e90post 08 NBA Playoff Clubhouse

TheAcAvenger · 05-20-2008, 08:50 AM

Detroit in 6. Spurs in 6. And my bracket is still perfect.

Seeing as my team isnt even in the playoffs, and my only playoff associations stem from living in SA as a kid for a while, I must say that i'm not really into any of the remaining playoff teams... but I would absolutely love to see two ugly teams kick two pretty beloved teams out of the playoffs. Especially those damn Celtics. The Celtics did their job by getting rid of cocky lebron, and now i'm done with them. I'd prefer Pistons in 4, but i'll be realistic enough to say Pistons in 6. There is no way in the world the Celtics are going to win at home tonight.

Actually, Lebron was cocky and a little whiny this year. A bit disappointing.

My dream Eastern Conference scenario (given the current matchups) would be Detroit in 7 with the Pistons winning all 4 games in Boston.

OK, gotcha. I guess it was such a long time between championships that the Angelenos acted stupidly after a championship. You notice that didn't happen after next 2 championships. Besides during the NBA finals that year, 2000, I was on deployment and was actually watching Game 4 in a bar somewhere in Phuket

Lakers fans are so friggin laid back, they don't really care, and for them, championships are a must and expected. I know they love the parades though

Wow, where have you been. Perhaps you growing up in further south of california has something to do with it. Los Angeles fans generally are very fickle about their teams, in comparisons to other cities where they have nothing else but their team, i.e. Sacramento. However, that has nothing to with the fact that LA population just loves to riot, in general, for whatever reasons.

Lakers Bench FTW!

dimisa1977 · 05-24-2008, 07:37 AM

Lakers...FTMFW!

Deeee-troit is looking pretty tough though. We'll see how long that series will last if they put the smackdown on Boston tonight.

I think Luke thought that he had done his part and earned his millions in this championship run. He contributed in the Enver series and now he's just chilln on the bench with the Mob. IMO, that's unsat!! Fortunately, the Lakers' bench is just too deep that they can survive some of these guys' lack of effort or occasional show-up to play whenever they feel like it.

txusa03 · 05-30-2008, 08:01 AM

Wow, as many of you lakers fans predicted, lakers vs Celtics (well, I hoping celtics will make it the last game tonight).

I am neither a fan of those teams but I am very exciting to see Lakers vs Celtics (lots of talented players on both side).....

Certainly anyone title to wins since Celtics did not run the table in the east like I thought they would and I think Lakers has a slight advantage based on how they have performed up to this point so far.

TheAcAvenger · 05-30-2008, 08:02 AM

Go Pistons!

3onDubs · 05-30-2008, 02:39 PM

YGGR!

Mondolemite · 05-30-2008, 03:06 PM

It's actually starting to look like the Lakers (and Kobe-Wan Kenobi) can beat either Det or Bos. So, let's root for a game 7 in the East and bring on the exhausted winners.

What gave it away?

Could it be Boston's inability to win a series in under 7 games.....or the fact that after tonight's game, Boston will have played 20 playoff games while LA has only played 15....not to mention that the teams LA has played are much more competitive than the teams Boston has faced...

rce90 · 05-30-2008, 05:54 PM

I hope Hamilton plays tonight if not Detroit is "goin' fishin". I'm still going for Detroit to take the series.

3onDubs · 05-30-2008, 06:42 PM

Hamilton said he's "good to go"

txusa03 · 05-30-2008, 09:44 PM

c'mon someone win the east...

sinnet112 · 05-30-2008, 10:21 PM

Blah, poor Pistons...

Thought they'd make it to the Finals this year at least...

Ok, I'm sick of the Pistons already, time for some new blood in the East (and I had them winning in 6).

Boston, LA! Celtics, Lakers! Stern is probably dancing a jig right now. Sure beats Detroit v. San Antonio.
