Cavs vs Buckeyes er Celtics

[cwerph]

Evan Turner and Jared Sullinger in the playoffs vs Lebron James and the Cavs.

I generally hate the NBA, but will probably watch the Cavs sometimes.

Another championship for Ohio would be awesome.

I am still surprised that Evan Turner has not been a better pro. Rumor is he is a horrible teammate, but then again, so was that POS Jordan, and it did not seem to hurt him.

When you're the greatest basketball player in the world, you can get away with that. When you're Evan Turner you can't.

True, but I also do not remember Turner being a bad teammate at OSU.....not sure what happened to him in the pros.

As much as I loved Turner, I never saw him as more than a 2(at best)-3 tier player in the NBA.

Read this book . . .

According to Mark Titus, he was a real putz.

Even if you disagree with him about Turner, it is a very funny book. Great stuff about Oden and Thad.

Titus's book isn't the only place I heard it. He was a prick long before he made it to the NBA.

Since I don't follow it much, it seems like Sullinger isn't exactly a huge cog in the Celtics' wheel, or at least not today. Has he been hurt or something?

He got hurt and was excepted to miss rest of year. Made a early comeback late in the year with them in the race to make the playoffs

That was the story at OSU as well.

His nickname was "the villain" for a reason.

Ok, so kind of like Lou Piniella calling Paul O'Neill "The Big P"....and the P did not stand for Paul.

Yep!

Cavs lead 3-0.

Up 22-14 in the 1st q of game 4 in Boston. Looks like Kevin Love may have had his shoulder dislocated on a rebound.

And they are going to lose JR Smith for, most likely, 2 games min.

The Cavs aren't a deep team, so losing Love AND Smith for the first quarter or more of the Bulls series could put them in a bad situation.

It will be interesting. I had the Bulls winning already before that stuff happened.
