Lakers sweep Jazz prediction was wrong, I predict Lakers in 5 over Houston is wrong as well lol. 6 games.

 

[Mexi]

i wanted portland so bad, oh well

SMH beat L.A. chants

[MapleLeaf]

[I'm With ATL]

If LA couldnt sweep Utah, they better step up that D big time to have a chance against Houston.

Battier all day.

 

[MapleLeaf]

BKS, there is a nice piece of Garnett footage on NBA.coms wrap up of the game with him just sitting down after they lose. Maybe you should try and make that into an avi? lol

So is T-Mac still a second round virgin?

yeah and here's why

when the Spurs got eliminated a few days ago they said it was the first time Duncan ever got eliminated in round 1.

The Spurs got eliminated in round 1 in 2000 with Duncan on the roster, but he didnt play in the series

Jesus, are you a freaking fan? Or just "cheering"?

You've gone from Nets...to Celtics...to Bulls in literally a 24-hour period.

Why don't you just cheer for all teams?

During game 5, I found myself actually getting EXCITED for the Bulls. I cant believe how much I have grown to hate Boston due to the likes of #5 and #34...and #11 and #43 and #50.

NJ by the Magic to beat the 76ers in Game 6 without Dwight.

I have to say the Bulls and Celtics series has been one of the most entertaining series of all-time for me. Cant wait for Game 7 on Sat.

The Nuggets have to be careful not to get lulled into a false sense of security by virtue of their regular season success against Dallas and their first round dominance of the New Orleans Hornets. Make no mistake, Dallas is playing their best basketball of the season right now. From top to bottom the Nuggets are the better team, but Denver has to be prepared to be tested in a way they simply were not in round one against the Hornets.

 

[Mexi]

i'll be rooting for Dallas

Lakers/Mavs is sex

 

[cruzg24]

Lakers would kill us if it was that. Have to steal a game in Denver to have a chance at winning the series.

 

[Mexi]

Denver isnt as powerful as they seemed against the one man team hornots. Chauncey and the rest of the team for that matter, cant bully Kidd the way he/they did CP, and the Mavs have more weapons than NO does. Dirk has to be huge

I think it's gonna be a long series and idk who will win honestly. I'm kinda leaning towards Dallas oddly enough, but Denver is playing some nice bball right now and they do have HCA.

Great series though for sure

 

[elcheato]

I expect Denver to sweep or win in 5 games.

I'll have to check it out...

I've been feeling that since the series started. BTW don't forget #9 to the list of hated players. The Celtics luck is running out very slowly...

There is no way it's a sweep. They did sweep the season series, but the Mavs kept the games close (3 of the 4 game were decided by 3 or less points). Also the Mavs are playing the best they have all season.
