2008-09 NBA Playoffs

[Flames24Rulz]

A Denver/Orlando Finals would be phenomenally hilarious.

 

Bavetta, Crawford, Javie, et. al. will be strategically deployed to make sure that doesn't happen.

 

Agreed. It'd be nice to think about though.

There is no NBA ref conspiracy. Not after Donaghy.

just give the lakers the win already

[Vanilla Ice]

Go Nuggets

[SpongeWorthy]

Stupid Nuggets.

What the [expletive] type of inbounds pass was that? Why is Carter even playing in crunch time?

[Guest]

Anyone know if Denver had a timeout left?

 

If so, not sure why they didn't call one there instead of lofting in a weak inbounds pass to a guy who was covered.

I thought the game was ref'd pretty well. There were a bunch of calls (and non-ob-calls) that went Denver's way, too.

they were out.

LeBron just does whatever he wants, it's ridiculous. Who else can go dunk, swat Dwight Howard, knock down 3 in succession?

I have been saying this from the start of the playoffs. The Cavs are going to win the NBA Championship and the finals wont go 6 games.

[Derwood]

and jsut like that, the Magic leads

[TruffleShuffle]

wait what the hell cleveland?

[Rusch33]

Surprise - Cleveland actually plays someone with a pulse and they're having problems with them.

If Orlando was going to win a game this series, it was going to be this game.

[Guest]

If Orlando was going to win a game this series, it was going to be this game.

 

Nevermind that Orlando beat Cleveland twice this year in Orlando.

 

I know the Cavs are a very good team and are playing well right now, but come on, they've played two horrible teams in the postseason. They're not just going to completely stomp Orlando because Orlando actually, you know, doesn't suck (unlike Detroit and Atlanta).

 

That's not to say I think Orlando is going to win this series but I don't think it's going to be nearly as easy as everybody thinks it's going to be.

[Guest]

It's just like everyone jumping all over Denver's jock even though they played a Hornets team that had quit on the season and a Mavericks team that wasn't all that great and only advanced because Ginobili was injured.

 

It's not to say that Denver isn't a good team, they just look better because they didn't play the best of teams.

[ELCABALLO45]

And the Lakers have beat a horrible Utah team. And went 7 games with a McGrady/Yao less Rocket team.

 

And the Magic have beat a KG less Celtic team and the Sixers. You can say that about any team left in the playoffs.

Utah is better than New Orleans and way, way better than Detroit and Philadelphia.

 

I think it's clear that Houston without McGrady is at least even to Houston with McGrady and you could make the argument that they're actually better. And the Rockets played LA tough the first couple games when Yao was still healthy. Houston without Yao, I'll give you, but they're probably still better than most of the crap the East can throw out there after the Big 3.

lebron james is good.

[ELCABALLO45]

lebron james is good.

 

I heard he isn't a "killer" tho...

[Guest]

If Howard would have just stood there he might have picked up the charge. He was definitely there before LeBron took off.

[Guest]

That shouldn't have been a foul on Howard.

It seems the whole city of LA thinks this way. They can't get a grip that Lebron has passed Kobe.

[Guest]

Wow, what an awesome game.
