If the NBA playoffs started today...

[PunkVideoGuys]

Who do you pick to win the western conference?

[S/T]

One of the teams in the NBA thread.

But probably L.A.

[AshesAshes]

Haha, the Jazz..

[PunkVideoGuys]

somehting to think about:

if we started today the lakers wouldnt have bynum, and now the mavs wouldnt have Dirk.

[rcrook]

i would pick the jazz if every game was played at home in utah, sadly thats not how it goes

[livethesounds]

right now would be completely different than from the actual end of the season, but since that's what your'e asking it's gotta be San Antonio RIGHT NOW.

I know they're struggling right now (even though they won two straight...but before that lost 5 of 6) but I still think they take anyone in a 7 game series. the only team i see being a roadblock for them (again, for right now) is New Orleans. Everyone else is banged up, otherwise LA would be up there.
Utah has a shot as well.

[pshh]

i love baron davis

[shit stroll]

the hawks will beat the celtics in the first round.... guaranteed

[livethesounds]

the hawks can barely beat the teams chasing them.

[S/T]

the hawks will beat the celtics in the first round.... guaranteed

If they had 7 or 8 Al Horfords, yes.

[xbrokendownx]

i really like the hawks too, especially with bibby. i love joe johnson and now he doesnt have to play the point which is huge. they have a tremendous amount of talent in their lineup, they just have to put it all together

[shit stroll]

Bibby, Johnson, M. Williams, J .Smith, Horford. you cant fuck with that starting lineup. we do need a new coach and a little more depth and a another solid big. Horford should win rookie of the year hands down, it would be a crime if he didn't. dude is a fucking beast

[shit stroll]

they need to fire mike woodson. dude cant coach his way out of a fucking rubber

[AshesAshes]

Phoenix might be dangerous their flying under the radar. They have 7 straight wins right now everything is coming together.

[somethingyellow]

Phoenix might be dangerous their flying under the radar. They have 7 straight wins right now everything is coming together.Thats what Im hoping. If i had to pick right now I'd still go with the Spurs though

[xbrokendownx]

durant is winning ROY, sorry bro

[AshesAshes]

Durant is ROY my only complaint about him is he needs to get better at rebounding.

[shit stroll]

bullshit politics. horford eats pieces of shit like durant for breakfast.

[rcrook]

ladies and gentleman....the new TAYF152

[AshesAshes]

Hahahaha

Hawks might not even make the playoffs.

[xbrokendownx]

ya'll eat pieces of shit? whats the basis

[rcrook]

youre wrong theyre a top 5 team

[shit stroll]

im so looking forward to watching the hawks these next few years. i think we will be a 50+ game winner next year. i seriously think we will have the best starting five in the east.

and the hawks will make the playoffs this year.

[xbrokendownx]

there are these 2 teams called the Celtics and Pistons who have a little to say about that...

[AshesAshes]

I hate the Hawks now.

[Scott Weber]

One of the teams in the NBA thread.

But probably L.A.
WOW, YOU ARE SO COOL! WE CAN NEVER HAVE FOCUSED CONVERSATION IN HERE!!!! MAX SPORTS FORUM SCENE POINTS FOR YOU!!!!!!!!


:dunce:

[LeftWideOpen]

it honestly wouldnt surprise me if any out of about 6 teams won the conference, but I'm going with the Spurs because of the experience. The window hasn't closed on that team yet.

Hawks will be lucky to be a .500 team next year.

[rcrook]

i say spurs, i voted lakers but the spurs are the team to beat in the west no matter what the standings say

[StandMyBrothers]

I'm bummed Durant is going to win ROTY. I like Scola so much more than him, but Durant is just an NBA Stud for years to come.

[Scott Weber]

well....durant is having a far better year.

[StandMyBrothers]

he still has a terrible shooting percentage ;-), but its been improving.

[Scott Weber]

Haha and Scola doesn't even average 10 points a game and averages 63% from the line...

Both players were worse before the AS break, after the break Scola has 12.7 ppg and 7 boards, Durant has 20.2 and 4, shooting .469 from the field (pretty damn good for his position, team, and role), and is shooting nearly 90% from the line. He stopped launching so many threes and he's been a lot better. Hell, his FG% in March is .520.

[StandMyBrothers]

ya Scola improved when he went into the starting lineup and when Yao got hurt. Durant has been a lot better, hell even Al Thornton looked good. I can't wait for KD is an Oklahoma uniform :-p

[Scott Weber]

Oklahoma City jokes are just mean, I get downright depressed when people say them. I can't even take it in stride, it's like my entire youth/upbringing just disappearing. Sucks. Really hope a private group can pull something out, there's still time.

[StandMyBrothers]

haha sorry man. If only New Orleans sucked balls this year and next year, there would Oklahoma City Hornets jokes.

[rcrook]

San Diego Sonics would be nice.

[StandMyBrothers]

Not going to lie that would be cool to on a vacation down there and see a Sonics game, but the San Diego Sports Arena sucks balls.

[Scott Weber]

Southern California does not need another team they can turn their backs on the minute they struggle.

[StandMyBrothers]

Clippers should move to Anaheim. I hate going to Staples Center.

[rcrook]

yeah i dont see why they dont move to anaheim. play in the honda center/share it with the ducks. they could keep los angeles in front of the name, we do it with the angels anyways.

[StandMyBrothers]

Los Angeles Clippers of Anaheim. Might as well change the Ducks to the Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim. Perfect marketing.

[Drew Beringer]

I hope the Sonics stay in Seattle too, for the sake of Weebs

And Dallas is fucked. Watch Denver leap frog them.

[rcrook]

i dont understand why denver isnt better than what they are right now

[Chris M.]

Because they are awful defensively.

[S/T]

I can't wait for KD is an Oklahoma uniform :-p

ha They had a thing in the paper the other day for people to create and send in their own uniform designs.
