NBA Playoffs 2008

tell me about it!!! Jazz losses against Minnesota twice, the Knicks, and the Bobcats have cost them a possability at the top spot and homecourt advantage until the Finals. yep...you heard me, the T-wolves twice!

 

Whenever I go to LA I never meet somebody who doesn't support the Lakers. That is rare Joe. Very rare. I don't know how you do it.


Evil empire? It isn't our fault that we have won the 2nd most titles in the history of the NBA and have only missed the playoffs 5 times since our move to LA. We aren't like the Yankees and we actually try and do things the right way. I'm actually digging the evil empire title haha.




I'll have you know that I've supported these teams for over 10 years each. Since I was a little boy at the age of 8 or 9. It isn't my fault they turned out to be good teams to support. You're just jealous!

 

Yep, 3 of these teams are professional and 1 is amateur.

 

Now Barry, no need to be that harsh on Inter 8)

 

Nets are out, so am I.

 

good movie...agreed!

 

Prediction time now that the matchups are official...

East; ain't goona lie, probably will only see scores/highlights of the jv league so I'll go w/the top 4 seeds.

West; Lakers too much for enver (there is no D in the mile high city)
Hornets v Dallas; Mavs will exorcise playoff demons, that or Cuban will suffer a meltdown.
Jazz v Rockets; I'll take Utah, but the fact they are night & day when playing at home and the road, plus don't have home court...shaky pick
Spurs v Suns; Robert Horry will cheapshot Stoudamire in Game 5 (and not get punished), Shaq will put his size 17 sneaker 3 inches onto the court, get suspended for Game 6 (rules are rules) and the Champs will advance. In all seriousness until the Suns prove it there is no way I can pick against the Spurs.

 

Stanley cup playoffs -- Hurricanes stepped on a banana peel the last day of the season, so did I

 

Saw the last 5 minutes plus OTs of game 1 Suns/Spurs and its hard to believe one of these great teams in going home in the first round.

 

I thought Denver was at least supposed to challenge the Lakers. Guess I was wrong. Kobe sucks ass and we still win by a good margin. I'm already getting out the broom.


Magic tore up the Raptors. Yet another series where we might be able to get out the broom.


The Suns have nothing to fear. Duncan isn't gonna keep hitting 3's and they are still gonna win the series.

Stephenson was right, Lebron is overrated. As long as the Wizards take the next game, they still win the series.


I could care less about every other series.

 

Lebron is prince James. Yes, I'm using a Skip Bayless word here. He's not as good as Bryant,Duncan,Garnett. He's not one of the top 2 players in the league.


I never said the Spurs were overrated. I said they were not gonna win the series.

 

Hittin' the sauce on a Sunday night, Don??

Dude is dropping f-bombs and getting wrapped around the axle about......basketball??? Isn't there like two more months left in the season? And Celtics-Lakers final?? That is just crazy talk. Celtics haven't been any good since Bird left, and Lakers were okay back in the Abdul Jabbar days, but both of those teams are cellar dwellers now.....or at least were the last time I watched a complete highlight of an NBA game.

 

You really should check out a highlight more than once a year to stay current. LA and Boston are the favorites to win their respective conferences although any team in the west is capable of winning.

 

Yeah, right. Next you are going to tell me that the Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets, both past their haydays, are in the playoffs....

 

Tipped a few glasses of Zinfadel myself. If anyone is looking for an inexpensive but tasty red wine, that goes quite well a pasta bolognese (house was filled with a wonderful aroma the latter half of this past Sunday), I can recommend Dancing Bull. Also seemed to correspond quite nicely with my posts on this thread.
