The Official NBA Discussion

[Storm Shadow]

Playoffs are Here!!!!

Pacers are doing a good job against the Bulls at half time as of right now....

Superman is playing next against the Hawks.....Dont sleep on Dwight Howard....To me he's the 2nd best player in the NBA after Kobe Bryant...Dwight Howard is a fucken beast...they are going to destroy the Hawks....Al Horford is an amazing Talent but undersized Center going against the best Big Man in the League.....I dunno....

I cant wait to see the Lakers Smash on the Hornets tommarow....Bynum is a go which is a must for the Lakers to win the whole thing...

Portland I hope the beat Dallas...I cant stand Mark Cuban.....LaMarcus Aldridge is going to show Dirk what time it is....

If Manu doesnt play the first game against Memphis...dont sleep on an upset with the Grizz vs the Spurs...without Manu they're are not as intimidating...

Denver is playing pretty good since the whole Mellow Ordeal....I can see them beating OKC...Durant is an amazing scorer....but he's not very clutch..and Ty Lawson is balling it up for the Nuggets...

I hope Jrue Holiday and company beat the Heat.... I can see a total meltdown from Lebron so lets hope the 76ers can play for real..i like Doug Collins...he's a good dude

Boston is going to own the Knicks...Rondo is insane and Garnett is clutch when healthy...if Shaq is healthy a Big IF! He can add alot to that team...Huge Body to throw Amare and annoy him..should be easy win for the Celtics....

I base all my picks on my fantasy basketball season....man Do I love me some Fantasy Basketball and Football!!!!!!

Blazers all the way.

I hope the lakers flop early, but its not likely.

Gerald Wallace is a BEAST!

Wow, a couple of big upsets already today. Atlanta's win in Orlando yesterday was a shocker too. I'm hoping the Celtics don't see the same fate tonight.


I'm loving this all weekend marathon of basketball. 4 games back to back yesterday and four more today.

 

[HighDesertJoe]

Dang the lakes LOST made my day. Now BOSTON is going to kick ASS I hope.
I don't know if my heart can handle all the ups and downs.

The Celtics were bailed out by the refs, especially in the fourth quarter, where in his final drive to the basket before getting hurt, Billups was fouled 3 times with no call. The Knicks also had a terrible final possession, where, with the clock running down, they did not get the ball to Stodimire, by far the best player on the floor on this night, but instead threw it BACK, farther away from the basket, to Carmelo, who actually dribbled around instead of looking for an open team mate, and waited until no time was left and threw up a prayer, trying to be a hero. Carmelo's IQ approaches his scoring average.

Missed most of the bulls game yesterday because I was at work. But the ending was all I needed to see . I was getting so hype, great great ending.

Can't wait for tonight.

Anyone see Laker's/NOLA Game 3. Some of the best basketball that I've seen in years. Bynum is just a beast in the paint. Didn't much care for him, but last nights game changed my opinion of him. Were seeing greatness in the making. He's developing into such a force, a game changer. Great game to watch.

Like I said a few months ago...Lakers are going to Ride Bynum in the playoffs.....Okafor looks so weak when he tries to gaurd Andrew....I just get scared for Bynums Knees...they are fragile...I love the 3-Pointers from Pau Gasol last night lol and Kobe......no need mention the 5 time champ....he killed it..New Orleans is already done

 

[Highlighter]

What ya think of Bynum now? Last game as a Laker.

 

[GreatLakes THC]

What happened Kobe? I thought you guaranteed a series win. It takes more than will alone to win an NBA series. It takes Heart. Dallas simply had more. I missed today's blowout. Would have loved to see that. But I really enjoyed the other three games.

Good Going DALLAS
How despicable the way Bi Dumb and O Dumb finished out Phil's career as a Faker.
At least now they can go fishing.

 

[Capital G]

Let's go Heat! The whole landscape of the league is gonna change when we bring it on home. Nobody stands a chance. The playoffs are where stars shine and those old ass teams are done!

 

[smoke1sun]

Damn we took a ass whippin.

Even with the NBA being rigged. (yeah right)

DAMN DAMN DAMN

What ya think of Bynum now? Last game as a Laker.

honestly it would have been a great foul if it would have been game 1 early to set the tone. a really hard playoff foul. instead of a cheap shot out of frustration. which was low class.

good job dallas they brought it and brought it and brought it. if they win the title at least we can have the dignity of losing our crown to the new champs. shitty consilation prize though. but you dont go from the top of the mountain to not top of the mountain smoothly - shit happens.

im sure a lot of icers dont know the rumored reason for the Lakers demise, they are just stoked (do your thing! Lakers will reload and be back on top soon dont fret hahaha) the Lake show is going fishing.

from what i understand it directly involves pau gasol... apparently his fiance recently left him on the advice of a teammate's wife. this is why bynum had discussed trust issues lately, why pau has been late for team meetings, and why pau played like gasoft and why the lakers just fizzled when the heat was on. but thats what ive heard and i think it makes sense to me... a woman crushes the dynasty!!!

I hope the lakers can trade pau and lamar for d howard and hedo... a one-two punch of bynum and howard flanked by kobe would bv a very interesting team to watch. and is fiscally probable. c'mon mitch!!!!

Just saw the video of Bynum's foul and ejection. I feel sad for the organization. The Laker's are better than that. Bynum did no good for himself, the league, or the Laker's organization. I was appalled and shocked by this needless and intentional flagrant foul. Play like that has no place in this league, or in basketball period. Most of all I felt bad for Phil. For the Zen master to have his team unravel as they did and to have so little control that he couldn't even see them through to losing with dignity and honor must be very shaming for him. His last game. The cap to his legacy will forever be marred as a rout with cheap play. Phil, you too are better than that. Perhaps if it could have all just been left on the court and outside influences and drama never played a part things would have been different. Some things are just outside a coaches control though. Zen master or not.

The officials couldn't save them this time

Real classy Bynum. Grow up little boy. I never liked the guy, now I never will.

Real classy Bynum. Grow up little boy. I never liked the guy, now I never will.

This coming from a Bulls fan who had perhaps one of the dirtiest players, Rodman, playing for them?

 

[Storm Shadow]

Chris Paul for Gasol and Odom/Bynum for Howard....

I would lose this season any day of the week to even have one of those guys play along side of Kobe....if the Lakers step up and snag Howard with Paul..... you can kiss the NBA goodbye....given the Lakers history...we always land the leagues Best Man....

Dwight is going to look G'd up in Purp & Yellow...if we can finally get an elite point gaurd....oh wee....havent seen that since the Magic Man Days...

Lets go underdogs...Memphis and ATL
