2010-11 NBA Playoffs / Finals

Wow...C'mon Perk! 3 fouls?? OKC needs you on the floor, Big Fella!

Yeah, the refs are still just as picky with Perk as ever ... I wish they'd let him play more, as I'd love to see him kick butt in OKC. (I still have a hard time seeing him in a different uniform, though).

Me too, Man...me too....Perk is a once in a lifetime kinda guy. It is so hard to replace players like him, but I must give credit to our JO...he may not have the same ties or bonds as Perk had here, but he is certainly fitting in. I watched him move within our offense and defense last night, and he seemed so fluid...just like Perk did.

As long as JO likes winning - and I believe he does - he will fit in Boston. He senses that this is maybe his best shot at a ring, and he wants to go out on top. Gotta respect him for that.

If you look at parallels here - between JO and Artest? Artest seems to now be loved Globally since he won that ring, and he played a huge part in that Game 7 last June. He has overcame that Palace incident.

Now - the parallel? JO was his accomplice in that fight. This is JO's opportunity to reconcile, and he is only 13 more wins from that.

Winning doesn't make life perfect, but boy if JO can hold down that 5 spot through June? He closes out his career in grand fashion, to me.

To be honest I don't think many people even think about O'Neal being involved in the palace fight, I know i don't. For whatever reason, and maybe it is that they both had other incidents off the court, SJax and Artest are remembered more for their role in that incident.

Good to see Evan Turner making an impact for the Sixers.  Admittedly I was one of the ones who thought he was overrated coming out of college - thought his numbers were a product of his competition, and I didn't like the mechanics of his shot. 

To his credit, he seems to have cleaned up his shot a bit and, after a rough start, has become a useful player with potential for more.  Fun to see.

What a run for Philly!  They looked dead in the water twice in this quarter, and they've rallied every time.

Really, really hope they can extend this one.

Go Philly!!!

[Who]

Did Miami just blow a 6 point lead with only 90 seconds remaining? Against Phily? Ouch

They had the sweep all but wrapped up. Now they have go back and play another game. Let up.

[Atzar]

Wow, these Philly kids showed a ton of courage in this fourth quarter.  Turner, Holiday and Williams got it done.

[fairweatherfan]

Barring something crazy Philly's got this one.  What a great comeback - really commendable when they could've rolled over plenty of times.  I'm impressed by what Collins is doing there.

Miami really looked complacent and uninterested for a lot of the game.  Wade especially seemed like he was just messing around at times.  Nice to see it come back and bite em.

LeChoke strikes again!!!

this made my day! i hate the heat more than the yankees!

Philly was cold blooded late. You would think Miami has learned to let Wade close by now.

I know I am in the minority here, but I feel like I almost wanted the heat to lose as much as I wanted the celtics to win today. The heat have some psyche issues and I think them getting a sweep might have really helped them fire up their games and gain some confidence. Having to go back to Miami, not get the rest, may throw them off a lot. Also, obviously they are not in the same league us as age wise, but outside of their big three and chalmers they are a really old team. More bumps and bruises and can only help us!

You're not in the majority. I mean I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that I'd rather the Heat lose than the Celtics win (the Cs rest > the Heat's playing time), but I would LOVE this scrappy 76ers team to drag out this series as long as possible.

Anyone watching the Hawks game?

I just turned it on.  Crawford is destroying Orlando in this series.
