I know. Ray allen is the best 3 point shooter in the nba.

Wide open shots should be made regardless. Maybe he isn't a set shooter. I'm just talking basketball man, it's my favorite sport to play.

What I don't get is why he doesn't just shoot jumpers all the time...I love Kyle Lowry so much, if Brooks wasn't such a threat from 3...And look, Kobe just knocked down a buzzer beater 3...

boring game three. It's all lakers.

It was 50-48 at halftime, it's an 8 point game right now, hardly a blowout.

That's why Artest got ejected, not because of getting in Kobe's face.

The fact it was Ron Artest (who's incapable of restraining himself) just fueled the fire.

Ok I want you to sit in your chair and do something for me. First, perform the "throat slash" gesture that you were talking about. Take a look at it. Now, perform a "high elbow" like you're explaining what Kobe did to a ref, which is what Artest was doing. Take a look at that. The only reason he was ejected was because his name is Ron Artest. People don't realize that he's been pretty well behaved this year. And last night's ejection was just wrong. Plain wrong. Kyle Lowry was the one that did most of the fouling on that play.

Man, I need to stop beating around the bush: when I say you get ejected for making the throat slashing gesture, I mean any NBA player gets ejected for it. ANYONE.

Is that still too subtle?

And I agree the ejection last night was wrong. I also believe that it made absolutely NO difference towards the outcome of the game

My point was that Artest was NOT making a throat slash gesture though.

And yes the ejection had no bearing on the game, but if the technical fouls keep adding up then Ron Ron will have to be suspended a game which would be dumb in what is turning out to be a great series.

Also, how badly did the Mavericks get robbed last night? I'd be pretty pissed if I was a Dallas fan.

Glen Davis hits the game winner, then runs and pushes a kid sitting courtside. Classy guy haha. Later on to celebrate he stole crutches from a cripple and then drop kicked a senior citizen.

Celts even it up.

Lakers lost, and the Boston-Orlando game is evened up... good day to be a Cleveland fan :)

But seriously, what a f*cking shot by Davis.

Hah I know, I'm glad we (Cleveland) finally ALMOST had a close game last night lol.

The Denver game was amazing though lol, Melo's three was awesome...but I do agree with the no-call...in the midst of a possible game-winning shot in the playoffs, the refs need to see a pretty hard foul to actually call it, not just a minor shove. As one of the commentators said, you need to show the ref you want to foul the guy, he didn't even wrap him up or anything. But yeah, I would have been SO mad if I was a Dallas fan lol.

Davis' gamewinner was good though, I still hate the Celtics, but I think they will win the series...just hope the Cavs can beat them.
