NBA Playoffs
 

Really don't know what to make of it this year. I liked the Celtics before KG went down.

GO MAVS

Go bulls

While I love Cleveland and think Lebron is amazing (who doesn't?), I think that the Lakers are too good and too deep this year for the Cavs to stand a chance. I think both the Lakers and Cavs blow through their conference and the Lakers win in 7. I hope not because bron bron is bye bye if he doesn't get a ring, and that will mean I yet again have no legitimate sports team to root for :-(

Lakers will win it.

dont count out the nuggets in the west:thumbsup:

Celts nearly went down 0-2 tonight. They may not get out of the first round.

How bout them Bulls huh? =]

Derrick Rose is going to be something great.

they wont get out of 1st round

I agree, but they are playin on another level right now. Esp Rose, he rose (no pun intended) to the occasion for sure this year in the playoffs, Gordon playing well too.

i know they wont get out of the first round.. but being a Bulls fan, i gota keep my hopes up. winner of game 5 wins the series.

id love to see cavs knock out the lakers

What in the hell happened to the Hornets?

nothing. they're just horrible. nuggets are sending a message to the lakers. :)

i wish gordon hit that shot at the end of regulation... -_-

Brad Miller - Purdue guy

ugh, tough spot

Choker is the word. See Derrick Rose for another example.

He definately choked, but that should have been a flagrant. Ronod didn't even go for the ball and just slapped Miller in the face. Doesn't really matter though, Celtics should have won the series already.

Dont know if any of you are following the ATLvs Mia series But it has been a good one Game 5 tonight.

Yes, let's turn all our sports into girly games.

Rondo's play was a winner's play, in the finest Celtic tradition.

I like how James Worthy pushes his own teammate, causing him to fall onto the courtside reporters

If Miller did it to Rondo it would have been a flagrant no doubt.

Only because Miller doing it to Rondo would cause Rondo to fly about a mile and it would look worse than it really was, just as Rondo doing it to Miller made it look not as bad as it really was.

The refs have to make the call in real time. A flagrant with seconds left in an OT is a disgrace.

There's an old saying. "All's fair in love, war, and the last 10 seconds of an NBA game." ;)

Yeah, but Worthy keeps Rambis in the game. If not for that push, Rambis starts throwing punches.

wowww whata game 6... joahkim noah's dunk was so perfect... Go Bulls !!!

That was a great play by Noah. I've heard people now calling this the greatest playoff series in NBA history... really? Discuss.

ok maybe not the greatest playoff series in history... but definitely one of the best first round series in history. especially since it's between a 2 n 7 seed. its been a very exciting series, overtime after overtime... very entertaining. hopefully bulls can pull it off in game 7 =]

Look for the kid from OSU to come up big tonight. Beasley is amazing and Wade is going to need help tonight.

heat will win tonite... but i think the hawks will win game 7... but i rather see the heat win in 7 so we can see lebron vs wade.

Celtics should've closed it out in regulation. Then came Tony Allen time :mad:.

With all the talk of the players on this year's team who are out, few are mentioning how much they miss James Posey right now.

Mavs > Rockets in WCF!!!!!!!

Coulda told everyone last year that was gonna bite you in the ass. Learning the same lesson the Heat did.

Re: Best series ever... Abso-fuckin-lootly not. Bulls play shitty defense, as the Celtics are guilty of too, and the whole series was a game of horse. For fuck sakes, how many times did Ray Allen get open, AT THE END OF THE GAME. This was two mediocre teams playing a glorified series of pickup games.

The Hawks are my boys, and I am so excited that we might get to the second round, but please God don't make me watch their offense again next year. Fire Mike Woodson and lets move on. Even though I have never drawn up a basketball play in my life, I felt like I was qualified watching them play. It's turrible. And Barkley says it EVERY time they cover them, for good reason. I'm scared of what would happen to Atlanta if we play the Cavs. Either we figure out a way to run constantly, or it is going to get ugly. Fast. Anyone catch that the Heat were upset that JSmoove tried a dunk in a blowout game? QQ more please. Shut the fuck up and be in the game so you don't get dunked on. Not to mention, 30 out of 40k fans show up to NBA games to see dunks....seriously, people are such boohooers these days. Put up or shut up.

I do love the playoffs, and I can't wait to see the Nuggets vs. the Lakers.

i wish the bulls won game 7 -_-
i dno who to root for now

I'm so happy the lakers lost tonight. :)

just bought a yao jersey

it will make me so happy to see the magic crush the celtics tonight.

How'd that work out for you?

Regardless of how these playoffs end up, Rondo's gorilla slam over Dwight Howard will have me smiling all spring. :D

Almost as much as in the finals last year when Pau Gasol had to change an 8 ft jumper to a pass because Rondo was going to put it back in his face.

Can Chris Paul do either of those things? The only thing Chris Paul does better than Rondo is shoot. In fact, would Chris Paul have the stones to clothesline "Slimy" Miller?

anyone know why the denver dallas series had such a big break between game 2 n 3? game 2 was tuesday, may 5... game 3 is saturday, may 9.

He would of punched him in the nuts. Also you most likely shoot better than Rondo.

That DEN/DAL game was bullshit. What self respecting professional referee isn't expecting a team to foul in that situation? So not only did they miss the call, they weren't prepared for what happens 80% of the time in that situation. I mean why they hell do you think a defender watches someone take a shot at the end of the game? OH...maybe because he slapped the wrist hard enough that his guy fumbles the ball...gonna cost me money now because the refs fucked it up.

OH well nice season Hawks:cheers:

I certainly have better technique. ;)

Which teams win game 7 tomorrow?

Hopefully Rockets and Magic.

I hope the rockets and Celtics win. easier road for the cavs. But i think Lakers and Celtics will pull it out at home.

-_-... the lakers did it again... pretty pissed off :mad:

yesss =]

im so happy the nuggets pulled it out in game2... now i can sleep tonite =D

is like six blatant missed/terrible officiating calls per game standard in NBA playoffs?

Pretty much. To the Refs' defense, it is the most problematic game to officiate. Moves too fast in a confined space, even with 3 refs they can't be looking everywhere all the time.

The hardest call in all of sports is block/charge.

It would even be difficult if they stopped play for every potential block/charge and used instant replay.
