The news bit reads as such:
"Amare Stoudemire said on Tuesday that Lamar Odom's 19 points and 19 boards on Monday were a result of luck.
"I'm not giving him no hype right now; he had a lucky game in Game 1," Stoudemire said of Odom. Alvin Gentry said Stoudemire's comments were "ridiculous," while Odom didn't take the 'war of words' bait. "So be it," Odom said. "Hopefully I can have another lucky one."
This was obviously a poor decision by Amare and his teammates have probably let him have it. And if they haven't, this series is probably over.
Source: ESPN.com "
That last paragraph pretty much sums my thoughts on the outcome of this series. I had told Sunder prior to game 1 that this can possibly be a sweep. I feel a little more confident in my prediction knowing what kind of a squad LAL can be when things get a little personal. Ask JR Smith about last season during the playoffs as to what happened to him and his Nuggets squad..... Anyhow Amare being some what of a seasoned vet in this league should no a little better, and what he's essentially done is turn the focus of this series on him.
If buddy doesn't put up a nice 30/18 line in game 2 + a win, he's gonna never hear the end of it. The Suns seem like a close squad and crew, Amare is the recipient of a lot of those Nash dimes. So what I'm thinking is the following:
Nash is having a heart to heart with Amare right now and is like, "dog, what the hell man, why'd you have to run your mouth?" Amare responds with, "steve give me the rock bro, just feed me all game, ill prove everyone wrong. Ill show the world...."
Steve Nash being a good team mate, friend and a boy of Amare's will be like...."Aiiight, homie, aigghht."
So Amare will come out with a head of steam and play right into a game plan devised by Phil and Kobe, get like 3 quick fouls early on and the Lakers will attack the Suns much like they did in game 1, all the meanwhile they'll be f'n with Amare from start to finish. They'll play the Suns like a puppet, and before you know it the Lakers will be up by 20 and the game is finito.
Lamar had a solid game and jus cause your team and yourself played like doo doo, giving up 128 pts in a playoff game (which you can never ever do if you wanna be considered one of the top teams in the L), you gotta make a dumb ass comment like the one above? Dude WTF!? If you were seeking attention then congrats you got it. If you wanted to jus f**k with Lamar, well you have another thing coming bro. The Lakers, do this for a living (win chips that is). Kerr is most likely gonna give it to him and his team mates right now going into game 2 are probably f'n pissed with the dude. Like you've alienated yourself in the locker room, just like that pic buddy, take a close look at the pic for this post. That'll be you at the 1/2 of game 2.....
Sabotage!?! Probably not.
Dumbassness!?! Probably.
Steve Nash, my Canadian Brother, goodluck.
Oh yah, Amare you just earned the Big Kev (@_bigkev_) foo of the week award for that comment.....foo.

"Seriously ESPN - can't we skip the pregame show and go back to Mutant Russian Mark Cuban? Or a split screen where we can just stare at him?"

Seems to me they are totally convinced he's coming over to sign that max deal, like tomorrow. I had called the Cavs dismantling in the 2nd round or the Eastern Conference Finals this season, from time kids. Sunder highlighted what and why they lost and you really can't argue with his points at all. Now based on Lebron and his 1 man circus antics for the past 7 seasons, does it make a difference if he actually does go to the horrendous Knicks? I mean Melo, has Billups, KD & co are a young squad that need perhaps a veteran to help lead them over the proverbial 'hump'. Wade like Lebron has been a one man show for quite a bit and has had no success in the post season as has our very own CB4. Wade however won a chip when he was paired up with a formidable Shaq a few years back, when the big diesel still had a 1/2 litre in the tank.
So what I'm trying to get at, these guys need to defer at times to a 'General', a veteran presence who's been there and done that to seek success. Guys who at times were the "Man" but are aging and are willing to take the 2nd seat in order to achieve greater success are perhaps necessary to win it all in the greatest league in the world. Look at Orlando, its no doubt there who the man is, but when you have guys like Lewis and VC who have been the "man" for the better parts of their career content on droppin 12ppg or the occasional 25ppg when duty calls, your squad will be pretty hard to beat. It however takes a certain type of attitude adjustment for a superstar to defer at times to another guy for the greater good of the team. Knowing the spotlight will not always be on you at times......ego....
I am not saying that the only way to win a chip is in this manor (but LAL has Gasol, the C's have KG/Ray Ray and Pierce) but its a pretty decent formula. Sure the Cavs have or had Jamison on the squad, but he came 1/2 way thru the season and has never really been the "man", more of a great, great sf/pf who can be a decent piece on a squad.
With all this being said, I don't think a move to the Knicks is that far fetched at all. Seriously, considering Lebron's intentions career and fame wise, does it really matter if the Knicks are really very far off from signing this guy and have a long way to go to achieve success. A lot of my boys and peeps in general think that Bron will stay in Cleavland cause there "almost there". Well I personally don't know what to think about the entire situation, since its Lebron. This guy has proven time and time again he's not the brightest light in the lamp and would rather become a conglomerate then a NBA chip winner.
He obviously does want to win but there is a huge difference between a guy like Kobe and Lebron. The argument "who's better" I don't think is an argument until the guy actually wins something besides all star votes and popularity contests. He is an icon already and can really take it to another level in NY, I am sure of it. If I'm 25 years old, at the prime of my career and am simply Lebron James, then I'm going to the place where the street lights will inspire you.....
His one man show antics will make any team automatically a playoff contender each season but, the guy needs to somehow find that balance as his peers who have had success have done it. The Knicks and Lebron are perhaps the identical entity if you really think about what both are about.....(....messsssssage !!! A la, don't be a menace lol)

From the All Star break onwards this Orlando team has been in an upward swing and has been rolling thru the NBA. Vince stepped it up, Jameer came back and was rockin and Dwight was just a monster. So far during this playoff run Dwight has really taken charge of this team leading them in all facets of play with guys like Pietrus, Lewis and Nelson helping the charge. Vince has yet to find consistency but is knocking down shots and scoring in bunches as its needed. Factor this on some great play making on VC's part, the Magic are looking good. I anticipate the next series the Magic have (eastern conference finals) Vince will be "step step, steppin up" and at that point this team will be really very difficult for them to lose.
I have liked this Magic team to be a finals contender since they made that Vince Carter trade last summer. Hedo fit that team well but Vince adds a whole other dimension and dynamic this Magic team needed to get over the "hump". A showdown between both the Cavs (like their chances against the C's) and (ill go outta limb and say LAL) will be what the NBA really wants. Lebron vs Dwight, and Dwight vs Kobe in the finals. The NBA has showcased Lebron and Wade heavily throughout the years, with Howard getting tons of exposure for his dunk off antics, but now they can showcase their next great big man in the finals spectrum of things, with a real chance to de thrown the Lakers. Great stuff here for Stern.....
Either way I called this from time, and just thought I'd remind the brokeankles universe about this. The Cavs are a phenomenal team, but I just don't like their genetic make up against a team like Orlando. Seriously. The only team that I think and have thought that can dismantle the Cavs in a seven game series are the Magic. The Magic have a better starting five, a better bench and about three guys out on the perimeter that can break down anyone on the Cavs.
Let's see what happens, there is still some ways to go but I'm feeling good about this Magic team.

If I'm Utah, I put this picture up on the screen/jumbotron in game 3/4 for sure. Like w/o a doubt. Similar to the Hoff music played for Dirk a couple years back.

Congrats to Lebron, back to back MVP awards and you are only 25 years old. Jordan had 6 in total, I'm sure you'll be up there as well. But get that chip, and at 25 you will solidify yourself as one of the greatest ever (despite all my hating) I give your game mad props.
Cleveland is looking like the LAL in the east, shaky yet effective.
The Bucks are foreal, and Brandon Jennings should have been a co-rookie of the year winner a la, kidd/hill in ummm 93 I think? If anyone has doubts still about your game, actually wtf am I talking about? No doubts, you are the real deal. Can't wait till next season to see a healthy Bogut and Redd playing alongside you. Sick.
'@chrisbosh, let me rephrase, should I stay or should I go' .....watchu think son? My question is the following; is it really necessary to rub it in our faces!?!
Is Deron Williams the best PG in the league yet? I think so....Utah, my boy Dennis said it best today, you guys are always going to be a great, great 2nd round team. Forever, something needs to give....I wanna see Deron playing on prime time all the time.
D.Rose/J.Noah, why can't the Raptors get guys like you? Ok can we just settle on having guys with heart and balls like you guys? Please, pretty please.
"I am glad we played Chicago in the first round rather then the Raptors b/c...." Thanks Mr MVP for punking us. Great.
Vince Carter, are you there?
Orlando vs Cleveland, eastern conference war is imminent, I'm taking Orlando in 6. Yah I said it, any takers.....
How awesome is Joakim Noah. Foreal. Note to the Raptors big men, watch Noah, on and off the court, and learn. Get that tape, DVD or whatever, and just watch him.
"We never give up....its all about...step,step,steppin up, we never give up..." I love that commericial, need to d/l and pump it quick in the ride. Oh yah and the Nike Hyperizers track, check youtube.com/brokeanklesblog if you haven't seen it already.
Non NBA related - did you know Kim Kardashian is knockin a new set of cleats now.....
Back to the NBA.....
Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace are f'n sick. Can't wait to play with them in NBA Jam 2010
Durant aka Velvet Hoop and Westbrook. Wow. Again let me rephrase that...holy shit. You guys are gonna own this league in 2 more years, KD you were my MVP this year. Good run boys, great run.
Gasol is pretty solid, like he needs at least 20 touches a game, Artest doesn't wanna score anymore so Ron Ron say it out loud, "I want to give all my shots to Pau". If that happens, LAL is almost 100% guaranteed to win back to back chips, Gasol averaging plus 20 a game with Kobe @ 30ppg, done and done son.
Did you all know that the Bobcats were in the playoffs this year. Seriously, if you don't believe me, check box scores from two weeks ago.
Rajon Rondo got smoked, aerial assault last game. Mo Williams aka Fog Raw, KG is watching you....let's see KG pull that Q Rich shit in Cleveland, I dare him too. But you know something is going down. FYI Back2Back and Pierce don't like each other to much.
Spurs are still in it....Cuban, what to do bro!? You've tried any and everything, maybe its time to liquidate.
