Man, the Celtics damn near gave that one away, especailly Rondo who had a couple of really bad possessions and a missed layup to close out regulation. Had the Blazers of had their closer, the Blazers win that game.
I still can't figure out why they were running plays for LA late in the game when it was clear he didn't want the ball. He's becoming one of the worst late game players in the league.
Miller has been playing out of his skull lately, he suddenly looks 28 again, not sure that's going to last but he's been a life saver these past few weeks.
The next two to three weeks will make or break the Blazers season. They have nine games against western conference teams all vying for playoff spots. Roy's absence came at the worst time possible(I blame the training staff) because even though they give their maximum effort night in and night out...there's just no way they can beat all these teams without him.

The refs were pretty awful last night both ways, but the Celtics were killing the Blazers on fast break points BUT the Blazers were killing them on the boards and second chance points, which is a disgrace when LA is the biggest body down there and KG/Perkins/Baby cant box them out.
Miller was nuts, old school last night, LA took too many jumpers. I liked Bayless before he got hurt.
Ray Allen missing 2 free throws in one game might have been the freakiest thing I have ever seen.

I wasn't surprised to see the Knicks play them tight all game, they did it in LA too.
The Bobcats loss is something I like to see these days, fighting for the 8th spot.

sports.espn.go.com/nba/allstar2010/news/story?id=4850939he does bring up a good point. It wouldn't be right to ignore the fans that did vote him in for the sake of appealing to the critics. it's not his fault the NBA has a failure for an all star system, nor is it the fans. they vote for who they want to see, the critics should lash out at the NBA. However if David Lee does not make the All-Star game, that's a load of crap.

Doesn't every sports league have a bad All Star system?

What are you going to do when Rondo makes the All Star team?
He will too, look at the East PG's

LeBron James is the biggest beast. First of all, he threw the ball to Boobie Gibson who made a clutch three. That made them up by 2 with like 7.6 seconds left. Then Durant tried to get inside and get a layup, but it was blocked by LeBron James.

I have no disputing Rondo's All Star status... I just still maintain that he can put up numbers all he wants, if he played for the 76ers, they'd still be trash and nobody would care about him. Andre Miller is a better pure point guard, look what he did for the 76ers when he was there. I say this because 2 years ago when the Celtics had a sick record and won the title, statistically Rondo was half the player he is now. Rondo has had a stat boom, and the Celtics almost lost to the Bulls in round 1 during this and are actually looking like less of a team than they did when Rondo was still struggling in 2008.

"ESPN.com has LeBron James listed as the MVP half way through the season, the Cavs have the best record and no other Cav is all star worthy" ---- NBA Scoop
Just sayin, anybody who still calls Kobe the best... 2007 called and it wants you to reread everything I wrote back then that people say now.

I'll take Dirk as the first-half MVP, with Chris Paul winning it if the Hornets can somehow finish above .500.

The Mavs and Hornets would have won 15 games if not more. When Chris Paul was out for over 2 weeks, they actually had a winning record. Him missing two weeks in my opinion negates his chances at first half MVP.

The Mavericks would be the worst team in the West without Dirk -- they are the only current competitor without a legit second option. They've also had the toughest schedule in the West and have battled injuries all season long, and are unbeaten in games decided by less than 2 points. LeBron's a great player but the Cavaliers would probably still have a pretty good shot at the playoffs in the Least without him. Plus, a "first half MVP" is pretty much the most pointless debate ever. We still don't even know who the real contenders are yet.

The Cavaliers would be the Nets without Lebron, I am not going to side on the Dirk/Lebron MVP debate but saying the Cavs might be in the playoffs w/o Lebron is insane....insane!

I don't like Lebron at all, but he is pretty clear cut the MVP so far.
