2009 NBA Playoffs 2nd Round Thread

Cavs with the 27 point win in game 1. Great way to set the tone.

Houston played great no doubt
But the Lakers know what they did wrong and are gonna make some adjustments.
This game shouldnt suprise anyone because everyone picked the Lakers in 5, 6, or 7.

I'm not worried at all. All they did was give us a wake-up call. We're fine
Houston played flawless and the Lakers still had their chances late in the game even though we played awful. We missed a lot of 3's and they weren't all part of Houston's D.

Like I said up there. Lakers in 6 instead of 5 is all this means

I'm pretty sure Houston will make some adjustments too...
From watching the game, I didn't see the Lakers do much wrong, they just got outplayed.

I'd be a tad worried if I were you. I have the Lakers winning, but you can't play that game off like it's no big deal.

josh howard needs to gtfo of the game if he's hurt, we can't play 5 on 4

 

[cruzg24]

JR Smith is torching us again today.... 14 points already.

 

[Mexi]

Lakers/Nuggets is gonna be interesting
I would like it to go 5, but I'm thinking 6 or 7.
I just can't see them coming into Staples and stealing one like Houston did though.

lets see how they respond after an 0-2 hole

lol ahead of my self much?
i'll re-post this in like 2 weeks

I swear one freaking game and everyone is going nuts about the Lakers being a bad team and the Nuggets being the best.
whatever. deep down everyone still believes that no one can stop L.A. except for Cleveland and they are just getting excited about the possibility of Denver beating L.A.
honestly, how would Denver have done if they had to play Houston and Utah as opposed to the Hornets and Mavs?

you can't play that game off like it's a big deal either
since when was 1 game the entire series?

Lakers will win for sure. I'm not worried AT ALL

 

[cruzg24]

Damn Mavs down 2-0. Steep hill to climb, we really needed that last game. Time to win in our place back to back or this series is over.

Game 1 means a lot more than your think. The Rockets have momentum now, and home court advantage.

“Last year we kind of had a cakewalk to the NBA finals, it feels good to be tested a little bit,” he said. “To be champions, you got to go through some stuff. You got to have the resolve to be able to fight through a little adversity and respond, so here it is.”

worked for Boston last year.

cheato will be quoting this next year

and Rip, yeah I know game 1 meant a lot to Houston, but honestly, they cant beat the lakers 3 more times.
Lakers will win tonight. split in Houston, and win it in 6

 

[elcheato]

I'll be quoting it when we go for our 2nd straight title I guess.

 

[RipCity32]

Wouldn't get so cocky Mexi...

What happens if the Rockets win tonight? You in 7?

 

[Mexi]

if houston wins tonight, i'm done with this site forever

i'm quoting your boy here. "they will not win game 2"

 

[RipCity32]

Well you better hope the Lakers come out and play much better lol.

And that's not what Sheed said...

 

[Mexi]

lol what was it then?

i thought he said that in 04 during the pacers series?

 

[RipCity32]

He said "We will win game 2."

Not, they won't win lol.

 

[elcheato]

Cavs are gonna win game 2

 

[Mexi]

He said "We will win game 2."

Not, they won't win lol.

he probably said that another time

here's what i'm talking about

"I'm guaranteeing Game 2. That's the bottom line and that's all I'm saying. They will not win Game 2 and you heard that from me," Wallace said. "Put it front page, back page, middle of the page. They will not win Game 2."

i remember this when i was in 8th grade lol. he had his headphones on

[V23]
