OT - NBA Playoffs

Eric_C

Figured the forum needed this. I am enthralled with the playoffs already. I can tell it is gonna be a lot of fun. Unless the Heat win. I hate the Heat more then Lex Luthor hates Superman. What are other peoples thoughts on one of the best times of the year?

I haven't been following the NBA much since around 2002. I'll look at box scores, check out the schedule and standings but I haven't watched a full game in years. Hoping the Bulls can pull it off.

Eric_C

@Greg Well, looks like your Bulls are not gonna be able to do that - Derrick Rose is done for the year.

I'm a Heat fan from back in the early 90s so guess who I want to win.

Who saw that comeback last night? Probably the most wild thing I ever did see

Even before the 2010-2011 season started, I predicted a Heat-Thunder finals in 2012.

Now, the door is wide open for Miami in the East with DRose sidelined. I really just don't like lebronjames, never have, so i'll root for anybody else in the East who they'll face.

Looks to be a tougher road in the West for OKC, but I believe in that team...

Crossing fingers!!

I can't stand Miami. But even I wouldn't punch a fire extinguisher

I've been busy the last week, but the Hawks in 6. They were going to win before Rondo got stupid, but now they get a freebie game tonite to go up 2-0. They lose game 3 in Boston, Steal game 4, lose 5, win in 6.
Then it's time for the Bulls.

Not much of a fan, but I have quite a bit of family in Oklahoma, so I'll throw my support behind the Thunder.

As a Sonics fan who loves basketball I hate watch, like people watch Entourage. I know I should look away in disgust but the Bulls are done, the Spurs are ridiculous and the Celtics are staging a ridiculous jailbreak from their retirement home. I'm enthralled. #beatokc

Greg

Are the Nuggets going to knock out the Lakers in game 7?

No need to bring up the Bulls for the rest of this thread. Thank you.

I hate the Celtics.

@mwhitt80
I'm whit you but the reason why I hate the team is the fans.

Go Heat!

Eric_C

You are a bad person if you like the Heat. And I don't know how you could hate the Celtics. The history alone makes them so awesome.

Justin_TheBuck

If it makes you feel better I've been a fan since the early 90s. Like I said,the fans make me Hate the Celtics.

I respect that, just not how your players handle business.

ABC opened the Clippers-Grizzlies with an Avengers theme. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Rondo, yes, is stupid 66% of the time but brilliant 33%. Celtics are old, but I think they can pull it off. Celtics all the way.

Eric_C

Kevin Durant is a cold blooded killer

Whoa! The Lakers are not looking good...oh, well. Go Kings!

Passing of the torch? OKC advances to the West Final. I hope they pull it off, but San Antonio has been a real thorn in their side. It seems as it the Spurs have the Thunder figured out, plus the personnel to match up well...

Eric_C

It is Big Brother vs Little Brother with Thunder-Spurs. I think it will be a lot of fun, but I think Pop is the edge for the Spurs

Eric_C

We are tied up at 2-2 in both series ya'll. Rondo has gone to another level and LBJ is doin LBJ things (putting up big numbers, but is suspect when it matters) on the east side of the map. In the west we got an awesome matchup, but I think the Spurs are too good to lose. This is gonna be a fun rest of the playoffs and I suggest every person in this world watch.
