[Your Mom]

Fuck.

Took the words right out of my mouth sir

[Fait Accompli]

That Knick/Heat game...oof. You could pretty much label that game finished by the middle of the 3rd.

And, I'm not a LeBron hater but those two flops he took in the 2nd...can't defend that. It's like he got done watching a Dolph Ziggler match before the game and said "hmm...maybe I can do that today".

[Colossus]

Chicago can still make the Conference Finals on depth and defense alone, but it's going to be pretty hard beating this Heat team. Although, they did win one without Rose...

[Panni]

I just hope I don't have to cheer for the Celtics to beat the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

[Trey]

Even if Rose never gets back to a 100% and we don't win a title while he is here I still wouldn't trade him for anyone else. I had flipped the game off with 2 minutes to go so my daughter could watch cartoons and when I hopped online a little later it was like someone punched me in the stomach. I'm still gutted for this team and Rose in particular, this season was beyond grueling for a guard who lives getting to the rim and drawing the bigs in to hammer him and now he's missing both the playoffs and the Olympics. Fuck.

[naiwf]

Derrick Rose getting hurt after missing most of the season just gave Bulls fans and management the gut punch he gave those that had him on their fantasy team.

[VerbalPuke]

There were also great names like Pooh Richardson, God Shammgod, World B. Free, Tree Rollins, Slick Watts, Olden Polynice, and the legendary Jesus Shuttleworth.

And of course Bimbo Coles, Fat Lever, and Cadillac Andersen.

The Knicks' Iman Shumpert injured his ACL too. He joins D-Rose on the injured list. This rookie gets injured on opening day, then gets injured in his first playoff game.

EDIT: Mavs letting the Thunder back in with a minute to go!

EDIT 2: Fuck what an ending!

The D-Rose injury tells me one thing. The basketball gods are trying to give Kobe number 6.

I eagerly anticipate living in bizarro world when everyone is cheering for the Lakers in the Finals.

[Quom]

Why is Kobe the top performer for the Lakers when Bynum has a triple double including ten blocks? Especially when he was 5/7 from the field. I didn't watch the game, but it seems crazy that Bynum wouldn't have been the most important man on the floor.

[Blitz]

Caron Butler in a suit come playoff time should strike fear in any team with a 20 point lead.

[Colossus]

That was one of the most incredible things that I have ever seen. 28-3 run, Nick Young doing things, Reggie Evans doing things. Dear god...

[gunnar hendershow]

Great job Grizz.

[thatshortguy]

Dear Rajon Rondo,

Thanks for saving our asses in Game 1.

Love,

The Hawks

Nets unveiled their new logo today.

I really like it, it's simple and classic. At least the fans will have something nice to look at while the team is losing 60 games.

[naiwf]

Jay Z apparently "designed" those logos. I don't see how covering a basketball with a "B" is designing anything, but more power to the Nets.

On a more serious note, has there ever been an NBA player as timid as Landry Fields? The guy looks petrified to go to the hoop, and basically looks lost most of the time I see him out there.

Amare Stoudemire hurt his hand...punching the glass part of a fire extinguisher casing.

I think the Nets new logo is supposed to resemble the subway system signs.
