Charles Barkley : "I'll bet anything i got, all my money, my cars..

[PorkChop]

that Cleveland beats Boston."

Poor guy. Just can't stop.

Gotta love it.

And for the record. I think Boston can win this series. No one talking about them, there healthy (relatively speaking), and seem to be turning it on at the right time.

Here's to me waiting on the Celtics/Cavs series price.

Got UTAH at +675 after their game 1 loss.

[emoney]

Chuck is right, there is no way Boston can win this series

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cleveland has glaring weaknesses but they will beat the Celtics in 5 games. Jamison will be huge in this series and Shaq will earn his pay against Perkins plus he will get revenge against Big Baby for breaking his thumb. AV will be an absolute pest and always locks down KG. Lebron will negate Pierce.

The only advantage the Celtics will have is Rondo. I don't think you can win a series riding Rondo. He should have a field day with Mo guarding him but Mo can come under the pick because Rondo can't hit a jump shot. The Celtic's are really getting older with every day.

I agree with Barkley. Bet the farm on a Cav's series win here.

[RkD KiD]

that idiot says anything on camera...thats why we love to watch him

[lyon804]

Yea, well I agree if tonite is any indication of who the Cavs are. The Cavs have them at home in a closeout game and can't put Chicago away? I know I don't know ball like some here and I did not watch the whole game. Just turned it on for the last 5 minutes and said... "Damn, they look bad" Hell, if Lebron don't play like a super hero they will get beat by Boston. The Cavs supporting cast for the most part looked less than reliable. A real champion right there would have smelled blood in the water and would have pumped Chicago big time, but what did the Cavs do? Let them hang around.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Lyon - The Cav's are sandbagged with Mike Brown as a coach. He is totally useless with his head up his ass on the sidelines. He knows nothing about proper substitutions, how to work the refs, when to play guys who are hot (Jemario Moon tonight) versus keeping in Mo Williams who played like shit. It took Lebron to come out publically and say that JJ Hickson needed to play before Brown played Hickson in the last game. Hickson played and put in quality minutes and points going up against Chicago's quick bigs, where Z and Shaq were getting abused. Tonight, he plays Hickson for about 2 minutes. Mike Brown is a horrible In Game coach. He never draws up plays and just sits back and let Lebron run the show.

The Cav's were up 9 points tonight in the 4th and were about to blow the game open but Chicago goes on a 9 point run and he refused to call a timeout with a bad lineup on the court. I can't think of a game where Brown outcoached the opposing coach and that's going up against some average coaches in the NBA. I think he's a good coach in practice and he teaches defense but In Game, he sucks ass.

Him and Mo Williams are the weak links of the team. The Cav's can only go as far as they both take them and I don't think it will be very far.

Well, they got the job done tonite and closed out the series but it was less than spectacular. I have been saying for some time them "other" coaches don't make good coaches if you feel me. I don't need to say anymore than that, but the points you make here make since to me.

[jackpot269]

Chuck needs gambling help I think he has a little problem !!!!!!!!

[michalis]

you guys are like goldfish

one game cavs beat the bulls by DD and they are untouchable, undefeatable, you are handing them the ring already

one bad game and they suck all of a sudden?

I will say this is a big difference between this year's Cavs team and last year's. Last year they would absolutely crush weaker opponents right from the tip, usually winning by double digits. However, they were pitiful against the top 3 teams (LA, Boston, Orlando). This year they tend to let weaker opponents hang around until the fourth quarter and then pull away in the last 6 minutes or so, but have done MUCH better against the top teams. I think their level of play will rise and their opponents do.

More important right now is the health of Lebron's arm.

[shhplit]

barkley once said he doesn't have a gambling problem because he can afford it!

[HoulihansTX]

Poor guy. Just can't stop. Gotta love it.

IF Charles does it, he will be doubling up in 5 games.

[Sunde91]

Fukin guy has lost 10 million and "conservatively" bets 20k hands.

The Cavs did not seem very motivated or intent on taking care of business. I guess they were kinda waiting got Lebron to win it. Mo Williams looked bad. I don't know if the Cavs can win a championship with him on the floor. I know you take up for him willy and all the Cavs, but MO is a bullshit player that is a streaky hot 3 point shooter.. other than that the guy has no value and would not play for me. I have told you before I watched him play college at Alabama and he was horseshit then too. He will be abused against Nelson and others. Hopefully, for your sake Lebron is roaming well and sending them back because all PG will live in the paint on him.

[krk1030]

Orlando will beat whoever they play, they are the best team in the east.

[sweetjones55]

Delonte West is a great cover on Rondo.

[Goat Milk]

Delonte West is a great cover on Rondo.

No way bro Delante can't guard Rondo Rondo is way too long and can would out rebound west. I don't think Delante isnt the same as he was last year defensively. But Delante I think will come off the bench and guard Ray Allen when Parker and Jamario Moon are not in the game to chase Ray Ray off screens n shit. Big Baby, Sheed will probably eat a nut this series Hickson and Varajea will out play them. I think Allen will shit on any of those guys though especially the rhythm hes in now and pierce is going to play well; him and bron always have the best battles.

Cavs in 6

[yisman]

If LeBron is healthy, Cleveland wins.

[AnotherLoan]

Cleveland is the 3rd best team in the East. They won't make it to the finals.

[spongerat]

I like the celtics!

[qhdlhdjtn]

do it then let see what happen to you

[THE PROFIT]

I just saw Charles get into an argument with the other guys, then he says "ok, you take the celtics then" 3 times. He cant talk about the game with other people on TV as a commentator and NBA analyst without talking like we do to each other & other gambling associates. Too funny!

[Goat Milk]

Cleveland is the 3rd best team in the East. They won't make it to the finals.

[thechaoz]

Guy is a full blown addict like I know in real life. They bet $25/hand not 20K but man if he didn't have all his taco bell/tv jobs he would be way broke from his NBA days. Kind of sad really. If he just gambled responsibly it would be cool but he has dropped millions upon millions. Someone should tell him about SBR and he can tail blindly. He would def do better then getting killed on BJ in Vegas.

[THE PROFIT]

Hell, he might already be postin'

Cleveland is hands down the best team in the East.

boston is sux cleveland will blow them out

[zogdog]

Cavs in 5. They win games one and two, lose game three, win games four and five. Just like the Chicago series.

[yisman]

They won't make the finals.

It's possible. They're still the best team in the East right now and have a better shot than any other team of making the finals.
