Celtics - Cavs Game 7

(05/18/2008)

Brinson:

Woot. Woot. Cavs - Celtics. This time, we play four quarters!

Sunday May 18, 2008 3:16 Brinson

3:17	Who. Ya. Got? The LeBrons ( 39% ) The Big Three ( 41% ) The Garden Implodes, Everyone Wins ( 20% ) Sunday May 18, 2008 3:17

3:19

Brinson:

I think it's tough to go against the Celtics, honestly, but I think Bron is going to finally go off today and the Cavs take the series. Maybe that's stupid, maybe it's irrational, but I see no reason why he can't throw down 70 points himself tonight and outscore everyone else on the floor combined.

Matt Moore:

Hello party people. Ooh, Sunday Bloody Sunday over the PA. Nice. comparing one of the most horrific clashes in the Irish conflict to a Game 7 for a team that should be sipping Kool-Aid at home waiting to start the Detroit series. Nice.

Good call.

Interesting note on that song. It doesn't actually have a drum beat written. Their drummer just kind of made it up as they were recording. It doesn't have official music written.

Personally, I think U2 is overrrated. And Bono is annoying. But that's just me

Sunday May 18, 2008 3:32 Matt Moore

3:32

Brinson:

I wrote an article last year about Boston's intro music, but it no longer exists on the webernets -- the premise was that Boston stunk because they used a band that sounds like Garbage (on the rooftops, baby, shout it!) for their intro music

Sunday May 18, 2008 3:32 Brinson

3:32

Matt Moore:

You could put anything to this song from Requiem for a Dream and I would get goosebumps. The Heat would look cool with this song in the background.

Sunday May 18, 2008 3:32 Matt Moore

Not Garbage. That's Republica.

Garbage had Shirley Manson with shoulder long red hair. Republica had the republica chick and a car commercial ten years later.

I like Boston. They're good at home, Cleveland's offense is still weak. LBJ, as always, is the X factor, but if he plays like he has this series, no go.

What about Doc not giving minutes to Powe, other than he is the perfect compliment to Pierce and Garnott... worst coaching ever...

My thing is if you are trying to get him space, then stop running pick and rolls because that creates a double team on him.

I don't think it's his post game, he's just got too many big forwards and centers on his team to have any spacing to work in the post. Pierce with a nice drive. Hyper-aggressive so far and killing it.
