holy cock tits! NBA playoffs thread!

inb4 no one but oVo and I care.



First round picks:
Pacers over Hawks in 7
Heat over Bobcats in 5
Raptors over Nets in 7
Wizards over Bulls in 6

Spurs over Mavs in 6
Thunder over Grizzles in 7
Clippers over Warriors in 5
Rockets over Blazers in 6

Mavs have lost 9 in a row to the Spurs.
Don't know if they can buck that trend,
or maybe they're due.

San Antonio should have a chip on their shoulder
after having Miami all but done in Game 6
and blowing their Championship.

I'll play the game.

Pacers over Hawks in 5
Heat over Bobcats in 5
Nets over Raptors in 6
Bulls over Wizards in 6

Spurs over Mavericks in 4
Thunder over Grizzlies in 5
Clippers over Warriors in 7
Blazers over Rockets in 7

Bollocks.

Blazing bumper stickers Batman, somebody else cares!

Not really. I care enough only top hope Miami gets beat. Otherwise, no real interest. I do love brackets though.

Bollocks.

The Nets may surprise a few people.
No Lakers, Celtics or Knicks oh my.

I was rooting for Toronto. But at least the other teams yesterday I was rooting for won. We'll see how today fares.

Mavs keep the streak alive, losing a 10th consecutive game to the Spurs. 10 point lead at the 7 minute mark and Dallas doesn't make another shot from the field until the final buzzer.

How does a team with Nowitski go 0-12 to finish a game?
Four made free throws in the final seven minutes. Argh!

Heat won and the Pacers and Bulls both lost, making me pretty happy.

I both like and dislike not having the Celtics and the Lakers in the playoffs. Dislike that I can't root for whoever each is playing, which was always fun. But I like they are finished with their seasons too.

You can always enjoy rooting for the Heat Dynasty's opponents.

OK City's Durant made a ridiculous shot --nothing but net-- as the
Thunder came back on Memphis, only to see them escape with
the win in OT.

Mavs roll the Spurs and even up the series.

Wow, Hawks and Grizzles both win.

Also, oVo's Macs are putting the hurt on the Spurs. Good to see Vince hit the game winner. Hope he ends up with a ring.

Either A) No you don't, or B) What next year when he somehow ends up with the Heat? LIAR.

Also, at least this year the first round has been entertaining. Lower seeds actually seem like they have a shot. Almost on par with the NHL's opening round. ALMOST.

Bollocks.

Haha not this year or next (going for the 4peat) but eventually. He was my favorite player growing up and it'll be satisfying to see him win it.

There's no way the Heat sign him though. He's never been a good defender.

There was no shortage of defensive moments
in Game 3... but that shot at the buzzer was
Sweet!

#8 leads #1 by a game and the Spurs are fortunate
it isn't 3-0 looking at a sweep.

btw... Ginobli was scary awesome in this one.
whew!

Glad to see the Warriors, Wizards, and the Raptors won today.

Mavs comeback from 20 down
and let it slip away. Ouch...

Heat sweep. Very proud, especially considering the shaky regular season.


Mavs are putting on one hell of a series and I honestly think that that series can go either way. I wasn't sure how much I trusted the Spurs' age (had the series going 6) and now I see that I was kind of right.


Also, Pacers now losing 3-2 to the god awful Hawks. If they lose, I will be so incredibly happy.

ah, yeah the mavs are giving us a hard time.... hope we make it through...

and atlanta, seriously????

I did write a sweep from miami. Although charlotte didn't do too bad in the game I watched (game 2 I think it was). By the way.... Aren't charlotte supposed to get back their original name although it's a different franchise???? The are still supposed to be the charlotte hornets like in the good old days with alonzo mourning, larry johnson and the midget mugsy bogues

Charlotte has improved, but they've still got a ways to go. If they had a different draw, they would've done better.

Silly Betiko. Anyone playing Miami in the first round was a goner, it just was yet to be determined how much fight anyone would put up. And since Indiana was on the slide, if Charlotte would've played worse, and actually played #1 instead of #2, Charlotte probably would have had a chance to be in the same position Atlanta is in. Charlotte is better (by how much, probably not a lot) than the Hawks.
