did anyone just watch the sixers come back from being down 18 to tied 98-98 and iguodala made it 100-98 with 3 seconds left.
anyway this will be our thread for the playoffs, which i'm sure will get about 3 replies, maybe 4 if teesa comes around.

i have a real hard time liking him.
i'm watching the mavs and spurs. i hate the spurs so much. i can never see myself ever liking this franchise no matter who they have. i hate bruce bowen. why? i just do. if tony parker was on a different team, i'd like him. but i wouldn't want to break my irrational hate of the spurs to give him and props, so f*ck him. i'm going for the mavs. kidd is one of my favorites of all time, i just wish he'd get back to the east.

the lakers played shitty last night imo, it shouldn't have gotten that close. they're just lucky utah started f*cking up and turning it over at the end or else i think they coulda easily lost it. i couldn't believe they went from being up 20 to only 5 points or so. devon williams was on fire, 35 points.

why are you laughing? it's not like the lakers were gonna sweep. i predicted lakers 4-1. i knew jazz would either win game 3 or 4.
kobe played like crap, and bynum only played 7 minutes, yet jazz only won by 2. i'm not at all concerned. if lakers lose game 4, then i'll be concern.

my hands were literally almost over my eyes when kobe took that last three point attempt! i don't have too much of a problem with the lakers, but i really want utah to make this series a little competitive.
my predictions for each series have been totally off...i didn't think philadelphia or chicago would be able to stick with orlando or boston so closely (but with KG gone, it makes chicago's job a little easier) i also thought new orleans and denver would go to a game 7, but i'm not complaining =)

i hate bruce bowen. why? i just do.
i dislike the spurs so much. i have a huge problem with bruce bowen and tony parker. bowen because he flops so damn much and can play dirty. parker mainly because of an incident two (?) years ago when he and steve nash collided and nash was bleeding all over the place, but went over to help parker who was pathetically laying on the floor when nothing happened to him.

the only way cavs will beat the lakers is if the refs and stern wanna give their golden poster child his first ring , like they did with d-wade (ahem 25 fts a game against mavs)
other than that i don't see how the cavs can match up with the lakers talent.
brooklyneast05
Apr 25 2009, 05:21 PM
if the jazz can match up with the lakers talent, then the cavs can.
i don't think the lakers have played good all series so far. the first two games, had they not had good first quarters then there is a good chance they would have lost. especially game two, lakers played shitty towards the end are just lucky the jazz started turning it over imo. they didn't even win game three.

the lakers are a tricky team to decipher. they play to the level of their competition imo. they stepped it up when they have to especially this season when bynum went down and beat the cavs and celtics back to back on the road.
the reason why the jazz can match up with the lakers talent, is cuz their the most talented team in the west outside of the lakers. tbh, i think the jazz talent > cavs talent. that's sayin how good lebron is. cmon now. take lebron out of that team and who do they have? the jazz have deron, boozer, ak47, okur. all four of those players were allstars. then they have role players like milsap and brewer. whenever the cavs and lakers play kobe and lebron usually cancels each other out, leavin the game decided by the supporting players.
gasol > ilguaskas
odom > varejao
kobe > d. west
trevor < lebron
fisher > or = to david west
bench
and i still think the lakers bench is greater than the cavs. especially when you have a 7 footer bynum and a rising shannon brown.
good win today for the lakers. they should've won by 20, but they knew the game was over already with 6 minutes left to go, so they got lazy towards the end. lamar and shannon brown has been very good all series long. i look for a win on monday. i'm hopin houston and portland will go the distance to 7 games, so the lakers can get a bit of rest. trevor ariza is injured, so we need time to heal.

The Lakers have the best team in basketball hands down. They know this, so they go out and play based on talent alone. That's how they've been winning most of their games, but this will catch up to them if they don't get it together.

i can't really gauge how good the lakers are cause they haven't really crossed a challenge yet, beat the rockets in 5 next series, and then nuggets in 6 is my guess, but the cavs are way better than any other western team

I think the Rockets are a better team without TMac. I also think if both the Lakes and Rockets meet, its going to be a 7 game series possibly.
On a side note, how you get beat 121 - 63 at home?
