~Official NBA playoffs thread~

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.\'\'

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

Lakers to sweep the Wolves. *yawn*
 

Ouch.

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!  

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.
