Let's discuss all series (outside the LAL one which already has 2 threads..) here.. there will be a NBA Finals thread without a doubt but til that.. let's discuss here
-
We definitely got some interesting match-ups in the first round this year...Especially on the west. This could very well be the year of the surprise (Lakers over Suns, Warriors over Mavs, Denver over San Antonio, the champions getting knocked out in the first round, etc.)...Not saying all those are gunna happen, but this is definitely gunna be an interesting first round to watch.
-
^^^ well I think Bulls gonna beat the Heat and we're gonna beat the Suns.. that's all for the surprises... speak about another topic Cleveland has maybe the easiest way to go to the Finals Conf I've seen 4 years.. damn
-
my first round predictions:
West:
Dallas over GS in 5
Houston over Utah in 6
SA over Denver in 6
Phoenix over LA in 6
East:
Detroit over Orlando in 5
Chicago over Miami in 6
Toronto over NJ in 7
Cleveland over Washington in 5
-
Watch Cleveland get to the finals with all praise going to LeBron...If that happens, the media will once again conveniently forget how shitty the east really is. And who knows...Maybe David Stern wants it to be LeBron's year? Wade got '06. Western Conference Champs beware! :-\
That said, I don't see anyone passing Detroit in the east. MAYBBBE Chicago, but Detroit is the team to beat.
-
Detroit got the NBA Finals on lock imo.. if Chicago had the 2nd seed, they would have a shot but meeting Detroit in the 2nd round ... they have a tough serie against the Heat while Detroit will easily beat Orlando.. I don't think so
-
Dallas over GS in 4
Pheonix over LAL in 5
Utah over Houston in 7
San Antonio over Denver in 6
Raptors over Nets in 6
Bulls over Heat in 7
Detroit over Orlando in 4
Cleveland over Washington in 5
-
Detroit over Orlando 4-1
Cleveland over Washington 4-0
New Jersey over Toronto 4-3
Miamai over Chicago 4-2
Dallas over Golden State 4-2
Phoenix over LAL 4-2
San Antonio over Denver 4-1
Houston over Utah 4-2
A rematch in the finals sounds likley, but depends on if Miami stays healty enough to beat Detroit.
-
Dallas over GS in 4
Pheonix over LAL in 5
Utah over Houston in 7
San Antonio over Denver in 6

U dont think the Warriors can win a game? LOL.
-
Damn Kidd is ballin .. 11 assists in a half
-
Damn, Raptors making a comeback! :o
WHY IS A FEMALE ANNOUNCING THE FIRST PLAYOFF GAME?! :-X
-
^^^^ lol.. anyway most of the announcers are weak and/or way too subjective
-
WHY IS A FEMALE ANNOUNCING THE FIRST PLAYOFF GAME?! :-X
LOL...I was coming in this thread to post exactly that. I tune in to the game in the fourth and I hear a broad calling the game. Wack!
Anywho, call me crazy but I really think The Warriors are going to beat Dallas.

Kidd: 8 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists...this nigga couldn't complete the triple-double cuz of the points :-\
-
tough loss for my raps. but it's all good, it's defanitely gonna be a close series. We caught a tough break with bosh getting into foul trouble in the 1st half, so they were limited. Good to see V.C. struggle, but we needa pick up the win in game 2 or else it's done
-
New Jersey 96
Toronto 91
Chicago 96
Miami 91
96-91...the NBA is a setup!
-
3 underdogs New Jersey, Denver and Golden State win there Game 1's. Phoenix LA game was nuts, so was Denver over SA.
-
Baron Davis is amazing. I don't see them pulling off that upset tho.
Denver is going to beat San Antonio. No one on that team can guard AI or Melo.
-
I want a vet whose been puttin it down for years to finally get a ring. like A.I. or Kidd.
-
Both SAS and Dallas will get through.. Dirk , Howard , Ginobili and Duncan aren't going to play shitty like they did every game...
-

Melo is a big problem for SA though. They don't match up well with him. Watching the game, it was obvious that SA was the better team, but Denver has weapons. Another thing is they play the opposite style of ball than SA does, which is why Dallas is having so much trouble with GS. If Den and GS can continue to play on the road with that uptempo style, the older teams are gonna struggle mightyly. 8)
-
Man wtf is McGrady doing? This guy is being guarded by Derek Fisher (who is a full 6 inches shorter than him), yet he's still taking 360 fade away jumpers. POST HIM UP!
-
Houston comes back again in the second half, Detroit beats Orlando easily. Howard barley took any shots, and sat the bench through most of crunch time. I know Boozer had 40 something tonite, but McGrady and Yao were too much again. Chuck Hayes made some good hustle plays too.
-
Detroit - Orlando is no surprise... Rockets-Jazz series ain't finished yet, even at 2-0.. Utah was closed to win each time so I won't be surprised if they even the series at home but Okur has to step it up
-
Boozer must be pissed for backstabbing the Cavs, now he's a great player and his team might still not make the 2nd round, while the Cavs would have a very realistic shot at the Finals if he was with them.

Man even the Warriors could have a realistic chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, if they played in the East.

I thought he was gonna be a matchup problem for Yao, but he hasn't been taking good shots. And I agree with you & Nik about Kirelenko, this guy was one of the premier defenders, and has been basically a non factor. He had a nice block or 2 yesterday, but overall this dude isn't himself anymore.

They got Battier and McGrady switching on Okur, Yao's primary guy is Boozer.

Bulls & Phoenix dominate, Phoenix was very convincing.
We took a hard L tonight, I have really been sleeping on Anthony Parker, and Bosh was making unbelieveable shots. Jefferson didn't play well the entire game, and our young guys ( Boone, Williams, Wright ), just didn't do it tonight. :-\ We got to pull out at least 1 in Toronto to shift the series back in our favor.
-
Mark my words, the NBA, via the refs, won't let Miami lose easily.. I won't be surprised if the series is evened after the Miami home games :-X

It may not matter if Chicago keep shooting lights out the way they have.

^^^^ yeah 4sure, Bulls look a way better team right now.. but I've seen some huge changes of momentum in playoffs series through the years, that can change fast, especially with the home games
-
^^^^ yeah 4sure, Bulls look a way better team right now.. but I've seen some huge changes of momentum in playoffs series through the years, that can change fast, especially with the home games
Yeah I am not comfortable with a 2-0 lead playing against Miami but I like how the Bulls are playing. And we are getting good points and rebounds from our frontcourt.
-
^^^^ well I'm not saying Bulls ain't gonna win the series.. I'll be very surprised if they don't.. regarding the fact I don't see Miami winning a game at Chicago , plus if you keep playing at this level, the 2nd round is on lock
-

I am glad they came out ready to play for this series. That loss at the end of the season was HUGE, and with a young team you never know how they are going to take it. But they have been aggressive on offense and defense. The only thing I don't like is they tend to blow big leads. They either play wreckless or too conservative. I liked how in the 4th when Miami got the lead down to 7 they kicked it in another gear and pushed it back to 15-20.

warriors and pistons.

B diddy has been the best player in the playoffs so far
-
Damn, Diddy just got kicked out at the end of the 3rd quater. Looks like Dallas is gonna take this one now, up 13, no Davis.
-
I predict Duncun looks mean :o
-
B diddy has been the best player in the playoffs so far
LOL...after 1 game.

Convincing and boring win for Detroit, they go up 3-0. Orlando needs help in the off season, and even though he had a good game, Jameer Nelson should be scoring 19+ every night.
Houston looked pathetic, game wasn't televised but they looked like shit in the highlights. I hope they can pull it out, would love to see T-Mac advance.
And the Lakers won with Kobe making big plays down the stretch. The momentum in the series shifted greatly, and LAL had a complete turn around. Only thing is, Phoenix still kept it close despite LA's best efforts. I don't know if they can do that 3 more times.
-
^Houston's game was televised on NBA TV.
Orlando is obviously not a playoff team (SOMEONE had to get that 8th seed in the terrible east), and Jameer Nelson had one of the most disappointing seasons ever for them.
Lakers gave their best effort to climb back from a 17 point deficit. If they play like that for the whole game, Phoenix has no chance...PeACe

Hopefully my Bulls can get a 3-0 stranglehold on that series with Miami.

Orlando is a playoff team because they MADE the playoffs. And NBA TV isn't national, it doesn't come with the cable package. That shit is for losers anyways. \\
As far as the Lakers, they were very impressive last night, but I don't think they can play a whole game like that, at least not 3 out of the next 4.

The Houston/Utah game was the ugliest game I have ever seen, and even though only FOUR players scored for Houston, they were still in the game in the fourth.
Bill Walton would have said, "Would someone on the Houston bench please step up and hit a shot?"

NBATV is for losers? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read in the sports section, bro. Of course Orlando made the playoffs. LMAO@you not understanding what I'm saying. As for the Lakers playing a whole game like that...We did it the whole first half of the season, so I don't see why we wouldn't be able to do it now...PeACe

Miami is down 0-3 ;D

Kidd :o 16,16,19... Another win for the Warriors, Dallas just can't play this team ... the Bulls were impressive in the 4th quarter.. Detroit-Chicago is gonna be worth watching 8)

Hell yeah, now watch us beat Cleveland in the 2nd round 8)

^^^^ that's highly possible.. though the series against the Raptors ain't done yet.
-
^^^^ that's highly possible.. though the series against the Raptors ain't done yet.
Of course not, Toronto's is gonna be harder to beat than Cleveland, but I'm hoping Vince finally has gotten it into his head not to shoot jumpers all game long and take it to the basket.
-
I fuckin' hate Vince Carter.
-
^^^^ that's highly possible.. though the series against the Raptors ain't done yet.
Of course not, Toronto's is gonna be harder to beat than Cleveland
I don't agree with that.. Cavs don't look impressive at all on the offensive end but that"s a good defensive team and very good on the rebounds (especially offensive ones)...
-
Cavs will advance over NJ.
-
Damn , Nachbar BADLY missed a wide open 3 shot to win the series.. NJ will advance without a doubt though
-

No doubt, we didn't show up in the 1st half, I think they just wanna close it out in Jerz. As for GS, they gave that game away and they really should have won this. There is no doubt in my mind that they will beat Dallas in game 6, unless Jackson gets suspended for his conduct.
-
Damn.... did anybody watch the last 10 seconds of the Rockets and Jazz ... wtf was houston thinking. They were down by 2
with about 10 seconds left and didn't foul until there was 1.7 left :o. They had one of the jazz players trapped with two houston
defenders and they didn't foul. They probably would have still lost even if they fouled but at least give yourself a chance and try
to extend the game.
-
Wow, Was T-Mac crying during the post game interview?
-
Damn I missed it cuz it was on during the fight. I gotta check ESPN news.
-
I predict
warriors over jazz
spurs over suns
pistons over bulls
cavs over nets
spurs over warriors
cavs over pistons
spurs over cavs

second round predictions:
Detroit over Chicago in 7
Cleveland over NJ in 6
Phoenix over SA in 6
GSW over Utah in 6

cavs over nets

cavs over pistons, you're kiddin right
-
Another 1st round loss for T-Mac, what a fuckin loser :-X... Detroit D looks impressive.. let's see what happened in Game 2.. by the way good thing for GS, they'll have a better shot at beating Utah (who can't D the perimeter)
-
I predict
warriors over jazz
spurs over suns
pistons over bulls
cavs over nets

They gave them a run for their money last year, and in the meantime the Cavs got better and the Pistons didn't. It might be a wild pick, but not an absurd one. Hughes' impact will be a lot bigger than last year, when he was no factor at all in this series.
-
^^^^ Detroit was no longer playing at their level after being on top by two games.. further proof was them eliminated by Miami.. this year I think they will step it up when needed as they did back in 04 and 05... imo there are huge chances we'll see the NBA Finals 2005 against this year
-
Damn, Chicago got fucked up. Suns / Spurs should be good.

Chicasgo has to hustle more, all of the matchups in this series favor Detroit. Plus, I know the Nets cannot beat Detroit in a 7 game series.

You're doubting your own team? Even I think they can...They have a better chance than the Cavs do, at least.
-
Does anybody else agree that the Spurs/Suns and Pistons/Bulls series would be better suited as the Conference Finals? I think that the winners of these two series will be representing their respective conferences in the Finals. I can't believe someone is actually picking the Cavs over Pistons (assuming the Pistons win). The Pistons picked up Webber and he has given the team a huge lift. In the meantime what did the Cavs do to get better this season? Either way I'm taking SA over PHX, GS over UTAH, CLE over NJ and CHI over DET.

Of course, because I'm not a dickrider, Nets wont match up well with Detroit. True they would do better than Cleveland, but Detriot would still win. Plus, they are leaving Jerz soon anyways.

Not having faith in your team has nothing to do with not being a dickrider. The big 3 from New Jersey can overmatch anyone when they go off...You should know this. :grumpy:

And they won't do that everysingle game. Prince can guard Jefferson with ease, same for Hamilton on Vince and Chauncy on Kidd. And it's ok to have faith, YOU dickride.
And what happened with you saying last week that NJ was gonna be easily beat by Cleveland. Now you switch up? The Spurs big 3 tandem is better than ours, there are a few teams that can shut down NJ. Still NJ>>>>>>>>>>LA
-
When did I say Cleveland would easily beat NJ? LMAO. Quit pulling shit out of your ass again. I even said NJ has a good chance at taking it. VVV
They have a good chance at advancing over Cleveland...
The whole east is weak, minus Chicago and Detroit. LOL@NJ>LA though. Hmmm, lets see. New Jersey plays in the east. Lakers have had by far their worst season as a franchise injury-wise, and we STILL finished with a better record :-X...Kobe>NJ. :-*

I;m not gonna dig up threads like you, but when I revealed I was a Nets fan, you made a snide little comment about how Cleve will beat NJ now you switch up you flip flopper. And as for the record, we were injured all year too, we pulled our shit together, and at least we made it past the 1st round, we would have beat LA too.

"would" don't count for shit...Lakers were by far the most injury plagued team in the league this season. We played in a much tougher conference and STILL finished with a better record. Ya'll probably woulda' lost to the Suns in the first round too, and that's WITH the team putting it together (your team is currently playing its best ball of the year). We also took the season series from ya'll 2-0...Battered Lakers > Hot Nets. :-X

Whatever you wanna think kiddo. We have advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs 5 of the last 6 years regardless of record, Lakers have one of the best players of all time and can't even get past the first round.

Nets have a better supporting cast, the best point guard, an all-star caliber guard and forward, etc. etc. and are playing their best and STILL suck worse than the Lakers. AND you guys have no future as well...LOL. Kidd and Carter are gone soon, bro. And even if they stay, they're too washed up to do anything...At least we have SOMETHING to have hope for. :)

You got Chi over the Pistons yet think it's insane to pick the Cavs over them? Anyways, Pavlovic has become a much better player. He used to be a negative player. Now he's actually a factor offensively, and he also had a huge block in Game 1 against the Nets. Gooden and Varejao are also more focused now. Z hasn't lost a step. I'm not even going to talk about Hughes who was a complete mess last season and didn't really play last year against Detroit. The Pistons ain't gonna face the same team.

AND you guys have no future as well...LOL. Kidd and Carter are gone soon, bro. And even if they stay, they're too washed up to do anything...At least we have SOMETHING to have hope for. :)
How can you completely ignore the fact that we advance damn near EVERY year? You can't in good faith say we are worse than the Lakers team, we are a consistent winning franchise. No future? Kristic, Moore, Marcus Williams, Nachbar all getting better, gimme some LA players who are gonna get better or as good as those 4.
Last week, you posted that Cleveland will beat NJ easily, yesterday you jumped on our dicks saying we have a good chance, now your back to trashing the Nets. Your arguments make no sense, and have NO backing, and your basketball "fandom" is suspect because your obviously posting bullshit to get a reaction. You KNOW we are a better team, and the success in the playoffs proves that.

When did I say Cleveland would easily beat NJ? LMAO. Quit pulling shit out of your ass again. I even said NJ has a good chance at taking it. VVV
They have a good chance at advancing over Cleveland...
The whole east is weak, minus Chicago and Detroit. LOL@NJ>LA though. Hmmm, lets see. New Jersey plays in the east. Lakers have had by far their worst season as a franchise injury-wise, and we STILL finished with a better record :-X...Kobe>NJ. :-*
I;m not gonna dig up threads like you, but when I revealed I was a Nets fan, you made a snide little comment about how Cleve will beat NJ now you switch up you flip flopper. And as for the record, we were injured all year too, we pulled our shit together, and at least we made it past the 1st round, we would have beat LA too.
"would" don't count for shit...Lakers were by far the most injury plagued team in the league this season. We played in a much tougher conference and STILL finished with a better record. Ya'll probably woulda' lost to the Suns in the first round too, and that's WITH the team putting it together (your team is currently playing its best ball of the year). We also took the season series from ya'll 2-0...Battered Lakers > Hot Nets. :-X

Like I said, phillyboy, NJ most likely woulda been bounced first round in the west too. Why do we have the better record in the west and why did we take the season series from ya'll if we aren't the better team? New Jersey can only dream of being close to the franchise the Lakers are. And you're AGAIN pulling shit out of your ass like a moron. I NEVER said "Cleveland will beat NJ easily". So stop claiming I have no backing when it's YOU who can't provide proof for shit. LMAO@Kristic, Moore, Marcus Williams, and Nachbar. If that's what you're depending on for the BROOKLYN Nets, I feel bad for you.
KOBE, LAMAR, BYNUM, FARMAR, LUKE, RONNY, KWAME...1 extra year of experience together in the triangle will do a lot more for those players than the ones you listed. All we need to do is sign a point guard with the MLE (Mo Williams) and a veteran with the vets minimum (PJ Brown) and we'll be contenders, while ya'll will be a lottery team...
PG Mo Williams...Jordan Farmar/*draft pick*
SG Kobe Bryant...Mo Evans/Sasha Vujacic
SF Luke Walton...Vladimir Radmanovic/*draft pick*
PF Lamar Odom...PJ Brown/Ronny Turiaf
C Kwame Brown...Andrew Bynum/Chris Mihm

Does anybody else agree that the Spurs/Suns and Pistons/Bulls series would be better suited as the Conference Finals? I think that the winners of these two series will be representing their respective conferences in the Finals. I can't believe someone is actually picking the Cavs over Pistons (assuming the Pistons win). The Pistons picked up Webber and he has given the team a huge lift. In the meantime what did the Cavs do to get better this season? Either way I'm taking SA over PHX, GS over UTAH, CLE over NJ and CHI over DET.
You got Chi over the Pistons yet think it's insane to pick the Cavs over them? Anyways, Pavlovic has become a much better player. He used to be a negative player. Now he's actually a factor offensively, and he also had a huge block in Game 1 against the Nets. Gooden and Varejao are also more focused now. Z hasn't lost a step. I'm not even going to talk about Hughes who was a complete mess last season and didn't really play last year against Detroit. The Pistons ain't gonna face the same team.
I'm picking the Bulls over Pistons because I'm a Bulls fan and refuse to pick against my team.
-
Very good game between GS and Utah.. the offensive boards finally killed GS but they were very closed to win it so it's gonna be a very interesting series.. Chicago is very dissapointing, even if Detroit played great in both ends of the court, I was expecting better resistance from the Bulls.. you can see experience plays a huge role in this series

ROFL, why do you curse so much kiddo? How can I comprehend "sentences" like this
Oh yeah
Cavs will advance over NJ.
They have a good chance at advancing over Cleveland...
Flip flopper.

That's REALLY flip flopping, huh, phillyboy? I still think Cleveland will advance. I said New Jersey has a good CHANCE. Learn the difference and stop making an ass out of yourself.

Yeah Eddy Cuury and Tyson Chandler would have been useful in this series. Well, they had a good year. Hopefully with a high draft pick we can land a big man.
-
Yup...That's what I've BEEN saying.
Eddy Curry + Tyson Chandler >>>>>>>>>>> Ben Wallace + PJ Brown

I hear you. I did not want them to trade either one of them. Now we have to draft a big man since the pieces we have Paxson does not want to trade. Deng is going to be a All Star though, we were set, Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Chandler, Curry. I just hope that pick is high enough to get a legit center in the draft. Detroit is the better team for now. But they are killing us on the inside. Webber looks like a completely different player.
-
Obviously Chandler is a better scorer and probably better all around than Ben is now, and P.J. is at the end of his career, Curry's just getting good. That's why Chicago should have traded for Gasol. In the long run, it would have helped out better.
-
WARRIORS!

Ben went from ridiculously underpaid and underrated to slightly overrated to ridiculously overpaid and slightly underrated.
Crazy career.

WARRIORS!
Aren't you a Kings fan?

^Warriors = bandwaggon team of 2007. Not that it's a suprise.

hahahahaa Spurs trailing all the time and shit... :loser:
