NBA Playoffs

[Thegreatone]

Thoughts?

I consider myself a Spurs fan and have for since Tim Duncan entered the league. I think this is a 3 team race between Spurs/OKC/Miami

Side note: How bad is Bynum as a competitor? They need to trade him. Sucks because he is skilled but you cant trust that guy.

I stand by the general statements I made in the fall, Kobe can't do it all himself. I had no idea that Bynum would emerge, like he did during the season and the moment he faded away, they lost.
I'm hoping the Heat win it all, just because I like a good villain.
I imagine there are some Bull fans on prozac.

I am definitely rooting for the Spurs to win it all. However they have horrible match ups the rest of the way LAC and OKC are really athletic and attack the rim. The Spurs are really poor defensively, so I feel like one of those teams is going to beat them. Hoping they get to the Finals to play Miami.

Spurs would absolutely dismantle the Lakers. They would abuse Bynum with the pick and roll offense. Bynum cant gaurd outside of the paint.

OKC would be tough but they did fine in regular season.

LAC meaning the Clippers who they will play in the next round assuming they hold a 3-1 series lead.I watched that whole series with the Jazz and at times they got shots way too easily, all it takes is one bad shooting night at home and all of a sudden you are down 1-0 and the momentum completely shifts (like last year against Memphis). I think the Spurs are deep enough to beat LAC, but OKC will be tough.

My bad, I cant imagine the Clips given Spurs any trouble at all. Spurs could have had one of the best winning % of all time if they wanted to this year. Literally gave away 4 games with resting players and still have NBA's best record.

Interesting games last night.

Memphis is so tough to beat at their place. That place is nuts and the loudest arena in the NBA. If they can beat LAC on the road I think they win the series. If I am the Spurs I want Clips and not Grizzles.

Miami did what I though they would do verse NYK. Win in 5.

Denver has come storming back from down 3-1 to force a game 7. I really like the Nuggets, hoping to see George Carl win a title after his Seattle teams were screwed by Michael Jordan.

Spurs continue to dismantle the NBA

Coach Pop is clearly the best coach in the NBA now that Phil has retired. They simply didn't allow Paul to run pick and roll all night. Bledsoe, Young, Williams, K-Mart, etc are going to have to create their own shots. The only guys that will score in this series are isolation players. However Bledsoe did a really good job on Tony Parker.

 

[Thegreatone]

Spurs vs OKC will be really fun. Who do you guys got? I have Spurs in 6. Tony Parker abused Westbrook their last game at the Spurs.

It will be interesting to see what the spurs actually do in the playoffs against an actual NBA caliber team.

OKC Heat.

Why would it matter if it was the playoffs or not? Spurs ran through everyone after mid Jan?

You think the pressure is going to change? ITS THE SPURS!!! They dont feel pressure.

This is going to be a spanking. Spurs in 6 if OKC pushes all the right buttons.

 

[cincycpaw]

I think it'll be a great series. At least 6 if not 7 games.

I think OKC wins if Durant dominates. If not, Spurs.

I'm betting on Durant, even though the Spurs are the better team.

 

[Eternal E]

Spurs in 5 or 7.

 

[Thegreatone]

I didnt realize that Manu didnt play in any of the 3 games verse OKC....

 

[TheLivingLegend]

As the Legend boldly predicted before the start of the season, it will be OKC and the Heat.....

First ill say this.. I cant stand dwade, what a freaking bitching clown. Unlike most people I really dont mind LBJ, but I will say I am having fun watching him lose big time games. The dude needs to develop a shot. Forget the post game. Learn to shoot.

I enjoy watching OKC play. Durant is awesome, and westbrook has grown on me. Despite some stupid stupid shots, dude can bring alot to a team.

The NBA playoffs BLOWS AWAY the NCAA tournament and its not even close. Its the best sporting event there is.

Awesome basketball. Great games to watch. This should be a fun series.

Don't agree with the NCAA/Playoff statement but I will say that watching the athleticism and skill of the two teams last night was as enjoyable a game as I've ever seen. Westbrook is a freak athlete and Durant is scary good for a 6'9" guy. His touch is unreal and he shoots bulls eyes. I'm am an OKC fan.

If UC is still playing ill give you that.

Outside of UC basketball, id much prefer the NBA.

OKC has to come out tonight and win this one. This is a huge game for them.

2 in OKC, 1 of 3 in Miami, then it ends in 6 with Oklahoma City claiming the NBA Championship. Official Eternal E Prediction.
