Official NBA Playoffs Thread

[Drew Beringer]

Playoffs are set. Post your thoughts predictions, etc in here.

EAST:
1. Pistons vs 8. Bucks
2. Heat vs 7. Bulls
3. Nets vs 6. Pacers
4. Cavs vs 5. Wizards

WEST:
1. Spurs vs 8. Kings
2. Suns vs 7. Lakers
3. Nuggets vs 6. Clippers
4. Mavericks vs 5. Grizzlies



I think both LA teams will win in the first round. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls knock off the struggling Heat. I still like the Pacers chances, JO is at the top of his game now and Carlisle has realized that Tinsley sucks ass, Pacers won the season series vs the Nets and match up well with them. Pistons will destroy the Bucks and the Wiz will upset the Cavs. Spurs will win, then both LA teams, and the Mavs.

[itsjdiggity]

can't the Lakers still be 8th if they lose tonight

[Drew Beringer]

Overconfidence is one of my fatal flaws.

haha...so poetic

[ActorInThisPlay]

I really don't see how anyone can think that the Lakers will win a 7 game series against the Suns. The Lakers have absolutely no depth and will pull out maybe 1 or 2 games against the Suns.

Pistons
Heat
Nets
Cavs

In the East, the first 4 seeds just are so much better then any of the other teams that I really don't see any upsets occurring. The bottom 4 seeds are barely at .500. I see all the series going 4 or 5 games.

Spurs
Suns
Clippers
Mavs

The West should be more interesting. I think the Spurs will win in 5, the Suns will win in 6, the Clippers will win in 6, and the Mavericks will win in 5 as well. These series will be much closer then the East in my opinion and I see more room for upsets.

[Caleb Cattivera]

some of you may be too young to remember, but in 94 the 8th seeded nuggets beat out the first ranked sonics, who also had the best record in the leauge that season. this was a nuggets team with a starting line up of mutumbo, abdul rauf, laphonso ellis, bryant stith, and reggie williams, facing a team of shawn kemp, gay payton detlef schrempf, kendall gill, sam perkins, ricky pierce and nate mcmillan. sonics shouldve killed them, but the nuggets always kept it close...im confident the lakers will prevail in the first round.

wanna make a friendly wager on this?

[somethingyellow]

wanna make a friendly wager on this?do it matt haha. The lakers havent proven they can beat the suns when nash is in the line up this year. So to win 4 out of 7 with one game in phoenix seems a lot to ask for with the lakers. Not to mention that they arent a great defensive team. I really think suns in 5 but it could go to 6

[ActorInThisPlay]

do it matt haha. The lakers havent proven they can beat the suns when nash is in the line up this year. So to win 4 out of 7 with one game in phoenix seems a lot to ask for with the lakers. Not to mention that they arent a great defensive team. I really think suns in 5 but it could go to 6
yeah I really don't see the Lakers beating the Suns unless something happens like Nash getting hurt first game or something tragic like that.

[somethingyellow]

I hope the spurs kings match up is a good one

[ActorInThisPlay]

I hope the spurs kings match up is a good one
eh the Spurs are too good. The Kings will win maybe 2 at best from the Spurs.

[somethingyellow]

eh the Spurs are too good. The Kings will win maybe 2 at best from the Spurs.Ya thats what i figure too. I am just hoping the kings will really show up and give them a great series. Maybe i am being too optimistic

[Caleb Cattivera]

i think you guys are TOO confident. that's all that's bothering me, you're taking this like it's a piece of cake, and im sure it will be anything but. matt, you've got the clippers to worry about, bet on them, ill bet with people that care about the game, IE yellowsecond.

youre saying all these instances that they never beat them when nash was playing. it's a whole new season now, i just think that kobes playoff experience, phil jacksons playoff experience, will be greater than that of the suns. they have no inside presence to contend with the lakers, and i think that may be the ultimate deciding factor.

[DaveHallow]

Its all Spurs for me.

Its not like the suns players havent played in the playoffs either. Nash, Marion, Bell have all been there. I dont see how i am TOO confident. I only spoke up when i saw somebody put "the lakers will beat the suns in the playoffs" in their sig. To me the deciding factor will be if the lakers can play good enough defense and hold the suns below 100.

kobe and phils experience is plenty. its much more than the suns combined. im just thinking too many people are doubting the lakers, everyone doubted the lakers at the beginning of the season saying they wouldnt get in the playoffs, that they'd finish between 10th and 15th in the west, blah blah. its the same thing all over again. also, jim jackson was signed by the lakers for one reason, the playoffs. i think he's going to play a huge role in the playoffs for them.

I dont think it will be a complete cake walk for the suns. I expect an entertaining series

I think the lakers have a great shot at beating the suns. I think Lamar Odom is awesome and if we see some good work in the paint from him as well as Kobe scoring 4 million points a game, its gonna be a good series. Personally, I am rooting for the Lakers but I can't deny the strength of the suns.

since when is Kwame Brown and Chris Mihm an inside presence? everyone has knocked these guys all year and all of a sudden they are a presence inside. Let's see Kobe, Odom, Brown or Nash, Marion, Diaw...let me see who I think is going to win. I am very confident the Suns will beat the Lakers, although I have been wrong in the past. Your right, anything can happen but I just don't see the Lakers winning a 7 game series.

[weezer182]

Go Kings!

[radiofriendly]

i took your template HeartShaped. i hope you don't mind. i think the wizards can and will handle the cavs. the only other series of interest is Lakers/Suns. how quickly we forget what Kobe can do in the playoffs. if his team can bring it, the lakers will be a tough first round match. i also really like the Kings for an upset, but with these picks im staying reasonably safe, except for LA

[LeftWideOpen]

Heat won't make it past the second round.

I tend to agree ..I think they are the most likely #1 or #2 to go down in the 1st round too (Suns look sketchy too). I hate the way they play basketball, although if it werent for Wade it'd be unbearable to watch.

some of you may be too young to remember, but in 94 the 8th seeded nuggets beat out the first ranked sonics, who also had the best record in the leauge that season. this was a nuggets team with a starting line up of mutumbo, abdul rauf, laphonso ellis, bryant stith, and reggie williams, facing a team of shawn kemp, gay payton detlef schrempf, kendall gill, sam perkins, ricky pierce and nate mcmillan. sonics shouldve killed them, but the nuggets always kept it close...im confident the lakers will prevail in the first round.

One of the burning memories in my mind is Dikembe Mutumbo laying on his back and clutching the ball in front of his face w/ his goofy ass grin after they had just pulled it out. What a good story. Anyway, I see it going down like this ...

East:
1. Pistons defeat 8. Bucks

i think the lakers can do it but you have to remember that first round series were 5 games back then, not 7.

[FondestMemory]

cavs are going 16-0.

nobody else matters.

[Caleb Cattivera]

since when is Kwame Brown and Chris Mihm an inside presence? everyone has knocked these guys all year and all of a sudden they are a presence inside. Let's see Kobe, Odom, Brown or Nash, Marion, Diaw...let me see who I think is going to win. I am very confident the Suns will beat the Lakers, although I have been wrong in the past. Your right, anything can happen but I just don't see the Lakers winning a 7 game series.

more proof you dont watch basketball. chris mihm has been out for nearly a month and a half, kwame starting in his place. he's put up 15 ppg and 9 rpg during that time, and really solidified his place in the lakers offense. kwame's done more than his share in the post, including holding tim duncan to 12 points and 4 boards against them in march. youre being too cocky matt...and for a team you dont even root for. go watch the clippers.

[weezer182]

west
spurs
mavs
clippers
suns

east
detroit
heat
cleveland
nets

I dont see any upsets in the first round in the east. As far as the west I'd really love to see sacramento beat the spurs but that wont happen. Also I think the suns will take care of the lakers :). I don't expect phx to lose in the first round.

[last light]

has anyone else said the clippers wont beat the nuggets? i honestly dont see it happening...maybe im crazy :wacko:

[weezer182]

has anyone else said the clippers wont beat the nuggets? i honestly dont see it happening...maybe im crazy :wacko:I wouldnt be surprised if Denver won. I just hate their team so I couldn't pick them :(. It will be a pretty close series i think

[last light]

I wouldnt be surprised if Denver won. I just hate their team so I couldn't pick them :(. It will be a pretty close series i think

agreed, i think it will be a good series as in close games, i just think denver is going to come out on top...truthfully im not impressed with the clippers at all...regardless of their record. we will see though.

[weezer182]

agreed, i think it will be a good series as in close games, i just think denver is going to come out on top...truthfully im not impressed with the clippers at all...regardless of their record. we will see though.haha yea based on past experiences it is tough to pick the clippers organization winning any series. it should be a good series though

[last light]

haha ya maybe im just used to the old days of the clippers, i used to have season tickets to the clipps and man, haha thats really all there is to say.

i love ike and pike....good year...ike being isaac austin, pike being eric piatkowski...star power.

[somethingyellow]

[last light]

haha i respect you even more for actually having season tickets for the clippers and actually going to the games to support them. That must have been a rough time in your life haha

haha i loved it. we had 4 3rd row seats, dead center...we had 2 and my friend and his dad had 2, good times...we used to get to go in the locker rooms and stuff cause we were always there. got Gary Paytons autograph when he was the shit...he was wearing a ski outfit and a giant diamond cross hahah

[ActorInThisPlay]

i'm not being cocky...my favorite teams are the Clippers, T-Wolves, and whoever is playing the Lakers. All I have heard all year is how much the Lakers team sucks and how they are all a bunch of rejects that don't do anything except let Kobe score. Now you are pulling out the Brown is actually good. Please make up your mind people.

again since you are so certain...I will ask again...wanna make a friendly wager since you so conveniently declined my last one. If you honestly think the Lakers are going to win then you should have no problem accepting it.

[last light]

watch the way browns been playing lately, he did suck for most of the year..as did odom and the rest besides kobe...these last couple of months all those players have looked good though...hell kwame had 20 last night (not sure on the boards since i was there) but he looked good.

[ActorInThisPlay]

yeah but that wasn't against the Suns or even a good team at that. man if Amare was healthy we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

edit: also I'm sure Brown can pull out a good game but like I said, I don't see the Lakers winning 4 games against the Suns.

[somethingyellow]

Id take season tickets to any team in the nba, especially that good of seats. The payton thing is awesome too. When i was younger i got to a game earlier and caught iverson when he came out for shoot around and signed an autograph for me. He was a really nice guy too, since a lot of the really good players dont sign autographs before the games (at least thats what i have seen)

i dont think theyll beat the suns...i think it will be a series. suns in 6 is what my guess is. if kwame shows up and puts up 20 a game (which is unlikely) and odom is putting up 15, lakers have a real shot though.

[weezer182]

I honestly think if phil jackson wasn't coaching the lakers this year they wouldn't come close to making the playoffs

[somethingyellow]

yeah but that wasn't against the Suns or even a good team at that. man if Amare was healthy we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

edit: also I'm sure Brown can pull out a good game but like I said, I don't see the Lakers winning 4 games against the Suns.That is true but hes not so we cant bring that up. Missing kurt thomas hurts the suns though, especially on the boards and defense. It should be a good scoring series but when it comes down to it the suns offense is quite a bit better than the lakers which is why i think they win the series

[last light]

I honestly think if phil jackson wasn't coaching the lakers this year they wouldn't come close to making the playoffs

i think jackson did a good job the 2nd half of the season...stopped with his let the other team make a run and not call timeout horse shit.

[weezer182]

exactly...waaaaaaaay too young.

when do they announce the MVP?

[somethingyellow]

exactly...waaaaaaaay too young.

when do they announce the MVP?i was wondering the same thing. I know that everybody had to have their vote in by midnight this morning. Last year they presented nash the award in the second round i believe (maybe the third) i forget though. Correct me if I am wrong anybody

[last light]

i cant remember...i think with Kobe being in the running theyll probably have to announce it sooner...seeing as lakers will most likely be gone come round 2

[somethingyellow]

i cant remember...i think with Kobe being in the running theyll probably have to announce it sooner...seeing as lakers will most likely be gone come round 2It shouldnt take them long to count votes. We should really know by today or tomorrow but that won't happen

i met Nick Collison and Jerome James...can't beat that

[somethingyellow]

i met Nick Collison and Jerome James...can't beat thatI met steve nash but thats about the only other nba player. Actually dan dickau and ronny turiaf. All three were incredibly nice

[itsjdiggity]

i also met stromile swift at a summer league game, although i didn't know it was him at first

i just saw a tall black guy signing things, so i went up to him

[ReturningSunday]

pistons/suns finals here we come, then pistons in 6

i like the way you think my friend.

[Nick Lopez]

I would like Sacramento to beat the Spurs, just to spite everyone. Then they can lose.

[Brownpants06]

I'm going to go out on a limb here,


Pistons vs. Spurs!

[weezer182]

The Dallas/ Memphis series is going to be a good one. I think it will be closer then a lot of people think

[ActorInThisPlay]

I'm going to go out on a limb here,


Pistons vs. Spurs!
haha thats exactly what my dad said...

[iihungrieii]

i think the lakers have a decent shot at upsetting the suns. it would be pretty nice to see that happen

[radiofriendly]

The Dallas/ Memphis series is going to be a good one. I think it will be closer then a lot of people think

man, i just don't think so. memphis is a great squad, but if the mavs are consistent, this will be a tough, gutted out 5 game series. in my opinion though.

[somethingyellow]

Let's go Kings today

[Anton Djamoos]

i think the lakers have a decent shot at upsetting the suns. it would be pretty nice to see that happen
I think so too. Especially without Amare. Kobe's going to tear it up in the playoffs.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Today i'm hoping for a Bulls win.

[Drew Beringer]

I hope the Cavs win cause they have the better chance of the two to beat the Pistons.

[Vincewithouthee]

Yeah, the Cavs played real well in the first half. Hopefully they keep this up.

[itsjdiggity]

Arenas is playing poker right now

[itsjdiggity]

Eric Snow is fugly

[FondestMemory]

I hope the Cavs win cause they have the better chance of the two to beat the Pistons.

i think they will. but the pistons still scare me.

they beat them the first meeting this year, but didn't show up for the rest. if they can get enough confidence in the first round, hopefully they can get rid of that detroit stigma that's bothered them.

i just hope lebron has a huge second half and rest of series. one game at a time.

[FondestMemory]

Eric Snow is fugly

he looks like an alien.

[FondestMemory]

triple double in his playoff debut. i can't complain.

[LPMagic]

triple double in his playoff debut. i can't complain.
He's amazing.

[Drew Beringer]

I can't wait for the Pacers game tomorrow.

[FondestMemory]

He's amazing.

- Jeff

yes he is.

and considering hughes wasn't shit and ilgauskas didn't play up to par and they still won in the fashion they did, i'm extremely happy right now. donyell did step up though, which was awesome.

but butler, arenas and jamison aren't gonna play this shitty every game. i'm stoked for the rest of them.

[somethingyellow]

I can't wait for the Pacers game tomorrow.that's how i feel about the guns game :)

I was hoping the kings would come out playing much better then they did

[Emopunkthrice]

Haslem throwing his gum at the ref was dumb

[somethingyellow]

Haslem throwing his gum at the ref was dumbYea it was. The funniest thing about it is that he got all pissed/surprised that he was thrown out

[preppyak]

I was hoping the kings would come out playing much better then they did 122-88 is not the ideal score to look at the next day...haha, and the phrase used by the NBA Fast Break guys was "This wasn't even a game...if the Spurs are vulnerable, I'd hate to see them play well"

And even though I love Dwayne Wade, I would love for Shaq to hurt his "big toe" or something so the Bulls could win this playoff series.

Wade/Shaq in combo is puting the pwn out so far

[preppyak]

Haslem throwing his gum at the ref was dumb
haha, I laughed hard at that one...good stuff

The guys speaking at halftime are inssuating he may actually get a suspension for that move...which, may not be that big a stretch

[Emopunkthrice]

[Vincewithouthee]

Yeah this Bulls-Heat game is really good right now.

[preppyak]

Yeah this Bulls-Heat game is really good right now.
yeah, but the Full Circle coverage kind of sucks...the camera angles are annoying, and the announcers, you can tell, aren't really that interested in the game as a whole

The bulls have done well so far though..especially on Dwayne Wade

[Drew Beringer]

Wade is heating up.

[Vincewithouthee]

yeah, but the Full Circle coverage kind of sucks...the camera angles are annoying, and the announcers, you can tell, aren't really that interested in the game as a whole

Yeah I agree with that. It's not that good at all.

Wade is firing up now. And at the right time too. I like the Bulls, but man I love Dwayne Wade.

[Drew Beringer]

Nocioni is a beaast.

[Emopunkthrice]

did wade just get hurt?

[Drew Beringer]

did wade just get hurt?

it was just cramps.

[preppyak]

Nocioni is a beaast.
I know, he's the reason I think they take Thomas in the draft, because he can score along with Gordon/Hinrich/Deng, and allow for the 4/5 man to be a defensive figurehead for that team. They controlled Wade well in the 4th, until he caught fire at the end and ran away with it, but even the announcers pointed out that he was struggling to score in the lane, an additional defensive threat could complete that

[preppyak]

Wade is firing up now. And at the right time too. I like the Bulls, but man I love Dwayne Wade.
yeah, i'm a Hinrich fan, and I really wanted to cheer against the Heat, but Dwayne Wade, you gotta love him

[Emopunkthrice]

clippers win woohoo, carmelo went 0-8 in the 4th quarter haha.

Close to tip-off :)

[LeftWideOpen]

this indiana-new jersey game is great. Carter just slammed home a rebound to tie it at 88 w/ 30 seconds to go.

[LeftWideOpen]

these refs are terrible. 2 awful calls against new jersey in the last minute, including this one w/ .9 to go.

pacers at the line.

[LeftWideOpen]

anthony johnson nailed it. game over.

nets fans should be furious.

[fluke182]

Why should they be furious? Refs call it tight in the playoffs and Krstic grabbed Anthony Johnson's jersey when he was going for the shot, last time I checked, that was a foul. Go Pacers, you earned this game. Also LeftWideOpen, Nets were getting all kinds of BS calls from mid 3rd on, especially the one where Carter clearly charged AJ and they called a block on it and Carter laid on the ground and cried about it. It works both ways.

there's 1 second to play, he had a hold of the jersey for about .5 seconds and he didnt even pull on it. it was a touch foul and it's pretty hard to call that w/ 1 second to play. the foul w/ about 30 seconds to go that put Jeff Foster on the line was even worse.

i'm not a nets fan lol, those were just pretty weak calls. one didnt even happen (foster's) and one was a touch foul. i'd be pretty upset if my team lost that way ...but it's only game 1.

did those two fouls against the Nets in the last minute look like crap to you? i thought the refs were really stretching it.

[Broken Parachute]

Yeah, whole end of the game looked like crap. I'm just pissed that Jefferson took the last shot. He's probably my favorite player on the Nets, but I would have probably trusted Vince Carter to take the last shot. He's good under pressure.

[somethingyellow]

yessss, huge 3 by nash :D

[somethingyellow]

Good to get that first win suns :)

He was airballing 3's all day though, so I don't know. It was a tough situation, I would definitely have Jefferson take it. He missed close too, so it's not like it was that rough.

Was it just me, or was that Memphis/Dallas game as entertaining a NBA game this season...for the first 7 minutes. That was extremely well played on both ends with TONS of hustle plays...for 7 minutes.

[Drew Beringer]

The Pacers-Nets game was the best game today. But I expect the Pacers to blow them out one game, cause they always seem to do that. I still see them winning in 6.

[ActorInThisPlay]

nah, they barely won with Vince putting up a horrible FG% and with Jefferson not scoring as much as he should. Those 2 huge factors and the Pacers still had to win on the last play.

[bigmike]

haha amazing
i'm still confused as to how people think the lakers can beat the suns in a 7 game series. this is completely baffling to me.

[itsjdiggity]

because Kwame Brown is a dominant post presence

[underoathfob55]

the nets will play better in game 2 and then win in 6

game, set, match...

I just sat through the entire 3rd quarter wondering why they even were bothering to feed it into him, they'd get a better FG% shooting half court shots...and lord help the Lakers if Kwame Brown gets fouled

[somethingyellow]

i'm still confused as to how people think the lakers can beat the suns in a 7 game series. this is completely baffling to me.Thank you, people tend to give kobe bryant too much credit I think. Don't get me wrong he is still a great player and the best player in the league. Phoenix is just a better team plain and simple. From watching that game yesterday it looks like Kobe is going to have to keep letting his teammates get involved to be the most successful.

[radiofriendly]

if anything i think yesterday gave some insight into how well this Laker team can play. The Suns were firing on all cylinders. they had stellar games for all players(minus Bell) and had the home court opener, and still only managed to beat this team by five points. not to mention that Bryant had more than 10pts less than his season avg(even more than his avg. against the Suns). Kobe can NEVER get too much credit. i don't think anybody is giving this Laker team enough credit for what they've put together. i say we wait until Kobe starts playing more like himself before anybody dictates the direction of this series.

Sure kobe was 10 points below his average, but if he starts scoring his average it is hard for me to see somebody like luke walton score 19 or anything close to it or the rest of the team to have as good of games which evens that out in my opinion. I am interested to see if kobe will take a lot more control next game (which i think will hurt the lakers even more). I still dont think this series goes to even 7 games, I wouldnt be surprised if the suns won in 5 but predict they do so in 6. The whole kobe getting too much credit was just the point that i see tons of people picking the lakers mainly just because of kobe, without looking at the whole team. If somehow the lakers win the series you can throw this in my face but the suns are a better team and have proven so all season

[preppyak]

If somehow the lakers win the series you can throw this in my face but the suns right now and this whole season are the better team
Saving this one just in case I get bored in the next couple weeks and want to start some controversy...though I do agree.

[preppyak]

and no suprise here:

Artest, Haslem suspended
The Kings and Heat will be without key players for their respective Game 2 matchups after Ron Artest and Udonis Haslem were suspended. Artest will sit against the Spurs for a forearm to Manu Ginobili, while Haslem is out vs. the Bulls for throwing his mouthpiece.

I missed the Haslem throw originally, but saw the replay and saw it again when the game reaired at like 3am taht night...it wa hilariously stupid

the Nets came out and did what they needed to do. no surprise there to me. I didn't think they would honestly lose both at home. the Pacers did what they needed to do in taking one in NJ.

[Drew Beringer]

Go Lakers!

[somethingyellow]

Very frustrating game. I can't see how the Suns can play any worse, I give credit to the lakers defense but the other part was just bad shooting and sloppy play. That 19-0 run by the lakers was the killer, which I cannot see happening again this series. They did make a nice run towards the end but that run earlier in the game with some questionable calls at the end was too much to overcome. I expect phoenix to come out running a lot more next game and playing the way that they are capable of playing. Charles Barkley said it best for the lakers to beat the suns they have to play near perfect. With that said i think phoenix will steal a game back in LA hopefully

[itsjdiggity]

Holy shit, Kobe just fucking POSTERIZED Stevie. That was SO sick, oh man, that just completely made my day.

in addition to Ricky Davis' nuts, Stevie gets some of Kobe's

[DevastatingDave]

hey what goes around comes around. Kwame got charged last game and they called it a block.

[bigmike]

if everyone is going to complain about every missed charge, then no one will have time for anything else. nba officials call alot of blocks when they should be charges. it's how the game's played, big deal.
