Come here to discuss the NBA playoffs, and how the Lakers will be destroyed by the Kings.
-
Wow, it\'s been a year since the last NBA Playoffers thread? I agree, if the Kings and Lakers meet up, the Kings will dismantle them.
GO DALLAS!
-
Celtics one of few teams playing decent right now. Seeds are meaningless in the east...
Go Celts!
-
I love it! Kings fans already forgot last year\'s arse-kickin? Man, no respect for the Lakers. It\'s funny, my girlfriend is a pretty big Kings fan herself, should be alot of tension. I mean, I love her, but I feel so bad that her team is gonna get steamrolled by the Lakers, again, year after year.
[size=10]4-peat[/size]
*changes av, title, and sig*
-
uhmm..guess you weren\'t actually watching the last 2 years b/c if you were, you would know the kings didnt get their asses kicked nor did they get steamrolled.
Try again.
-
Last year the series was surprisingly close, however years prior to that the Lakers didn\'t have much trouble sending the Kings packing.
-
like I said..try again.
-
Ok, maybe our definitions of "steam-rolled or ass-kicking" are different. Fact of the matter is, is that the Lakers have 3 rings, and the Kings have 3 flights home, courtesy of the Lakers. You don\'t get a cookie for getting "close" to beating the champs.
Last season: LAKERS WIN 4-3 (Western Finals)
00\' - 01\' : LAKERS SWEEP KINGS 4-0
99\' - 00\' : LAKERS WIN 3-2 (First Round)
==================================
Lakers lead playoff history (11-5)
-
spew those stats.....
the games were clsoe, hence the not steamrolled comment.
Bulls had 3 in a row..celtics did too...funny they came to an end too.
-
Vivi be talking smack about the Suns by PM.
The glove is thrown down, waiting for a response. :)
I don\'t make predictions about what they\'re going to do, but I feel more confident in this team than I have in years.
I can GUARANTEE you though, that the Lakers will not 4-Peat.
-
Just take a look at the avatar..... ;)
But seriously... Lakers are going to win. God i hate saying that.
BEAT LA
-
I ideally would like: Wolves over Sixers/Bucks
I predict: Kings over Pistons
-
Who wants to start a bracket?
===========================================
*First Round Picks*
===========================================
EAST[/color]
Detroit over Orlando
Philadelphia over New Orleans
Indiana over Boston
Milwaukee over New Jersey
WEST[/color]
San Antonio over Phoenix
Dallas over Portland
Los Angeles over Minnesota
Sacramento over Utah
-
EAST
Detroit over Milwaukee
New Orleans over Indiana
Philadelphia over Boston
New Jersey over Orlando
WEST
San Antonio over Phoenix
Minnesota over Portland
Los Angeles over Dallas
Sacramento over Utah
-
EAST
Detroit over Milwaukee
Indy over New Orleans
Philadelphia over Boston
New Jersey over Orlando
WEST
San Antonio over Phoenix
Portland over Minnesota
Los Angeles over Dallas (come on dallas, win this one!)
Sacramento over Utah
as for Kings being steemrolled? If it weren\'t for the debocle in game 6, with the refs screwing opver the Kings, the Kings would have won the series. Game 7 they blew all by their selves.
-
I was pro-Lakers last year, I\'m tired of them. Shaq has gotten to my last nerve. ;)
I say.... [SIZE=10]DALLAS OVER LA!![/SIZE]
-
I like the mavs and would love seeing them destroy the lakers.... but it\'s not gonna happen. I say the best team against the Lakers would definately be the Spurs. Spurs beat them 4-0 this season, but Lakers only show their colors during the playoffs.
Coredweller, you see how everyone else is saying Spurs will be the sundrops? Get ready to pay up.
:p
-
Before I make my predictions, I must hereby declare that the NBA is trash, and I only watch it out if pure boredom, simply because all of the players are pompous ****s, including Shaq, who has turned into what once was a Traveling Center who was halfway good, but now a Traveling Crybaby.
Basically, my predictions are everything that Tony said, except for the fact that Indiana will beat NO, and, one of the bigger predictions...
Dallas in 7 over the Lakers. Fresh German Hops, my friends.
See Yuz.
-
Everybody might want to wait until all of the games have been played tonight and tomorrow, before you post your brackets. Cuz teams can still change what seed they are......
-

If Minnesota and Portland both win (most likely they will, Wolves get Grizzlies and Blazers get the Clippers tonight), LA gets Dallas in the first round.
Lakers go home in 3. :D:nerd:
-
Oh my gosh... Dallas sucks guys. Lakers have met them 4 times, and have won 3 of those meetings... 3 in a row as a matter of fact.
Lakers will take that in 4. Dallas has NO dominating presence down low that can even stir Shaq.
Screw Dallas.
-
I gotta agree with Vapor, except mavs don\'t suck.
Right now its halftime and Mavs are leading 45 to 41. But that truely sucks since Duncan AND Jackson are injured. :laughing:
-
More or less, Screw you.
Dallas in 7, Shaq\'s a crybaby, and they\'re tired. There\'s a reason these last dynasties have only 3 peated and not gone any farther.
See Yuz.
-
EAST
Detroit - Milwaukee - Despite not having Ben Wallace, Pistons win it in 6.
Indiana - New Orleans - New Orleans playing well going into playoffs, Indiana is not, Hornets in 7.
Philadelphia - Boston - Aside from my bias, Boston is on a winning streak heading into the playoffs but not playing that great, Boston also turns it up come playoff time. Boston in 6.
New Jersey - Orlando - Neither team playing great, New Jersey in 7.
-
Either Pistons or Pacers out of the east
Either Lakers or Kings our of the west
-
Well, since the Pacers aren\'t playing the Hornets, you\'re all wrong. :) The Pacers play the Celtics in the first round because the Pacers are now the 3rd seed after beating NJ tonight, setting up a good 2nd round matchup if Indy and NJ both prevail.
Im gonna say Pacers vs. Kings in the finals, Kings in 6.
-
bah, now I\'ll have to adjust all my matchups. I\'ll just wait for tomorrow before fixing things.
-
me too, that angers me.
-
Celts over Pacers in 6. Celts turn it up come playoff time, this year will be no different.
-
Welp, turns out the Blazers lost to the Clippers so the Lakers are saved from the Mavericks in the first round.... Lucky them. :D
-
Alright, picks are edited. Stupid final NBA games. Doesn\'t make much of a difference, but oh friggin well.
-
/me becomes HUGE Twolves fan
Come on you bastards, and beat LA!
However, if the Lakers do win it won\'t matter because eventually they\'ll have to face the all mighty Kings, and we all know how that will end. Especially with the addition of Keon Clark this season, I see the Kings in 5.
-
fearful of the lakers omen?
Anyway, I don\'t think Lakers are going back to the finals. Its going to be the Kings or the Spurs from the West.
-
I\'m not fearful of the lakers, but our trip to the finals would be alot easier without a trip to los angels.
-
Haha, sounds like fear to me.
Keon Clark? Pffffffffft.... Believe me, the Kings answer was not Keon Clark.
-

Kobe should\'ve done that to Shaq.
Don\'t mind me, I\'m just thinking out loud.
-
Kobe and Shaq are like sisters. They wouldn\'t do that. Man though, Bryant makes Jordan look like his b*tch in that picture.
-
True, Keon Clark isn\'t "the answer". Because the Kings don\'t need an answer. They were 0wning the Lakers last year until game six, where even the biggest of Laker fan boys admitted that the kings got raped by the refs. The Lakers are not unbeatable, like they were 2 years ago. Teams don\'t need an answer to Shaw any more, because teams like Sac, San Antonio, and Dallas have become better and have evened out the playing field.
-
I\'m with omen on this one... Everyone has gotten better these past years while the Lakers have umm.. I don\'t know? And I\'m freeeeeeee free falling........ :D
-
Well there\'s not much room for improvement when you\'re on top.
-
Someone told me that at the end of the season Malone will go to the Lakers. Anyone else heard this?
-
Well, I\'ve thought it over. And if the Kings and Lakers meet up in the playoffs, I\'m going to buy tickets for a game. I haven\'t been to a game all year, so I\'m due. However, if I pay for the tix and the Kings lose the game....I will be PISSED!
-
Yeah, I was thinkin about going on a road trip to see a Lakers game. Problem is, everyone I know hates the Lakers.
-
well theomen bought two new Kings hats, so that he may support his beloved Kings in style.
I also came upon this today;
http://www.worldsportsbook.com/bin/sbodds.cgi?SPORTTYPE=524
it has the Kings 2-1, to win the Championship. The Lakers are 11-5, and the Bucks are a whopping 200-1.
-
It looks like Celtics start their tournament with a bang. Celtics humiliate the Pacers in the 4th QTR. Pierce went 21-21 from the free throw line. Pacers lose first one at home, OUCH.
-
Suns won....
Last second and most unrealistic shot ever... :boom:
-
Well, when you score 1 FG in 8 minutes, you don\'t deserve to win. I thought Pierce got away with a few calls, but whatever. 21/21 FTs...um...wow.
The Suns beat the Spurs in OT after Amare Stoudemire hit a 3 to force overtime, then a last second 3 by Marbury to win 96-95...whew.
-
Looks like the Jazz are giving the Kings a run much like the Suns did to the Spurs....
Go underdogs! :D
*edit*
Kings take the Jazz... 96-90
NJ over Milwaukee
Boston over Indiana
Dallas over Portland :D
Phoenix over SA
-
This one goes out to all you doubters....
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmilies.crowd9.com%2Fcontrib%2Fowen%2Fcouncil.gif&hash=1859e9c2dc5a09f8990e44837fee2bfeba211a42)
:p
-
Stephon=one lucky mofo
I couldn\'t believe that went in, the only thing more surprising was the shot that sent it into OT.
Now for my kings.... I knew this was going to be a tough series. No team in the league gives the Kings more trouble, than the damn Jazz. With their slow down offense, they just give the Kings fits. Luckily we can still beat them, but it frustrating non-the-less.
-
Lakers to sweep the Wolves. *yawn*
Bring on the Kings.
-
Here\'s my western prodictions;
Lakers sweep Twolves
Kings sweep Jazz (however all but one will be close)
Spurs beat Suns 4-1
Mavs win 4-3
Kings beat mavs 4-1
Lakers beat spurs 4-2
Kings beat Lakers in 6
-
Kings beat the Mavs 4-1?
PUHLEASEEEEEEE!
-
The Mavs just don\'t matchup with the kings. I may be wrong, but I think it\'ll be an ugly series for the Mavs. It may go 6 games, but doubtful.
-
I will take the chance and say you\'re wrong. :p
I say the Mavs/Kings series should be the most exciting matchup in the whole playoffs.
-
BAH...
Celtics-Lakers in the finals... oh theres some history there.
-

Oh man, what\'s it going to take for you to revise your image of the Suns? :laughing: Suns win season series vs. Spurs 3-1, Suns take them to OT and beat them in game 1, ... it\'s completely illogical to say that Spurs will win 4 straight! Have you watched any Spurs games this season? Their regular season record is meaningless. The Spurs ALWAYS find a way to blow it when it really matters. First round elimination is totally in keeping with their style over the last few years. Also don\'t forget that David Robinson probably won\'t be playing tonight, and Kevin Willis is suspended for throwing an elbow at Scott Williams. This series is going to keep getting dirtier as the Suns keep winning, and the Spurs express their frustration. Believe it people. :D
-
^^^^^^ Ill have to agree foolhardily with my fellow arizonian
-
I didn\'t know Los Angeles was in Arizona!
Anyways, I hate the Lakers.
GO BULLS!!!!!
oh wait...
-
Luke its like those dumb ole texans once an Arizonian always an Arizonian
-
Core, I like the Suns and I hope they win the series. However, I think that game was a surprise to the Spurs, and they\'ll turn up their intensity now.
-
Yeah, but they won\'t take four in a row. They aren\'t that kind of team that "intensifies". I\'m sorry, but Tim Duncan is not this season\'s MVP. The guy has no emotion, and lacks any ability to fire his team up, hence the lack of intensity. That MVP award should go to Mr. Kobe Bryant, hands down.
All I want is another Lakers / Kings series. Last year was by far the best year for the Lakers because no one believed in them, and they proved the skeptics wrong. This year will be twice as sweet for the Lakers because everyone has forgotten that they are the reigning champs and can only say, "BEAT L.A. ; LAKERS SUCK ; etc."
Four-peat.
Throw those seeds aside, regular season record means jack squat, if I could re-seed according to true talent in the playoffs, Lakers would get either the number one or two spot.
"You can tell by our intensity out there,\'\' forward Robert Horry said, "the playoffs is a totally different game.\'\'
[/b]
-
Well, Spurs beat Suns 84 - 76
Spurs won 18 of their last 19 road games so I don\'t see playing in Phx as a disadvantage. Face it Core, SUNS ARE GOING DOWN. They can\'t make a fluke shot every night.
-
kings dominated the Jazz, without C-Webb. Looks like all hope for the Jazz is gone, because the Kings have started playing playoff ball.
And like I thought, the Spurs took out the Suns, but it was alot closer than I thought it\'d be.
The biggest surprise of the Night, was the first time in years, a Playoff game went untelevised in my area. The Celt Vs Pacers game wasn\'t on any major channel, I can\'t remember the last time a playoff game wasn\'t on ABC, NBC, TNT, ESPN, or TBS
-
Gosh, the Jazz really stunk up the court last night. They matchup so poorly with the Kings it\'s ridiculous. The Kings will sweep them easily. Man, Stojakovic is the man though. I have to give him props, every time the Jazz tried to make a run, he\'d drop a huge 3-ball right on their faces.
-
After watching some REAL Kings ball last night, I\'m kinda looking forward to the Kings Lakers series. I usually dread it because I have fits during close games, but for some reason I want to actually see this series happen.
-
Lakers didn\'t show up at all tonight. Lets take this back in L.A.
-
hehe, sucks to be a Lakers fan
/me waits for irony to bite him in the ass

Ouch. :p
-
The Twolves game last night was so fun to watch. The Wolves are my favorite team in the playoffs, and I really wanna see more of the same. If they can manage to beat LA, that would be incredible for that franchise.
-
Heh heh. Can you imagine how sweet it would be if the Twolves eliminated the Lakers? :) It would feel like the day scientists released the cure for cancer.
That\'s how much the rest of the planet hates your obnoxious self-absorbed showboating team, Vapor. You\'re not even from here, so you don\'t know how unbelievably annoying all the Laker-this and Laker-that crap is.
Of course the Twolves are going to come up short, but that\'s ok. The Kings or Mavs will finish the job, BEEEYOTCH! :D
-
Hey, if Hudson can come up with a couple more games like that, you never know. The Twolves changed their game plan, and it certainly worked. I\'d say they at least have a chance. Or maybe I\'m just a bit too optimistic.
-
Hey the Twolves played great I\'ll give them that. I\'m now a little more worried than I was two days ago, but I know the Lakers will roll on them in L.A.
-

Don\'t be too sure. After all you were sure about that sweep eh?
I don\'t think the wolves will win more than 2 against the Lakers in this series. Seemed like a fluke to me. But I must give KG that he played an amazing game. Anyone see that dunk?
-
I hate the lakers, but they\'ll sweep the rest of the series.
-
Meh, that game really rattled me. I\'m smelling more a 4-2 than a 4-1.
-
4-2 in favor of the Wolves? :o
-
The Lakers future looks pretty cloudy, I wouldn\'t be saying who will win until I see another game between them.
-
Man, the Eastern Conference really is awful.
Indiana\'s scored 28 point almost midway through the 2nd quarter, and they\'re only down 7. Ugly.
See Yuz.
-
Yeah, they stink. West wins again this year.
-
Right now, it looks like the Wolves have a chance to steal one in LA.....
-
down by double digits, in the fourth...is Vapor on Suicide watch?
-
"This is rediculous. This is tragic what\'s happening right now."
- The commentators on the way regulation ended, referring specifically to the officiating.
-
Haha! Overtime! Refs blowin\' the big one as usual, but if its in the Lakers favor, then you\'ll hear no complaining from me.
Kobe\'s 4-pointer was sweet. No contact, but it was a great shot that deserved 4 points anyways. :D
Time to pull through in OT.
-
Uh-oh! Uh-oh! What\'s that? 2-1 Timberwolves?
They win after some of the worst calls I\'ve ever seen against them, and after losing Garnett for overtime. Talk about heart. What a game by this whole team.
-
Ah, shucks. Well I\'ll be the first to say that we didn\'t even deserve to take it into OT, but we blew our free throws. No Kevin Garnett either, geez... Should have taken those open chances.
Down 2-1... Lakers reign could possibly come to an end. I think the next game is the deciding one. If the Lakers don\'t make a run, then their championship days are over.
Go practice your stinking free throws!
p.s. Man, I was thinking. If the Lakers get knocked off by the Wolves, and the Kings end up taking the championship. I think the Kings will be disappointed not to get that revenge they want so much. Hah.
-
^^
I know that I\'d be a little let down that we didn\'t get to get revenge. It would almost feel like we didn\'t earn it.
-
If the Lakers fall, I\'m definately gonna be the TWolves newest fan. Great team to watch.
Wolves > Kings
Garnett > Webber
Eat it. :D
-
that\'s just sad if you believe that. The Wolves are good, but I know that the Kings would trample them. KG and Cwebb would cancel eachother out, Bibby would desimate Hudson, Peja would out score Wally by atleast 10 every game. Vlade would probably just stay even with Jackson and the Kings bench would absolutly slaughter Minnesota\'s. Doesn\'t matter though, because the Lakers will still win, but even if they didn\'t the Spurs would beat the Twolves before they got to the Western Finals.
-
Damn, I had to leave to watch The Real Cancun with my gf (movie sucked, but I liked the boobies! :D ) right after Kobe nailed the free throw to complete the four point play.
Kings > Wolves.... Hands down.
I\'m still looking forward to another Mavs vs. Kings series. :D
-
Yeah, I just said that to piss you off.
-
Vapor has been wrong about everything so far during the playoffs, so I don\'t think Kings will win it :laughing:
-

I won\'t argue that the Wolves are better than the Kings, however you have a few things wrong here.
1. Garnett is better than Webber. Easily. It\'s not even close. Don\'t say they\'d cancel out.
2. Bibby will not necessarily desimate Hudson. Hudson has played better so far in the playoffs this year against a better team.
3. Peja will not outscore Wally by 10 a game. Wally and Peja average about the same number of points, so I don\'t know where you\'re getting that from
I\'m not saying the Wolves will win, but it will be no cake walk for the Kings. Look at what the Wolves are doing to the Lakers. They know how to beat more talented teams, they\'ve been doing it all year. It will be a lot closer than you think, if this series happens.
-
Are you guys THAT sure that the wolves will beat the spurs?!
-
I\'ll clarify why I said what I said.
Webber Vs KG
Kevin is the biggest Offensive option on Min, thus will be doubled every time he touches the ball. While he\'ll get his points, and boards, the constant doubling on him will even out the playing field between him and Cwebb. Also during the season here\'s the stats these two had;
Cwebb: 23 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.58 steals, 1.31 blocks
KG: 23ppg, 13.4 rpg, 6 apg, 1.38 steals, 1.57 blocks
not a big difference
Bibby vs Hudson
True Hudson has played well thus far, but no one can expect him to keep up this performance throughout the playoffs. I also shouldhave put Bibby/Jackson vs Hudson/their other PG, because the Bibby Jackson PG by comitee scores over 30 a game.
And Peja vs Wally
Have you watched the playoffs? ;) Peja can straight up play in the big games now, while Wally is still failing to produce in the NBA\'s second season.
-
Like I said, if the Wolves can beat the Lakers, than they are more than capable of taking out the Kings.
*is buying a Wally Scerbiak jersey this weekend, seriously*
I dunno why, I just like the Wolves.
-
Yeah, because they are OWNING your team. :p
-
A lot of you guys underestimate my team :facelick:
i just cant wait :)
-
Celtics up 2-1, I feel that they\'ll take Saturday\'s game in Boston, but back in Indiana is anyone\'s game.
-
Dallas goes up 3-0.... Yay!
-
Spurs beat Suns 99 to 86 at Phoniex. It looks like Spurs are still pissed about that fluke shot in game 1.
:smokin:
-
Spurs shot them down in Phoniex like I said they would.
In your face Core :bounce:
-
WTF is going on?!
-
Grr....
freak\'n Jazz, how I hate thee. However, the Kings deserved to lose this game, turn over the ball and miss that many freethrows, and you aren\'t gonna win.
-
Well we all know that the Kings are still gonna win.
-
But I wanted a sweep, so that they could have an extra day off before facing the Mavs.
-
Well, Lakers win it.... Barely though. Go Wolves!
-
Pffft... Lakers rule. That game was great, officiating was solid too.
Blazers gonna take down the Mavs tonight.
-
CELTICS!!!! CELTICS!!!
Up 3-1, take that people. Boston always under-rated. This game makes me happy. :) Hopefully, the Celtics will put the Pacers to rest on Tuesday.
-
What is up with the number one Pistons? They\'re getting man-handled out there.
Magic gonna stand 3-1 in about thirty minutes. Gosh it sucks to be a fan of anything in Detroit.
-

Dang did I call that one or what?
Blazers to win the next three, and series. Sorry Mavs.
EDIT: Dang the Mavs couldn\'t even break 80! What a bunch of losers.
-
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
The refs did everything they could to hand game 4 to the Spurs, but the Suns had too much heart to roll over for that. Jake Voskuhl\'s game winning SKYHOOK will give Tim Duncan a lot to think about for the next two days.
As I\'ve said, the Spurs are WEAK, and this isn\'t over yet you doubters.
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
-
I was watching some of the Orlando/Detroit game before going to school... The East is dirt. :(
Mavs had a bad day, closing it next game.... :)

Sure it\'s a loss, but more time for George is great.

GO SACRAMENTO!!!!!
LAKERS SUCK ASS!!!!!
DALLAS SUCK ASS!!!!
GO SACRAMENTO GO SACRAMENTO!!!!!!!!!
-
I h8 the Kings.
If they loose to the f*cking Jazz, I\'ll never watch a game of there\'s again, I\'ll become a god damn Lakers fan.
-
WTF IS WRONG WITH THE KINGS!!!!
THEY BETTER NOT LOSE THIS ONE!!!!
But if they do, Im sticking with them till the end.
-
Suns are gonna get OWN3D Tuesday! I assure you! Spurs will win the rest of the games. :yawn:
-
Ah, my little pep talk worked, and inspired my Kings onto victory...I\'m glad they won because I didn\'t really want to have to burn 500 bucks worth of Kings apparel :)
-
Man the Jazz were owning them too. Peja is a beast from behind the 3-point line. It\'s sickening.

-
Losing to the blazers without Scotty playing is like losing to the Lakers without Kobe. They sucked that game.
-
Spurs won 94-82 . At half it was 54-30, Marbury didn\'t make one shot till 3rd, and the suns not ONCE had the lead. That\'s how bad the spurs are laying on them now. The Suns will lose the next game too.
-
Damn, OT tonight for BOS/IND...
I knew this game was a toss up. It\'s up to Boston to decide if they want to end this tonight or win it back home.
-
TIMBERWOLVES GETTING IT STUFFED RIGHT UP THE OL\' CORNHOLE, IN MINNESOTA.
Bahahahaha!
I love it!
Lakers up 3-2! One game away from round 2!
*buys a Kobe Bryant jersey*
-
Am I hearing things right, because it is 12 seconds left in OT, and the announcer just said, "The Celtics have not scored in overtime."
That is pathetic.
EDIT: GAME OVER, CELTICS DIDN\'T EVEN PUT UP ONE SINGLE POINT IN OVERTIME. RIDICULOUS.
-
Don\'t forget.... It\'s an East game. :)
-
Don\'t forget, Celtics are up 3-2, Pacers were playing for pride.
-
Either that, or both teams suck. One of the two.
Eastern Conference - shit. The end.
See Yuz.
-
Either that...or Paul Pierce got shut down completely...yeah. Pacers are gonna win the next two, watch.
After that performance by Jermaine O\'Neal you\'ve got to at least throw his name in the hat for MVP, 19 points, 23 rebounds. Thats the 2nd time he has had over 20 rebounds this series.
-
Anyone catch the name of the 6th man of the year? My man Bobby Jackson, that sombitch deserved it too. However, I still think the Kings should trade him and Doug Christie next season for the #1 pick :D
-
take out Christie, put in Webber, and add Peja...and they might just do it. :)

East playing for second place, as usual. Nets, Celts, who cares?
-
My 16 NBA Championships cares...
-
Spurs won.
4-2
-
Lakers heading into the fourth with a 6-point advantage... Blew a 17 point lead... geez.
EDIT: HOLY CRAP, Kobe JUST NEVER SEIZES TO AMAZE ME. He\'s on a 10-0 run, and has put up facial after facial, and a slam dunk. Best player evar!!!11111111
-
Lakers vs Spurs, this will be a tough series. If the Lakers play like they did tonight, they\'ll win the series, but if not they\'ll be in for an ass whoop\'n. They can\'t sleep on the Spurs.
As for the Mavs, yeah I know that there\'s a chance of the Blazers take\'n the series, but it\'s a 2% chance. So I restate, bring on da Mavs.
-
I think the Mavs are more than capable of kicking out the Kings. I recall one game between the two where no one could shutdown Nowitski.
I dunno, will be great, as the Lakers and Spurs series will be... But I think we\'re at a point where all teams have a legitimate shot, should be great.
-
I was by no means saying it\'d be a cakewalk for the Kings, even though I\'m confidant we\'ll win. I have a feeling it\'ll be a 6 or 7 game series with at least 1 blow out game.
-
I think this whole situation is just a little too convenient for the Lakers. They get to take on the weak-ass Spurs in an easy skate to the Western Conference Finals, and meanwhile the Mavs and Kings have to beat the crap out of each other.
The NBA playoffs are fixed, at least as far as the Lakers are concerned. I\'m not talking about the Suns series. That was their own fault, but of course I never predicted they would win anyway. I\'m pleased with what they accomplished this season.
-
weak-ass Spurs?
Yeah, the number one team in the regular season is a cakewalk huh?
-
Isn\'t it the Lakers who always say the regular season is meaningless? Anyway it\'s very true.
:) Didn\'t you watch the series that just ended? The 8th seed beat them twice, and came very close to beating them two other times. Rear Admiral is fragile and has no heart. Rose and Bowen have no flexibility. The only impressive players are Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Duncan can be contained, and he\'s slow. The only real threat is Parker.
The Suns are good, but they\'re not ready yet. Any team with more experience should have no trouble whatsoever with the Spurs. You can count on the Spurs to defeat themselves.
-
Quite frankly I think that the Kings have it easier against the Mavs, than the Lakers have it against the Spurs. The lakers and spurs will beat the snot out of eachother, while many analysts think the Kings will manage to beat the Mavs in a less physially demanding fashion.
Also if you look at the regular season record, the Spurs went 4-0 against the Lakers. While the reg season doesn\'t mean much, it does show that the Spurs match up well against the Lake Show.
One thing is for sure, both series will be a joy to watch. To quote the Kings announcer Grant Napear, "If you don\'t like that, you don\'t like NBA basketball"
-
I have to agree with Cored here. Lakers should not have much of a problem with the Spurs. Hope they do though. :p
-
Lakers will win it 4-2. With each game being within no more than 10 points.
-
Just like how the Lakers were supposed to sweep the Wolves ;)
-
Well they finished the series 3-0 against the Wolves. Not a sweep, but I\'ll take it.
-
Voted on the ESPN.com poll earlier today. 50% for the Spurs, 49.9% for the Lakers. Sounds damn even to me. This should be a good series. I\'d take the Lakers though. I think for the Spurs to win, Tony Parker has to go off the way Troy Hudson did.

What are you trash talking for? The mavs might lose even with that 3-0 lead they had over the blazers :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
-
sucks to be a Mavs fan, down 65-38 at the half. Game 7 for this series, and some extra days to rest for the Kings....Feel the Roar!
-
How do you go 3-0 and then 0-3, is there something in the water?
-
Down by 30 in the 3rd quarter....ouch
-
The Mavs always have a streak it seems, winning or losing. They win five, then lose 3. It happened more than 3x this season.
-
Oh my gosh...
Where you at serrano boy?
All I have to say is, GO BLAZERS.
HAHAHAHAHA
-
HAHAHAHA
This just proves how much the Mavs suck.
Quote\'s from friends at school when the mavericks were 3-0:
"Ha Daniel how do you feel now you looser, hater...."etc.
"Told you the mavs were gonna sweep the Blazers"
Quote\'s from friends at school when the mavericks were 3-1:
"Oh they were just tired it, I forgive them this time."
"Next time they\'re gonna win anyways watch"
Quote\'s from friends at school when the mavericks were 3-2:
"GOD IM MAD!! SHUT UP YOU HATER, YOU\'RE JUST HATING ON THE MAVS B/C YOU AINT RICH AND ......"SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT"
"THEY\'RE GONNA WIN THE NEXT ONE WATCH"
ME: "ISN\'T THAT WHAT U SAID ABOUT THE LAST GAME"
Quote\'s from friends at school when the mavs went 3-3:
Haven\'t found out yet....
NEWAYZ
Whoever wins the Kings will give them a major ass kicking.
-
Well the Kings got a couple days off from practise, and Rick Adelman gave an interview on the Local Kings Channel, and it looks like the Kings are becoming playoff vets. You could tell by the way the coach and all the players were handleing themselves that they were ready for who ever comes their way. On another note, Peja was shooting in the background and I never saw him miss during the 5 minute show.
-
Meh, i have no real love for any team but im with the overhyped lakers. They are the yankees of Basketball. I used to like shaq on magic and kobe is alright. Most important of all for us chicagoans would be: Phil Jackson baby. Took the bulls to lengendary (alongside all the great players) and is the master of ZEN. :D
GO LAKERS
-
If Mavs lose, then the Blazers are my new favorite team.
Sound familiar? ;)
-
All of you guys will be suprised with the Spurs, I garuntee it.
-
If the Mavs lose, that is the biggest self destruct from any team... EVER!
-
Being a Blazers fan my whole life(Blazers are the only team Portland has by the way), has showed me anything is possible from the Blazers. Sometime they blow big ass leads, but at other times they could kick anybody asses. So really you can never count them out... Personally I think after game 3, they stopped taking bong hits at half time, and that is way it is 3 and 3....
Go Blazers!
-
ROUND 2 PREDICTIONS:
Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76\'ers - Sorry Detroit, you just got by Orlando, don\'t expect Philadelphia to be any easier, this round your out. Philly in 6.
Boston Celtics vs. New Jersey Nets - Talk about a team with Playoff experience, the Celtics know how to get it done. While the Nets hobbled into the playoffs, they turned it around quickly to post a series win over the Bucks. Both teams had impressive wins in their last games, but the Celtics are just going to score more points. Celtics in 7.
San Antonio Spurs vs. LA Lakers - We head out West where during the regular season the Spurs swept the Lakers, twice without Shaq, and twice with. Talk about a good matchup for the Spurs, they get their series done quickly. Spurs in 5.
Sacramento vs. Dallas - If Dallas\'s last series has shown me anything, its that they can\'t go the distance. Sacramento is simply unbelievable. Kings in 6.
-
76ers over Pistons
Celtics over Nets
Spurs over Lakers
Dallas over Sacramento
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcache.nba.com%2Fmedia%2Fspurs%2Fduncan_235_030504.jpg&hash=b55b77dc599fd3d2d98fea7565734887556d06de)
Mr. MVP! riiiiiiiight :D
-
Pistons over 76ers (in 6)
Celts over Nets (in 7)
Lakers over Spurs (in 6)
Sac or Dallas (in 5)
-
Kobe was robbed of the MVP. I hope he stuffs a fat one in Duncan\'s face.
-
Even though I\'m a spurs fan all the way, I think either KG or McGrady should have got MVP. Definately not Kolby. MVP means that without the player, the team wouldn\'t even be heard of.
-
is it just me, or did the Spurs own the Lakers this season?
-
I smell a repeat ownage. :D
-
Spurs win, Lakers lose...but the real loser was David Robinsons nuts, damn Hory should be suspended
-
George gets hurt. Hmm... Lakers just seem to be exhausted and out of gas. I mean 3 straight championships, and now they\'re barely hanging on. I\'m not gonna say they\'re finished, but I\'m not too optimistic about these playoffs. If George\'s injury is serious, that really hurts the Lakers because they don\'t have much depth at that position.
-
hah hah haaaahhhhh. An injury to a scrub like Devean George is the least of the Lakers problems. When the game starts falling apart, Bryant hogs the ball and decides he\'s going to carry the team on his back (as usual), Horry gets frustrated and swats Robinson in the nuts, O\'Neal fouls out and looks like his fat ass is going to collapse. Such pure Laker style.
Your team is doomed. I didn\'t think it was possible for the weak Spurs to beat them, but now it\'s looking like the Lakers are even weaker. I might actually enjoy this series. :)
-
Hear, hear. :p
-
....
:p
-
Same talk I heard when the Wolves were up 2-1.
If you think that the Spurs winning by a mere score of 87-82, with all those factors against the Lakers you listed, I would be worried.
Lakers were cold, they\'ll come roaring back.

Thats right dammit. Did you see all the bricks that game? Ugly man. Even Kobe was shot. They will pull up. If they get eliminated by the spurs id be pissed. Phil will bring\'em back in the game. :)
-
Well....We 0wns, simple as that
-
MAVS WERE O-W-N-E-D!!
TO BAD THEIR MAIN GUYS SUCKPLISKY AND THE OTHER FOOL BASH DIDN\'T DO SHIT ABOUT IT!!
-
well they did tie for the best record this year...
-
THE spurs sucked, they will not beat the lakers. I would rather see a team like dallas win who has way more talent. I hate the twin towers david and tim suck. Tim gets MVp becuase the league is to bias to give it to garnette. Last year Kid should have got MVP.
Lakers got no fouls kobe got fouled so many times and nothing was called. A game where there is a 35-12 free throw difference who do you think would win. And even with that they only beat the lakers buy 5 and everyone think the spurs got game.
-
:laughing:
Worst point ever.
Spurs are missing free throws and still won.
You want to talk about fouls? How about Robinsons nuts being slapped and Tim Duncan\'s eye being SLAPPED by KB. wtf? sore losers
What the Lakers must fear is the fact that Spurs are the best road team in the league, spurs have been missing free throws (which can change at ease) and Duncan not even shooting 50%.
Face it, Lakers are done for.
-
^^^
I agree. Except about the MAV part. SPURS AND MAVS BOTH SUCK, SIMPLE AS THAT!
It\'s no fun anymore, all the MAV\'s fans at my school are switching over to the SPURS. They just gave up hope with the mav VS. Kings.........I would too but man they should have a little faith you know...:):):):):)
N*E*WAYZ I want the Spurs to win. But GO LAKERS!!!
-
Spurs won\'t win? I see 17 points at halftime that say otherwise.
-
4 peat...not happening. I was getting sick of the Lake Show anyway.
-
Spurs are now leading 2-0 :)
And this time it was by a mere 19 points :laughing:
-
30 points by the end of the 3rd quarter, 114-95 loss. Lakers are stinking up the place. Time to head back to Staples....
-
I was at my girlfriend\'s house and didn\'t even bother watching. Like I said, it was a great run, I\'d hate to see it end, but we\'ve had more than our fair share of time in the spotlight.
When the Lakers fall down, I\'m gonna root for the team playing against the Kings so I don\'t have to hear my girlfriend rub it all in my face. Yes, that is right, a Lakers fan and a Kings fan, dating.
-
ALRIGHT! A defeatist post from Vapor! Music to my ears. :D
"CAN\'T STOP US" ?????

Everyone good is out :( Oh well, go Pistons, Spurs, Kings, in that order.

3 more wins please. ;)

lol...man you\'re stupid.
How can the Spurs suck? They finished with the best record in the regular season while 0wning the Lakers in the season series 4-0. Too biased to give it to Garnett? I think Garnett should have won too, but how the hell was it a biased decision?
Out of Kobe\'s 38 shots in game 1, 33 were jumpshots. Not gonna get many called fouls on jumpshots, pal.
And what happened in Game 2 when the Lakers got the slight advantage in fouls called, and still were down by 30 before garbage time.
Ahh...it feels good to see the Lakers lose.
-
too angry to type....
-
i\'m suprised you show yourself, that was FUGLY!!
-
Not to mention Chris Webber and Bobby Jackson being questionable for game 3. But they\'ll suck it up, they don\'t wanna get owned again. Right? :o
-
Go Niners......
-
Quddos\' whole post was blown away by game 2. And now tonight Spurs will prove how good they are on the road.
-
/me shakes his head...
anyway, I always liked baseball better...
-
:laughing:
Maybe they\'ll pull a Trailblazers?
-
ummm... even as a Celtics fan...
NO, tonight was it as far as I\'m concerned. Unless the Nets starters come down with syphyllus or something, I\'m screwed... it didn\'t matter though no East team is going to beat a Western team, so its not like any team in the East is going to get rewarded for second place.
-
Damn them Lakers. They are gunna win tonight. From where im watching it the score is 38-50 lakers with 11:25 in the 3rd. I hope they dont loose. Eventhought it would be nice to see some new champs.
-
Game 3 = 100% BS reffing
I haven\'t seen such one sided reff\'s since the Lakers - Kings series from last year.
O well, you win some you lose some. We are 1/2 way to winning the series, no biggie.
-
Yeah they won.
*EDIT*
In other news, Chris Webber is out for the rest of the post season. :eek: This is good news for Dallas!
An MRI exam revealed a torn lateral meniscus requiring arthroscopic surgery. The Kings said Webber\'s rehabilitation will require a minimum of four-to-six weeks.
-
Haha... Man, the playoffs suck.
-
Sure they do. :rolleyes: I seem to be enjoying them.
Mavs take double OT thriller. Wohoo. :D
-
I\'ve given up on the NBA, C-Webb is out and the Kings have NO chance. This was going to be their year, but since god hates me they had to have a freak injury. So all I have to say is Go Niners, Falcons, Yankees, Giants and A\'s (I\'ve got to have a winner in there somewhere)
-
Well the Kings are about to take this game.
Kings - Mavs: 2-2
Lakers - Spurs: 2-2
Oh yeah!
-
I\'m not saying the Kings have a real chance.....BUT if they manage to win it all this year, it will be one of the most storied championships in recent history (so many side stories that sports writers love)
-
I don\'t expect every foul to be called, but I\'m tearing my hair out watching the games in LA
-
For a team that is not deep, the Celtics really came through this season. Good Job Jim O\'Brien, best of luck to you next year. They will be a team to watch out for next year.
Good Luck to NJ in the Eastern Finals, and best of luck to Jason Kidd wherever he goes, which at this point looks like San Antonio.
-
The Kings do have a chance, even without Webber. That team has so many weapons its not even funny.....
-
Oh BTW, my new favorite team...
GO Mavs!!!
-
This is still dragging on? Oh, yeah, NBA Playoffs. Woo I think.
*continues to watch the NHL Playoffs*
See Yuz.
-
Lakers down 3-2
Kings down 3-2
:(
-
Hopefully both series will be closed out by the weekend. :D
-
well if the Kings loose, I have no team I care about in the playoffs. About the only team I\'d like see win it would be the mavs, souly because I\'d want to see a new champion (no lakers or spurs)
-
Spurs have got to stay tough even when they are leading by 20 in the fourth quarter. I don\'t think they\'ll make that mistake again.
-
Alright, I bet you guys have been waiting for this reply in two years.
Well the Lakers gave it their all, and played with a champion\'s heart till the final buzzer. What can I say? The Spurs are just a better team. The Lakers look exhausted to say the least, I say we take this loss, relinquish the throne, and come back next year.
I\'m gonna root for the Mavs here on out, I like their team a lot. Good run Lakers, thanks for those great three years of basketball.
....Go NINERS!
-
W00t. Less than 4 minutes left. :D
-
Na Na Na Na... Na Na Na Na... Hey hey hey.... GOOOOOOD BYEEEEEEEE
-
All I can say is that Kobe is still the Man. The Purs had more goto guys than the lakers. Shaq and kobe just couldn\'t do it all bye themselves this time. Fisher is so sad as a point guard. Parker just owned him tonite.
Fisher cried for what? He let parker walk all over him fisher is sad. Phill has one more year left and I bet he is gone after next season. Shaq is gone once phill leaves and Kobe did not sign a extension.
I won\'t watch the rest of the playoffs unless it is the east(detroit).
The Queens are no good without there queen B webber. If webber was here I would say the Queens are champs. I\'m rooting for the Mavs I hate Duncon and Robinson I don\'t want them to win nothing.
-
Bah, you\'re just a sore loser. Kings nothing without webber? They are bringing the mavs to game 7, thats something to brag about. It\'s good to know that my team shot down the cocky 3 year champs :thepimp:
-
Today is a great day of joy in the land. The worthless Lakers take a much needed vacation. :p
Let\'s face it, it was inevitable. The Lakers have been badly mismanaged lately. They have two championship-caliber players, and almost the entire rest of their team are SCRUBS. Two players do not make a championship team. The Spurs, Mavs and Kings have all been successful because they have a deep cast of qualified players.
Meanwhile, Phil Jackson puts Devean George, Jannero Pargo, Kareem Rush, Slava Medvedenko, and Mark Madsen on the floor. WTF? These guys are barely qualified to operate the equipment locker. They should NOT EVEN BE ON THE FLOOR in a playoff elimination game. The Spurs have Steve Kerr on their roster, and they don\'t even use him! If he were with the Lakers, he would probably be getting 18 minutes per game.
If I were a Laker fan, I would feel deeply cheated at the way the Lakers organization has been focusing on marketing, showboating, slam dunking, and overpaying Bryant and O\'Neill at the expense of building a viable, reliable TEAM for long term success. Who knows? Maybe after three consecutive championships, none of that matters anymore. What else is there to work toward? If I were a Laker fan I would have died of boredom long ago.

Sigh* Yup they lost. Oh well. Your right, in actuality i was really only rooting for kobe, shaq and a couple others. I like phil jackson as well but the whole team isnt full of allstars. To me it is really sad that the spurs dont really use steve kerr. Being a Chicago native and having seen many bulls games i can honestly say that kerr is a really great player and should be out on the court. Oh well, i guess ill just have to stop rooting and watch in peace, or take sides with another team :D
-
Well, maybe they can work a deal to get Scottie Pippen back.... Maybe even Karl Malone. IMO, their existing starters ain\'t all that bad. Cut Fisher some slack. It\'s their bench that needs major help.
-
One word:
Horryble.
What did he miss, 27 straight three point shots in the playoffs?
-
It\'s hard to shoot a 3, especially against the spurs. Give him a break.
-
Texas showdown...
-
f*ck the NBA, seriously f*ck the NBA...
/me waits for football season
-
^^^ I\'m with dis guy.
Lakers vs. Kings in a Western Conference Final showdown was the only thing worth watching in the playoffs.
Well here\'s to the Champion San Antonio Spurs.
Go Niners!
-
What you talking about?
Go Dallas..... I hope. :D
-
DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!
Well there isn\'t a reason to watch the NBA anymore. Spurs vs. Dallas???
WHO CARES!?
THEY BOTH BLOW.........
Like my other fellow Sacramento fan said.....GO NINERS!!
-
That means the Lakers and Kings blow even more because they got beat by teams that blow. :nerd:
-
Sac would have annihlated Dallas if it weren\'t for injuries, so don\'t go there.
-
I\'m sorry omen, but this is proffessional sports, you can\'t make excuses for losses. Sacremento got beat because Dallas played better, no excuses. If Sacramento was that damn good they wouldn\'t have needed whoever was injured.
BTW, I\'m glad the best two teams are playing in the western finals, because thats what it always comes down to.
-
The fact that you say "whoever was injured" proves you don\'t know what you\'re talking about. Chris Weber was their best player. You think a team losing their best player should not have any effect? Give me a break.
-
If Sacramento was meant to win it, then they would have.
-
So your saying they had a great player, not a great team.
/me shoots and scores!
-
the hurricane misses the rim and hit\'s someone in the cheap seats
Every single great team in history has had their go to guy. The Bulls with Jordan, The Celtics with Bird or earlier with Russel, the Lakers with Shaq. None of these teams would have done what they did without their leaders. Sure the supporting cast can help them beat the average team, but when teams are so evenly matched in the playoffs, it\'s the superstars who make the difference. Hurricane, your point is moot.
-
Lets have Shaq, Bird, Weber, Russel, or Jordan play a game by themself...
I don\'t see them winning many games. tssk... tssk...
point, counter point
-
Sac would have annihlated Dallas if it weren\'t for injuries, so don\'t go there.
Wouldn\'t say annihilated... ;) It isn\'t Sacramento\'s time. Yeah, it was too bad Webber was out, but tough.
Anyway, Dallas wins again. 3 more games and we\'re off to the finals! w000000t
-
^^
At the least, it would have been a much better series than it was.
As for Hurricane.... Am I the only one who thinks he\'s on drugs? ;)
-
He\'s a Red Sox fan... what do you expect? :rolleyes:
:p
-
West coast basketball fans are non-existant anyway, they just seem to pop up whenever the lakers are around. But it seems as if now that no west coast team is in it anymore, basketball now "sucks".
-
:laughing:
I garuntee you SER, dallas will NOT get a game 7. Spurs have a tendency to learn from losing games, and you will be eating those words.

You\'re just taking a shot in the dark here... however I agree with regard to Laker fans and Warriors fans, two species I know all too well. Clipper fans are very rare freaks of nature, but MOST Sacramento fans are extremely rabid and loyal. Your claim doesn\'t hold for them, or Sonics / Blazers fans as far as I can tell.
WTF is wrong with it anyway? It\'s normal for a TRUE fan to get bored with the playoffs after their team is eliminated. There are two forces that drive my interest in the NBA. HATE and LOVE. Between these two, the stronger is hatred. :) I watch the Suns because I love that team, and I continue watching the playoffs because I enjoy seeing teams I hate get eliminated. This has been a good year for that, and I hope it continues. :D
-
Gotta agree with The Hurricane here, oh and the lakers suck! Woohoo, its better to see them lose than seeing my fav team win. (though I don\'t have a fav team :))
-
the argument isn\'t about Western fans, it was about whether or not a team needs it\'s superstar, inorder to win in the playoffs. That\'s why I called Hurrican a drug fiend.
-
Actually what he\'s arguing about a few pages back.....And a very good point he makes. How you all said the playoffs suck and you aren\'t going to watch because of your team losing. :D
-
Spurs didn\'t let it happen again :)
-
Nowitzki is out for game 4, not looking good for the mavs
-
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
STEVE KERR IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You all suck. Because your teams got knocked out you all cry about it.
-
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND! WEEEEE\'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TILL THE ENDDDDDDDDDDD. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS WEEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! NO TIME FOR LOSERS CUZ WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.... OF THE WORLD!!!!
:smokin: :smokin: :thepimp: :thepimp: :fro: :fro: :bounce: :bounce: :D
-
Stupid Spurs.....Wait I didn\'t really care about the playoffs this time. But I was hoping the Nets would win....oh well, as long as the mavericks didn\'t make it and the team they lost against did...IM HAPPY!!
-
Jason Kidd to San Antonio
-
Spurs look like they\'re going to win next year too. They have a lot of money to spend on incoming player, and even more since Robinson retired.
