lebron did it again

Is it just me or are the Jazz fans this year a little pathetic? They're down by 19 and they're screaming in unison at the refs. This is the same crowd that booed Fish upon his return. Since when did the straightlaced Utah sportsgoer turn into "Phily Fan"?

Yep, N/O is next (I think)

Nice.

I would rather play NO. The Spurs are a better team.

Glad Kobe can rest that back.

The Celts road woes are incredible. LeBrick did them in without his best shooter. I'm really starting to think Boston will not get past Detroit.

UPINTHEMGUTS · « **Reply #283 on:** May 17, 2008, 10:14:19 AM »

If you think for one second the Celtics will get past Detroit, then you're dreaming in the first place.

Detroit has more playoff experience and the better team chemistry.

They need to get past the Cavs first. This is no gimme win for the Celtics at home. Lebron could go crazy in game 7 like he did against Detroit last year.

In any case, the Pistons will beat a tired Celtics team, coming off back to back seven game series, to win in six games.

the fans in general have been extremely hostile this year for some reason, in all arenas.

Provided they get past the Cavs(not an automatic home win for the Celtics, by the way).

Dreaming? O Rly? Are you talking about the same Pistons team that lost to a one-man team in the Eastern Conference finals last year?

Fuck, my Jazz need to get rid of Booze, he seems to always choke in the playoffs. Seriously how can a supposed all star play like shit 5 out of 6 games in a pivotal series?

As far as the rest of the playoffs go I think Detroit is taking it this year, their chemistry looks really good right now and they can definetly win on the road which Boston cant. All they have to do is steal one there and get home court and boston would be in serious trouble, that is if boston can even beat "a Lebron team"

Dos Equis · « **Reply #287 on:** May 17, 2008, 10:57:20 AM »

I think whoever comes out of the West will win it.

New year, new outcome. The Pistons are representing the East in the finals.

Maybe, maybe not. I think they will beat the Celtics or Cavs, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion.

Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant continues to light up the NBA. His playoff numbers through 10 games:

33.3 points
6.8 assists
6.3 rebounds
1.1 steals
49.5% from the field
81% from the FT line

BB, there is a "New World Order" in the NBA, many are slow to wake up to it. The Greatest Player in the Planet now has the foot soldiers necessary to watch his back. The others, they are in such trouble, they are just now realizing. . . .

So true. Since Shaq left I always maintained that all Kobe needed was another all star caliber player to compete for a championship. What people might forget is he had Smush Parker and Kwame Brown as his starting point and center the past two years. Even with that lineup, they took the Suns to seven games two years ago.

Because my expectations were so low coming into the season, I'll actually be okay if they didn't win the title this year. But next year with a starting lineup of Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe, and Fish? With Ariza back from injury? They'll be the favorites the start the season.

What idiot decided that Kwame Brown *ever* needed to be a Laker?

He was worse than that other scrub from a few years back...the one who shot the basket in his own goal...Samaki Walker.

Ahhhh Samaki . . . bringing back some fond memories. One time Kobe gave that guy a black eye on the team bus!!

Kwame's been an idiot since he was with Washington. Dude has a million dollar deal but eating in KFC and MCDonald's, and didn't really have a place to stay. Shows what happens when you have 18 yrs olds who turn pro with millions of dollars but the mind of a 14 yr old. And Jordan was behind that deal!!!

Yeah, MJ must have been on crack that day he drafted Kwame.

Kupchak, Phil, and MJ (who gave Kwame an endorsement to Phil). Worst hands in the NBA

Samaki was a lottery pick? Talk about misjudging talent.

Kupchak knew that one day he would exchange Kwame for Pao. LOL!!!
