NBA Playoffs 2009

[sohum]

Bulls will take the Celtics, thanks to Rose's godliness.

Don't get the Pistons hate in here, although i'm not supporting them this season because of stupid trades and overall suckishness. Backing the Bulls!

Nah, if you remember the Celts were in the same position last year against the lowly Atlanta Hawks. Then Ray Allen + Paul Pierce exploded. Not having KG is huge but I think the experience of the Celts will get them through. If they win the next one at home, then the pressure is going to be all on the Bulls.

So far I have called the 1-8 match-ups correctly in both conferences (Cavs 4-0 and Lakers 4-1). I'm hoping my calls on the Mavs' and Rockets' series' are wrong and that both those teams wrap it up 4-1 tonight. Chicago and Philly have played above expectations, though, and I won't be getting those two series' right.

No way do the Bulls even get to game 7 unless they stop Gordon from taking a shot every 30 seconds.

Just saw the Howard play that got him suspended, disgraceful.

Well looks like Gordon was pretty well restrained by the Celtics which might have worked out in our favor. Good win for the Bulls, though they should've won in regulation.

Fully expecting them to lose in game 7 but pumped up for it nonetheless. Also, how big of a twat has Rondo been in the last couple of games?

Yeah, pretty dog by Rondo pulling Hinrich into the table..

Epic game though. A bit of controversy on Allen's fallaway shot late, it was 3! What do you guys think? I liked the way Miller played too.

 

[nightprowler10]

Was that the one where his toe was on the line? Nah, not a three.

That looked like toe on the line. They should have shown the next frame more, where he was about to take off because you could see that his toe was on the line, iirc.

In terms of predictions, I'm doing good!

Cavs-Pistons 4-0 (RIGHT)
Celts-Bulls 4-1 (WRONG)
Magic-Sixers 4-1 (Magic won 4-2... so just off)
Heat-Hawks 4-3 (got game 7 right, let's see how it ends)
Lakers-Jazz 4-1 (RIGHT)
Hornets-Nuggets 4-3 (COMPLETELY WRONG)
Mavs-Spurs 4-2 (Mavs won 4-1... so just off)
Rockets-Blazers 4-2 (RIGHT)

3 completely right, 2 correct results and two wrong and potentially one more completely right. I should have placed some bets, haha. Here are my second round predictions:

Cavs-Hawks - Cavs 4-1
Magic-Celts - Magic 4-3
Lakers-Rockets - Lakers 4-2 (I'm hoping for a 4-3 Rockets, though!)
Nuggets-Mavs - Mavs 4-2 (I think Mavs have it in em to take down Billups and co.)

Anyone else?

I don't see the Mavs taking out Denver. Oh and almost everybody got the Bulls-Celtics one wrong except for me. I predicted on my facebook that it will go to 7 games and that the Bulls will win it.

I guess you got it wrong as well, then.

I think the Mavs will be able to hang on to the Nuggets (or rather, I hope, haha). Tomorrow is a big night with Orlando-Boston and Houston-LA. Oh, and I updated my predictions for Round 2.

vBookie events have been created for the CLE-ATL and DEN-DAL series' as well as for the NBA championship. I will add the HOU-LAL and BOS-ORL series' when the odds have been calculated by bet365.

 

[SciD]

Boston will shine somehow.

 

[SciD]

What a game between Orlando and Boston. Finally won on buzzer beater. Boston need to close the series early or else they will be exauted for finals.

 

[SciD]

Houston getting pounded by LA.

 

[ashgray2]

Western Conference:
Hou or LAL vs DEN

I want LAL to be the one to bet DEN.


Eastern Conference:
ORl or BOS vs CLE

Doesn't matter I just want CLE to win this one.

I'm just wondering who's going to be the champion in this season.

LA lost the game today in just first quater.

Man, my Rockets are doing great this year! Hoping for an upset over the Lakers in Game 7. All this without Yao and T-Mac as well!
