that was by far the best game of the playoffs so far. 2 OT games and a near buzzer beater so far in the series, this is amazing. I still think my celts will come out on top, but why not be entertained on the way

this celtics/bulls game/series is ridiculous.

Celtics have a chance, as they Celtic's doctor said that KG still has a chance of playing if Boston makes it to the Finals w/o his help.

But, your right, this is clearly IMO either the Mavs/Lakers/Cavs ga,e.

I'm liking the Mavericks kicking Spurs butt, Mavericks should be an easy KO next round too for whoever they face (yes, I hate Texas teams, w/e).

Just explain your dislike for Houston and my soul can finally rest happily. I like all of the Texas teams as long as my team isnt playing them.

That Chi/Boston series is gonna end with a bang no matter how you slice it. Hopefully Houston stamps out the Blazers tonight and put them in a bad place.

I am extremely happy to see the Pistons not go more than a round, the team just dosent deserve to imo, im tired of seeing them. Wallace did give them a hell of a performance with 0 points and 4 boards though.

Eh, it's not that I don't like the Rockets, it's just that I don't like Texas (the state). The Mavericks and Spurs, I hate because because they're in Texas and for the obvious reasons of me being a Suns fan.
 
I was at the pistons/cavs game yesterday and it was pretty awesome. Just as many Cavs fans their, and by the end almost exclusively clevelanders. You could tell before the game even started that the Cavs were going to win. The mood on the Pistons bench was somber, nobody was dancing or excited, their heads hung low. The Cavs didn't even come close to giving it their all either.

I can't see anybody beating them in the Eastern Conference. Not even a chance. i know the piston's aren't great, but sweeping the series and winning each game by double digits is still mighty impressive.
 
The Nuggets are blowing out the Hornets right now. 61-39 at the half.

Calling Nuggets to be this year's dark horse.
 
Hornets were a pretty high seed last year. What happened? Other than inconsistency from Chandler, they pretty much have the same roster. With the addition of James Posey, I thought would have made the Hornets better. I didn't know Chauncey Billups could make the team insanely better. I thought when Camby was gone, Nuggets would be a low threat. But their overall in the season and playoffs proved me otherwise.
 
.....So just what do you do after a game like that? I think if I was a Hornets fan, I would need a really, really stiff drink. At least Scott should be gone after this year, which is good for them.

Homerism is probably kicking in here, but I would argue that the Rockets are superior to the Nuggets, especially since we won the season series against them. As far as I'm concerned, LA is really the only thing standing between us and championship (we can kick Cleveland's ass), and while we probably won't beat them, we do, and I'll like our chances.
 
We dont have pargo anymore who scored 15+ points in the playoffs each game last year. Antonia Daniels just isnt as good. Also West had been very very bad this series

I think the Nuggets' year just shows people how undervalued Billups actually has been over the past 6 or 7 years. I also think it's a prime example that teams in the NBA kind of identify with their best players. When you have somebody who's completely wreckless like Allen Iverson, the team starts to play like that. Then Billups comes in, and the team starts to play with a ton of discipline.

I do agree with Kay that Houston may be better than Denver. Right now, there's nobody in the league who can stop Yao Ming, and the Rockets have Ron Artest and Shane Battier, 2 guys who can take turns guarding anybody, and Aaron Brooks has emerged as a young scorer.
 
Rockets also have the best chance to beat the cavs because Artest and Battier are two of the best if no the best small forward defenders in the nba and should be able to prevent lebron from going absolutely crazy. I'm supporting the rockets since my hornets hopes are pretty much gone
 
In the Hornet's case, its pretty much CP3+whatever vs Nuggets+Billups. Billups has really made the team a whole lot better and Hornets are just beatup going into this post season, you really have nobody outside of Chris Pual.

Also, mavericks owning the spurs at the moment, up 10 with 3:30 left! R2 vs Nuggets ^_^.
 
Yay, Spurs are OUT!

*waits for Mavericks to fall next round*

I am surprised at how poorly the Hornets are doing...guess I underestimated the Nuggets and how much they've improved since last year.
