I wonder if the Celtics regret trading away Perkins.

Doc Rivers to stay with Celtics -- gets new deal. I guess Phil's retirement from Lakers came at a pretty good time for Doc! Rivers Gets 5-Year Extension as Coach of Celtics
Excerpts Instead, the five-year contract worth a reported $35 million would give him the chance to lead the franchise with a rebuilt roster that probably won't include any of the thirtysomething stars who led Boston to its 18th NBA title — and Rivers' first — in 2008.
"Doc wants to be here. It's not all because he thinks that over the next five years we will have the best team in the NBA," Ainge said. "He's part of this franchise. He wants to do what it takes for us to be successful."

Kudos to OKC and Durant for playing a much better all around game--of course he scored big but he played better overall instead of being just a jump shooter. Westbrook was great today as well and the worst trade in NBA this year has OKC in WCF and Boston home watching with crazy ass Danny Ainge talking of benching Paul Pierce in favor of Jeff. Drug testing for GM's in league???
LIKE A BOSH showed up and played a nice offensive game.
Like A Bosh also showed up and played LIKE A BOSH on defense/boards.
TAJ GIBSON--SICK AND SICKER.
New Blood in Conference Finals--FUN.

Forgot to mention the "fashion" statement of OKC at postgame presser, Westbrook looked like a combo of Mars Blackmon and Urkel, and Durant's backpack look made a statement. OKC is Revenge of the Nerds!!

Actually, that was a pretty awful piece of self-indulgent drivel by Bill Simmons about Bill Simmons, featuring a guest appearance from Phil Jackson. I'm sorry, but this guy is just awful. Seriously. Read through that again. When Bill Simmons tries to be a humorist and write about sports and pop culture, he is still very good. When he tries anything else, the weight of his self-involvement is completely unbearable. Here's one hint -- among countless others I could list -- for the author: the next time you have the opportunity to sit down for a meal and an after meal conversation with one of the greatest coaches of all time, I'd be a lot more interested in what he had to say than what you imagined he was thinking and your wondering whether or not he read your book.

The Perkins legend among Boston fans is unbelievable. He must be the most overrated player in the history of basketball. No games were won or lost because of Perkins on OKC or Perkins not on Boston. Nick Collison and Nazr Mohammed were more effective big men for OKC. To say that Perkins is the reason OKC won the series is like saying the Heat beat the Celtics because of Joel Anthony. Perkins on Boston would have made no difference. The Celtics lost because the Miami stars played much better than Boston's stars. OKC won because Durant played much better than anyone in Game 7.

The fact that he felt compelled to include the "tweet at" to Pau made me laugh a little.

Proposed trade: Jeff Green for Kendrick Perkins. Approved by Doc Rivers.

Dirk was amazing last night-and Durant showed up and matched, Westbrook was brutal from field, and Terry/Barea kept their hot shooting going. Fun game but seeing Dirk go to FT line 24 times and Durant around 20 far less enjoyable then watching them making shots.

With Nowitski, Durant, Westbrook, Rose, Wade, and James get used to watching a lot of free throws in both series. Would like to see more no-calls when the offensive player initiates the contact, but that is today's NBA.

Want to be like Mike.....Two young men, D. Rose and D. Wade grew up in Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan. Now they are two NBA stars chasing Jordan's notoriety

The officiating in the 2nd Quarter took any flow out of the game--awful job by them-and it was even-both teams suffered from awful calls. Understand stars gets some calls but CJ Watson is embarrassing Chalmers right now--guy can't even bring the ball up the court and the fouls on Watson were horrific.
Rose was held in check, Haslem was huge, and Lebron closed out Game 2. Now another week between Game 2 and 3. Oprah filming in Miami too?

It's imperative that the Bulls win one in Miami. If not.....?
