ESPN said coverage starts at 7:30. I don't know if they are doing an hour of pre-game but, What time is tip-off??

It'll be 8:40 or so. These late nights are killing me. That is why I would like them to close it out tonight, so I can get normal sleep on Sunday night.

I agree...it's reminding me of what happened to me during the two Red Sox World Series runs in 2004 and 2007...it took me weeks to catch up on all that lost sleep!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

What we need:

-Perkins to eat Flip Saunders and Co. again.
-Ray Allen to continue to hit outside shots.
-Pierce to do his thing.
-KG to have a scorer's killer-instinct mentality.
-Sam Cassell to stay on the bench.

Victory!

Sorry to hear that about your late nights guys, but it actually benefits me. I work at night, so a normal regular season game I would never catch anything but the postgame. When a game starts at 8:30 or so, I usually catch all of the second half. :)

But I do agree, let's hope they finish them off tonight!

I don't mind the late starts either, because my job goes from 10:00 to 6:00, and I live a 15 minute walk away. I can sleep in after a long Cs game. Ahhhhh, the good life!

No surprise, but it is official that rip hamilton (elbow) will play game 6.

"I ain't got no choice," Hamilton said. "I told guys today don't look at me as a handicap out there. I am ready. I am good to go." The injury is to Hamilton's shooting elbow, so we wouldn't be surprised if his shot suffers. There's also a chance --however slim, in an elimination game-- that the injury will reduce his minutes, meaning Rodney Stuckey would get extra burn. May. 30 - 12:25 pm et

Saw that. Hopefully he'll be more of a detriment to the Pistons.

And none of this "Waah waah I want to beat them at full strength!" garbage. One game away from the finals!

You guys I got to get this off my chest. I had a horrible dream last night that during the second quarter Rip Hamilton layed out Paul Pierce and he had to leave on a stretcher.

Questionable refs tonight.

Bennett Salvatore

Joe DeRosa - Number one homer ref in the NBA. Home teams are 51-26-2 against the spread in games he has reffed this year. The number one homer ref in the league has work in the playoffs???

Oh no!

The only way this could get better is if Violet Palmer was the third!

Isn't the league such a joke when players, coaches, and fans know that certain refs have certain proclivities that can affect the outcome of a game so much?
