Surprisingly I don't see a thread discussing this....

Celtics over Hawks in 4

Pistons over Sixers in 6

Magic over Raptors in 5

Cavs over Wizards in 7


Lakers over Nuggets in 5

Hornets over Mavs in 7

Spurs over Suns in 7

Jazz over Rockets in 6


Celtics to take the title.

I can't believe what great match ups we're seeing in the West.

go Raps!

Lakers/Celtics finals

best matchup in years

I'm so pissed. I missed all the games but I'm prepping the house for kid #2. Hopefully I can watch some this week.

:werd:

double :werd:

that Suns/Spurs game was insane!...I still can't believe Duncan nailed that 3!

gawd i hope the suns pull it off so my annoying coworker will STFU.

dude, i've all but the celtics game...GREAT first round...best first round in years....and man that suns/spurs game was off the hook...too bad my girls place doesn't have tnt/espn....sports bars here i come!!!


GO ROCKETS!

ouch...time to find a new girlfriend :tomato:

Awesome first round matchups. The best in years.

wow what a choke by detroit lol



although they'll prob win the series, they need to stop being so complacent in the playoffs.

Check my thread in ramblings...i'm already working on it :thumbsup: :tomato:

If you're reading this honey, I was only kidding, please dont' make me sleep on the couch again.

lakers :goldcup:

anyone else think Dirk should've retaliated after West got in his face..

perhaps a pimp slap with a backhand? :biggrin:

I was surprised at the game the 76ers played last night, i guess ive just been sleeping on them all year and not paying them much attention but they played a hell of a game last night. Anyways im lovin all these matchups in the first round and im very excited to see KG earn his way into being mentioned with the rest of the Celtic greats!!

Lakers look good, I would love to see a Celtics/Lakers final...

6 games with the Celtics taking it at home...

Dirk shoulda gave him a good shove at least, and then pretend to have Dampier hold him back.

But you can't let the face slap fly. That's at least worth a tech.

We'd like a reunion with our old friends too. Everyone hates the Lakers, but its only valid when it comes from you guys. :)

Go Jazz!!! :biggrin:

Jazz up 2-0 over the Rockets!!! :thumbsup:

rockets...:rant:

WTF!!! WTF!!!...ok I'll accept the lost..but that FLOP!!! WTF!!!

horrible call...Kirilenko should get an Oscar for that garbage!

What was that Stevenson, Lebron's overrated? Good call dumbass.

Fuck the Jazz. I wouldn't be to happy about hell we're playing without our starting point guard and center.

Sixers were the hottest team in the East. I doubt they'll take Detroit in 7 but it will be intresting. :popcorn:

That idiot must have missed last years Pistons/Cavs match up.

Maybe you have a short memory!!!! Let me remind you last year's playoff your starting center and PG played but the Jazz won the series. :tomato:

Let me remind you that we have new coach and system a real PF in Scola and a much better bench in Jackson and Laundry than we had last year. :tomato:

Seriously...i mean calling out one of the top 2 players in the league and you're a no-name who averages 11 pts a game, gimme a break.

And Arenas saying the Cavs cant beat them 3 years in a row, LOL - atleast he's not the dumbest one on the team :D

i never understood the motive in talking :turd: about a superstar player like lebron before a playoffs series.

players have done this in the past with jordan as well. gerald wilkins dubbing himself the "jordan killer" comes to mind.

what's the point?

are you trying to motivate your teammates? if so, then you're doomed if your teammates need something like that to be motivated for the playoffs.

are you trying to put pressure on the player? we've seen last year that lebron can carry his team. some stars can't, but lebron can.

:dunno:

yeah right!!! same result :tomato:

DeShawn just thinks he's better than he really is...

anyone remember when he bet Arenas $20K that he could hit more two-handed three-pointers than Gil could hit one-handed?

That went about as well as him taunting LeBron :rolleyes:

^vid for those who haven't seen it...great stuff!

yea what kind of call was that, that 3 by bobby jackson would have tied the game again in the 4th quarter...

I'm with yall ont he call but I have to admit that we wouldn't have been in that situation if we made our free throws and shots...down 0-2 is tough but we can still pull it out...we're not the 94' rockets but anything is possible!

GO ROCKETS!

Sorry but i think you guys are getting swept.

Utah is TERRIBLE on the road, so probably not

I agree - should have been a no call given the situation. It didn't affect the play and determined the outcome. It seemed like the refs were going to let them play anyways. Critical bad call.

My calls ..


Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets: Lakers in 5

Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets: Jazz in 6

San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns: Suns in 7

New Orleans Hornets vs. Dallas Mavericks: Mavericks in 7

Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks: Celtics in 5

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards: Cavaliers in 4

Orlando Magic vs. Torono Raptors: Magic in 5

Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers: Pistons in 5
