2010 NBA Playoffs Semi-Finals Thread

im expecting a monster lebron game

but if rondo goes off, who cares?

his team better show up.
didnt i say they always seem to choke in the playoffs cheato?
been saying it all year, and last year

i'll say cavs win though tonight. and that means a game 7 blowout by them too

He's the reason we're losing this series, not everyone else.

Because this game is the biggest game of the year possibly.. Even bigger then any finals game. It could change the landscape of the NBA for the next decade..

This post (true as it is) basically summarizes how much of a joke that the NBA has become.

Game 7 blowout? I doubt that since the Celtics seem to know how to beat the Cavs in Cleveland I think if a game 7 were to occur it would be hard fought.

i dont understand how it could change the landscape of the nba for a decade

elaborate

i dont think lebron is THAT big

Our main lineup should probably be LeBron, Delone, Jamison, Hickson, Varejao... In my opinion at least. Put Varejao on KG, Hickson on Perkins because Perkins is irrelevant on offense, Jamison on Pierce, let Delonte chase around Ray, then LeBron on Rondo. And constantly push the ball up the court. Mike Brown doesn't realize they can't run with us.

Sounds like a good strategy, but it makes too much sense for Mike Brown.

game 7 blowout

celtics will not win 3 games in cleveland. wont happen

cavs will blow them out

 

[elcheato]

You say his team mates choke every year and he somehow gets his team deep in the playoffs and competing every year. The Bulls would dominate the NBA if they had LeBron and Rose.

I think it could make a big shift of power.

 

[Mexi]

yeah, as soon as i posted it, i thought of the bulls too

and he always gets deep because he's a high seed and the lower seeds in the east suck

thats if they play a game 7. and the way Rondo's been playing makes me wonder if we'll even get to that point.

I think it's safe to say Rondo is a Top 3 PG in the league right now

 

[elcheato]

Rondo is not better then CP3, Deron or Nash...

 

[Mexi]

who said he's better than them?

lol nvm. i should read the previous posts

 

[Mexi]

rondo is top 5

He's a better all-around player then Nash. Nash is not an elite defender at all. Rondo is leading the league in steals. You could argue with CP3 aswell because the system in NO is made for PGs to beast. Which is why Darren Collison and Marcus Thornton tore it up when CP went out. Deron I'd clearly say is over Rondo but not by much..

 

[cruzg24]

The better question is, who is better Rose or Rondo?

 

[Mexi]

rose by a mile imo

 

[elcheato]

Rondo has defense on Nash, and Nash has shooting/scoring on Rondo.. Some of Rondo's assist numbers are inflated in my opinion at least.. And there is no argument about CP3. CP3 is the best PG in the NBA, and Deron is right behind him.

 

[VC15]

Rondo is far better than Rose. Both can score practically at will. Rondo may have more support, but he is easily a better defender and is more of a pure point.

i really hope cleveland loses

i'd rather lose to orlando or boston than them
