All live on first row
Stop talking shit. Part of the agreement about the relocation of the franchise was that Bennett surrendered the name Sonics to the city of Seattle.
Celtics getting their asses handed to them by the Knicks in game 6. 32-14 with 6 and half minutes left in Q2.
Celtics down 53-42 with 6:12 left in q3.
Oh dear. 20 the gap.
Holy fuck. This could be the biggest houdini act of all time!
Celtics were down by 24 at the start of Q4. Now a 4 point game with 4 minutes left!
Come on Celtics. Let’s do this for the bomb victims. These New York cunts don’t know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of terrorism. Let the the spirit of he 2004 Red Sox infuse you for the remining 210 seconds.
Fucking New York cunts.
The indomitable Boston crowd continues to sing. And that, in the end, is the real victory.
Doc Rivers: “Every coach should have a chance to coach Kevin Garnett.”
If this is Paul Pierce’s final game as a Celtic, there’s been none greater. He may come from Inglewood but he is Boston.
I think you need to get real bro. Pretty much all the agreements Clay Bennet signed in Seattle involved the franchise remaining in the pacific north west. How’d that work out for them? Look up who owns the rights to the sonics name
OKC and Grizzlies handing Houston and Clippers their respective holes right now. Of the 4 g6s tonight, none will make it to 7.
Without bothering to check Im fairly sure the short-handed Bulls outstanding G7 win in Brooklyn last night means I got all my 1st round prediction possibly 100% correct. Looking at the conference semi finals which begin in Oklahoma tonight
West
OKC v Memphis.
Im going out on a limb here and picking Grizzlies in 6. They match up well against Thunder who will feel the loss of Westbrook a lot more against the grizzled grizzlies than they did against the Rockets
San Antonio v Golden State
Fascinating series in store. Seth Curry has been the sensation of the playoffs so far but with Tony Parker in the form of his life the experienced Spurs should be able to progress here in 6
East
Heat v Miami
Bulls are unreal, they’ve regularly been missing 2 or 3 key starters all season and here they are in a semi final against the reigning champions. And Im not even including D Rose there. It was Bulls who put a halt to Heats record braking streak earlier in the year and they will abslolutely relish the challenge with rumours increasing that Rose’s return is imminent. He’d still be lacking match fitness though and Lebron and co should be able to see this one out albeit not without a scare or two along the way. Heat in 6
Knicks v Pacers
Knicks nearly slipped up against Boston and the Pacers are a wily bunch but Carmelo should be able to see this one through safely enough setting up a mouthwatering final against Miami. Knicks in 6
Heat v Miami
Hard to argue with any of that, the loss of Westbrook has been huge for OKC and they’ll stumble along for a bit, but would need a miracle to make it the whole way.
In reality, its just a case of lining up to see who Lebron and the Heat beat in the Final really.
Oh, and fuck the knicks.
Knicks in trouble here. HT in MSG and NY have seen their 13pt 2nd Q lead whittled down to 5. Carmelo looks like a shadow of the player he was in the regular season. Charles Barkley and Shaq have both just flip-flopped their original series predictions and now go for the Pacers. Spike Lee looked a little stunned looking at the end of the 2nd there, and no wonder, with 2 home games coming up for Indiana it’s win or bust for his beloved Knicks tonight.
Melo led the Knicks on a 30-2 run in the 4th to take a 98-71 with about 2 to play. Despite the scoreline the Knicks have not played particularly well(Melo shooting less than 50% again and Smith not connecting at all) but got it going when it counted most. 2 ways you can look at it, A their lucky(Pacers with 20odd turnovers tonight) or B, It was more peripheral players eg Shumpert and Prigioni who stepped up tonight so they’ll be a genuine threat to Miami if and when they do start firing on all cylindars. Will be interesting if Shaq and Barkley do a reverse flip flop hop here on their HT shouts
Spurs down 10 heading into the 4th. They were down 18 with 4 left on the clock in the opener but got the win in 2nd ot, the Golden State young guns gonna have to hold on here to have any hope in the series. Curry has been quiet enough so far tonight but Klay Thompson has been sensational already on 34 for the evening.
Bulls got decimated by Heat which was on the cards after embarrassing Miami in South Beach with their 3rd team in Game 1.
Warriors show serious resolve tonight get it done 100-91 leaving all 4 conference semi’s poised at one apiece, shaping up very nicely
So the chick who went for Noah in Miami is one crazy bitch

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=19px]We now know the identity of the Miami Heat fan who decided to stick her middle finger right in Joakim Noah’s face last night. Her backstory is just as ridiculous as you would expect it to be.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]Her name is Filomena (sometimes Phyllis) Tobias, and she is the bird-flipper according to a quote her daughter gave to the [I]Sun Sentinel[/I]:[/FONT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]“Yes, it’s my mom. She’s embarrassed, but she is being a good sport,” said the daughter told the Sun Sentinel on Thursday. “She was having fun just like any other fan. All she has to say is that people need to get a life.” [/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]The daughter said her mom did not want to comment.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[FONT=Georgia]Oh, but there’s so much more! Tobias is best known as the drug addled woman who divorced three times before marrying hedge fund manager Seth Tobias, whom she was then accused of murdering by her internet psychic. She also possibly met Seth Tobias on the sex-party circuit and may have once kidnapped a gay stripper named Tiger. Whew! You get all that?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]All of these sordid details came to light in a 2008 [I]New York Magazine[/I]story about Seth Tobias’s death and relationship with Filomena, which includes this excerpt of an instant-messaging chat between Filomena and Seth:[/FONT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Phyllis: YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF STOPPING TO DRINK, OR DOING YOUR COKE OR BEING HONEST …[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Seth: I am sad about this.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Phyllis: I HOPE YOU GET AIDS WIT ALL THE WHORES YOU FUK TOO.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Seth: I am sorry … take a breather.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Phyllis: NOW IT’S WAR!!!”[/FONT][/INDENT]
[FONT=Georgia]Also, this:[/FONT]
[INDENT=1][FONT=Georgia]Tobias’s marriage was also tanking. Phyllis would often appear at the office and demand cash. “Give me 15,000 fucking dollars. Give me 15,000 fucking dollars,” she hissed on one visit, according to the former Circle T staffer. Tobias had promised Phyllis that he would stop using cocaine, but she didn’t believe him. In the fall of 2005, the couple was having dinner at Bice, a Palm Beach restaurant, with six other people. Just after sitting down, Phyllis jumped from her seat and placed her lips over Tobias’s nose and began sucking. She was searching for cocaine residue.[/FONT][/INDENT]
[FONT=Georgia]Joakim Noah should consider himself lucky to have escaped this woman’s presence with his life.[/FONT]
