Amare who?

Lakers -360
Suns +270
I've been betting against my heart and against the Suns every series so far this playoffs. This series will be no different. I absolutely love Steve Nash -- I watched virtually every one of his games with the Mavericks. I love Alvin Gentry, the Suns coach. I love Suns basketball, which is the closest you can get to Don Nelson basketball without having Nellie himself. I was very impressed by how the Suns picked apart the Spurs in the last series.
But I don't see any way they can beat the Lakers. Jump for the reasons why the Lakers meet the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals:
Baller's review of Just Wright: scouting report on Common

Thanks to the folks at @AmoebaSF, I got a chance to see an advanced screening of Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common, the other night. For the actual movie review, I recommend the "sophisticated" commentary by the New York Daily News, which kinda went over my head, but likewise I'm sure any of our GSoM NBA analysis would be met with a blank stare from Ms. Movie-Reviewer Elizabeth Weitzman. Then there's the on-point review by E! Online which basically says Just Wright is just ok.
But we hoopheads are looking for something else. Something way more insightful than the movie itself. And that is...
Is Common a balla?!
Well, aside from the YouTube clip above, hit the jump to find out -- plus some other interesting NBA tidbits from the film.
[TANGENT: Related to the poll, Bill Simmons's B.S. Report podcast recently had on David Duchovny, who seems to be a decent baller, and they discussed how Wesley Snipes sucks and Woody Harrelson is not bad.]

Say Goodbye to LeBron James, Cleveland - LeBron 2 New York Knicks this summer

Cleveland. Seriously what can I say? You were lucky to win the 2003 NBA Lottery. You trapped LeBron James in a flyover state for 7 years.
Now the good man can be freed.
After the jump a quote that pretty much sums Cleveland up- and more!

Is this LeBron's final game as a Cavalier?
via a.espncdn.com
In yesterday's action, nothing happened! That's because all of the other Round 2 series have been decided by 4-0 sweeps. But in the previous game of this series, we saw the Celtics take control of the game in the 2nd half and demolish the Cavaliers. We also saw a lackluster performance from LeBron James, leading some to question if his elbow sprain is flaring up, or if he has given up on his team.
Today, we will see if the Celtics can hold on to their 3-2 series lead and advance. Just last season, they held a 3-2 series lead against the Magic and lost the final 2 games, so it's not automatic that the Celtics will win tonight's game. And that's why we watch the game!
