Well the football thread has been started so lets get the NBA thread going

Only a couple of games left till the playoffs so who is taking home the hardware?????????

Since NG started off the football thread I will start this one off

Have to go with the home team Yes the SUNS with the 3 peat MVP Nash and comback player of the year Stoudemire

Deja Vu huh Dbarb :wink: Well for my homer pick, I'll go with the LAKE-SHOW BABY!!! That's right folks, Kobe will bring the trophy back home to L.A. were it belongs :nuts:

Ng

Deee-troit!

Deee-troit!

Hey your avatar looks familiar...You didn't happen to get in a fight with Ron Artest at the palace? :lol:

Ng

Glen Frey said it the best............

THE HEAT IS ON !!

Back to back trophies for the Heat!!:one:

All hail Dwayne Wade!!:bow:

Deja Vu huh Dbarb :wink: Well for my homer pick, I'll go with the LAKE-SHOW BABY!!! That's right folks, Kobe will bring the trophy back home to L.A. were it belongs :nuts:

Ng

Kobe put up some big numbers last night :confused: :confused: :lol: :lol: Hmm make that small. Was it 17 points :confused: who did they lose to oh yes the SUNS. Kobe is scared of the SUNS he will chocke again just like last yet and watch the SUNS go to the next round :nuts:

EDIT are the fakers even over 500?

Here we go again Dbarb, Deja vu!!! Just like last year Lakers vs. Suns in the first round.

My homer pick...The Mighty Lake Show :D

Realistic pick...Lakers hopefully will win at least one game. Last year's series didn't include Amare :eek:

Ng

grew up in michigan (outside of ann arbor - s.lyon) so I always love to see the Pistons do it. But I live in the bay area of California now...so I am really excited for Golden State. I don't usually get into local teams out here - I am a wings, tigers, pistons and will proudly admit a Lions fan all the way. ;-) but I'm excited for the Warriors. 13 yrs is a long time!

True enough once again we meet :D I would not expect or except any less from you taking the "The Mighty Fakers Show" err I mean Lakers.

I think the Lakers will take one and best guess they take 2 games.
Kobe will go off on one of those wins and wear the suns down for the win.

Should be fun with Amare in the playoffs this year. I think thats what kept them out of the finals with the heat last year, the fact he was hurt.

MVP Nash :thumb: :one:

Let me offer you my handy OFFICIAL Lions fan "paper-bag-for-over-your-head." I think I have a spare around here somewhere ... :lol:

As far as my NBA pick, it's Pistons all the way for me. Pistons in 6 over Dallas.

In less than one hour, game 1, Lakers vs. Suns...Who ya Got??? :D

Go Lakers!!!

Ng

This homer has to go with the Pistons
:twothumbs

:lol: Well Lakers down 1 game :D I missed most of the game, Kobe did what he could in the first half, but with no help he can not beat the suns alone.

NG if your Lakers are to make it the rest of the team needs to step up. Kobe is going to get Pi$$ed off something if he does not get some help.

What about that LB. 6th Man award goes to him this year :thumb:

Better start going for Dallas, as it will be Dallas and Da Suns in the conf finals :D

My heat lost yesterday :-( boo hoo

:

:one: :thumb: I call it :nuts: :nuts: :lol:
Get ready to hear Nash 3rd time MVP

:eek: :laughabov Is that all you got :confused: :lol:

24 hour rule :mad:

Ng

Tonight is Pay-back time!:nuts: That's right Dbarb! Game two and the Mighty Lake Show will be even with the Suns! Kobe goes off, this time for the whole game, and the series will be tied! Who ya Got!!! :eek:

Ng

Kobe will go off, I give you that :bow: but the rest of the team will forget to show up again. Lakers will not take a game till they get home.
They will get the series tied then fall apart at that time once again.
Koybe will get mad, and quit playing just like the rest of the team.

Then he gets mad when once again he is out voted for the MVP

24 hour rule :mad:

Ng


The way game 2 is going may want to make that a 48 hour rule :D :p:

Kobe will go off, I give you that :bow: but the rest of the team will forget to show up again. Lakers will not take a game till they get home.



I called it. Well ok Kobe forgot there was a game to play also. What did he have 15 points :confused: I think the suns bench players each had more points than Kobe :lol:

You knew the lakers gave up once you seen Nash was on the bench for all of the 4th.

Here we go Suns :one:
Laker Fans where you at :confused: Oh wait got the 24-48 hour cool of time :lol:

Cmon game 3, this is where the Lakers finally wake up and get goin!!! Victory shall be ours!!! :red:

Ng

Cmon game 3, this is where the Lakers finally wake up and get goin!!! Victory shall be ours!!! :red:

Ng

I hope so. They way they played last night I am not sure if they will. But you know how Phil Jackson is, he will find a way to wake this team up.

Dont like to agree with you and go agaisnt the suns, but the lakers should come out pi$*ed off and win.

Notice anytime I have agreed the suns win :D

My heat lost yesterday :-( boo hoo

Heat now down 2.:red: Hope they can make a comeback and neuter the Bulls!

yes please someone wake them up. Embarrasing to get beat champions one year out in the first round this year.

Notice I'm not complaining with my boys up 2 on Orlando ... tell the truth I'm more worried about my hockey boys drawing San Jose in Round 2 ...

Where you at NG :confused: As I dont need a 24 hour waiting time :lol:

I :bow: to Kobe he did step. Took him a little while to find his groove but he keep the Flakers alive another game.

I still say he can not carry that team thru a 7 game series. The rest of the team better step up.

Suns will come back mad and take game 4 :thumb:

Right here Dbarb! First off that was a good game that could've went either way :eek: I'm just glad they got at least one win :D

That Suns team is tough, just too many good players...Amare is the real deal, Nash is the best PG in the business and Barbosa would be a starter on most NBA teams.

That said I'm a Laker fan so you're about to see the Lake Show win the next three and move on to the second round! :nuts:

Ng

Suns will get the next game 3-1 then Lakers 3-2 then the suns will take the last game.
Lakers do not have as deep of a bench so it will wear on the starters.
Phil and Kobe are both winners and know what it takes, just seems the rest of the team lacks heart to finish the game.
Should be good the next few games. On a side note the NBA needs to stop dragging this out just for the money. Play the games and stop having so much off time, this is the playoffs baby :thumb:

The Heat are gone :eek: Swept by the Bulls :confused: Looks like the Suns will get the title.
ok time to watch the Lakers looooooose :D :nuts:

That said I'm a Laker fan so you're about to see the Lake Show win the next three and move on to the second round! :nuts:
Ng

Next 3 :confused: :nono: Laker Fans :nono: Notice you all are keeping to yourself.

Ng I understand you need your 24 hour :D

Hey at least we got one win! :one: :nuts:

Ng

The suns should wrap it up at home, but knowing Kobe and Phil they both will do some @$$ chewing on the rest of the team.

Lets go SUNS :one:

how about my warriors! I'm loving this. I do feel bad for AJ. I like Avery as a coach.

That was an awesome Warriors Game tonight...one more to go and bye-bye Dallas!

The heat gone and now Dallas is almost gone :confused:
Both teams from last years finals out in the first round WOW

The Heat are gone :eek: Swept by the Bulls :confused:

:red: :red: Defending champs swept in first round..........how embarassing.:red:

Anyone got a paperbag I could use?

What about the Warriors? Are they even in the playoffs? Who let them in? :lol:

Tell me about it damn win went to everybodys head. Add all the injuries all year and that we should have brought in another gaurd not payton and williams.

SUNS WIN :nuts: :nuts: Lakers are once again kicked out in the first round :nuts: :nuts:

I am sure Ng is still not happy and will need time to speak up. But thats ok

SUNS WIN :banana: :banana: Lakers 1 and done :lol:

Up next the Spurs

NG good series. Kobe played hard and tried to carry the team, Odem stepped up and tried to help out, but the rest of the team seemed flat. Maybe the Lakers will get him some help, cause Kobe is great but not able to carrry a team alone to the big dance.

Ditto. Suns were just too tough of a matchup for the Mighty Lake Show :eek: There's at least 4 all-stars on the Suns team compared to one Kobe Bryant for the Lakers. Kobe just can't do it himself. Good luck against the Spurs, they should make it a tad more competitive. If the Suns make it past the Spurs they'll be my pick to win it all. :thumb:Right now it's still up in the air...

Ng

Dallas is GONE :bow: :thumb: Like Ng said once the suns get past the spurs they should make it all the way.

Lets go Suns:thumb: :one:

Detroit Basketball!

Who let them in???

How bout Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Jason Richardson, and the rest of the Warriors....Believe it!

They will be swept in the next series! They don't even belong in the playoffs :eek:

Ng

hmm...let me guess, the clippers should've been there right NG? ;-)

If the warriors play Houston next it will be the same thing all over.

Go Warriors!

Of course, I'm a Detroit fan...so Go Pistons too!. That series should be great...Chicago vs Detroit. Woo Hoo.

I think I'm parked in front of the tv all day tomorrow. Wings are on at 11, pistons on at 4 and houston/utah game after that. I love it.

They will be swept in the next series! They don't even belong in the playoffs :eek:

Ng

Ah, a non-believer.;) Let's see how they do eh? So, did Dallas belong in the playoffs? :thumb: Not anymore....

SPURS WILL DO IT....

That was only one game :p: and spurs only won by a couple of points. I missed the first half, but what I seen was a good game. I will say that was one hell of a head shot Nash and Parker took :eek: . Nash got the worst of it but seemed ok after the game.

This will go to 7 games and bet down to who gets the last shot off.

Yeahhh! Suns are dead in the water! So much for winning it all this year hey Dbarb? :p: Go Spurs :lol:

Ng
Next years Champs...The mighty Lake Show!:cool:

Another quality post...

Game 4 today, Pistons-Bulls. 'Sheed and the gang try to maintain their perfect post-season vs. the Windy City Steers. :thumb:

lol wishful thinking bro!!
:nuts:

I didnt see most of the game, only the 4th. From what I seen Suns missed alot of shots and can only blame themselfs for the lost.
But with that said to me it looked like some blowen calls from the refs.

Suns have a big hole to get out of Monday night, they needed to steal game 4

Let's go Nets

yea there were several calls and no-calls that didnt go good for either side...
and the suns missed alot of shots too...
if they dont get this next game, they will have tremendous pressure to get one at home, spurs will still have to play hard but it wont be the same as for the suns...

If you watch how the suns play, the play better most of the time better under pressure. Reg season and playoffs. :confused:

Think about the suns lakers and suns spurs so far. Must win games they win no clue why but they need to play all games as must win

Next few games should keep everyone heart racing

Spurs go up 3-1 :nono: :nono:

WTF was that cheap shot from Horry at the end of the game :confused:

Anyway Suns had to dig deep to pull this one out. They needed the win, and get a win on the spurs court. They need to shake off the calls that went agaisnt them and just regroup back at home.

Still think this will go 7 games and just like tonight who ever has the ball last will win.

i know, that was a hard foul that did deserve to get him ejected.... i guess he got frustrated in that there were a few no calls on him... but still thats not an excuse....

yea that was a damn game....great ball game....yea i think this will go to 7....ah well both excellent teams

Lets hope it does not turn into a blood bath. Suns down 2 players Wed. night, Spurs down 1 player 2 games. Wish I could get tickets for game 5 or 7.

In the east it looks like the pistons are the better team, but getting a run for thier money from the bulls. This could also be a preview of who from the east gets into the finals.

spurs or suns VS bulls or pistons in finals

well when it coems down to it... im GLAD that the damn LAKERS or HEAT arent in it.... the hell with kobe and shaq....:thumb:

I will say good game tonight. Had to watch lost at the same time good thing I have a PIP TV :D
Game has kept me on the edge of my seat, the last few minutes have had my heart stopping and restarting :lol:
Game 6 should be another great game. Even with the suns leading most of the game Spurs kept the suns under 100 points and they dont win many games that way.

If Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw would have played I think the suns would have got the best of the spurs.

Good game see you in game 6 :smile:

hell after the 1st quarter i changed the channel....i didnt get it back on till the start of the 4th and iw as like damn...

i think next game in SA....we'll see what happens....suns back with thier 2 guys.... ughhhh

Series MVP for the Spurs = Robert Horry :mad: The Suns were robbed :cussing:

Ng

Series MVP for the Spurs = Robert Horry :mad: The Suns were robbed :cussing:

u think? nah suns played hard as hell..spurs beat them

spurs mvp? dunno, duncan for sure..qho knows...

spurs v. jazz? spurs of course~

New Finals prediction:

Pistons (win in 5 over Lebron and Company, formerly known as the Cleveland Cavaliers) vs. Spurs (win in 6 over a Utah team lucky enough to draw the Warriors in the 2nd round). Rematch of the '05 Finals goes the distance again, but this time Detroit comes out on top.

DeTROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!

:cussing: :cussing: :mad:

I would like to say I agree with you Ng, but the suns were not robbed, they blew it. They had control and most of the 5th and 6th game.

Horry is a :censored: that was a cheap foul he really always has been a dirty player when he gets the chance he takes the cheap foul.

Ducan Parker came thru when they were needed.

If you ask me that was the finals as the jazz do not have have a chance in 7 games, they will be done in 5 6 at most

Finals will be Pistons and Spurs and Spurs win in 6

ok here we go

SPURS in the FINALS...

i tink pistons will take the east

so SPURS v PISTONS...

damn i love my spurs... but hell this will be close

i think the pistons might take it.. UGH give me a gun
