So the playoffs are coming on Sunday. My Lakers have the second best record in the league behind the Cavs.They are the number 1 seed in the west. It looks like they are going up against the Jazz in the first round.I looks like Andrew Bynum is healthy for the playoffs so if they go up against Boston than it will be a evener match up.

Who are you rooting for?

Garnett

Also, there is an NBA playoff thread but there was no March Madness thread? This place is all backwards. Although this year WAS kind of meh, UNC had won it before it even started.

So the Hawks beat the Heat tonight.Do you guys think the Hawks will win that series?

So the Lakers beat the Jazz today.I'm pretty happy with the Lakers.They were pretty dominating as a team.

Well the Laker/Jazz series could end on Monday if the Lakers win game 5 at home. The series is 3-1 Lakers.

Well the Lakers had a good game. They really only made a few mistakes. The bench did a good job. Kobe was dominate from the outset.

Celtics all the way....

Too bad we don't have any big men left.

That is too bad Stogi.I think the Celtics will either make it to the Conferance Finals or the NBA finals. The latter is a stretch but its possible.

You cheer for the Saints and The Celtics, WTF?

I root for players. Drew Brees and KG.

Meh, a bunch of Lakers and Celtics fans... BLECH!

The playoffs are dead to me because Steve Kerr ruined my team...

That said, I'm pulling for Atlanta and Orlando mostly.

I'm a Bulls fan, so I find this sentiment pretty amusing. I thought John Paxon ruined my team too, but it looks as if they're tougher than I thought.

John Paxon ruined my team too... but he did it on the floor.

PS: I'm pulling for the Bulls too. I had Derrick Rose all year in fantasy and I've become a fan of him as well.

Ray Allen is too good for his ass though!

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #15 on:** April 28, 2009, 05:24:51 PM »

I love the Celtics, but man are they struggling. I don't think they have a prayer of even making it to the finals...they have no Garnett and a pretty shallow bench right now. Defensively without Garnett they're having a tough time containing Rose. He seems to be able to score at will.

Last game was awesome even though the Celts lost. Both Rose and Rondo had good games, and a double overtime is always exciting. Ray Allen hitting that three at the end of regulation was epic, too bad they couldn't finish it. But hey, the longer the series the better because it just means I get to see more basketball (provided the Celts eventually advance

)

Well the Lakers won their series.4-1. Denver has a commanding 3-1 lead on the Hornets. Looks like the Nuggets are going to win that series. The Mavericks is a 6 seed but it looks like they are going to beat the Spurs the 3 seed. Mavs got a 3-1 lead. The Rockets have a nice lead on the Blazers.3-1

You guys think there is a chance that the teams with one win can come back?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:02:57 PM »

Well the Celtics/Bulls series is going to start on TNT. After that game is the Spurs/Mavs. Should be fun to watch.

D_Average · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:16:25 PM »

Go Bulls!! Even though I have no faith you'll close the deal.....

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2009, 08:08:25 PM »

Well it is halftime and the score is 47-44 Bulls are winning.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:42:16 PM »

Overtime? AGAIN? This is nuts.

Also major props to the Bull's for playing a better technical game than the Celtics. From all the offensive switching to getting Allen to foul out off the ball...well done.

EDIT:

Wow. That was nuts.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:21:08 PM »

Well it came down to free throws and the Bulls couldn't come through. It was a two point game.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:43:29 PM »

Halftime: The Mavs are leading.It is a 4 point game.

Well it was a bit more than that...it was an a layup air ball, followed by a missed free throw, followed by a complete misunderstanding of the rules (seriously you NEED TO HIT THE RIM), all combined with Pierce shooting perfectly at the end.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2009, 12:10:32 AM »

Well I thought that if they made their freethrows it might of been possible to win.

Mavs won their series.
