The Hawks are who we thought they were.. A regular season team.

Overreacting maybe? In 2008, the #1 seeded Celtics were taken to 7 games by the sub 500 Hawks but they still ended up winning the championship. You can't judge the #1 seed by 4 games in the first round. How about the Spurs last year? They needed 7 to get out of first round too. All of that said, I'm rooting for my home team. Go Nets!!

DWill earned his check tonight
 
It would be cool if Portland and Bucks came back and won the series. I'm a fan of Chicago though so it would be bitter sweet

Truly, KG was about 4 years past his prime and Allen & Pierce were a couple years past theirs. That's why hardly anyone picked them to win the title before the season started. Too old, no PG, no depth. Obviously, those three things proved to not be a problem. The stars played like stars, Rondo did okay, and they added depth throughout the season.

Allen was 32, KG was 31 and Pierce was 30. Those are still prime years.
 
I would love to see a game 6 back in Portland. It was pretty loud tonight in the arena. Would be even more so in game 6.

Only way I see that happening is if Aldridge has one of those games.
He's put up numbers in this series but he has yet to be efficient.
I want to see the best big in the NBA dominate Z-bo with length, and Gasol with power.

I'm one of Aldridge's biggest fan's. I'm still calling him out on his inefficiency for this series.
Game 1 - 13-34, 4-5 FT, 2 turnovers. Not good enough
Game 2 - 7-20, 9-10 FT, 4 turnovers. Not good enough
Game 3 - 6-18, 9-10 FT, 1 turnover. Not good enough
Game 4 - 6-22, 5-5 FT, 0 turnovers. Not good enough

Bring it for game 5 Aldridge, both defensively, AND offensively.

LA would be far more effective if he camped out on the low block and Leonard played the high post.

I really don't care how he does it.
Low post, High post, 3's, long 2's, free throws, fadeaways...
I want to see the unstoppable Aldridge. Doesn't need to go for 40+.
I want to see highly efficient Aldridge. 10 FT's are fine, But shooting under 50% for the entire series isn't.
Show out Aldridge. You can play better.

How many DNP-FOOD games did he have as a Blazer?

So? LeBron is in his 11th, do you think in two years he won't still be an elite player in his prime? Was Kobe not in his prime when he won his 4th title in his 13th season?

Of course LeBron will be elite but not n his prime. He's already slightly past his prime. Not putting up the numbers he used to. KG's prime year was 2004 when he won MVP. Kobe's prime was during his time with Shaq and a couple years later when Lakers sucked and he scored 81.
 
This doesn't strictly belong here but I didn't want to start a special thread:


 
Will Barton is helping riot? WTF?
 
Barton's a cool guy and P-Town still shows him love on his facebook page.

From his facebook page:

Hey Baltimore- Meet me today at 3pm at Cloverdale on Druid Hill as we come together for conversation and a block party, our city needs us.

With s open mind and humble heart, I am respectfully requesting that all of my able friends, neighborhood leaders, and people of influence meet myself and other positive individuals today at 12pm at CloverDale Basketball Court. The purpose of this gathering is to plan and execute a positive strategy on how to protect and proactively save our children and our communities. I can not do this by myself, so please join us.

Will Barton is a good person. You could tell that he is during his time in Portland. He sincerely cares about his home town and its inhabitants. Much respect.
