NBA Playoffs

GreekGodX · 04-18-2009, 06:20 AM

Today starts the NBA playoffs and there are a lot of interesting matchups:

Eastern Conference
#1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. #8 Detroit Pistons
#2 Orlando Magic vs. #7 Chicago Bulls
#3 Boston Celtics vs. #6 Philadelphia 76ers
#4 Atlanta Hawks vs. #5 Miami Heat

Western Conference
#1 Los Angeles Lakers vs. #8 Utah Jazz
#2 Denver Nuggets vs. #7 New Orleans Hornets
#3 San Antonio vs #6 Dallas Mavericks
#4 Portland Trail Blazers vs. #5 Houston Rockets

The East is full of upsets but at the end of the day who can stop Cleveland?(more importantly LeBron). LA is going to cruise to the finals IMO. Should be an interesting playoffs at the least.

Even though I have a feeling they are going to lose GO PISTONS!!

GreekGodX · 04-18-2009, 06:47 AM

As far as I'm concerned the Pistons are the only team in the NBA. They are gonna' squash LeBron like grape!

Good job by your Bulls today. Excellent game.

It's a long-shot, but I'm hoping for my Trailblazers to make a run deep into the playoffs. Being in the same bracket as the Lakers will make it even harder to get to the Finals. But first, bring on the Rockets!

Rip city Uprise!

Was a great game by Denver yesterday. Loved that one....

If they can play like that throughout the playoffs, we might just surprise a few people and make the conference finals or maybe the NBA finals (hey I can dream big too

)

GreekGodX · 04-20-2009, 11:16 AM

I really think Denver has a chance to make it to the finals. If Chauncey can play like he did last night against L.A then they have a great chance.

Man how I would love for them to make the NBA finals... would definitely be a highlight for me. Been a nuggets fan for several decades now and we can't seem to make a decent run for a title...

One of only 7 teams I think never to win a championship in the NBA...

When teams like Boston have 17 it definitely makes ya think its time for one here in Denver!

i dont like that statement.

Mo Williams is the reason why Lebron shines. True, Cleveland could not win the title without LBJ... They could also not win it without Mo.... or maybe even Delonte West.

Regardless. the Cavs will win it, they want it more than the Lakers. This will be Clevelands first title victory since 1948 when the browns won (what would be) the super bowl. Besides, chemistry is a known word in Cleveland....

I am rooting for the Orlando Magic this year b/c I loved them back when Penny Hardaway and Shaq were on the same team. I know they won't win though, so I hope Cleveland wins. LeBron is a beast.
