WIZARDS OUGHTA SHUT THE F**K UP!!!!

They got 3 all-stars versus 1 and Lebron is just killing them and still they can’t learn to shut up! Haywoods taunts p*****d me off big time, him and Stevenson should go get some game before they talk that sh*t.

LBJ just torched you in your own house so shut up. Every time you trash him he torches you - shut up. You’re about to get taken out of the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row by LBJ, so shut the f**k up!
They’re commiting flagrants and pushing him in mid-air which could cause a horrific injury - this team is a bunch of low-life, dirty punks with no game to back up a bunch of big mouths…..

GO HOME WIZARDS YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN THE PLAYOFFS

About these NBA playoffs. The eventual champion will once again come from the western conference. (no Lebron) not this year either! The Boston Celtics had the best record in the East with sixty plus wins.I ask,how many wins would they have had in the west! David Stern take note! The league is flawed when a team with thirty-nine wins (Atlanta) is in the playoffs and Golden State who won forty-eight is sitting at home! Mr. Stern you must address this. Take the best sixteen teams into the playoffs irregardless of conference. This will result in a true champion and reduce the possibilty of first round upsets. And finally to all you giddy fans have you ever asked yourself why professional players struggle on the road, and play so much better at home? And why the so called superstars are allowed to flaunt the rules of the game ;palming violations, traveling, and phanthom fouls.
After all, who are we going to believe, the NBA or our lying eyes.

I know you all don’t like hearing this, but Garnett is not and was never a pressure player. He aint’ clutch. He’s a defensive stud alright, but at the end of the day basketball is still about whose team makes more shots especially in the endgame.
You know what they say about the loudest people usually being the weakest. That’s what’s behind that scowl and trash talking that Garnett usually exhibits. Because inside of him, he’s afraid of taking responsibility of making or even attempting the shots that truly matter. Then again, it’s not just about him. However, there’s not one player you can rely on from that Celtics squad who’s capable of taking over games except maybe for Paul Pierce. There’s a difference between merely filling out the stat sheet from that of making an impact or being the catalyst down the stretch in close games.
The Hawks not only tied the series, but they seem poised to win it. It would have to be the first surprise to evolve from this year’s playoffs and a grand one at that. I hope I’m wrong though because the reemergence of the Celtics winning tradition is great for basketball. A first round disaster would definitely overshadow what had been an unbelievable regular season. This version of the Celtic big three are all Mchale’s and Parish’s, no Larry Bird’s.

I enjoyed the playoffs all weekend.

However, if I ever see another Dwyane Wade commericial, it will be far too soon.

Oh, one more quick comment…..

That ridiculous loophole in the rules that allows for the “hack-a-shaq” and the flopping problem in the NBA…..any chance either of those basketball atrocities is addressed before the Diesel’s contract is up in 2010?

Wow…. Did Sam “I can’t write two lines about a team Shaq is on without tearing into the diesel” Smith just write that Shaq has been good?

I’m absolutely flabbergasted, but thrilled to hear an honest opinion from a man (while amongst the top of the people in his profession) who seems to inexplicabley have a personal grudge against Mr. O’Neal.

In full disclosure, I am a life long Shaq fan and have done everything I could to watch the man perform since 1993, while living in the NBA wasteland know as Missouri. I’ve followed his every move/stat/quirky quote. But this has left me baffled….

Why do you have something positive to say about Shaq now? I’m not unhappy, but still in shock! You must just be more open to reality now that you are employed on neutral ground
Regardless of if I’m agreeing with you or if you are making me feel the urge to put my fist through the monitor, I’m going to continue to read your columns because they are interesting and you seem to be pretty intelligent (except when you’re dissing Shaq, haha).

Keep up the good work, Sam!

Anyway we could find out about the juicy details of your departune from the Trib though?

That George Karl joke sounds like a prostate cancer joke, and if so, it’s tasteless.
