This Boston/Miami game is sloppy and poorly played.

Miami is playing with preseason intensity. Embarrassing.

Has Korver always looked like this? Yikes. He looks like he's wearing tons of makeup or a Korver face mask or he's had some bad plastic surgery.

Wow. Check out this money quote from Q from the Daily Dime:
"I don't have any business talking to [Pierce]; he was on the ground crying. I don't know what was going on -- two actresses over there, that's what they are." -- Miami's Quentin Richardson after his scuffle with Kevin Garnett
That's a thing of beauty.

For the record, I don't really buy into the "Vince-sucks-in-the-playoffs" argument against Orlando. First off, I usually don't buy into the "playoff choker" label in general. Could have said the same thing about KG ... until he won it all. Second, this Orlando team is a million times better than anything he had in Toronto or New Jersey. Also, people are acting like he's THE go to guy for Orlando. Yet I seem to remember Rashard Lewis hitting as many huge, crushing shots as Hedo did. Lewis is a max contract guy: you can't go to him in the final two minutes? It's not that Vince isn't the #2 guy, it's that he's like #2c. #2a and #2b are Lewis and Nelson. Maybe even Reddick.
VC is perhaps my third least favorite NBA player, but he's got an opportunity to destroy all of the anti-Vince arguments he's heard throughout his career. Don't be surprised if he does it.

Also for the record, there is NOTHING worse than watching basketball with a non-NBA fan over the age of 50. NOTHING. (talking about Steph's step-dad here).

Although I think Hedo would have been a much better option this year than VC, I also do not buy Simmons' idea that Carter will tank the team. I'm looking forward to the Eastern Finals. Wake me when we get there.
On another note, I may have completely underrated Denver. Either that or they just looked great because of a severely depleted Utah squad.

NOW the game I've been waiting for. I really hope Durant rises to the occasion here.

Watching an NBA game with ANY non-NBA fan is excruciating, age notwithstanding.

I have a feeling Jeff Green is going to get abused.

Ugh. Just as we all suspected: Lakers' bigs destroying OKC inside.

Down 8 at half isn't bad, considering it was on the verge of blowout territory.

For the record, I don't really buy into the "Vince-sucks-in-the-playoffs" argument . Aaaannd Vince goes 4-19. Magic still won relatively comfortably though.
