Re: [NBA] The Official NBA Playoffs/Finals Thread 2012said by I AM:Spurs are the team to beat now. I'm not a basketball fan but living here in San Antonio, I can't not hear how they are doing. They seem to be on fire. |

for the love of God, I hope Jerry Buss/Mitch Kupchak can find a way to sign Deron Williams this offseason. |

So much for LA NBA teams this postseason. Clippers swept by the Spurs and Lakers defeated 4-1 by OKC.
It's disappointing really. I expected the Lakers to put out more of an effort vs OKC and make a good series.
I'd give the edge to the Spurs for the west (vs OKC).
For the East, I think Boston will beat the 76ers to get into the semifinals. Miami might beat the Pacers if Lebron can play at a high level consistently and DWade as well. The Heat's bench sucks though. Almost never scores more than 10 points in a game lately. |

I expect everyone on their team to match Kobe's intensity.
As of now, no one on that team deserves to be playing professional bball. Bynum loligags sooo hard. He hardly works on offense at all. Pau is only paying attention for half games and nothing seems to get the couch excited. The whole time Kobe's fighting and scoring 42. Are you kidding ? I watched last nights game and now I wish I wouldn't. No one wants to see the greats lose to lack of effort from EVERYONE else on the team. |

Great win by Miami tonight.
If Boston and Miami both finish their opponent in the next game (both up 3-2); then they'll meet in the semi-finals for the East. |

It would be great for the old timers to beat the Heats. Spurs and Thunders will be a GREAT series. |
|
|
Is anyone actually hoping to see Lebron win ?
I am hoping he loses in the finals. So it can be even funnier to watch. |

Boston failed to close out Philly today. Game 7 on Saturday in TD Garden.
Go Boston! |

LETS GO SIXERS!!!!!!!!!! Last time a #8 seed went to the finals was a lockout. Just saying. |

Solid win by the Heat in game 6 to finish off the "soft" Pacers. Now it'll be Heat and the 76ers or Celtics for the East.
No matter who wins (Boston or 76ers), it ought to be a good series vs Miami. |

Solid win by Boston to finish off the 76ers in game 7.
It's now Miami vs Boston for the East and OKC vs Spurs for the West. |

i hate Lebron BUT i am half Filipino. That is why i am rooting for the Miami coach, Spoelstra. It just so happen that Lebron is in the team.
i think they have 3 quarters chances of winning |

Looks like Heats will be in the Finals. Great win for the Spurs. Spurs vs. OKC is still up in the air. Going to be a great series. |
|
|
I don't see the spurs dropping more than a game to OKC. They are fundementally SOLID. Its going to be tough for Lebron and company to beat them in the finals. I would hope they can take care of the old man celtics.
I support the movement for a championshipless King. |

C's may be done. Rondo played out of his mind yesterday and they still came up short. |
|
|
Even greats waiver with age. I see this as a time for Rondo to say its time for the team to be his and to shipout the old men. This kids a star living under the weight of dieing legends. |

They should get Rondo and Bynum together!!! Those two with their temperment would be great entertainment. One night Rondo would get you 20-20-20 and Bynum could get you 25 points and 30 rebounds. The next night they could be pissed off and just play a dud or tell their coach I'm going to expand my game to threes. |
|
|
Lol. After this season I doubt anyone wants Bynum.
Theres really only one star center right now and thats howard. Others may have better teams, but howard has the ability to carry a team and as a center thats pretty impressive. |

It's great OKC and Boston are trying to make a series of they're matchups with the teams their facing.
I wouldn't mind if OKC won the West. They're playing hard and smart these days. |
|
KeepOnRockin |
It's quite interesting that OKC have pushed the Spurs to the brink of elimination by winning in San Antonio tonight.
Who would have thought after game 2 that OKC would beat them 3 times in a row?
Also, Boston tied the series with Miami.
Could we have a OKC vs Boston finals? It would be great. |

I kept hearing on sports talk shows yesterday blah blah blah about how Dwade needs to step up and Lebron didn't leave Miami for Cleveland part 2. People stop giving Lebum a pass! |
