I think the Clippers always manage to blow leads in playoff series.

53 points, w/ 29 in the 4th/OT for IT last night on what would have been his sister's 23rd birthday...amazing. I don't even think I could function after something like that.

If anyone wants a good laugh watch the Garpax press conference from earlier today. Good God.

Uh oh Parker. Could be better for the Spurs for the series, but still, could be essentially the end of his career if it is serious.

Re: NBA Thread
Parker was playing well. Had a good game against the Grizz too. What is their point guard depth other than Mills now? The guy they could have afforded to lose would have been Ginobli. He looks completely toast.

Dejounte Murray?
Mills has a chance to earn himself a nice big contract now.

Re: NBA Thread
Mrs. Bam and I were discussing this on Sunday. She asked why he was even playing. I couldn't really explain it to her in words. If it were me, I would play. Get my mind off the tragedy. And I would expect that the family supports his decision to play, rather than mourn at home with them, because they welcome the positive distraction.Coach wrote:53 points, w/ 29 in the 4th/OT for IT last night on what would have been his sister's 23rd birthday...amazing.

She didn't get it.

Re: NBA Thread
All of the local sports teams crowds are like that; the Sox (and the Bruins, obviously) are even worse, I reckon. Boston is an pretty segregated city, not just geographically but socially. I don't know if it's worse or better than any other big city, but it's pretty apparent no matter where you are or what you're doing in town.verb_to_trust wrote:I was serious when I asked about black guys at Celtic games.

Well at least we can take comfort in the fact that racism only exist in Boston.

Re: NBA Thread
Boston would look a lot different if the same number of people who stood up for Adam Jones stood up and supported school desegregation during the '70s and '80s, but that's a topic for another thread, methinks.
