NBA Playoffs!!...Who will Win the Ring??

wishihadnav

^yup i agree...Lakers will make the Finals and the Cavs will to..Cavs have a much harder road tho cuz they will have to meet Orlando if they get through Boston...these two series will be a war with MUCH higher likelyhood of injuries for the Cavs..if they're healthy after all this they will be favored in the Finals.

great points.

Did anyone notice how Rondo basically quit after that collision with Shaq? Little bastard was running free down the baselines until someone finally got in his way, I must say, I was a bit amused by this.

lol, rondo was straight killin' it, then shaq smacked him down. i love how fragile the celtics are. and i'll say it again - any team (detroit being the fluke) relying on sheed in the clutch will fail. it's a known fact of life. guaransheed fail!!!

i'm not on the laker bandwagon. i'm a portland fan through and through (except when sheed and randolph wore the blazer uniform...*shudder*), but i can't stand how lebron cultivates this humble personality when in reality (i.e. when he forgets to keep his image together) he's a total douchebag. every sports writer and analyst builds a shrine to him, it's ridiculous.

i can at least agree that the dude will be one of the most dominant players of all time, if not THE dominant force of all time. but i will NEVER appreciate him the same way i respect someone like kevin durant.

who saw the game anyway? mo williams got hot in g1, but that's the most ridiculous i've EVER seen him play. some of those fades were straight up ridiculous, you'd NEVER shoot that in a proper offense. looks like d-wade forgot his hand somewhere and mo picked it up

anyhow, against the fakers..er, flakers - dammit, LAKERS - their bench will eat the purple and gold's ALIVE. i mean, everybody does these days, right? lol

oh btw bynum's playing hurt. in other news, the sky is blue.

It's just a matter of time for KD's ego to kick in. Lebron was sincerely humble at one point also. Now he just throw's that term around like it's nothing. In fact there is nothing humble about the way he uses the word.

Relatively speaking though I would say he's one of the more mature superstar ego's in the league given his age. I grew up watching Magic, Bird and than Jordan. They were all cocky and don't even mention Kobe during his championship run. Kobe is a lot more mature now....so it's easier to like him.

As for Mo Williams...I have a theory on that. If you watched the 08-09 reg season..Mo was absolutely on fire. You felt like whatever shot he threw up was going in. And so everyone expected him to kill the playoffs alongside Lebron. But then he choked the entire postseason....and I think any Cavs fan will tell you that he didn't resemble what he was in the reg season. I personally think the Cavs made it a huge point to not rely on Mo in the reg season this year. If you watch the games closely the only games Mo showed up to were the big name games. ORL, Celts, and Lakers. I found that very interesting. It was almost as if they were preserving him throughout the entire reg. season

Yeah I think that was the whole point of the hard foul....to scare the little smurf from coming in again. He would've been the reason they won that game. Shaq has a knack for scaring the little ones that enjoy penetration like that...as weird as that sounds

Red370

Little shyt was tearing us up with his little floaters and baseline drives, twas starting to piss me off a bit how easy it was for him to sneak through, I called that foul.. In fact I was telling my brother how someone needed to get in front when he comes in and toss him to the deck, which strangely happened about 30 seconds later. Honestly I'm suprised he shrugged it off without injury, he hit the deck pretty hard. But its so amazing to me how the whole team just shut down after that, once your supply man loses confidence and fears driving to the lane, the nights over.

BTW, PP is just a shadow of his former self, what was his FG % for that game? 18%?

oh and I must admit, I was a bit worried when Ray started to heat up behind the arc, usually once he hits 2 in a row, 3 or 4 follow, thank god for that nasty nasty home crowd.

Ray Allen is old but he is the scariest person on that team IMO....you really can't guard him bc once the screen is set he gets his shot off so fast. You kinda just hope he's off that day. When I see him wide open I just assume it's automatic....Coming off the screen and shooting is one thing but that is just one guy you cannot afford to leave wide open.

Red370

As much as I love Mo, Delante West has been lights out from beyond the arc this season.. the guy hits clutch shots, never really been a fan of his before this season, I think hes a good replacement for Mo off the bench, or when Mo isnt having a good game, I think hes going to have a good one tonight.

D West is a mini Lebron IMO. He can shoot, defend, pass and throw down some thunderous dunks. He will show up big throughout the rest of the playoffs for the Cavs bench....

Celtics are a buncha girls...nuff said

Red370

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the nasty facial PP recieved from lil' Mo (first dunk in a Cavs uni).


Posterized (nightmares for weeks)

come on Boston!...wait did i just say that!?!!?..haha.

Red370

what a fukn laughable display tonight, lebron was garbage, I wonder how many points were scored off his turnovers, not to mention how the game would have turned out if we could make free throws, probably would have won by 30 (facetious), what a goddamn joke man. I hope we actually show up to the game in Boston.
