Such a joke.
It was close, Kobe only had 104 first place votes out of 120 to Parkers 41.:rolleyes:

So out of a total of 120 first place votes Kobe got 104 and Parker got 41? Sounds legit.

Just saw a tweet where Floyd Mayweather supposedly has $2.4 million on the Pacers +3 tonight (8 different books & offshore).

He had around 2 million on the Clippers in their first game against Memphis in the 1st round. Clips were +6 and as we all know, got down by over 20 before coming back to win in the 4th.

"The league does not have a problem with hard fouls on our two main guys," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday before taking on the Pacers in Game 6.

I am sure he doesn't mind the fact that LeBron hasn't fouled out since 2008.

Darren Rovell on Twitter: In the past 33 years, only 10 teams have won an NBA Title, worst among all sports leagues by a longshot.

Granted getting the ball to them with their back to the basket in the post isn't easy, they should still run plays with that as the goal in mind.

Nobody had posted since 7pm? Not like much debate was going on.

Besides this was a tweet about the NBA Finals and this is a playoff thread. Not sure why you took issue with my post

Not surprised the joke was lost on you. Good thing you're not the target audience.

Pacers blew their chance of winning this series at game 4. Went away from their game plan, and allowed Wade to gain back his confidence.

No one on the heat can stop them if they go to them. LBJ "could" but hasn't displayed the willingness to do so, even complaining about it. Bosh would be huge for the heat if he could come back.

Yeah good point. He set the excuse up perfectly. If he failed, it was because his injury, if he prevails "OMG what a heroic effort!"
