Or as I like it to call it. "The Time Of The Year Sunrise Loses It".

Talk amongst yer selves. Just remember you fans of the east. Once the Bulls make it to the Finals. Don't say I didn't tell you.:o

[Fran]

Playodd? :huh::o

[DOG LIPS]

fran's face is a Playodd! :cmad:

[Fran]

Your mom's a playodd. :o

[Ghostvirus]

DOG LIPS CAN YOU CHANGE THAT PLEASE!:cmad: I can't read!!!

[Prognosticator]

[JimMora:wow:] "Playodds? ...PLAYODDS!? Are you kidding me, Playodds!" [/JimMora:cmad:]

[Fran]

Could you change the thread to:

"Official NBA Playoff Pool Thread"?

[Prognosticator]

I just can't wait till the NBA Dinals! :up:

[Fran]

Joey Crawford-free :up::up:

So I'm gonna host the pool in here.

[Immortalfire]

Prove 'em wrong, fran.

[Fran]

It would be awesome if I won two pools out of the three I've hosted. :up:

[DarthRekal]

It would be awesome if I won two pools out of the three I've hosted. :up:
that would be suspicious:ninja:

[Ghostvirus]

It would be awesome if I won two pools out of the three I've hosted. :up:

Not gonna happen. I have been waiting all year for this. My time to shine!:cmad:

that would be suspicious:ninja:

Suspicious indeed.:ninja:

[Fran]

One point per correct statistic in Round 1. Two for round 2, etc.

[Ghostvirus]

One point per correct statistic in Round 1. Two for round 2, etc.

statistics? Whaaa...?

[Fran]

Things I'm requesting for Rounds 1 and 2 at least:
-Winner
-# of games
-Winner per game in each series

[Ghostvirus]

Yeah, I think everybody got that. The Statistic part threw me a little. I was thinking that you wanted statistics for each player each game. That would be just crazy.

[Fran]

No.

So is LS1981 playing or not?

[Ghostvirus]

I would assume no. He has been asked several times.

[Fran]

He's an idiot then. :)

I'm making him stay in this, but I'll just have it to where the Mavs sweep every series. I'm sure he'd think that SHOULD happen anyways. :)

[Ghostrider87]

I believe that the Bulls are going to make it in the second round this year. I think that if the Spurs are going to beat Mavericks in the playoffs should they play each other.

[DarthRekal]

Current Seedings:


Eastern Conference

8) Orlando Magic @ 1) Detroit Pistons

[amazingfantasy15]

When do the playoffs start? When is the Bulls first game? ESPN isn't giving me any info, Eastern Conference is set, they should at least have that schedule ready.

[DarthRekal]

So when is Sunrise suppose to lose it?:huh: I have yet to see him post.

I am sure it's a little early to say the Bulls will be making it to the Finals. Although I do see them getting past the first round.

[DarthRekal]

Who knew the East would be tossed up... West stays the same

[DarthRekal]

fran how does the winner per game work? can we wait for each game to pick the winner? or we have to predict all games now?

for example if i pick detroit in 5 do i have to say orlando wins game 3 or what?

[Mister J]

I like the way the seeds panned out. Nets/Raptors is a plus since I didn't plan on watching either of them in the series they had matched up coming into today.

[NewYorkSpider]

I think thats what he meant.

[DarthRekal]

SO DO I!!!!!.. the BULLS comin for the HEAT NOW!:cmad: :woot:

[Mister J]

I like what Zo said earlier this week about Hinrich's comments, "be careful of what you wish for". It's been a long season, but the band is back together. Time to get to it.

[Ben Urich]

Why isn't this in the NBA thread? :huh:
Anyway, the Magic closed out the season on a four-game winning streak. :yay::up:

[Assassin]

Detroit in 5 games, and Ben, go to LSP. 15 min time.

[DarthRekal]

Why isn't this in the NBA thread? :huh:
Anyway, the Magic closed out the season on a four-game winning streak. :yay::up:
i'm glad i'm not the only one that noticed that... the NHL thread was broken up too.... why have the season threads if it doesnt include the postseason..oh well....

fran answer my question..

and EFF ZO:cmad: ..lol i kid

[The Riddler]

my early UNOFFICIAL picks:

Eastern Conference

1) Detroit Pistons def. 8) Orlando Magic
2) Cleveland Cavaliers def. 7) Washington Wizards
6) New Jersey Nets def. 3) Toronto Raptors
4) Miami Heat def. 5) Chicago Bulls

Western Conference

8) Golden State Warriors def. 1) Dallas Mavericks
7) Los Angeles Lakers def. 2) Phoenix Suns
3) San Antonio Spurs def. 6) Denver Nuggets
5) Houston Rockets def. 4) Utah Jazz

btw, rockets are 5th seed, not 4th. they just have homecourt advantage because of their better record.

[DarthRekal]

my bad riddler i did most of them from memory.. and didnt even realize that..LOL.. why have a fourth seed then..mr stern is retarded:ninja:

WAIT!.. does that mean chi-town gets HOME COURT????!

edit: YUP SURE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!


and you go the Lakers def the SUNS?:wow: :up:

[The Riddler]

yeah, this is early, but i really think the top two teams in the west are gonna have a lot of TROUBLE.

[Mister J]

Whoa! Ridd going with two huge upsets right off the bat! :wow: :D

I think the Lakers are in too much disarray to put up much of a fight against Phoenix, but Mavs/Warriors should be fun. How has GS managed to win 5 straight over Dallas? :confused:

[Ghostvirus]

I like what Zo said earlier this week about Hinrich's comments, "be careful of what you wish for". It's been a long season, but the band is back together. Time to get to it.

:whatever:

I was actually hoping for this to. If you really think the Heat are just going roll in, & win you got another thing coming. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls swept them.

I hate to break this to you J. The Heat are just to damn old. Even if they do get past Chicago. They aren't beating Detroit.

[The Riddler]

really, the lakers match up well with the suns.

i especially like farmar starting in place of smush.

as for the warriors, they are going to put up points no matter who they play against. they beat the mavs by overhwhelming dirk with multiple speedy defenders and putting up an insane amount of points.

the warriors offense is so good right now, they can potentially outgun the suns if they play at their best. if it ever gets to that, that is.

We'll see.

So you were hoping for Chicago to get slated into a spot where they'll have to go through Miami and then Detroit, instead of them starting off with Washington, having homecourt for at least the first two rounds and not having to see the Pistons, Heat or Cavs until the ECF? OK.

Farmar should have gotten the nod much earlier and Smush should have been playing for the D-Fenders. I don't see Parker faring much better than he did in last year's playoffs and Farmar could have used the experience to get ready to better contribute.

i can't see the bulls sweeping anyone.

however, the heat won't have an easy series. i think it goes to 6.

i dont see the warriors.. and you pretty much right about the lakes j... but call me biased... if..thats a big IF we runnin on all cylinders... i think we can take the suns..it all depends on which team shows up...



also with the sudden change in homecourt i think i had doubts before but now i really think the BULLS can knock out the Heat:woot:

[The Riddler]

the rockets are still my pick to win it all.

[DarthRekal]

Farmar should have gotten the nod much earlier and Smush should have been playing for the D-Fenders. I don't see Parker faring much better than he did in last year's playoffs and Farmar could have used the experience to get ready to better contribute.
we gonna have a GM position avail soon J..want it?


i totally agree with this

I'm glad this match up has happened, actually I want Dallas playing all the teams everyone is nervous about. This is goona be fun.

[DarthRekal]

the rockets are still my pick to win it all.
i think TMACfinally makes it out the second round... i think thats where it stops though..PHX DALLAS AND SPURS are all deeper.

[The Riddler]

dallas is gonna have a hard time.

if they win, and there are no upsets, they're set to face the rockets or jazz.

[Ghostvirus]

i can't see the bulls sweeping anyone.

however, the heat won't have an easy series. i think it goes to 6.

We shall see. I have been saying it all year, & I will say it again. The Bulls, & Suns are my pick in ship.

However, I didn't think the Bulls would have to face both Miami, & Detroit. It will be interesting indeed.

[The Riddler]

i think TMACfinally makes it out the second round... i think thats where it stops though..PHX DALLAS AND SPURS are all deeper.
reasons why the rockets can win it all.

1. team defense
2. half court style + slower pace
3. two super star mold plus good supporting players (battier, luther head, mutumbo, howard)
4. yao ming = matchup problems

as good as mcgrady is, yao is the rockets' mvp. he alone poses a defensive mismatch. double or triple team him and leave shooters open, or single cover him and get burned by him.

i really favor teams with dominant big men because of what they do to defenses.

[Mister J]

we gonna have a GM position avail soon J..want it?


i totally agree with this
Seriously, why has it taken this long for Farmar to crack the starting 5. This man was a freak at the pre-draft mini camps, seemed to be picking up everything well and they just let him drift. Parker's been inconsistent at best, then starts slacking and *****ing to Phil and now they throw the kid into the fire for the playoff push. It's the right decision, but doing it weeks ago would have everything for the better, especially since Farmar is a far better playmaker than Smush.

God, Parker mouthed off after a loss on how he had a good game despite the L and still had fun. I wanted to smack him. You wear the purple and gold, son. Look up in the rafters and have some respect. :whatever:

the bulls to be in the finals?

it's near impossible because they don't have a couple things.

1. no closer. yeah, ben gordon is the closest thing they have to a closer, but he can't do it consistently. sometimes he's hot, sometimes he doesn't show up at all. that can't happen if you're going to the finals.

2. no offensive inside prescence. ben wallace is a good defender, but he's declined overall and he can't score. the bulls are primarily a jump shooting team, and enless you're on all the time, it's very difficult.

[DarthRekal]

wrong... when Yao went down ..TMAC carried the team.... when TMAC went down Yao COULDNT.. tmac is key..... and you better thank god yall dont play the Lakes cause Kobe loves Lockin TMAC and DUNKIN on Yao...


but you do have valid points.... EXCLLENT POINTS.. thing is ... DEPTH wins ships.... SA and DAL can throw a couple big men at yao and get him in foul trouble..have good defneders to annoy TMAC.. you will have to rely on your role players and honestly though its a nice squad.... i wouldnt put my trust in those guys.. and PHX will just run yall ragged

G DAMNIT! J i just got a Man crush on YOU!:wow:


you are so damn on point here... Phil jacked up ...Farmar shoulda been startin after the All Star break.... god it pisses me off:cmad:


you know i gotta say something good about the Heat now dont ya???? I owe ya!:word:

mcgrady is definitely a better playmaker (since he's a guard/forward) and more valuable when having to carry a team by himself, but yao has the bigger impact when they're both healthy because he draws so much defensive attention.

as for the suns, the teams probably won't meet enless it's in the WCF.

depth is the rocket's biggest weakness, but they have to rely on their two stars to make up for that. it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

My Predictions


Eastern Conference

8) Orlando Magic @ 1) Detroit Pistons - Pistons in 4
7) Washington Wizards @ 2) Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavaliers in 5
6) New Jersey Nets @ 3) Toronto Raptors - Nets in 7
4) Miami Heat @ 5) Chicago Bulls - Bulls in 7

Western Conference

8) Golden State Warriors @ 1) Dallas Mavericks - Mavericks in 5
7) Los Angeles Lakers @ 2) Phoenix Suns - Suns in 5
6) Denver Nuggets @ 3) San Antonio Spurs - Spurs in 6
4) Utah Jazz @ 5) Houston Rockets - Rockets in 6

* I'd like to add three notes...

a) I really think the Magic can win one game .. I just noticed I didn't have any sweeps and someone ALWAYS sweeps so I picked the one I thought had the best chance.
b) I think Wade doesnt play as well as they need him to or (I really hope not for J's sake, but I got an inclining) that he somehow will not be up to par.
c) My HEART PICK is Lakers in 7 :woot:

[Ben Urich]

If the Magic win a game, I hope to god it's the one I'm at. :up:
I really think J.J. Redick could be of use in this series. :up:

Note: I made my picks before i read this

[DarthRekal]

BH!?!? Post yer Warriors shenanigans here :woot: :cwink:

[Fran]

Damnit, haven't you heard of work?!?! :o :)

HERE ARE THE STATISTICS I NEED VIA PM IF YOU WANT IN ON THE POOL:
-For EACH Round 1 Game:
--Winner of series
--Number of games
--Winner per game in series.

For Ex. I pick Detroit in four. DET DET DET DET. :up:

[DarthRekal]

it's gonna be hard to pick WHICH game every team wins ..isnt it?:huh:

i mean if you pick suns in 5 lakers can win game 1-5 you have a slim chance of gettin it right.. shouldnt we wait for each specific game to decide whos gonna win that night... ummm nvrmind i guess yer right

[Fran]

Then what's the point of the playoff pool without some wild guesses? :hyper:

[DarthRekal]

My Predictions


Eastern Conference

8) Orlando Magic @ 1) Detroit Pistons - Pistons in 4
( DET, DET, DET, DET)
7) Washington Wizards @ 2) Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavaliers in 5
( CLE, CLE, WAS, CLE, CLE)
6) New Jersey Nets @ 3) Toronto Raptors - Nets in 7
( TOR, TOR, NJ, NJ, TOR, NJ, NJ)
4) Miami Heat @ 5) Chicago Bulls - Bulls in 7

(SAS, SAS, DEN, DEN, SAS, SAS)
4) Utah Jazz @ 5) Houston Rockets - Rockets in 6
(HOU, HOU, UTA, UTA, HOU, HOU)

c) My HEART PICK is Lakers in 7 :woot:



Yeah that whole pick per game is HARD!.. whats the point system again??? it shouldnt be too much a penalty for picking the individual games wrong fran

[Fran]

1 point per correct pick for round 1, 2 for round 2, etc.

[Ghostvirus]

My Predictions

Eastern Conference

8) Orlando Magic @ 1) Detroit Pistons - Pistons in 5
( DET, DET, ORL, DET, DET)

I think giving Orlando a game is quite generous.

7) Washington Wizards @ 2) Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavaliers in 4
( CLE, CLE, CLE, CLE)

Lets face it. If Butler, & Zero would have gone out earlier they wouldn't even be in the playoffs. Get out the broom stick washuptington.

6) New Jersey Nets @ 3) Toronto Raptors - Nets in 5
( NJ, TOR, NJ, NJ, NJ )

XP points will win this series.

4) Miami Heat @ 5) Chicago Bulls - Bulls in 6
(CHI, CHI, MIA, MIAMI, CHI, CHI)

As scared of Miami as I should be. I really am not. Maybe I will be near the end of the series.

Western Conference

8) Golden State Warriors @ 1) Dallas Mavericks - WARRIORS in 7
(DAL, GS, GS, GS, DAL, DAL, GS)

My spidey senses are tingling with an upset in this series. All logic says not to pick the Warriors. I just can't stop the funny feeling though.

7) Los Angeles Lakers @ 2) Phoenix Suns - Suns in 5
(PHX, PHX, LAL, PHX, PHX)

Sorry Rekal, but giving LA one game is generous. LA just seems tore up.

6) Denver Nuggets @ 3) San Antonio Spurs - Spurs in 5
(SAS, SAS, DEN, SAS, SAS)

I really have nothing to say here. I really don't care about either of these teams.

4) Utah Jazz @ 5) Houston Rockets - ROCKETS in 6
(HOU, HOU, UTA, HOU, UTAH, HOU)

I picked Houston, but I wouldn't be surprised to see UTAH win it.

[DarthRekal]

7) Los Angeles Lakers @ 2) Phoenix Suns - Suns in 5
(PHX, PHX, LAL, PHX, PHX)

Sorry Rekal, but giving LA one game is generous. LA just seems tore up.
.


no worries bro..i picked the same way.. i just dont see kobe going out without EXPLODING in one game..thats why i gave them one...PHX is playin good ball and now has an inside presence with amare and kurt..
Kwame is banged up and Bynum is pretty much mental garbage... our chances inside rest on Rony and Cook...which looks meek... our only hope is that Farmar finds his own RIGHT NOW... thats the only way we contend... I just dont see it..I'm a RABID Lakers fans as all y'all know... but I keep it real too

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ahhhhh, feels great to be able to activley participate in post season chat that will direclty concern my team:D :up:

welcome to the dance BH!... you deserve it.. sept you brought the ugliest date.. it's gonna be hard to stay in the building :up:


Yeah...but I just look at it this way.

Nothing to lose and out of all the teams in the West, so far we've given the Mavs the most trouble, dating back to last year. Last five games against them. 5-0.

I know the playoffs are a different story, but everyone on the Warriors is 100% healthy so we're if we go down, we're making sure the Mavs are burnt out.

My only concern about the Warriors, they live and die by the three, if it's not there, we're done.

[Fran]

It can happen. :confused:

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Eastern Conference

1. Pistons vs. 8. Magic Pistons 4-1
2. Cavs vs. 7. Wiz Cavs 4-0
3. Raps vs. 6. Nets Nets 4-3
4. Heat vs. 5. Bulls Heat 4-2

Western Conference
1. Mavs vs 8. Warriors Warriors 4-2
2. Suns vs. 7. Lakers Suns 4-2
3. Spurs vs. 6. Nuggets Spurs 4--0
4. Jazz vs. 5. Rockets Rockets 4-3 I think by far this is the closest match up in all of the playoffs. Rockets have been playing well and seem really healthy, the Jazz have stumbled a bit but have an excellent coach and all around a pretty deep team. Good series right here, it could go either way imho.

[R_3]

It seems most feel Nets will win against the Raps. I wouldv'e prefered if Raptors played Wizards in the first round but I'm going to say that the Raptors beat the Nets in 7. This season was split 2-2 between them, each winning at home. I think the same will occur in this playoff series.

[DarthRekal]

r 3? wana be in the pool?



BH!... fran wants a break down of the games... what ou have is good..just need to breakdown which team wins which individual game

i'm taking huge risks in these picks. if i had money on the picks, i'm sure i'd pick less upsets, but since this is for fun, i'm going out on the limb and going with the underdogs. i'm almost certain the suns will win their series, but it is what it is.

Magic vs. Pistons - Pistons in 5 ( DET, DET, ORL, DET, DET)
Wizards vs.Cavaliers - Cavaliers in 4 ( CLE, CLE, CLE, CLE)
Nets vs.Raptors - Nets in 7 (TOR, NJ, NJ, TOR, TOR, NJ, NJ)
Heat vs. Bulls - Heat in 6 (CHI, CHI, MIA, MIA, MIA, MIA)

Western Conference

Warriors vs.Mavericks - Mavericks in 4 (DAL, DAL, DAL, DAL)
Lakers vs. Suns - Suns in 6 (PHX, LAL, LAL, PHX, PHX, PHX)
Nuggets vs. Spurs - Spurs in 5 (SAS, SAS, DEN, SAS, SAS)
Jazz vs.Rockets - Rockets in 6 (HOU, HOU, UTA, UTA, HOU, HOU)

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Eastern Conference

1. Pistons vs. 8. Magic Pistons 4-1 D D D O D
2. Cavs vs. 7. Wiz Cavs 4-0 C C C C
3. Raps vs. 6. Nets Nets 4-3 T T NJ NJ NJ T NJ
4. Heat vs. 5. Bulls Heat 4-2 M C M C M M

Western Conference

1. Mavs vs 8. Warriors Warriors 4-2 D GS GS D GS GS
2. Suns vs. 7. Lakers Suns 4-2 P P LA P LA P
3. Spurs vs. 6. Nuggets Spurs 4--0 SA SA SA SA
4. Jazz vs. 5. Rockets Rockets 4-3 H H U U H U H

I think by far this is the closest match up in all of the playoffs. Rockets have been playing well and seem really healthy, the Jazz have stumbled a bit but have an excellent coach and all around a pretty deep team. Good series right here, it could go either way imho.

Due ASAP. Before first game... but if I see your picks were submitted a little after the game started, or even at halftime, it's fine.

[The Riddler]

do we have to make our finals pick now?

i don't know who comes out of the east to lose to the rockets. :o

[Fran]

Nope, we go round-by-round.

Nope, we go round-by-round.
Its always better to make your finals picks before the playoff starts, just like in football.

I went to the Mavs and Warriors game last night and they freakin lost:cmad: But it was fun screaming from the top my lungs and getting hoarse all the way up in the nosebleed section:o, atleast the cheerleaders were hot:wow:

My lucky bro got to take a pic with two them at the prep rally.

I would be lying if I said I knew the Warriors were going to win. Of course I was rooting for them the whole time but I just thought that Dallas was going to say f-this. We are making a statement right here right now, this is the playoffs not the regular season. Hello reality check to the Warriors.

But apparently the Warriors didn't get that memo. :D

[DarthRekal]

BH!.. your dudes!?!?!?!:wow: nice!!!!!!!!!


and denver too ..startin to look scary


imy boys on the other hand:cmad: :csad: lookin like they did during the regular season NOT closing out games:cmad: ... Kobe when the shots are going down ...PASS THE DAMN BALL!:cmad:



at least im in 4 ... man quality upsets by the warriors and nuggets good job guys...the magic on the other hand look outmatched..poor ben:csad:

[Ghostvirus]

I hope this stops the Dirk is MVP crap! That man isn't a leader, & no the team isn't better because he is on it. Nash, or Kobe for MVP nuff said.

I love all this trash talking Shaq is doing. He knows the Bulls have there number, & he is trying minds games. The only thing is Skiles knows Shaq all to well. I just really wish the Bulls didn't have to face Detroit next. I just don't know if they will have what it takes to beat both these teams.

GOD I HOPE THE WARRIORS SEND THE MAVS HOME!!! THAT WOULD MAKE MY YEAR.

[DarthRekal]

i dunno MC .. your boys gotta play better than they did in game one.. sure they won .. but it was closer than it had to be... shaq and wade were in foul trouble and MIAMI wasnt NEARLY playin their A game.... i know you guys werent completely ON either .. im just sayin miami aint goin down quietly and bet the big fella gonna be on a tear in game two .. i seen it happen too many times

[Fran]

Joey Crawford for MVP.

I agree to...sort of. For some reason I just don't see the Heat as a threat. I just look at them as a retirement home for old ass NBA players. All the players on that team used to be great at one time, but there time has passed, & the only one that is young, & could remotely help them is still recovering.

I just don't see this series as being all that some are making it out to be. If the Bulls were to lose this series I would be greatly dissappointed, because the Heat are not the better team this year.

[Fran]

Wade isn't what he was in the playoffs last year...

I noticed the Under Armour arm sleeve.

D-day for the Lake Show today.... its a must win in my eyes:csad: :cmad:

[Mister J]

How hot are the Warriors now? My sources in Hollywood tell me reliably that Jessica Alba has requested a ticket for Sunday's Game 4 in Oakland. Yes: I'm well aware that Alba and Baron Davis are longtime pals. But I'll go out on a limb and say that it's still a rather momentous occasion when an actress of Alba's hotness, er, stature, wants to fly in for a courtside seat.
:huh:

Oh yeah, go Heatians. :up:

[DarthRekal]

Uh oh for the mavs... Albas hotness is gonna rub off

[Fran]

Alba sucks.

[Mister J]

Of course she does. You don't think B. Davis is coming off that courtside seat just to be nice, do you? :o HIYOOOOO!

Kevin Harlan should be required to call each and every Suns game. He is a treasure.

Don't Get Cocky Kid.:dry:

Believe me I'm not, the Bulls still have to prove they can win on the road in the playoffs. But right now the best move Paxson has made was not trading Deng when seemingly everyone was saying he should. He was the go-to guy in the late 3rd and early 4th quarters when Miami looked like they were going to make a huge run and take the lead. I believe at one point he scored the Bull's last 14 points or something like that. I'm not saying the series is over, just that without Deng, who knows where the Bulls would be.

That's cool. :word: Its too early to give up on the Lakers now (although its really hard to watch them in tonight's game)! As long as Kobe is healthy enough to play, the Lakers has a chance to win any game, even this game. However, the lakers needs to play defense.

Yeah thats why i think we win ONE game at the MOST... cause of Kobe...

you can pretty much count us out... they runnin us ragged and we playin the same switch d...

Goodness. The boys got it handed to them tonight. Damn lack of intensity in the 3rd quarter did it again. They just got flat out-hustled. I'm starting to remember why we ran Eddie Jones out of town a few years back.

Chicago did a damn fine job of holding home court and now Miami has to do the same. Posey needs to start and Kapono needs to get the lion's share of minutes at the 3 behind that. I'd like to see Dorell get some spot minutes (though it won't happen). He won't give much offense, but the boy can rebound and play D and we need it, big time).

This team always seems to find a way to be quality ball when backed into a corner. Time to channel it again.

Let's go Heat!

I was pissed at first, then I looked at it as the Bulls have at least a top ten pick in the draft this year. So basically by the start of next season we will have at least Garnett, or Gasol. Gauranteed.

I wonder when James "Thug" Posey pulls his next attack on the Bulls. I thought it might come last night out of frustration. But that "flagrant" fould that was called on Brown was bull****. He hardly breathed on Posey and he goes flying. I know what some people say ("some people" read as Heat fans) "Oh he just plays hard, thats the way to play."

Well Noicioni plays hard too, but he isn't out there breaking noses, throwing elbows or trying to take Kirk Hinrich's head off on a fast break.

Just wanted to share my joy at the news of Sonics' head coach getting the axe! Hehehe! :up:

Next to go... Mike Hargrove! *fingers crossed*

[Ben Urich]

Are you still going to be a Sonics fan when they move to Oklahoma City, Bella? :csad:

[DarthRekal]

good question ben... my condolences bella.. theres always room on OUR bandwagon:cwink: except after this year .. we prolly can downsize the wagon:csad:

[Johnny Drama]

What happened to Shaq and Wade last night???
Hahaha, I have hight hopes for the bulls this year. We'll see.

[DBella]

Are you still going to be a Sonics fan when they move to Oklahoma City, Bella? :csad:
"When"? Is it already confirmed they'll be leaving WA?
To answer your question, Yes. I'm stupidly loyal that way. :csad:

good question ben... my condolences bella.. theres always room on OUR bandwagon:cwink: except after this year .. we prolly can downsize the wagon:csad:
Thanks for the condolonces but they're not dead! Yet.
If I'm jumping on any bandwagon, I'll be jumping on the Knicks and/or Mavs.

[Jerry!]

What happened to Shaq and Wade last night???
Hahaha, I have hight hopes for the bulls this year. We'll see.

Kirk Hinrich is underrated as a defensive player, and Thabo is coming onto his own defensively too and made a few clutch jumpers in both games. If the Bulls have a good shooting night, they can beat anyone. They have probably the best pure team right now. Not best players, best pure team.

[Fran]

Apparently the NBA executives voted Nowitzki as their MVP.

[L.A.]

Not doing points tonight. Kthxbi
Where's the updated pool points!!!

[Fran]

Once I'm done with dinner, I'll do the pool. It'll be another half hour or so.

Calm down.

[DarthRekal]

Yep. The Bulls are not only one big man away from being a contender. They are one big man away from being very, very scary. Mr likey:woot:

I wonder when James "Thug" Posey pulls his next attack on the Bulls. I thought it might come last night out of frustration. But that "flagrant" fould that was called on Brown was bull****. He hardly breathed on Posey and he goes flying. I know what some people say ("some people" read as Heat fans) "Oh he just plays hard, thats the way to play."



Well Noicioni plays hard too, but he isn't out there breaking noses, throwing elbows or trying to take Kirk Hinrich's head off on a fast break.

He has it has just been a little more subtle this year. Posey is a punk b**ch. I have dubbed him the Ric Flair of the NBA.:o

Apparently the NBA executives voted Nowitzki as their MVP.

:whatever: Now I really hope the Warriors win.

[Ghostrider87]

The Bulls once again beat the Miami Heat. If the they don't start to play better basketball then I think the Heat will be sweeped.:yay: :up: I think that they can pull out on game back in Miami but that it is all. They were dominated last night and unlike the last game they could not get back into it in the final 3 minutes.:woot: :word:

[Fran]

If the Bulls sweep, I will not care about the rest of the playoffs. :word:

[batman44]

Apparently the NBA executives voted Nowitzki as their MVP.

Yes!!!!!

[Ghostvirus]

If the Bulls sweep, I will not care about the rest of the playoffs. :word:

You should, because Detroit would be next.

[Ghostrider87]

Yes!!!!!

I don't care that he won the MVP. All of it means nothing if you don't win a championship. I think that my Bulls could get all the way to the third round. The first round should they win would be a big step for them since they have not won a series since the Michael Jordan era.

[Ben Urich]

The NBA executives voted him as their MVP. That doesn't mean he's won the official award; sportswriters vote on that.

Well, I wouldn't say it means nothing but I do value the championship more than any MVP, 70 wins, or any other NBA award or aknowledgement.

[batman44]

The NBA executives voted him as their MVP. That doesn't mean he's won the official award; sportswriters vote on that.

Yeah that is true.

[Ben Urich]

Oh, and the Spurs lost an out-of-bounds call and Parker, Elson, and one other guy all ran at the official with their arms outstretched like WHAT?! YOU IDIOTS!!

****ing whiners. :down

[Fran]

You should, because Detroit would be next.

Good thing you said "would." :)

Yeah, and Dirk isn't officially the MVP. The NBA execs just voted on who they THOUGHT should be the MVP.

It should be Hal Jordan.

[Ben Urich]

He proved us wrong. :o:o

[Ghostvirus]

Good thing you said "would." :)


If Detroit beats Chicago I really don't care. Beating Miami is what I was waiting for all season. Detroit would just be a bonus, as long as they make it a good series. The Champioship would be a Kleenex box emptier though.:ninja:

[Fran]

"Kleenex box emptier"? Eww. :csad::o

[Ben Urich]

Oh yeah, hold that trophy up! That's it! :o:o:o:o

[Ghostvirus]

You all know its somewhat like that.

[Fran]

Oh yeah, hold that trophy up! That's it! :o:o:o:o

You EARNED it, boys! Oh yeah!

:csad:

No, I don't. :csad:

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Screw that I only care about the Warrios! :D

[Ben Urich]

God, I never knew it was possible to flop while shooting, but Manu Ginobili just proved me wrong. :down

https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?op=article&article_id=1894678#top

[Ghostvirus]

Well the nuggs choked. Hopefully Da Warriors don't. I just love watching Cuban pout like a little b**ch on the sidelines. When he realizes they have lost. It is a great feeling.

[L.A.]

Screw that I only care about the Warrios! :D
I care! Cali baby:o

[Jerry!]

If the Warriors can't break open a good lead, and as long as they stay within 4-6 points they have a chance. They seem to take shots way too early though. But if Dallas gets a good lead going, then Dallas has it. The Warriors shot selection is just not that good. But they put up enough 3 pointers to have a puncher's chance.

[Ben Urich]

Baron Davis just got thrown the **** out. :down
Go Warriors! :up:

[L.A.]

and Stephen Jackson!

[batman44]

Dallas WINS!!!!!!!!!!:up:

[Ben Urich]

**** :down

[LastSunrise1981]

Didn't watch the game. How close was it? Either way the series is 1-1 and far from over. I know posters like MC and a few others want the Mavs to lose so I can supposedly "lose my mind".

Yeah, MC, you have a right to be happy and confident since your team is up 2-0 against them. Guess what? Dallas had them 2-0 as well and still lost to them in finals, so I suggest that you don't get so arrogant as well.

Bottom line? I know it's just a game. No conspiracy, no stupid rants, it is what it is and whoever wins the championship will earn it. Yes I want my favorite team to go all the way this year but they'll have to earn it.

May the best team win. :up:

I will say that I find it slightly amusing that whenever the Mavs win the naysayers want to overlook them, call them weak, overrated, and ignore the success they've EARNED. Yet when they lose one or two games then they're "through" or "Dirk isn't a leader". :whatever:

In closing I have this for MC and for Farmer in response to their childish antics.

[LastSunrise1981]

What's up with Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson acting like they're such badasses?

Doesn't the thug Jackson have a strip bar to shoot up or a gang to gather with? Seems like an interesting rivalry is going to develop between these two teams and I'm loving it. Can't wait for the next game.

[Jerry!]

Conspiracy? Basketball would be like the last possible game to have some kind of fix going on. There almost for sure would have been officials anonymously leaking stuff out, and everything. You thought the Heat won because of a fix or conspiracy? The Heat were down 2 games I believe, not even horrible one sided officiating can win 4 games, and as far as I can remember, there wasn't a whole lot of controversial calls, maybe two or three, but thats the same for any game really. You really thought something was going on?

Yes, Dallas was up two games against the Heat. There are some calls that went down in the series that I felt favored the Heat. In the end Dallas was up 2-0 and shouldn't have been in the situation of losing the championship.

What's done is done, what's in the past is in the past. All I can hope for as a fan is for Dallas to go all the way again this year and win the trophy.

[Jerry!]

Yeah but those kind of calls go both ways. Dirk really choked in that last game. I believe he missed one or two crucial free throws late in that game.

[LastSunrise1981]

Yeah but those kind of calls go both ways. Dirk really choked in that last game. I believe he missed one or two crucial free throws late in that game.

He missed one crucial free throw. Josh Howard missed two of them and mistakenly called a time-out that didn't allow them to advance the ball half-court.

It's true those calls go both ways, however, I don't feel favortisim has a place in any sport let alone basketball you know? But in the end Dallas made costly mistakes and they COULD'VE had their first championship.

On a side note, I wish Kenny, Charles, and Ernie would stop acting like goofs and actually talk about basketball in an intelligent manner for once. At least Tim Legler, Greg Anthony, and Stephen A. Smith TALK about basketball, talk about stats, and debate great material when it comes to the game.

[LastSunrise1981]

Yeah, so where are those who were talking crap now? Nothing to say already? I realize it's a 1-1 situation but, Jesus Christ, some of you just disappear when the Mavs make you eat crow eh?

[Ghostvirus]

I am right here. I will always be here Sunrise. Unlike you I don't suddenly become busy when my team loses.

I can tell you right now this game could be the death of the Mavs. They were already struggling against a 8th seed by the way. Now the refs went, & got the Warriors two best players pissed off. The next 2 games should be interesting.

Yeah, yeah, blame the refs for the loss. Where have I heard this one before? Oh yes, I used that same lame excuse before and now you're using it to justify what happened to the Warriors.

Since when has being busy become a crime? I'm sorry that I have finals to study for, I'm sorry that I have a job, and I'm sorry that I have a life outside of the boards. :whatever:

If you remember I stopped posting for quite sometime, even when the Mavs won the last remaining games I never posted. So yes, I haven't posted when they won and I haven't posted when they lost, big deal. It seems when I don't post you think about me anyways, so I guess I'm never too far from your mind in the first place.

I can't wait to see your face and hear your whines if Miami comes back from a 2-0 deficit and embarass the Bulls. It might happen, it might not happen, but if it did it would definitely bring your ego down a good notch.

[Ben Urich]

Sooooo..... how 'bout them Wizards? :dry::csad::up:

[LastSunrise1981]

Sooooo..... how 'bout them Wizards? :dry::csad::up:

Hmm, I feel the outcome would most definitely be different if the Wizards had Arenas and Butler in the line-up.

[Asgard]

Sweet. The Spurs won. Im predicting the series will go 6 games with the Spurs on top at the end.

Too bad for the Warriors though, I was really hoping they'd win this game.

Hopefully the Spurs and Mavs can make it to the WC finals so the Spurs can avenge their loss last year.

[Ghostvirus]

Yeah, yeah, blame the refs for the loss. Where have I heard this one before? Oh yes, I used that same lame excuse before and now you're using it to justify what happened to the Warriors..

Wow. Your stupidity amazes me. I didn't blame the refs. I said cause of what the refs did will be felt in the next game. Jackson, & Davis are going to be Jacked!

Did you understand that ok. If not have your helper explain it to you.

Since when has being busy become a crime? I'm sorry that I have finals to study for, I'm sorry that I have a job, and I'm sorry that I have a life outside of the boards. :whatever: .

I am just saying you being busy is pretty convenient.

If you remember I stopped posting for quite sometime, even when the Mavs won the last remaining games I never posted. So yes, I haven't posted when they won and I haven't posted when they lost, big deal. It seems when I don't post you think about me anyways, so I guess I'm never too far from your mind in the first place..

No. You'll have to ask Famerfran about that. Sorry to dissapoint I really don't give a crap about you.

I can't wait to see your face and hear your whines if Miami comes back from a 2-0 deficit and embarass the Bulls. It might happen, it might not happen, but if it did it would definitely bring your ego down a good notch.

1. My ego can't be brought down.

2. If the Heat did come back, & win I would be dissapointed, but at least it wasn't against a 8th seed.

Again you are the reason I hate the Mavs. Everytime I watch one of there games. I can't help but see a bunch of little whiny b**ches that think they deserve something they haven't yet earned.

Watching Cuban near the end of the first game was like watching a child from a distance throw a quiet tantrum because he didn't get what he wanted. Also when Cuban was walking across the court he made it a point to dodge Warriors hand. Some of the people that align themselves with the Mavs are a signature of poor sportsmanship.

[Ben Urich]

Hmm, I feel the outcome would most definitely be different if the Wizards had Arenas and Butler in the line-up.

Hibachi! :o
As my dad put it when he looked at the playoff seedings in the paper, "So Cleveland basically got a first-round bye, right?"

Sweet. The Spurs won. Im predicting the series will go 6 games with the Spurs on top at the end.

Too bad for the Warriors though, I was really hoping they'd win this game.

Hopefully the Spurs and Mavs can make it to the WC finals so the Spurs can avenge their loss last year.

A Spurs fan?! :wow::huh:
Kill it! :cmad: Kiiiiiiiiiiiiill iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! :cmad::oldrazz:

[Asgard]

Hell yeah, Go Spurs Go!!!

Also a Suns, Pistons, Cavs, Bulls, Magic, and Rockets fan.

But, definitely a Spurs fan first.

[Ghostvirus]

Hell yeah, Go Spurs Go!!!

Also a Suns, Pistons, Cavs, Bulls, Magic, and Rockets fan.

But, definitely a Spurs fan first.

:huh:

[Asgard]

Ok, let me put it this way:

Id like the Spurs to win the championship no question about that, but in the event that they do lose (hopefully not to the Mavs), I wouldnt have a problem cheering on any of those teams that I mentioned.

If I were to rank them in terms of who Id want to win it all if the Spurs lose it'd be:

Rockets
Suns
Cavs
Pistons
Bulls
Magic

[DarthRekal]

I wouldnt mind seeing the Warriors go far... IF the Heat are taken out by the Bulls... i think the only team that can beat the Heat in the West is the Mavs... thats the only reason i root for the mavs...

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!:huh: :csad:

[Fran]

Yeah, so where are those who were talking crap now? Nothing to say already? I realize it's a 1-1 situation but, Jesus Christ, some of you just disappear when the Mavs make you eat crow eh?

I'm going to say two things:
1) It's 1:30 A.M. my time when you posted that. Half of the country, probably more than half, is sleeping. Durr.
2) I've said this to you once before, and I'll say it once again: Shut the hell up.

If you're going to act like everyone is against the Mavs, as you did in the NBA thread, then don't post. We don't care. I respect batman44 because he is a great sport. But when the Mavs lose, you just go in hiding.

2) I've said this to you once before, and I'll say it once again: Shut the hell up.

If you're going to act like everyone is against the Mavs, as you did in the NBA thread, then don't post. We don't care. I respect batman44 because he is a great sport. But when the Mavs lose, you just go in hiding.

:down

Wrong. I've been a good sport about the games lately. Mavs lost one game to the Warriors, Mavs lost two games to the Suns, and I moved on. No big deal and even if they lose to the Warriors they're still getting paid more than one. So whatever.

You are against the Mavs. Batman44 is a great sport, he is an intelligent fan and I enjoy talking to him. I just find it hysterical that when I post an intelligent contribution and speak about my knowledge of the game, posters like you will ignore it and will hold a grudge against me which is fine. I do know the game of basketball, I love the game of basketball, and I'm very knowledgeable about the history of it and the importance of it. You choose to ignore it? That's up to you.

Just because I'm not posting right away doesn't mean I'm hiding. I have a life outside of these boards, so forgive me if I don't post right away. I guess you'll go into "hiding" should the Magic tie the series up. :yay:

So you can put that in your pipe and smoke it slappy.

[Jerry!]

When the Mavs make us eat crow? Aren't they supposed to win these games?
And if the Heat do come back and win the series against the Bulls, they earned it. I don't like Shaq all that much, but I do really admire the way Wade plays. If the Bulls aren't in it at the end, I would like to see the Suns win it.

I don't like the Mavs not because of the fans as much as because of Mark Cuban. The guy is just a tool. I remember after I believe it was Michael Finley left the team, he opened up some kind of website or something that invited Mavs fans to bash him. He's just an all around ass.

[L.A.]

NOFX!!!! I am coming for you!!!:cmad:
I got too much game! Besides heat will win there next two games!!! Bank on it!
