NBA Playoffs

HCL · 04-17-2008, 07:06 PM

Who does everyone think has the best chance of winning, and what team do you want to win?

The best chance would be a tie for Celtics and the Lakers. Both have everything you need for a championship and then some.

I hope the Lakers win. I've been a Lakers fan since I've started watching basketball and Kobe Bryant is my favorite player. He's about to be named MVP, and secured the number 1 seed in the hardest conference in the history of the NBA, all with an injury plagued team.

Lakers 07-08 Champions!

my raps don't have a chance. an LA/Boston final would be a good match-up, especially with the history.

Mr.Tree · 04-17-2008, 07:35 PM

i think the pistons. they have a good starting lineup, and of course, the zoo crew. of course they're going to clash with the celts at one time or another. both have really strong benches.
but neither of them are my favorites. my favorites are the wizards, sixers, and the hawks. the west is just unbearable.

i can't believe someone from detroit could know so little about roundball..

first of all, the west has been WAAAAAYYY stronger than the east since MJ left the bulls for the last time. if anything's been unbearable it's how weak the east has been since then compared to the west. the last few years you've had teams making the playoffs in the east with sub-.500 records.

also, going for 3 teams in 1 conference is whack.

Go Spurs Go!

They haven't been doing too well, but they have it in them.

I think he meant unbeatable.

Mr.Tree · 04-18-2008, 11:48 PM

stoneric, thats exactly what i meant, simply a typo/misunderstanding.

and i'm going for the three teams in the eastern conference, because there underdogs( if you noticed, there are none in western conference really. nuggets?), and i enjoy those kinds of teams, because its that much better when they whoop a really good team. ie the sixers victory over the celtics a few weeks back.
i've been completely immersed in the nba world for the entire season now, and i'm giving myself a pat on the back when i say i know a pretty good amount about everything going on in the nba right now.

i do agree with you herbinator on the eastern conference though, they have a lot of average teams making the playoffs. i think the kings were much more deserving this year than the hawks because if you knew alot about the goings on in the kings franchise, than you would understand(more than average coaching issues, more than average player issues). and any team that kinks with a few playoff issues(spoiler for hornets, rockets)and manages a .46 record in the wild west deserves a congrats

herbinator45 · 04-19-2008, 11:17 AM

^ ron artest is one of my favourite players.

i too like going for underdogs, but c'mon mang, pick one. hahah

giftedunlimited · 04-19-2008, 01:55 PM

Nuggs Lakers tomorrow.

Nuggets stole game 1 on the road last year, from the eventual Champion Spurs.

Lets see what happens.

Prophet Saddam · 04-19-2008, 02:26 PM

Go Warriors
WE BELIEVE!

giftedunlimited · 04-19-2008, 03:27 PM

Warriors aren't even in the playoffs brah, if you're serious.

This Spurs v Suns series is already living up to expectations.

Double OT in the first game. (Tim Duncan hitting a clutch 3 at the end of the first OT to force another LOL)

Bad Ass!

Blue_Dolphin · 04-30-2008, 06:13 AM

FineazPR · 04-30-2008, 06:20 AM

LaKERS & Kobe B. !! Long live the king!!

snowmayne · 04-30-2008, 11:01 AM

Was really surprised to see the Spurs take it in 5 like that... GOod shit though.

Kobes fucking insane. That series was really fun to watch cause there was no defense just crazy offense being played.

Mark Cuban fuckd over the mavericks this season with that gargabe to trade just to get an old Jason Kidd and its showed in the last stretch of the season and into the playoffs.

I think Lebron and the Cavs or KG and the Celtics will win the east.

Most likely San Antonio wins the west.

Vertigo · 04-30-2008, 03:48 PM

celtics ftw... thanks for reminding me i had the wrong channel on

mvps: kobe and KG
