NBA Playoffs: Conference Semis

[Damaramu]

Why the hell did Dallas have to win? I wanted that mismatch to end. They're just delaying the inevitable.

 

[Golgo]

Very disappointed the Nuggets dropped this after their start and letting it slip late, but it had to be known the Mavs would come back strong. They'll be able to ice it in Denver anyway.

 

[Psycho Penguin]

You know, Dallas could be tied 2-2 in this series right now. Amazing considering how much better Denver is.

 

[Star Ocean 2]

I want to see Adam Morrison play tonight.

 

[Damaramu]

So Big Baby apologized. Damn.
You know if it was Dwight Howard who hit the game winner and knocked that kid over then the kid would probably never wash his shirt again.
Then again the Magic don't give the ball to Howard at the end of the games so he probably wouldn't hit the GW. So it's a moot point.

 

[jimmy no nose]

Well hey it looks like the refs found a way to potentially ruin another game. Way to go guys.

 

[alfdogg]

Chin up, everyone.

DANNY GRANGER WAS NAMED MOST IMPROVED PLAYER TODAY.

All is well in the NBA today.

 

[MFer]

Shaq's looking more and more right each day when it comes to his assessment of Stan Van Gundy. I mean, how many games has Orlando blown in these playoffs? Not to mention the games that they almost gave away.

 

[Precious Roy]

This is more like it Lake Show

 

[909]

Much better. Clearly they took the Yao-less Rockets seriously this time.

 

[Chosun One]

Chin up, everyone.

DANNY GRANGER WAS NAMED MOST IMPROVED PLAYER TODAY.

All is well in the NBA today.

At least we won something.

[OG]

What moron voted for Jermaine O'Neal?

 

[Damaramu]

I think we all know the real reason Denver is marching towards an NBA title

Yeah, I said it.

 

[Golgo]

Nuggets over Lakers in 4.

 

[still fly]

No dawg, Nuggets by forfeit

 

[naiwf]

I'm rooting for Nuggets vs Magic for the title.

 

[Vitamin X]

I'm rooting for Nuggets vs Magic for the title.

Same here. Anything but Kobe-Lebron.

 

[Next USC #55]

I'm sorry but it's quite offputting to see you, a former staunch Lakers fan, totally turn on the team now. (to VX)

 

[Psycho Penguin]

Nuggets/Magic or bust.

 

[still fly]

Yes, because the nation is just dying to see Carmelo vs Howard!

 

[Psycho Penguin]

Yes, because the nation is just dying to see Carmelo vs Howard!

Now I REALLY hope it happens.

 

[Next USC #55]

Ok, that's enough of the Magic, alright? As long as Dwight Howard refuses to put the team on his back in the playoffs and as long as Stan Van Gundy is their coach, the Magic will not be seeing NBA finals. It's time to accept the reality. It WILL be Lakers (Nuggets have an outside shot, maybe) vs Cavaliers (I'd say Celtics has a shot, but in all honesty, they don't).

And I don't understand people getting upset with the Lakers fans for expecting a Finals trip this year. Have you guys EVEN seen the Lakers this year? They won 1 game less than the Cavaliers, and this was done when half of their games has been played halfassed, basically. They ARE that good. Accept it.

You haven't been around much in the past 3 years or so huh.

 

[still fly]

It's not a big deal, Porter. Let the Laker haters have their fun now. I have confidence in my team that they can win it all, and it'll be just as sweet to talk shit if or when my Lakers win it.

I think the Lakers are good enough to make it, but it's not a shoo-in like their fans seem to think. That's all. Denver is really playing better than the Lakers right now.

 

[still fly]

Denver's playing well, but they have played the Mavs and Hornets. Let's see them against a legit team like the Lakers. If the season series is any indication, the Lakers are the superior team.

Gotta get past Houston first though.

Honestly, I'd rather see the Lakers win than the Cavs. I like Kobe a lot, and I've long thought he's the best player in the league.
