NBA Playoffs round 2

See, you have to realize something Fayded.  Just because you hate someone doesn\'t mean they\'re bad.  Also, you\'re basing your opinion on him on only a handful of games.  That just shows the ignorance you\'re posting with.

Well since my teams basically sucked this year (Heat lol, and Pacers) I\'ve spent most of the playoffs rooting for the Kings and the Pistons.  If you could only put Detroit\'s defense with the Kings offense, wow that would rule, anyway predictions...

Nets in 6
Pistons in 7
Lakers in 6
Kings in 5

About AI...he is so overrated its not even funny.  Mutumbo used to shoot a lot more before being traded to the Sixers, now he has to do the grunt work and get rebounds off of Iverson\'s misses.

About Kobe being as good as MJ, please.  Kobe has Shaq, who did Jordan have during his  early twenties? plus Jordan didn\'t come out of highschool so Kobe had been in the league a lot longer when comparing them both at 23.  Put any good player with Shaq and watch them become great.

Shaq is the glue that holds the Lakers together, without Shaq the open shots for Fisher, Bryant, Horry and Fox wouldn\'t come, Shaq commands the double team and in turn kicks it out for the wide open 3.

Im telling you, put Shaq on ANY team in the NBA with a good SG/PG and watch that team do a number in the playoffs, if not win the Championship.

shock Garnett is no doubt one of the best players in the league, but he also has good players to pass to and rely on, thats why he is unselfish. Tracy McGrady on the other hand is probably one of the most versatile players in the league, he basically carried his team to the 4th or 5th spot in the East.  The East isn\'t exactly easy to get into the playoff hunt.  Put another superstar that isn\'t CONSTANTLY injured on TMac\'s team and watch the W\'s come, like for example Tim Duncan after his contract is up next year.... ahh the possibilities.

They did try to get Duncan on the Magic a few years back.  Of course, if they had gotten him, they would have gotten him and Hill, not him and McGrady.

Anyway, McGrady does have Miller to kick it out to, and Miller can be a damn good shooter.  Garnett really doesn\'t have much more of a supporting cast, especially with Brandon out.

There are lots of teams that could be great if they just had one more superstar.  I mean, imagine if Duncan went to the T-Wolves.  They\'d dominate as well.

You Iverson haters no nothing. Here is a guy with cracked ribs, broken cheek bone and still suited up and led his team the NBA finals last season.

Cracked Ribs my ass, I\'ve had cracked ribs before and theres no way in hell he could play at all.

I don\'t think he had cracked ribs either, they were probably bruised.  Wally is a good player shock...and having two of the best PFs in the league would um rock, but Garnett and Duncan each want too much to be able to keep them both.

Duncan would play C if that happened, but it never would.  The only negative part of Garnett is his huge contract, which has unfortunately hurt the T-Wolves quite a bit.

Garnett doesn\'t deserve the biggest contact in the NBA. You replace him with another decent PF, and the T-Wolves still make the playoffs.

And yes, Kobe can be replaced on the Lakers with another decent PG and they\'d still be in the hunt for the championship. But if you replaced Shaq for a decent center the Lakers would be fighting to get past the first round.

And shock, don\'t get me started with ignorance...

Garnett\'s contract is a big one, but it isn\'t like he doesn\'t put up numbers to support it. He plays night in and night out bustin his ass. He needs a better supporting cast most definately.

Yes, the Lakers franchrise revolves around Shaq, it\'s so obvious. It\'s so evident that when he retires, Phil is going to also. But in terms of Lakers success today, you need all the elements they have. Shaq for paint dominance, Kobe for defense penetration, and Fisher/Horry for clutch threes.

Well the T-Wolves can\'t sign anyone else to help because he has a monster contract. I have a feeling Garnett will be traded sometime in the next two years.

I have a feeling that Minnesota isn\'t that stupid.

Remember, they did have Marbury too, he just couldn\'t take the idea of being 2nd best on his team.  They could get another player, perhaps sometime down the road.  However, Garnett is worth every penny of what he\'s paid.

I was hopin\' for the following:

Pistons vs Hornets

Lakers vs Mavs

and a final of

Pistons vs Lakers

Lakers in 4. = World champs

Umm Iverson missed a lot of games this season and mutombo still sucked ass this year. The guy is washed up and overrated. 5-6 years ago he was something but as of now the guy is a joke.

Garnett doesn\'t deserve the biggest contact in the NBA. You replace him with another decent PF, and the T-Wolves still make the playoffs.

For that very comment I say you know **** about basketball.

Iverson doesn\'t have a team to work with? Well, last time I checked, Mutumbo was the best center in the East. But I guess we\'ll just ignore him. Last I checked, Coleman, who averaged nearly a double double this year, wasn\'t that bad either. I also wonder how Eric Snow got to be so bad (even though he leads the team in assists). You know where Iverson was missed when he was out? On the defensive end. He is a damn good defensive player, if you watch him. Offensively, he shot below 40%. No team is going to miss a player offensively that shoots like that

You sound stupid. Like I said before  Mutumbo is done. The east has no other real center but Alonzo Morning and Zo at 100% will **** all over Mutombo. You sound even more dumb saying the sixers do not miss Iverson points when he is not in the game?That is why they can\'t win a playoff series without him. And they have a ****ty record when is not in the lineup. And you loose all credibility with me mentioning DC. DC is the most laziest slowerst PF in the game he just refuses to get better. Thats one reason he bounced all over the league.

Did I mention Kobe made All-NBA team this year, QuDDus? Hmm, AI didn\'t.

Man you three say stuff you would hear elementry kids saying about B-ball. Man Iverson made the team last year. He missed too many games to qualify this year duhhhhhhh!!!!!

About Kobe being as good as MJ, please. Kobe has Shaq, who did Jordan have during his early twenties? plus Jordan didn\'t come out of highschool so Kobe had been in the league a lot longer when comparing them both at 23. Put any good player with Shaq and watch them become great.

Are all of you over 10?? I swear It seems like I am talking to grade school kids. Omg what does shaq have to do with Kobe having unbelievable talent?? Shaq has nothing to do with Kobe having the talent he has. OMG you kids.

I\'m not even gonna bother with QuDDus anymore. You just cut out all my work, no need at making you look any dumber than you are already.

I just got finished watching game 4, Kobe was MVP with the little hook and the crucial rebound. Scored more points than the entire Spurs team in the 4th quarter.

*Also notices that there isn\'t any IVERSON tonight, perhaps he\'ll put together another press conference just to make sure theres some spotlight shed on him, even tho the Sixers aren\'t in the Playoffs anymore..what a shame!*

AI doesn\'t physically train, cause he was never known on taking the extra step in staying in physical shape.

Hahaha you should look at your own statements before passing judgement.

You say we all sound like little kids, then you come back with "You\'re so stupid." Man...

And yes, they would still make the playoffs with a decent to good PF. Like Elton Brand for example. He\'ll be awesome in a couple years, just watch. And if they got him (which I HIGHLY doubt) they would still make the playoffs. Him and Wally could become pretty good together if Wally got his head out of his ass. But since they wont get Brand, Garnett should think about lowering his contract so he can get some more talent around him. Then they might not lose in the first round....
