It's NBA time

[hippityhip]

So many damn injuries affecting the playoffs this year.

[obzen]

As much as I'd like to see a playoff series with CP3 and Tony Parker facing off, I'm not sure the Clippers match up well with San Antonio. Sure, they've got K-Mart and Nick Young coming off the bench, but Caron Butler isn't healthy -- and the Spurs have Splitter, Cpt. Jack coming off the bench with fucking Batman. Crushingblows.

[DFrank]

Clippers vs Memphis is a great matchup. I love these games coming down to the last minute. But i agree with obzen...can't see the Clippers beating the Spurs. Hopefully it goes to 6 or 7 games though.

[Mr. Porter]

Memphis are playing like dumbasses out there. I'd like to see this series go seven and I think it still will

[lehorne]

CP3 is better than TP. Blake is better than Duncan. Spurms are vulnerable, last legs whores.

[Still-ill]

I don't... they gotta be demoralized at this point. They keep losing in very deflating fashion.

[lehorne]

yeah, how many times can you see/hear "Gay for three!"...."ahhh, let's go to the locker room guys".

[casey]

Obzy, you almost ready to make a bet with me on the OKC/Lakers series?

[SepaGroove]

Kobe was on FIRE last night, too bad they couldn't close out the Nugz. They came out ready to play.

[casey]

The shots he made at the end of the game were just ridiculous.

I know, I was getting so pumped. The dude continues to amaze me on an almost nightly basis and I've been watching him for 16 seasons.

Crazy to think I was only 8 when he entered the NBA, I've literally grown up watching him play. Gonna be a sad sad day when he calls it quits.

My boyfriend and I were watching last night and when he was making the deep 3s he said, "Kobe's saying he's not old yet!" and it's true. He's still got it and doesn't even look close to being too old yet (at 33!). I grew up with Kobe too and as much as I'm a Laker hater, I think we are lucky to have grown up seeing him play. I dislike his ego, his attitude, the team he plays for, etc...but really it's all jealousy.

Yeah even if you hate the Lakers you can't deny how good Kobe is. I hate the Dodgers with a passion but I can't deny that Matt Kemp is everything anyone would ever want in a baseball player.

Still waiting for my Angels/Albert Pujols to wake the fuck up.

Too bad the rest of the team got off to such a slow start. Barnes missing uncontested shot after uncontested shot gave Denver another defender to rebound or double / triple Kobe.

I know man Barnes was pissing me off. He's really not a good shooter. I hate how he clicks his feet together when he shoots jumpers.

[Gribbz]

Does anyone really do this though? I mean, I hear a lot of Kobe hate obviously... but never any "Kobe Bryant isn't good at basketball" esque comments.

[casey]

Nah, people just call him a rapist.

[CJC626]

Does anyone else here follow the NBA Memes Facebook page? Minus the lame ones ripping on Chris Bosh's newborn kid, it has kept me thoroughly amused throughout the playoffs.

[lehorne]

He's getting booed pretty heavily in Denver whenever he touches the ball, huh? Guess they are still standing up for one of their own. Haven't forgotten that innocent white girl whom got paid off and moved out of state.

CP3 Playoff Jumpmen released today. Normally don’t go for the brand sneakers (my current ones are $20 Apex from Big 5), but hot damn these are nice. And go Clips tonight btw.

[Chillzzz]

Grind house tonight, it's clear that Tony Allen is not 100% out there, which is sad because I really enjoy watching him get at it on D. That being said I'm pulling for Clip Show and it's hard not to root for CP3.

I follow it. They are pretty lulzy. By the way, that kid isn't a newborn...he has to be at least 3. Are you going to be one of those parents who says their kid is "36 months old"?

Coloradans never forget.

Kobe missed shoot around today, is sick & questionable for the game tonight. They say he has the stomach flu.

This.

For it being playoff time, all you guys are so quiet. What's the deal?

[Mr. Dylanja]

^ The Lakers aren't winning, obviously.

[PlayaDelWes]

23 points in < 6 minutes...

[PlayaDelWes]

Held them to 7 for the next 6 minutes...the D is back!

[Mr. Dylanja]

And so are the posts!
