NBA Playoffs Thread

[Gatspy]

So here is what i'm going with this year.

[Skippa]

Gats, I agree with your picks up to the Western Conference Finals...I think LA will come out and we'll have an NBA finals that's been a few years in the making

[Mr. Yungnfresh]

I agree Skippa. If Lebron has been as dominant as we've seen him be in just the regular season and first couple rounds of past playoffs (basically showing he'll score when he wants, how he wants, and the defense is powerless to become anything but spectators), I can't wait to see how dominant he becomes in the Finals when the ring is on the line and he actually has a competent supporting cast that's as good as any in the league.

Fuck Lebron, will see what Kobe says about this ring.

Skippa,


I like the Cavs against any one in the finals. I think they finally have complete talented team all around and very deep one as well. I think the addition of Parker, Jamison and Shaq made huge difference in that team. The only challenge for them will be the Magic.

I think the Fakers can be beat by the Nuggets this time around with Bynum being questionable. They need relatively healthy Martin to make it count. I think SA is ad team to figure out with Parker in the lineup. I still like Dallas in that march up though. The second round match up of Phoenix vs. Dallas will be very interesting. Miami Heat facing the aging Celtics is the dark horse here in the first round.

Yes bro, the expection is for the Cavs to win. I think they'll come up on top in June but it won't be easy. Orlando Vs Cavs would be a wicked matchup...Orlando has a chance if they go inside to Dwight Howard more often than they did last year.

The Raptors are friggin idiots. They're gonna be screwed for a long time. The constantly give out big contracts for nothing. Hedo was a complete bust. He can't defend, and if He is not the Point Guard, He is useless. This Guy cannot score off the dribble, and His whole game is based on bringing the ball up and using the pick and role. In Isolation situations He's useless and cannot explode to get His own shot. Bosh is a good player but not great, but caproom wise the Raps are screwed.


Btw, I am predicting a Sanantonio upset of the Mavs, and for the Heat to beat the celtics

They get Vince this year

[Gatspy]

Skippa.. I'm even giving the Lakers the benefit of a doubt to get to the western finals. I really think their success depends on how well Gasol plays, meaning the Nuggets can actually eliminate them. I also fear for the Magic in the second round against the Hawks. Vince is the most inconsistent player in the league and can really hurt the Magic.

[grandpakhalif]

Will Shaq play well this afternoon? Will Chicago be sweeped?
Watch ABC's quadruple games tonight

[TATI]

watching the BULLS GAME!!!!!

[Murax]

Caron Butler is Balling

Btw, I'm rooting for the Spurs to beat Dallas, but Dallas just has their number every year. They nave too many weapons, and Duncan Has to do everything for the Spurs. As for Ginobli this nicca got no right hand, if You just sit on His left Hand on every pick and roll, He Has nothing. I also don't know what happened to Tony Parker, His game fell off big time. Still though the Mavs will not get past the Lakers, but seeing them against Denver will be interesting

[Gatspy]

This Nuggets/Jazz series is turning out to be pretty good. Tonight's game 2 was a stellar.

[Murax]

Gatsby,

Yea Man. Still though the Refs should start giving Carmelo superstar treatment, He's earned it. They call too many BS calls on Him. Yea, this is a nice evenly matched series along with the Portland/Phoinex. That Denver/Utah can go either way, but I still got money on the Nuggets easily. The Jazz Had to put their balls on the table just to get this win, I don't see them doing it 3 more times. Another good series I like is Miami/Boston.One team is up and coming and the other is over the hill and about to collapse.

As far as Deron WIlliams, best PG in the league by far.

[grandpakhalif]

Mavericks are taking spurs as a joke, they underestimated Tim Duncan because of his seniority, they are lucky Dirk Nowitizki is playing so well, or else they would've lost.
