The Basketball Thread

[vaibhav mehta]

I strongly want Jazz to win today at home.If they can't make it today then I think Lakers would win the title.
Deron Williams needs to push himself while they need to find solution for Kobe Bryant.
Only worries seems to me is that During the regular season, the Lakers won three of the four matches played between these two.

Celtics already have good news while they are taking Cavaliers on their court and news is Ben Wallace being listed as doubtful for Game 3.

Ben Wallace off court is no good news for BC fans. He only grabs rebounds. I like the guy though.

Jazz survived Kobe burst in dying minutes of game today.

Kobe Kobe :hpraise

This has certainly been Kobe's year. How ironic as he desperately wanted out of the Lakers not too long ago. As much as I love the king, I hope the Celtics go through tonight and then beat the crap out of Pistons.

This is a tougher challenge for Cleveland in Game 6 if Paul Pierce or Ray Allen is the ball screen recipient, as both are better shooters coming off the pick.
With Cleveland's raucous crowd and defense from both teams being the known entities, expect Game 6 to be the most physical battle of the series.

Last Chance for Cavailers in Postseason.

BC dropped game 6

Also Hornets drop game 6

 

[nightprowler10]

I'd be worried if I were Boston. LeBron hasn't even been playing that well and the Cavs have already forced game 7, if he starts firing on all cylinders then the Celtics are screwed.

 

[sohum]

Homecourt advantage has really mattered for the Celtics and the Hornets. I'm hoping for wins from the Celtics and the Hornets!!

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Same was I but Hornets were far more poor than I thought or Spurs were just too good for them.
I was expecting Hornets to be in finals after 10 years withthis young team but Paul was owned by Spurs.

Now Only interest is Pistons.Will they going to lose ever?
I expect 4-2 for Pistons as Celtics could resist them only at home games.

 

[sohum]

I'm crushed.

I hate the San Antonio Spurs.
I hate Tim Duncan.
I hate Tony Parker.
I hate Manu Ginobili.
I despise Greg Popovich.

I support the Lakers now.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Can I correct you my Brother?
Hell let me do that,
You should hate Chris Paul
You should hate Tyson Chandler
You should hate David West.

and oh god West was crap by the way.

But at last conclusion is same that We both are going to support Lakers.

 

[SciD]

I also hate Spurs and I love Kobe. But let East win this time.

 

[sohum]

Can I correct you my Brother?
Hell let me do that,

You are wrong:

You should hate Chris Paul

Why should I hate the best point guard in the league?

You should hate Tyson Chandler

Why should I hate the top offensive rebounder in the league?

You should hate David West.

Why should I hate someone whose legs don't seem to be made of jelly?

Whatever. If the Spurs win it'll be a loss for the sport of basketball. The Spurs have translated the art of diving from football into basketball and coupled with that they are completely unsportsmanlike with the Hack-a-Shaq and Hack-a-Chandler "strategies".

 

[SciD]

Hack-a-Ben Wallace too. :rtfl

BC Win today and handsomely.

 

[nightprowler10]

Disappointed that the Lakers won this time around. If the Spurs and Celtics make it to the finals I'll have a hard time deciding whom to root for as I love both teams, if Lakers and Pistons make it I probably won't watch the finals.

On a more delightful note, the Bulls get first pick in the draft lottery I honestly feel that they need to trade their pick for an experienced star if they can. They already have too many young players with potential, now they need experience.

 

[SciD]

Lakers did to Spurs what Spurs did to Suns and Hornets.

Bulls need to get back Chandler and maybe DWade.
