NBA Finals baby!

 

And Griffin...that wasn't very classy, but it was awesome! Haha.

Count me as a Dallas fan for a couple weeks. :)

i'm pretty sure that Dirk is the coolest Kraut (German) of all time.

Predictions: Detroit and Phoenix both win their respective game 6's.

 

For all you betters out there, when I make a prediction, you can be sure that it won't come true.

Same here. I wanted Phoenix to get eliminated and Dallas did that for me so I have to pull for them in the final. That and I don't really want Shaq to win another title.

[Brian]

So if the Cubs ever won anything, would MacPhail react like Cuban is now :(

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was one hell of a comeback. Bring on the heat!

[Outshined_One]

Avery's "Seamen" comment was quite possibly the weirdest moment of the night. :-s

[hawkcub]

Here's to the Mav's sweeping the Heat. At the very least the ref's calling some of the 50 fouls Shaq will commit in the Finals. Yes I hate Shaquille O'neal.

[wolf stansson]

This will be a good series only if Shaq can sustain his current intensity. Otherwise it'll be a Dallas massacre. No one on the Heat can hope to guard Dirk.

[da bears]

Wow it looks like I'm in the minority of cheering for the Heat. I really just hope this is as entertaining as each of the first three rounds has been. Hopefully a game 7 is in check.

Fixed.

 

Not a Mav's fan, but less of a Heat fan. Heres to seeing them be embarrassed and swept.

You have 3-4 days to change who you're cheering for. Otherwise, you'll pay the consequences when we get back to Mizzou. :lol:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'd like to point out that I was going to be rooting for the Mavs even before the threat of physical violence was presented if I didn't.

Agreed. I'm pulling for the Mavs but I really want a close series that goes 7 games and I would be content with the Heat winning if this was the case. Also, I'm going to be disappointed if Dallas wins in 4 or 5.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I will NOT be dissapointed if Dallas wins in four or five.

[Big Fergie J]

Well I guess I'm definitely in the minority here but I like the Heat in 6.

 

<<<<< expecting negative replies...keep them clean...thanks.

[Mark_R]

Heat in 6.

All games are televised nationally on ABC and the times are on West Coast time because that's where I live and I'm tired of Eastern and Central times.

 

Post 2700 as well.

Please forgive the lateness of this reply but, what happened to the Pistons? Where's that team I saw in Dec, Jan and Feb that had people talking of them in same breath as the 95-96 Bulls (72-10 Regular Season, 15-2 Playoffs)? As a Bulls fan I'm of course, happy to see the Pistons go down but, nevertheless surprised. Turns out, these Piston weren't even close to those 95-96 Bulls...

And, to boot, this might be their swan song. The team isn't getting any younger, and its always hard to keep players together, satisfied and happy. Wallace might leave...and you can only keep playing a certain brand of basketball before someone figures you out.

We're going to see how much the players really like Flip Saunders now.

Darko hired a Balto-Ugric Shaman to steal their luck, imo.
