Is it fair of the sports media to blame Kevin Garnett for why the Celtics and the Cavs are tied in the series?

[BIRD33]

Yes,guy who I have no clue who you are.He scored 2 points in the second half.This is the guy who was third in MVP voting.I've always said he was overrated and this series just proves it.I still think the Celts win in 7 but that has more to do with Lebron being on a team with players in the starting 5 that couldnt start on many other playoff teams.KG is comparable to a David Robinson.Good player, probably a hall of famer but a few steps below the all time greats.

Are you a cavs fan?

[ji_docfunk]

Not a Cavs fan....i am a spurs fan.

[BIRD33]

If they get past the Hornets they are winning the whole thing.The Lakers are a easier match up for the spurs lineup.

celts are in trouble when they play someone who can win in Boston. like Detroit.

[BIRD33]

[I]Walsh didn't connect the videotaping directly to Belichick. In his conversation with Goodell, Walsh referred to Belichick, eerily, as "the man behind the curtain.'' Goodell said he was told by Walsh that after videotaping opposing signals, he would turn the tapes over to Ernie Adams, a shadowy figure in the front office whose title is "football research director.'' (When Belichick coached in Cleveland, no one knew what Adams did, and owner Art Modell once said of Adams: "I'll give anyone $10,000 if they can tell me what Ernie Adams does.")

Apparently what he did, in part, was try to match signals from coaching staffs to formations and plays, so that the next time the Patriots played the team in question, they might be able to steal signals if the coaching signals had not been changed. Goodell also said Walsh took his direct instruction from Patriots video director Jimmy Dee.



For one, it's clear Goodell thought last September and still thinks now that Belichick was lying when he told Goodell he "misinterpreted'' the rule banning videotaping of opposing teams' coaching signals. Belichick has said he thought he was allowed to videotape coaching signals as long as he did not use the knowledge gained during the same game. That's extremely hard to believe. The rule has been on the books for years, and a year before the Patriots were caught for spying against the Jets, league vice president Ray Anderson issued a memo saying, "Videotaping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent's offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches' booth, in the locker room, or at any other locations accessible to club staff members during the game.'' How someone as thorough as Belichick would not know such a public rule is pretty hard to fathom.[/I]


Please continue your lecture about class.

Must win tonight for the celts... same as it was a must win last night for the Hornets. A series doesn't really start until the home team drops a game.

Second, Walsh told Goodell that the tapes were turned over to football savant Ernie Adams. This raises real questions about the team’s contention that the value of the tapes was minimal.

Third, Walsh said that he was told that the taping system was designed to focus on divisional opponents (the Bills, the Jets, and the Dolphins). This reinforces the notion that the tapes weren’t used for in-game adjustments, and proves to us that there’s at least one person at ESPN whose head isn’t currently residing in his rectum when it comes to the question of whether the Pats were turning the tapes around and using them in the same game in which the raw footage was being harvested.
