As an Akron-native, all I can say is GO CAVS!

Lebron - Daz mah boi!

Hopefully Elbowgate is in in the past after last night...

How on earth is the NHL playoff thread so much longer than the NBA playoff thread? Come on people, let's talk some basketball! lol

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm hoping the Jazz can at least get a couple of wins at home and give the Lakers something to think about.

macclellan · May 8, 2010

Nah, I want to see the Jazz at least make the Lakers sweat too. I just don't think they are big enough. It would be great if they could go with more 3 guard looks and pull off an NCAA-style midmajors upset.

Old money, let me guess. Your favorite place to eat is either Ken Stewarts or Lannings? (Lannings gets my vote over the two).

GO CAVS!!!

Hah! I just meant that West Akron is upper crust, not me. My parents are both professionals (architect and nurse) that come from working class families. I'm a poor Ph.D. student... :nerd: While I have eaten at both restaurants (prefer Ken's BTW - great alligator!), neither is my style. I prefer to eat at places like Luigi's, Rockne's, Alladin's, House of Hunan for sushi, etc. when I'm back in town. That probably reflects the fact that I'm from Highland Square area, not "deep west" Akron where all the snobs live. :xd:

At 3:30am Luigi's is like heaven on earth. :tongue:

Now to all you people in Boston looking to take the Cavs Sunday, let me quote former Cavaliers player and local announcer Austin Carr...

"Get that weak stuff outta here!!!"

LBJ won't do that again... I'm not sure where the double team was, but it gives him trouble for sure. Spreading the floor was the best thing they could have done the game prior.

igot2gats · May 8, 2010

All I can say is WOW the last couple of days:

The Spurs down 0-3, & the Hawks are getting blown out AGAIN in Game 3. I thought there wasn't any doubt these 2 teams would go to their respective conference finals.

I'm still in total shock....

Poor Jazz, that was a tough loss last night. Bryant and Fisher with back to back threes, then Williams still gets a good look at the buzzer, and there was a chance at a tip that still didn't go.

It was definately a heartbraeker. The Lakers are just too good. Poor Mathews didn't sleep well I'm sure.
