i predict the pistons to win it all

not enough to vote for them.

i voted the Pistons and i was the first vote

i think the Pistons and Celtics are the top two teams in the entire NBA and which ever team makes it out of the East wins it all.

gooooo houston!!!!!

Lakers over Celtics in 6

 

[puffff]

lakers and celts in finals

 

[dougp]

*yawn*

Man, these Spurs are boring.

Also, Lakers vs. Nuggets first round will be good ... I think the Nuggets will take it to 7 because they're very physical and the game style changes in the playoffs.

GO SPURS!

Has anyone bought playoff tickets yet? I'll perfectly be in Atlanta this coming week and I'd love to see the Hawks lose to the Celtics. I can't find out if tickets are available yet, as ticketmaster says games 1-4 are in Atlanta...

Uhm, games 2-4 are in Atlanta. Celtics have home court, I'd check the arena website for the Hawks to get verification, but it'll be hard to come by playoff tickets.

Lakers and Celtics.
Lakers in 6.

2-4, that's fine, but the 1-4 kinda made me wonder. I tried going through the steps and it seems that tickets are available...huh.

OK I just looked at what you're talking about - you're mistaking the home game 1-4 as being the first 4 games in the series - they're technically games 2,3,6,7? Though that doesn't seem right, I thought home court advantage gave you 1,2,4,5,7 ... oh well, it won't go 7 games, or even 5.

 

[eelw]

Can the Spurs get their first back to back championships? Wonder how much Shaq will have a say in this.

And why hasn't anyone voted for the Hawks yet?

This should be stickied just like the nhl one

I bought suns playoff tickets this afternoon at 2. That was a pre-sale, and the public sale is tomorrow (thursday) at 10. I am going to try again for tickets then.

EDIT: I will say it again. The suns will get some sweet sweet revenge this year

 

[robphelan]

Go Spurs!

 

[neovan]

Hmm, no they won't. Half their team won't show up, and Shaq will break down in a few games.

We beat you once without Shaq, we beat you twice (EASILY) with him. What makes you think it wont happen the same way it did during the season?

Break down? I guess a spurs fan would know something about that, its been happening to your team all year. Bowen isn't the tenacious defender he used to be, a lot of players can blow right by him now.

Horry has been injured, Barry has been injured, Ginobili has been injured, Parker has been injured. Your team is breaking down at the completely wrong time.

No donaghy scandal or lame suspension can save you this year. Accept your fate.

EDIT: If you are talking about players not showing up, the only one who did that last year was Shawn Marion. This year he wont show up again because HES NOT ON THE TEAM. So whos not going to show up this year?

Barbosa, Bell, all your interiors outside of Amare. I hope you Suns fans get fucked with some balsa wood.

I'm with you. Best team in years and years, better than last year's team, yet no playoffs.

I'm going to root for the Hornets in the playoffs, but will be hard pressed to generate much enthusiasm.

(Dirigible puts on his Terry Teagle autographed Warriors hat and sulks in the corner.)

I really like the Hornets - a very, VERY solid team. It's a shame that they haven't tried for some more veteran leadership. I need to relook at this seasons free agents, but if they get one or two vets for the minimum ... wow. I'm curious where Marion's gonna go, he's a good player and I'm wondering if he'd take a cut in pay and minutes to actually compete for a ring, like the Pistons, Lakers or Spurs ... perhaps the Celtics but they're uber in the hole like the Lakers.
