    Hmm at worst, common foul / tech on Anderson. Allen might be assessed a flagrant.

    Is Brooklyn in the house?

    Sorry, I've just always wanted to say that. Good win tonight, BK Nets.

    I don't want to start the thread, but did the Rockets make a mistake passing on Livingston? I know he doesn't do the 3 pt shooting, but he shoots a high percentage and plays a controlled game.

    Rashard Lewis played and guarded Joe Johnson last night. And people think Spo is a good coach? LOL

    Livingston has always been known for his high Bball IQ. Some people thought he would be the next Magic Johnson when he turned pro.

    The concern about him, other than his long ball shooting, was of course his health. Could he fulfill his potential after that horrible injury? Could his slim frame stand the physical demand of the NBA?

    I wanted the Rockets to keep him. But I understood why they didn't.

    Heat win tonight 107-101


    I had 107-95 in my mind, but I'll give The Nets an extra 6 points for their 3 point shooting.

    Dont know what will happen, but I do find it curious to see the line moving from +2.5 to now +1.5 right before the game...something tells me the refs will be overtly involved with this game...
    My prediction the over is the play for this game

    I don't have a great feeling about this game for the Heat... Kidd is pretty much employing the same strategy as Carlisle back in the 2011 Finals (when he was on the team). Pack the paint/zone D, make the Heat shoot J's, and bomb 3's. If the Nets are making their 3's again, they'll probably win.

    Battier comes of as a psychopath serial killer type. He's got immense anger as a biracial kid growing up in Detroit. He was the next Grant Hill coming out of Duke but talent level only allowed him to be an elite defender in the NBA.

    man they're going at DWade like the Blazers went at Harden. Livingston is absolutely cooking him.

    in the playoffs Ra-Shart is shooting 31.6% and 16.7% from 3, yet he keeps getting consistent minutes. mind = blown.
