move. I'm guessing a team out of the West is probably going to win the NBA title, considering none of the Eastern Conference teams made any moves. Not even Pau Gasol was traded a guy who wanted to be moved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B Rob 1 Posted February 24, 2007 The West is way better this year then the east. The 3 best teams are probably from the west. Even in the All-Star game the West was up by at least 20 the whole game. I hope Nash finally gets a ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3Rockstar 2,635 Posted February 24, 2007 So much for the AI and CM combo, the nuggests f*ckin suck! 2-6 with both in the lineup. Ghey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gta_player5 173 Posted February 24, 2007 So much for the AI and CM combo, the nuggests f*ckin suck! 2-6 with both in the lineup. Ghey Yeah, I was listening to ESPN Radio last night and I heard them say "Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony team up for a combined 69 points, but the Nuggets still lose..." I was thinking how can you have two player score nearly 70 points and your team lose? The players around you must be really bad then. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3KID 0 Posted February 24, 2007 They're pretty much the whole team, if you shut them down you win, if you shutdown the team and let CM and AI score you still win. I'm going to a Denver game next month, should be dope because all my friends hate AI and we're going to drink before the game, so during the game we'll probably start yelling sh*t at AI or CM.

GTA3KID 0 Posted February 25, 2007 I know, eh. I was watching when AI and CM both had 29 points each know one else on the team even had double digits. I really hope somehow the Clippers or Warriors bump them out of their playoff spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raptors lost to the f*cking Spurs tonight f*cking sucks, we better take the Rockets though, I'm not too worried though because the Nets go on a 6 game road trip through Texas and 3 other cities in March. Thats good for a 6 game losing streak in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burning-Ice 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Damn...did anyone see what happened to Shaun Livingston's leg last night? Poor guy... He is obviously out for the season and will have a lot of work to do to repair his leg. So what are the odds that the Bobcats make the playoffs this year? They are about 6 games back from 8th place, it's possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3KID 0 Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) That was pretty gross, I hate watching injuries like that. Even hearing about it in graphic detail can't prepare you for how awful it is to watch. His leg snapped like a twig. Let's hope there's a way for him to come back from this. The MRI revealed that Livingston suffered tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral meniscus. Livingston also suffered a patella dislocation, in addition to the previously diagnosed tibia/femoral dislocation. http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/livingsto...ate_070227.html Edited March 1, 2007 by GTA3KID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
