NBA Playoffs

Torn Rose · 2005-04-20, 11:22 PM

Saturday is the tip-off.

I'll be watching Reggie Miller and the Pacers fight their way to face the Heat.

What a long emotionally kick in the balls year it has been. Not the way I wanted to see Reggie go out.

I'm not sure on who to pick this year, I'd say Spurs out West if Duncan is healthy and Heat East if Shaq is healthy.

We will also see if the MVP is a true award for the most valuable player or if it’s a popularity contest. If Steve Nash wins it, it’s a true MVP award, if Shaq wins it, it’s based on popularity.

Coach of the year needs to go to Rick Carlisle after a tremendous job he has done with all the suspensions and injuries, but I think it will go to Mike D'Antoni.

It would be nice if Indiana had a Cinderella playoffs and won the whole thing.

Realistically, its too hard to pick a team - especially from the West. There are literally 5 teams that can kick butt on any given night. The East? If the Heat go down its because the Pistons are humming like a V8.

Prediction: Miami vs. San Antonio - Spurs to take it all!

Bring It On!!

Ramster · 2005-04-21, 09:42 AM

Should be a good playoffs. Could be some upsets too. Denver has the best record in the NBA since the allstar break so Duncan better be healthy or they won't go past the first round. Pacers? Don't see it happening this year. Reggie was a great player!

Steve Nash should be the MVP hands down. Look at his stats and look at the Suns. What a turnaround.

Torn Rose · 2005-04-21, 09:48 AM

Yeah, the Spurs/Nuggets should be good, Karl did a incredible job, had he been there all year who knows.

Greenguy · 2005-04-21, 10:28 AM

I'm rooting for the Lakers

Yell · 2005-04-21, 10:38 AM

I am rooting for the Clippers

The ex Braves

Ramster · 2005-04-21, 11:28 AM

I hear the Clippers and Lakers are having their own playoffs on a playground in Compton. Winners live!

pornrex · 2005-04-21, 11:37 AM

The Compton Cup...

dareutwo · 2005-04-21, 06:48 PM

As long as it isn't a 1 coast finals

Suns/Heat would be really fun to watch!

Cool!
Just waiting for the day Nash heads one in.

Torn Rose · 2005-05-07, 09:34 PM

Total domination tonight... we did a great job!

Bring on the Badboys....

weirdsteve · 2005-05-08, 03:22 AM

This year has a storybook ending. No hockey in Canada,,,, so a Canadian, Steve Nash wins MVP ( the first canadian to win that) and plays against Shaquille (the other MVP)
I can't wait. I predict the fans in both cities (in the finals, let alone in the second round) will be chanting shaq mvp / steve mvp - MVP' MVP'. The Finals will be awesome to see the difference in their games.

Tito_Ortiz · 2005-05-08, 07:43 PM

Damn my Rockets blew a 2-0 lead. I guarantee that the championship runs through Houston at least twice in the next 5 yrs. Yao and T-mac are still so young.

dareutwo · 2005-05-08, 08:03 PM

weirdsteve - Even Shaq congratulated Canada.

Tito - not a chance.
They don't have the support staff or a coach to get them there right now.
Remember, I'm a T-Wolves fan, predicted to get to conference finals this year. (like that happened lol)

East should beat the West this year.

pornrex · 2005-05-11, 04:08 AM

Spurs vs Suns
Heat vs Pistons

Both will go 7...last rock in the hole wins.

Too tough to call, really. You can't count any of these teams out. Everyone's saying Heat this, Heat that.
C'mon.
The Pistons are DEFENDING CHAMPIONS. They're NOT rollin' over for anyone. Wade can't win it alone and Shaq better pick it up right quick. 20 turnovers doesn't impress me and it won't do them any good against the Pistons or those suffocating d patterns in the West. Heat will 'Chill' if they keep this up.

cockNballs · 2005-05-11, 09:27 AM

I thought Basketball was over since the Celtics are out and I don't like basketball

Yesterday's came showed some weakness... But they still got the job done. I agree, Wade can't win it alone, and the turnovers were terrible. BUT don't underestimate the HEAT!!!

Torn Rose · 2005-05-11, 10:28 PM

YES! BOOM BABY!

Torn Rose · 2005-05-13, 09:56 PM

Domination turned into a ugly win... but I'll take it!

Greenguy · 2005-05-14, 07:08 AM

Seeing as I'm not following the NBA Playoffs at all, Torn's posts are utterly useless

Torn Rose · 2005-05-14, 09:13 AM

Pacers won by 9 in Detroit after being down 15 and after being up 15 and completely dominating for 3 quarters, they go down 4 in the 4th to come back and win by 5

Pacers 2-1 over Detroit

Ramster · 2005-05-14, 09:38 AM

Pacers played a good game in the end. Reggie is still Reggie though he missed his 3s he made some long 2s still. A little pushoff in the end but that happens all the time so not something the refs should call.

Steve Nash played great and really took the game over in the final few minutes to lead Phoenix to a win. Great end to that game especially the spin hook shot with his left.
