    I know we have some NBA haters here :d ,

    But im as excited as ever to watch game 7 of this already amazing series. This is one of the good things the NBA has going for it right now :cool:

    In case you missed it, some highlights:

    Paul Pierce Game Winner

    Ray Allen Game Winning 3

    Ray Allen with a clutch overtime 3

    Ray Allen's 51 point game

    Joakim Noah's huge poster dunk on Pierce

    Derrick Rose game winning block


    Its been a long time since i have seen a playoff series this entertaining. Huge shots, big dunks and fantastic finishes. 7 overtimes altogether (in 4 outta 6 games). Rondo, Rose, Allen and Miller all playing the best ball of their lives.

    Amazing series thus far and I'll definitely be watching game 7 tonight. Hopefully this years game is a little more competitive than the Celtics game 7 first round game last year! I'm not sure the bulls can win game 7 in boston but i'm sure hoping they do.

    its been a great series to watch but i think the bulls fall short tonight.. celtics come out with more energy an go away with it. other than game 2 or 3 where celtics won by 20+ the biggest margin of victory was what. 3 pts? if the bulls could get a good inside presence they will be good for a while.. noah jus dont cut it for me...

    Rondo is starting to annoy me. I am a HUGE fan, and he is playing the BEST ball he has ever played. Started out AVERAGING a triple double in a playoff series. What gets me, is these shady plays he has been doing lately. Smackin Brad Millers face on the layup then admitting his intentions, throwing an elbow at Henriech. His level of play is above that now. I wish one of the vets on the Celtics would talk some since into him or else a hard retaliation foul for a reality check. I LOVE RR, and I LOVE how he is performing...just wish he wasn't getting into these petty near-suspension shady plays.

    I know what you mean, i HATE Rajon Rondo (Cavs fan :d ), and his play has been very dirty as of late.

    BUT,

    It creates alot of entertainment and drama, and we all love to watch fights. Also, statistically he is a monster right nown and i have to give him credit for that.

    How about Ray Allen? Is he the greatest 3 point shooter ever? I believe a good argument could be made.

    Rondo is definitely putting up some incredible numbers. I'd be interested to see how he would do on a team where is a number 1 option rather than the 3rd guard option. I'd say then he'd be really exposed for his lack of a jumper outside of 8 feet. It's a shame he doesn't play in the west so we could see him against paul, parker, williams and the games other elite PGs on a more consistent basis

    Reggie = 0 Championship
    Allen = 1 Championship

    Ray Allen:
    13 seasons
    3 time league leader
    2299/5777 career at .398%
    12 years with over 100 three pointers made and 5 years with over 200

    Reggie Miller:
    18 seasons
    1 time league leader
    2560/6486 career at .395%
    15 years with over 100 three pointers made and 1 over 200


    Ray Allen will destroy Reggie's career 3's mark and will finish with a better percentage.

    the intangibles of WHEN those 3pters were hit will make Miller stand above... he was better in the clutch outside...

    With 0 rings to show for it. Ray Allen had been just as clutch when given the opportunity.

    Reggie had Rick Smits.

    Ray Allen has KG.

    Do you think Ray Allen would have a ring with Rick Smits? I don't think so.

    One moment doesnt make you the "greatest", its happens over a career, by hitting shots. I know its blasphemous to say anybody but Reggie is the best, but Ray Allen is the one.
