The continuing saga of epic playoff man loveHere's an interesting link Skeets passed along on Twitter: What would Dwight Howard look like in other teams' jerseys? Because after Orlando's performance this year, this isn't looking too farfetched.
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
Monty Williams contemplates revenge while doing chin-ups on an invisible bar
A Green Man without his mask is Dwight Howard's kryptonite? Who knew?
"We did it! We didn't choke in the first round!"
"Man... Guess this means I get an early start this year on my off-season ritual of picking up ladies by convincing them I'm Ron Jeremy"
"Haw haw haw! I'm rich as hell!!"
This picture makes me seriously sadNationally Televised Friday Games:
Spurs at Grizzlies, ESPN, 9pm (Grizzlies lead series 3-2): What'd Shane Battier have to say about tonight's game? "Ah, pressure, shmessure." Seriously. So you know this game's going to be severely intense. Will ESPN cut away if Pops loses his cool and throttles someone in the post-game press conference?

Nationally Televised Sunday Games:
Grizzlies at Thunder, ABC, 1pm (Series tied 0-0): And here we are. I wouldn't be surprised if Zach Randolph has some trouble in this game. He's going to be on edge after waking up in the middle of the night only to see Tim Duncan's stare. And I mean that in the literal sense. Tim Duncan will be standing over Z-Bo's bed, contemplating smothering him with a pillow for ending his last shot at playoff glory.
Celtics at Heat, ABC, 3:30pm (Series tied 0-0): Here is the only preview you need for this game.

WV: soplump
...then again, this would all help Donald Sterling get more money. On second thought...yeah, Howard and Deron Williams would be alright I guess.
Also: Howard played well in the Magic wins and losses. Whatever case he had before the series shouldn't have weakened due to his performance against the Hawks. Hell, he even made free throws.
Still, Spurs only down by 3 in what has felt like a 10 point Memphis lead.
Fasten your seat-belt, this one will be decided on another Ginobilli crazy shot.
This is the way the Spurs end.
This is the way the Spurs end.
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
My best wishes to Pop and co. even as a Laker fan is always sad to see the end of a great era.
Watching Randolph in the last 4 minutes was almost like watching Shaq back in 99. Once he caught the ball you knew he was gonna score no matter how well he was being defended. Amazing indeed.
there's something wrong with posting comments when logged into gmail, i am getting error after error even for visiting the comments. It works when i chose name and url instead of google account.
Points in the paint: Grizz 62, Spurs 38.
Seriously, I hope Memphis beats the Thunder, just to really screw things up. I haven't even touched on how much space the Celtics and Heat are getting just so they can get ABC airtime. Yes, the playoff schedule always sucks.
Also ZBo was super clutch tonight. It's clear he's been eating his wheaties.
I consider this divine retribution for the Suns, Hornets, and even the Jazz and the Cavaliers. May the Spurs never rise from their grave.
WV. imphistr. do we have an imphistr playing this season in memphis instead of z-bo?
He was barely an all star before, no with know knees he hopes to get back to being an all star, but his not brandon roy anymore?
Poor guy, he doesn't even make sense anymore.
He's the one. No doubt about it. What a show.
And nothing but net. Ugh.
I guess I now have to either root for the Grizz to win the whole thing (I hate losing, but I'd feel a LITTLE better if the team that beat us went all the way) or the Thunder, since I like them. I guess Chicago would be a good third choice, but I've always been a Western COnference guy.
@ Jacob - Dwight to the Spurs would be ORGASMIC.
@ Insignificant Knowledge - Wow, what a find. lmao
That'd mean we'd have to give up Bynum. It'd be an odd trade if anything since the Lakers have something to lose and something to gain.
Though to be fair he'd be a good choice considering how prone to injury Bynum is.
in the past, the MVP was usually announced by this time, before the end of round 1. but this year, nothing. that's why i posted earlier here about whether there is still a case for Howard to get the MVP. like that year Dirk won...he was the MVP, then later he lost in round 1.
so the ceremony was very awkward.
clearly, nba delayed the announcement this year to avoid that awkwardness.
It looks weird that Zach Randolph hadn't been at the All-Star. We'll see what happens next year. I hope he keeps up his motivation, even if he gets a new concak.
I forgot to write "this year" in my all-star statement. I didn't check it out.
My 50$ go to an Allen-Westbrook matchup, and... Durant-Battier?
This is going to be interesting, every rebound will be like WWII (Randolph, Gasol, Perkins, Ibaka all under the same rim).
How do you feel about this Heat-Celtics series? Are you confident? I didn't expect the Celtics to sweep the Knicks, frankly,the Heat-Sixers series went on the predicted track. If it goes to 7 games, it's going to be a coin flip. In 6 games I'd choose the green ones, I just think they have more options to decide a game.
