LOL sorry I didn't want to sould "so negative" but there are soooooooooooooo many teams and sooooooooooo many "bad boys of the court" it seems that won't listen to the coach or anybody and it seems like the league is out of control!! There are sooooooooo many games in the playoffs. Even the first round is best of 7!!!!!!!  And the players have no personalities..some do but sooooooo many are dry and dead. Where is Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain?? They were a "fun interview" They always were laughing and joking. When is the last time you saw Shaq laugh or joke??  Anyway I just wonder where did the Sam Jones and KC Jones and Oscar Roberston and Jerry West and Elgin Baylor and guys of this calibur go???? Signed..."disillusioned in PA" lol Mike  |

Aw, Mike- just kiddin! But remember a few years back when he was on the commercial for the National Beef Council? He said something like- What most folks consider roont, is how I like my steaks! It even took all us Hoosiers a few replays to figure out what he was saying! I am a big fan of Larry, but he definately has that southern Indiana accent workin for him! |

You bet Mike- Mostly basketball (college and pro)and Football (mostly college and the COLTS), but I love to watch others at times too. Was a competitive swimmer in my younger years, so always have a soft spot for that- too bad the only time it is televised is the Olympics! Sure looking forward to that! |

Reggie Miller hit one basket last night. A 3 pointer to win the game for the Pacers. I'm a still bitter about Larry brown leaving Philly for Detroit, and leaving my team in disarray, so I'm rooting for the Pacers in 4. GO PACERS! |

Yeah, that was a nail biter- live that Reggie! Boom Baby! Jermaine looked pretty good too! It has been sooo long since the Pacers did any good in the playoffs, I would really like to see them go far! Not as long as the Cubs making the World Series though!!!  |

Yes I saw wow too big.. Reggie made the three. He only had 6 pts they said which did not sound like him. But then they said some nights he just makes a few shots but they count on him for the big shots to win the game.... I don't think the Pacers can do it in 4 but maybe they can do it in a few more.

I liked the old Kareem/ Magic/Worthy Lakers better than this team. Both Kobe Bryant and Shaq are head cases and prima donnas. I was hoping the Warriors would have gotten Larry Brown. He is always a winner in his early years with a team and no team needs to start winning more than the Warriors. I remember when Detroit was playing poorly in mid-season and yet here they are playing that tough "D".... ahhh... and the Warriors have Stanford's old coach... those college guys do not cut it in the bigs. |

Well amazing the Pistons came out and won game 3 after a terrible lose in game 2. Can the Pistons win two more in a row?? That is a big task!! This 2,3,2 format is pretty tough for the team who is home those 3 games....makes them need to win 3 in a row at this level of play. I hope the Pistons can do it. Mike  |

How about Tracy McGrady going to Houston for Steve Francis? That's a major deal. |
