Well if Spree can't manage his money, no contract would save him.

Haha. Remember when Sprewell wouldn't sign a contract because he said it wasn't enough to put food on the table or whatever?
I don't think he's even in the league anymore. I guess his family starved

i remember that. i believe the contract was fairly large too.

I don't hate LeBron, I just think people have unjustly elevated him to "the greatest player on the planet". I believe He is easily in the top 10 and maybe even in the top 5 or 6 best players in the NBA. He is good, i Just think his game is too unrefined and that he has a ways to go before he will deserve all the praise that everyone threw at him from the moment he came into the league. All great points. LeBron needs to learn to use his team mates more. IF he can figure that out, the sky's the limit..

Back to boston we go! Game 6 was pretty much like game 1, terrible offense, good defense, bad shooting

these are the top two defensive teams in the Playoffs. nice to see some of the other guys step up toward the end of the game (Wally and Delonte)

im not sure gibson has only had 2 good games this postseason. wally and delonte have been stepping up the last few games. but i think they blew there only shot at taking one in boston when they let game 1 get away from them.
the celtics just feed off of the gardens energy

I know anything can happen, I'm just saying, it's not looking good if Gibson cant come back. A game 7 on the road is something you'd like to have your best shooter play in. If he's playing, anything can happen and it will be a fun game to watch. I know i'll be rooting for Clevland.

They haven't shown anything of what they did back in regular season. They are undefeated at home, but their game on the road shows lots of flaws

ya i dont understand how you go all season losing only 10 road games and lose 6 in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
i guess that is why none of the big three has been able to win on there own. and will be very lucky if they can do it together.

they play monday night and it is in New Orleans. so the home team will win
i think the spurs have a great chance with the experience they have but my gut is telling me the young and fearless hornets will take it. and the CP3 will show Kobe who the real MVP is
