NBA 2009-2010 Season Thread

[glanville6]

Haha I was actually there...visiting from near Chicago. Sat really close to this, didn't see anything bad by Amare. Seeing the replay, he just barely touched his back before the dunk. He sure was taken off the court pretty quick.

Rip on Milwaukee all you want...but I've been to a ton of Bulls games (post MJ) a Pistons game, Magic game and Pacers game...and Bucks fans by far were the most passionate and fun...and some loud Amare rippers admitted there was no foul...but just liked having fun with it.

[SammyG]

Stupid Lakers. Pick and roll defense was terrible, mad props to Manu though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Crazy 4th Quarter during Cavs-Celtics game. Celtics had a bad quarter in the 2nd half and managed to lose a 22 point lead but unlike the Cavs, never lost their mindset and won.

3 Technical Fouls by the Cavs and almost a brawl between KG and Lebron for no real reason during the 4th.

[Icess]

Grrrrrrrrr....

[Supreme Olajuwon]

lol this K-Mart stuff is hilarious

pretty shitty prank but come on bro

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Celts/Cavs game on Sunday got me looking forward to the playoffs big time.

[Icess]

Probably could be in a NBA Offseason thread, but...

Bosh is done for the season. Will this affect where he ultimately ends?

It actually makes me think that he is more apt to go to a proven contender now, rather than a paycheck. I'm leaning towards the Nugs or Suns; where before, I thought he or Joe John were going to end wherever Wade or Bron end up.

Thoughts?

[alvarado52]

oh yay...i love Derek Fisher. Such wonderful decision making as a point guard, such an accurate shooter.


Fuck you D.Fish. Go away.

[SammyG]

I fucking hate that fucking old piece of shit

[Juan]

I was totally expecting this team to get blown out without Kobe and with the way they've been playing lately.

[SammyG]

Artest played great, Pau did alright, Machine came in and hit a couple nice shots. Brown needs to stop being such a chucker. Powell is useless. FUCK YOU FISHER

Odom was the key tonight, completely nonexistant.

[Juan]

I wont lose hope until they're actually eliminated/if they're eliminated

[alvarado52]

Hurray, another awesome play by Derek Fisher, another notch in the loss column.

[Juan]

wtf was that???

[SammyG]

Derek Fisher can honestly fuck off and die. Congrats Cavs on winning the championship.

[McLegend]

Wow fuck the Sixers for winning last night

[Juan]

Derek Fisher can honestly fuck off and die. Congrats Cavs on winning the championship.

Stop saying shit like this and then jumping back on the bandwagon a few days later. Make up your mind, chump.

[alvarado52]

his incredible defense on Andre Miller was amazing as well. Derek Fisher needs to go away.

[SammyG]

Stop saying shit like this and then jumping back on the bandwagon a few days later. Make up your mind, chump.
Look, you short fat Mexican wrestling mark. I'm always a Laker fan. I just don't see the fire that the team had last year. Losing to a depleted 8 seed at home is pathetic. Don't tell me to make up my mind. Go back to your local Taco Bell and don't even attempt to talk to me.

[SammyG]

:yes::yes::yes::yes:

ROFL

wow, get defensive much?? I wasn't even trying to "flame" you lol. Way to flip out.

[Juan]

btw, props on calling someone on a wrestling message board a wrestling mark. Top notch, stuff, sammy.

[alvarado52]

stfu....you....mexican!

[SammyG]

Has Phil lost it? He said that last play was designed for Pau to take a three. WOWWW

[alvarado52]

Pau used to be able to knock 'em down in the spanish league, but i highly doubt he practices them nowadays

[Skippord]

confine this talk to the LA Lakers thread plz

[OssMan]

If the Cavaliers win this year and then the Cowboys win the Superbowl or something I think it means the apocalypse has come.

[McLegend]

Why?

[OssMan]

Duke and UNC win basketball
Penguins win Stanley Cup
Yankees and Phillies win WS (I get that not everybody hates Philadelphia for some reason, but still)
Lakers

All the huge "heel"/fucking asshole teams have been winning championships in the last two years.

[McLegend]

Cavs are not an asshole team.

[Juan]

yes they are

[McLegend]

No they aren't you bastards.

You Juan are only saying that, because you hate the best basketball player in the world not named Kevin Durant.

[Juan]

He's not the only reason I don't like that team. They act like a bunch of clowns on the sidelines.

[McLegend]

In order to be an asshole team you have to have a long history of winning, and a long line of really good to great players.

Cleveland does not have that. They have 1 possible transcendent player(Lebron), and a few other players who really good( Mark Price and Brad Daugherty to name 2).

They have been good for like 2 periods of time. The Mark Price years and Lebron years. They also don't have enough fans to qualify for the asshole status yet.

[Juan]

Well, they're an asshole team to me. Is that ok with you, McLegend???

[SammyG]

No, tool. Cleveland is fine. It's Boston that has the asshole team, and Denver.

[Juan]

So I can't dislike them?

[McLegend]

Well, they're an asshole team to me. Is that ok with you, McLegend???

Disliking them is fine especially since they have a mini-feud. You just can't lump them in with the Yankees, Lakers, Celtics, or any other team like that.

[Emperor Smeat]

In order to be an asshole team you have to have a long history of winning, and a long line of really good to great players.

What if the fan base is full of assholes but the team itself never has been good or had success for long enough, would the team/city still be considered for "ass" status?

[alvarado52]

I'd say Boston qualifies as the asshole team in this day and age. The nuggets have only one real asshole, but boy, is it a huge gaping asshole (k-mart)

[SammyG]

Umm.. Birdman.... JR Smith...

[CNM]

Birdman? LOL. Why, because he has tattoos?

[Juan]

because he has gotten suspended for violating the substance abuse policy. My guess is meth. Dude totally looks lilke a meth head.

[alvarado52]

lol, i dont think the birdman comes off as an asshole though. Dahntey Jones struck me as a big asshole when he played for the Nugs.

[CNM]

So if you struggle with some sort of addiction that makes you an asshole? Birdman is a good dude who has overcome a bunch of obstacles to be where he is today.

[Juan]

I just don't like the Nuggets very much.

[Juan]

Chauncey is ok tho

[DaveWadding]

So if you struggle with some sort of addiction that makes you an asshole? Birdman is a good dude who has overcome a bunch of obstacles to be where he is today.

Yeah, like the inability to make dunks.

[RP]

I hate the pacers so bad right now. They've won 12 of the last 18 games. Think about that for a second. If they hadnt lost Granger for like 4 weeks, they might have made the playoffs.

But think about if they started the season 12-4...

Anyways, we're drafting a white guy with the 10-13 lottery pick we get. Guaranteed. Yay Cole Aldrich!

[McLegend]

What if the fan base is full of assholes but the team itself never has been good or had success for long enough, would the team/city still be considered for "ass" status?

I'm going to say no, because you have to cover all basis to get into that "elite" status.

Is there any specific team you are talking about?

[Emperor Smeat]

Only one I could think of without really thinking would be the Oakland Raiders in the NFL but that would be because of the owner and the die hard fans more than the team itself.

[Juan]

Al Davis is the devil

[Skippord]

Chris Andersen is the nicest man alive you jerkoffs

[SammyG]

Not gonna lie. Terrified of playing the Thunder. this will go 6 if not 7

[IC Champion]

Look, you short fat Mexican wrestling mark. I'm always a Laker fan. I just don't see the fire that the team had last year. Losing to a depleted 8 seed at home is pathetic. Don't tell me to make up my mind. Go back to your local Taco Bell and don't even attempt to talk to me.

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GREASY FUCKING GREEK! Your house probably smells like greek food.

[SammyG]

Um. No? Cuz I don't cook greek food here? Plus, I am not greasy. I always smell amazing :) Go fuck yourself now? cool.

[SammyG]

Zombie Sonics are so underrated.

[OssMan]

They have been good for like 2 periods of time. The Mark Price years and Lebron years. They also don't have enough fans to qualify for the asshole status yet.How about the Philadelphia Flyers who have won a total of 2 Stanley Cups in their 40+ year history and don't have any great players on their team right now, yet are regarded throughout the league as the biggest bunch of assholes there is (aside from Penguins). They don't have to be that good, they just have dirty pieces of shit like Carcillo and Hartnell who make everyone hate the team and have the nastiest fans in the league.

[McLegend]

The Flyers are not an asshole team, because they are choking dogs. IF they can someone win the Cup then they probably become on that status.

[OssMan]

The Flyers are not an asshole team
homer detected

[McLegend]

homer detected

lol I don't care about hockey.

[McLegend]

Did anyone just watch The Allen Iverson documentary on ESPN?

I recommend you watch it if you haven't.

[DaveWadding]

:wave: Skippord

[RoXer]

I am honestly hoping to face the Evil Empire the entire series

Spurs->Mavs->Lakers


But I definitly want the Spurs

[SammyG]

I'd love to play the Suns.

[Skippord]

I'm blaming any failures the Nuggets have ever on JR Smith

[RoXer]

praying for a suns win, spurs win, and portland loss

[RoXer]

I'm not even going to watch. I have so much faith that the NBA will rig it proper for a Suns/Spurs round 1 matchup

[Emperor Smeat]

I'm not even going to watch. I have so much faith that the NBA will rig it proper for a Suns/Spurs round 1 matchup

Sad part about that idea is only a few years ago that would have been "rigged" to be a round 2/conference finals matchup. Then again NBA did change their whole playoff standings a few years ago just to get the mouthwatering matches for certain rounds (assuming no upsets).

[Crimson]

Go back to 5 games for the 1st rounds ..The way it is now is retarded. Not the 7 games but the scheduling. Like 2 games a week, they play 1 day /2days off..play the next game dayoff,,play 3rd..2 MORE DAYS OFF..ridiculous

[McLegend]

I'm really upset that The Sixers season is over.

[alvarado52]

damn i feel bad for the Bucks. I love the Hawks though, big fan of their players and style of play.

[McLegend]

Man KG is still a bitch.

[Loose Cannon]

love the Nuggets. so bad ass.

[Loose Cannon]

awesome game thus far

[SammyG]

wtf, the Nuggets are such douchebags. And KG... wow.

[McLegend]

I actually think the Lakers will win this series in 5. I just think the Thunder are too young to beat the Lakers or even take them to 6/7 games.

I also think Durant is going to have a rough series.

[alvarado52]

KG has always been a bitch who barks and throws cheap shots but bitches out when gets stepped to. The Lakers/Thunder series is size v. speed, which means the Thunder needs to get on the break alot. Lakers in 5.

[Emperor Smeat]

Q Richardson admitted to saying the only reason he went over to where Pierce fell was to tell KG that Pierce was faking it. Its also why when the tech's were handed out he started to smile when KG got his 2nd tech.

[alvarado52]

http://www.slamonline.com/online/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/kgpeeler.gif

[RoXer]

"He started to talk to me, so I talked back," Richardson said. "I don't have any business talking to [Pierce], he was on the ground crying. I don't know what was going on, two actresses over there, that's what they are."

[SammyG]

Meh, not an impressive win. Looked like the defending champs for a quarter, but that was it. Gotta step it up.

[RoXer]

Way too easy to photoshop a cock in that pic

[RoXer]

Great defense by Portland

[alvarado52]

lol, Air Camby!

[alvarado52]

I'd say Nash rushed that one abit. I know dude is clutch from beyond, but two dudes who are a foot taller than you contesting your shot a foot behind the arc? Testing your clutch just abit.

[RoXer]

The fact that it even got to that point late in the game is amazing. I like their chances in late game situations.

[alvarado52]

The fact that it even got to that point late in the game is amazing.

are you referring to the Blazers without their all-star? Or the healthy Suns?

[SammyG]

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Suns. WAAADDING SHOWW

[RoXer]

I'm saying they almost blew a 6 point lead with 30 seconds left. A few times. I now feel confident the suns can win in late game situations (even though they didn't tonight)

[SammyG]

And I'm just saying the Roy-less Blazers beat the Suns at home in a playoff game.

[DaveWadding]

It's one game. Don't expect me to go all SammyG in here and try to kill myself over it.

[SammyG]

I wouldn't know what losing a Game 1 is, sorry.

[RoXer]

You would know how to lose 4 out of 7 to the Suns.

Twice.

[alvarado52]

You would know how to lose 4 out of 7 to the Suns.

Twice.

considering those Laker teams were pretty piss poor (Kwame and Smush starting!) and they also pushed the Suns to the brink, i'd say they have a history of struggling against teams they should walk over. That being said, im not so sure the Suns will have the easy time they thought they would against the Blazers.

[Skippord]

alright your teams aren't even playing each other

shut the fuck up and wait for a time when they do

[SammyG]

Skippord, you're teams? You are teams? Are we teams? Come on. YOUR teams.

[Skippord]

IT WAS LATE, GET OFF MY BACK

[Skippord]

there

[DaveWadding]

Sammy G, Grammar Police.

[RoXer]

Holy shit, The University of Montana may be worth something.

[SammyG]

k, on a serious note guys, this brought a tear to my eye.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/boys-nba-sized-dream-true/story?id=10392569

[SammyG]

Fuck yeah, Utah

[DaveWadding]

I love how you say Denver are a bunch of assholes, then root for a team that has a documented asshole like Carlos Boozer on it.

[SammyG]

Who else is a dick on that team? And Boozer is not a thug on and off the court. I don't like him, but he's not nearly as bad as JR Smith or Kenyon Martin. Plus, Utah would be a better matchup for the Lakers.

[Skippord]

Also you're a fan of Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant

so there's that

[SammyG]

Yeah, Kobe is such a thug, huh.

[Skippord]

Well he did rape someone

also Kenyon Martin is awesome for charities here

[alvarado52]

Thunder's playing crazy good D right now.

[RoXer]

4th foul should not have been on Kobe, should have been on Kristic

[alvarado52]

the refs have been real up and down this game...some plays they let'em bang, others they call a foul. Regardless of that, the Thunder are swarming the Lakers and crashing the boards. They're playing bigger than the Lakers right now.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol how the fuck did they call Kobe's last shot a 3? His entire foot was inside the line

[RoXer]

17 blocked shots


what is this, NBA JAM?

[alvarado52]

Ah yes, thats why we got Ron.

[alvarado52]

win or lose, the Thunder are gonna be a real pain in the ass in the very near future.

[DaveWadding]

SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN SHOWWWW YEAHHHHHHH CHAMPIONSHIP BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


note: this post is completely sarcastic.

[My Nuts]

note: I completely got my nuts in yr. mouth

[alvarado52]

Sir Charles cursed on the tele? I didnt hear what he said.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Did the Hawks not even come close to selling out? I only saw one highlight and it looked like nobody was in the arena

[Emperor Smeat]

According to ESPN, the Hawks have sold out both playoff games.

Its probably because of the quiet nature of the crowd (needs the P.A. guy just to start any chants) and the way the stadium is designed makes it seem like few people are there.

[SammyG]

Ron Artest is so good at defense. But he is probably the worst offensive player I have seen wear a Laker jersey. God damn. Him and Fish shot a combined 4-20.

[Juan]

Well, Artest was brought in specifically for his defense. Fish, on the other hand, has no excuse.

[SammyG]

Still though. When Kobe gets double and triple teamed, you've gotta hit an open shooter. With Ariza, I felt comfortable everytime he shot that open 3. Ron is terrible at it. TERRIBLE. Kudos, defensively, though.

[Jeritron]

Best R&B singer in the history of the franchise

[alvarado52]

Ron Artest is so good at defense. But he is probably the worst offensive player I have seen wear a Laker jersey. God damn. Him and Fish shot a combined 4-20.

Um, Kwame Brown? Samaki Walker?

[SammyG]

fine. close to.

[Buzzkill]

I would hardly call Ron Artest "so good at defense"

3 years ago yes, now he can't even guard quick 2's

[Juan]

Well, if Buzzkill says so...

[Juan]

woooo go Bulls

[alvarado52]

keep standing OKC lol

[Juan]

lol

[Juan]

what a game so far

[alvarado52]

we havent taken the best shots, but fuck...the calls are definitely one sided. Lakers take 12 total free throws, Thunder takes 30+. Cmon

[SammyG]

Honestly expected to lose this game, but yeah. 22 more free throws for OKC? Get the fuck outta here. Lakers are gonna win game 4 by double digits.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Can't wait for the zen master's post game comments about free throws

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wonder if the zen master is gonna mention how the Lakers got out rebounded even though they have 3 seven footers? Probably not

[Juan]

Wonder if the zen master is gonna mention how the Lakers got out rebounded even though they have 3 seven footers? Probably not

This is why I'm not comfortable blaming the refs for this loss. Lakers shit the bed in the 4th

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Wow I'm wrong. He actually didn't mention the refs (at least not in the part of the post-game interview I saw)

[alvarado52]

i make no excuses for the shitty shot selection, and one of my biggest problems with the Lakers all year is that they PLAY small, even though we should be dominating the boards. But you cant deny, one free throw counts as a point, and the opposite team is going to the line about 18 more times than you, its a pretty big factor in a 5 point loss.

[SammyG]

Retarded shot selection by Kobe, as well.

[DaveWadding]

Suns.

Just sayin.

[alvarado52]

Suns. Are playing an injury depleted team missing their all-star and center. Good thing we are at full health.

Just sayin.

fixed.

[DaveWadding]

Yes, the same injury depleted team that won on the Suns homecourt in Game 1.

And they are starting Jarron Collins at Center, sorry don't think they are at full health either.

and no team should be getting blown out by 30 for the majority of a game in the playoffs. It's the playoffs. No excuses.

[DaveWadding]

and I didn't even get to the fact that Camby is an UPGRADE over Oden at this point.

[RoXer]

Nah come on. Blazers aren't where they should be. I almost feel bad.

[DaveWadding]

Hey, anybody remember when the Blazers blew out the Suns in February without Roy, Oden, or Camby? When they started Juwan Howard at Center? No?

[RoXer]

Phoenix Fans Have Rock Lawns

[RoXer]

Horrible defensive showing in the 4th

[Loose Cannon]

like this Portland team.

[SammyG]

What a great championship caliber team

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

i make no excuses for the shitty shot selection, and one of my biggest problems with the Lakers all year is that they PLAY small, even though we should be dominating the boards. But you cant deny, one free throw counts as a point, and the opposite team is going to the line about 18 more times than you, its a pretty big factor in a 5 point loss.
So it's impossible for one team to get fouled 9 more times than the other? What's the point of even having refs then If both teams foul equally?

[McLegend]

I would be so happy if the Thunder can somehow pull this series out.

[SammyG]

I respect the fucking hell out of them. Not gonna happen though.

[alvarado52]

So it's impossible for one team to get fouled 9 more times than the other? What's the point of even having refs then If both teams foul equally?

Calling the same fouls both ways is usually preferred in sports, yknow?

ANYWAY, Thunder are hungrier than the Lakeshow. Fucking Lakers dont even LOOK like they want to grab a rebound or defend.

How hard is it to exploit our size in the low post? Honestly, its not rocket science...we have a size advantage over them, and it slows the pace down so they cant run and gun as much.

This just in

Dwayne Wade and Lebron James are good.

[Juan]

well, Charlotte's done. Portland got destroyed tonight too.

[DaveWadding]

Dunno how Portland did it. They hit their 1st 9 shots, had the Suns doiwn by 14 and...

well. THAT happened.

mad anxious about tomorrow's game. Winner of that game is winning the series, obviously.

[IC Champion]

[Emperor Smeat]

Celtics join Magic as teams to advance to Round 2 in the East. Unless Bucks pull off an upset, Celtics-Cavs in Round 2.

[McLegend]

It will be no matter what Celtics/Cavs(assuming they win tonight).

NBA doesn't reseed :lol:

[Emperor Smeat]

It will be no matter what Celtics/Cavs(assuming they win tonight).

NBA doesn't reseed :lol:

Did they change the playoff structure again?

I thought a few years ago they changed it to reseed since they kept using up good matches in the West in Round 2 and not in conference finals.

Either way, good news is unlike last 2 years, Celtics get some days to rest before playing the 2nd round.

[McLegend]

Nope only "recent" changes they have made was making the first round 7 games.

No other changes.

[RP]

2 of the worst fouls on Miller there

[McLegend]

These Bulls don't die.

[RP]

the refs wont let the bulls win

[RP]

DERRICK FRIGGIN ROSE

[RP]

OH WOW THIS GAME IS RIGGED

[RP]

Rose should have had that and 1 comon

[alvarado52]

Yeah, these refs are trying to hand this win to the Cavs

[McLegend]

Just wait till we get to the Lakers game...

[RP]

Just wait till we get to the Lakers game...

total Laker rimjob

[alvarado52]

Ive said it once, ill say it again, if a team focused on taking charges for a game, LeBron James would foul out in the first half. Dude just drives.

[RP]

i really want Derrik Rose to win this game

[RP]

Labron needs to take Professor Pierce's Faking Injuries 101 class

[McLegend]

That right arm's going to be beyond a great concern, Ian Eagle.

[alvarado52]

Fuck, did someone finally tell the coaching staff that they cant guard us in the post?

[Juan]

Beautiful

[McLegend]

Wow Ron Artest is more then just a body taking up space tonight.

[RP]

I feel like the Thunder have a few runs in them still

[OssMan]

Did anybody see Derrick Rose take 7 steps in the lane on the way to a layup

[Juan]

What a great championship caliber team

[McLegend]

If Lamar Odom and Ron Artest play like this the Lakers will hardly ever lose to anyone.

[alvarado52]

the entire offense opens up when we play big in the post, i just dont get why we dont do it as often as we should, considering the size of this Laker team.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Can't wait for the Celtics to beat the Cavs

Hopefully

[SammyG]

What an amazing game.

[Juan]

Gasol + Bynum: 46 points, 18 for 26, 22 rebounds, 6 assists :eek:

[SammyG]

Yeah. Kobe on Westbrook was huge for us, as well.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Only took until game 5 to realize that Derek Fisher can't guard Westbrook

[Juan]

Only took until game 5 to realize that Derek Fisher can't guard Westbrook

lol so true. Sucks that it took Kobe asking to guard Westbrook instead of Phil realizing that Fisher can't guard 90% of PG's in the NBA.

[Juan]

Artest's defense on Durant

Game 1: 7-24 fg, 29%, 24pts
Game 2: 12-26 fg, 46%, 32pts
Game 3: 8-24 fg, 33%, 29pts
Game 4: 6-12 fg, 50%, 22pts
Game 5: 5-14 fg, 36%, 17pts

Total: 38/100, 38%

[SammyG]

and Durant's season average was 48% I believe.

[Juan]

yup

[Juan]

Hopefully he can do the same with Carmelo (if Denver can advance) and Lebron.

[Skippord]

I don't really think you need to worry about the Nuggets advancing

[Juan]

lol

[Nark Order]

Bucks playing like ass tonight but they still might pull this out.

[Nark Order]

On second thought, not a bad series for the Bucks actually, seeing as how their best player is injured.

[Nark Order]

Hot game here now. Salmons is a defensive powerhouse in this game right now.

[McLegend]

This has been a nice collapse by the Hawks.

[Nark Order]

Could go either way here. Hoping the Bucks take it here. Not a "huge fan" of them but I prefer them over the Hawks. Besides, taking it to the competition despite your best player getting his shoulder torn off is savage.

[Nark Order]

FEAR THE DEER. Game over.

[McLegend]

FEAR THE DEER

[SammyG]

FEAR THE DEEERRRR

[Emperor Smeat]

Bucks probably taking the series now. Hawks have about 1 win on the road during the last 3 playoffs.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nuggets & Mavs both gonna back and advance..BOOK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SammyG]

Um, wanna bet.

[McLegend]

Yeah Mavs really have have to stop George Hill if they want to win this game.

I can't wait until the Lakers lose, and you shut the fuck up you ugly greek bitch.

[alvarado52]

Crazy big respect for the Thunder. Those boys are gonna be a BIG problem in the league soon.

[McLegend]

Well looks like OKC and I have something in common... We both forgot pau Gasol was playing until he tipped the ball in.

[alvarado52]

fundamentals man....that missed box out would have never happened in the WNBA.

[OssMan]

Damn @ Lakers vs. Oklahoma City game

[SammyG]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEEE SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[alvarado52]

What a phenomenal night last night. Lakers win, Denver gets eliminated, Dodgers win.

In all seriousness, OKC is fucking scary. That team is gonna win a championship in the next 5 years, IMO. If they add a true power center.. make that 3 years. They are so young and athletic and exciting to watch. Mad props. Scary series.

Utah... does not scare me at all. I will be surprised if it goes 6, to be honest. Also, kinda crazy to think that the Lakers have just added another crazy bucket in playoff history. From Fisher's 0.4 6 years ago, to Pau's 0.5 this year.

[SammyG]

Feel disgusted for wanting the Celts to win...

I don't get you Laker people

[Emperor Smeat]

Not completely surprised Cavs were able to come back since Celtics either start out slow in the 1st Quarter vs the Cavs for the past 2 years or have a poor 3rd/4th Quarter which happened a lot this year.

[alvarado52]

Im split. A part of me wants the Celts to beat the Cavs because i hate Cav 'fans' who showed up the day LeBron got drafted, and a part of me wants the Celts to lose because i cant stand the team (with Jesus being the exception)

edit: ugh! I cant type on this laptop

[SammyG]

I don't get you Laker people
why not

Lake Show

[Skippord]

just puzzles me as to why you would cheer for the Celtics if you don't like them

Because they're a better match-up for the Lakers. NBA, and specifically the playoffs, are all about match-ups.

[Juan]

It's the same reason I wanted Utah to beat Denver.

not to mention we want vengeance.

[Skippord]

I don't see why you wouldn't want to beat the best team

dunno, maybe this doesn't make sense because I don't care about the NBA

[Juan]

Thanks for wasting my time then, Skippord

[SammyG]

Skippord, would you rather face the Yankees in the World Series, or the Rays?

[Skippord]

well the Rays are probably the best team in baseball

but going by the question if the Yankees were the best team in baseball I'd rather face them

[IC Champion]

Yes but the Lakers themselves arent the best, so they would like to avoid playing the best, increasing their chances of winning, cause let's face it, LBJ is gonna destroy the Lakers and their fans.
