NBA Playoffs

[natural^]

so uh, no thread about the playoffs, no one watches? i didnt either at first, but espn turns anyone into a fan.

but, as a mavs fan, im depressed, we are going to lose to a team with hardly no playoff experience

 

[min0 lee]

Yes.

 

[natural^]

Yes.

its alright, it will be celts for sure and probably the lakers in the finals anyways

 

[min0 lee]

I rather the Celtics and not Kobe.

 

[natural^]

yeah, im not a kobe fan either espcecially since in the summer he wanted to be traded and then when the lakers got that good trade and they started to win he stayed, but he has had a hell of a season regardless. i say celts in 7.(this is IF its celts vs. lakers)

 

[HialeahChico305]

I dont think the mavs got what it takes..........the team hasn't gotten used to play with Kidd. harris was a better fit IMO.

true, im still undecided whether i support the kidd trade or not, i think the mavs got caught up in the trade fever with teams like the suns and lakers making trades. nonetheless, i dont think we will beat NO after what i saw tonight, though its one game. mavs still got more experience than NO, but i dont know if it will be enough.

GO Nuggets

GO Nuggets

good luck with that today haha

The Celtics' journey starts tonight. What a weekend with last nights Bruins game, tonights Celtics game, and then the Patriots Day Red Sox matinee tomorrow afternoon/morning.

I pounded hard on the Bruins last night and am using some of my winnings on Philly +10 tonight against the Pistons. Philly ended the season on a sour note which is why the line is so high, but this 76ers team is revived and really played tough with Detroit all year.

All good series thus far...

GO Nuggets

From watching game one today its same old Denver Nuggets, No defense. Kenyon was the only bright star at the defensive end, trying to get in kobe's head (kobe was actually struggling the first half).

Kobe is a punk. When his team is doing well, he is cocky and talks a lot of shit. When his team is in a funk, he complains and demands a trade or tells the front office what to do. I absolutely despise him and cannot wait for them to get knocked out.

 

[HialeahChico305]

Better hope for next round because I doubt the Denver will grant your wishes.

true he has had a phenomenal season like him or hate him.

in other news, gasol was a beast today.

and i bet suns and spurs go to game 7 and spurs pull it out, helluva 1st game they had.

It pissed my off when they pulled out Smith and Kleiza after they made up the deficit and got a 7 point lead. Then they put back in Carmelo and he blows it. Lakers do have pretty amazing ball movement.

 

[soxmuscle]

Yup, I called it.

Thank you, 76ers.

 

[natural^]

good for the 76ers, i'd like there to be at least one upset in the first round in the eastern div, cause i sure as hell know the celts will roll atlanta.

Carmelo got 30 something points but he was crap at the defensive end....Im with you with the Smith and Kleiza comment, they shouln't have been pulled out so early, smith was like the energizer bunny off the bench, while kleiza was making those 3 rain. George Karl is an idiot.

 

[soxmuscle]

How about Laker fans chanting "DUI" at Carmelo...

 

[soxmuscle]

Celtics dominate.

1 down.

 

[tucker01]

Raptors got the match up I wanted against Orlando..... but I still don't think they will pull it off

 

[natural^]

Celtics dominate.

1 down.

celts win eastern div., lakers win western(?)

 

[soxmuscle]

Thats what the NBA wants.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I want to see Cleveland sweep Washington, just to shut Washington the hell up.

 

[soxmuscle]

I want to see Cleveland sweep Washington, because the Wizards the superior team and I'd much rather play Cleveland in round 2 than Washington.

Washington has given the Celts fits all year...

 

[soxmuscle]

Raptors got the match up I wanted against Orlando..... but I still don't think they will pull it off

It doesn't look like Toronto has enough this year to compete with Orlando.

The future is bright though...

Toronto Star:
Raptors' big man Chris Bosh swung back at Stephen A. Smith after Smith compared Bosh to former NBAer Manute Bol on Friday, the Toronto Star is reporting.

Smith criticized Bosh for playing soft and being unable to lead his team to any significant level of success, but it was not this which irked the All-Star, it was bringing Bol's name into the criticism.

"If you have respect for someone, you expect that same respect back," Bosh said yesterday. "If you're a classless person like that, I mean, I guess that shows how you are, what kind of person you really are."

"If you criticize basketball, criticize the game, criticize the team but don't do anything personal."

So who exactly likes Steven A. Smith?

YouTube Video

The 2007 version is equally as funny.

 

[natural^]

not a fan of bosh or smith.

 

[tucker01]

Why not? Bosh is a class act.

Smith on the other hand is a douchebag.

 

[natural^]

idk, after the whole commercial to promote himself to to play in the allstars, idk some people got a kick, some people thought it was smart, i just think that if you're having to make a commercial to be in the allstars then you probably aren't ready, you dont see kobe and lebron doing a car commercial to vote for him. on the other hand, that was only one event, so i take back what i say, i guess. smith really is a douche though. only guy i like doing nba is michael wilbon, and thats not really alot of love.
