Official NBA thread

HA. I find that funny because when he goes on his tears...its 1 on 5...last I checked Kobe didn't average 108 per in the reg season. We can outscore him. The reason they've been winning is because he is actually passing the ball. Let him shoot, we can outscore one man, he averaged 42 per against us and his team was 1-3 (the one win we could care less about, so technically in games that everyone tried in, he was winless). So as far as I'm concerned, let him score 60, jack up 40+ shots tomorrow...his mates will be lucky to get 35 as a group.

 

Don't forget See Red, we led the league in scoring at 108 points per. I think we'll be alright in a scoring battle with Kobe.

 

EDIT: Oh, and Nash was the rightful winner of the MVP...theres no question. If Kobe played like he has in this series all year, it would have been closer, or he might have won it. But thats hypothetical, Nash winning it wasn't, and this won't last; we are talking about Kobe Bryant afterall.

 

Why would his teammates be lucky to get 35 as a group? It's not as though the Suns are any good at defense. When Kobe gets into a zone, he scores more because he's more efficient, not just because he takes more shots. His teammates shots will come.

 

You're a team that depends on the 3... that's not a good thing in the playoffs because you're playing on tired legs. It's a dangerous line to be walking when you need to win 3 straight.

But don't be surprised if kobe just embarrass this kid tonight. He will make him look silly.

 

I think I will be surprised because Raja isn't playing tonight due to suspension. And he is two years older than Kobe so you can't call him a "kid."

Kobe did!

 

"Do I know this kid? Who is this kid?..."

 

Brilliant response by Kobe.

So who saw LeBron travel last night?

[Manny Goes Boom]

YESSIR!!!!!!!!!!! Kobe dropped 50 and they loose. Game 7 on Saturday IN PHOENIX!!! YESSIR! Tim Thomas is amazing...simply amazing. Wow! :thumbsup:

[See Red]

Can't say it was Kobe's fault. Luke Walton had the ball when he shouldn't have, sometimes.

 

Kobe made some jaw-dropping shots, though. He did his part.

Nice work Moose.

Eh, not totally sure Kobe was trying to play much defense, there. The outcome was in no doubt.

 

Anyways... great news, everybody! The Nuggets have decided to part ways with Kiki Vandeweghe! As if I needed a reason to drink in celebration, it's already Cinco De Mayo and a Friday!

I'm sure Laker fans that said this series was over once the Lakers took a 3-1 advantage look pretty stupid now. "There's no way the Suns will win three in a row." DO NOT COUNT THE SUNS OUT.

You still can't convince me that this is a team that can beat the Spurs or Mavericks.

Boris Diaw is a f***ing animal.

Indeed. And to think, he was a "throw in" in the Joe Johnson trade...:thumbsup: MIP baby!

well i wasent far off

[Manny Goes Boom]

well i wasent far off

 

That's true, you were the closest I saw (except a guy I know picked 121 for the Suns score, but yeah...) I give you props. :thumbsup:

[redsoxrules]

so round 2 is set , my pick to win on the right

 

Mavs VS Spurs (4-2 mavs)

Clippers VS Suns (4-2 suns)

 

Cavaliers VS Pistons (4-1 pistons)

Nets VS Heat (4-3 nets)

I would love to see that out west. The Clippers will be tough but it definately will be a good series (May the best team win Moose and BEAT the Spurs/Mavs and win the title ), this year we either blasted them or they blasted us. So it might be a shootout with them. And if we we're to get that far (past them to the Western Conference Finals) I would LOVE to see Dallas over the Spurs.

well i picked the mavs cause they are my favorit team , tough loss today they should have won that game

Oh thats right. I forgot...well my view on the playoffs is if the Suns don't get in the Finals, I will pull for any other team to get in the Finals besides San Antonio (for one I HATE them, and also I'm sick of seeing them there; probably because I hate them, but hey...) so yeah, I'm pulling for you guys to win your series.

 

And I kinda feel the same way about Detroit, but for basketball I really don't care alot about the east, but if it happened to be SA/DET again this year, like last year I will pull for Detroit (but I HOPE it isn't, games that the two teams COMBINE to score like 160 aren't fun to watch, IMO). But if it was like Phoenix/Detroit or Dallas/Detroit or LAC/Detroit or whoever from the East with those three from the West (NO SPURS!!!) I would enjoy it, because last year I lost interest after the Conference Finals.

[redsoxrules]

Mavs even their series with an impressive win 113-91 , i only got to see the first half of the game (dam work) . I dont know if just me but the spurs seem to be a tired team, they dont seem to have any jump at all . Its now on to dallas were they were 34-7 during the year . GO MAVS!! :thumbsup:

[Manny Goes Boom]

Bump...

 

Suns win tonight in a very close game. Vladimir Radmonivic went off in the fourth quarter and almost lifted them to victory, but Steve Nash was huge and so was Shawn Marion. Still going to be a hard fought series.

 

Also, the Heat take a 2-1 lead, even with Vince Carter going for 43 and absolutely EMBARASSING Alonzo Mourning AGAIN! Nasty dunk.

[Cocos Disciples]

I got the Clippers winning it all. It is time for some parody in the NBA, or the league is down the drain. The Pistons and Spurs every year is boring.

[Cocos Disciples]

cavs trying to stay in the series, down 2-0, but leading the game 74-70 less than 3 minutes left in the game vs pistons.

[See Red]

Cavs win!

 

I've been wanting one of those "Witness" t-shirts ever since I first saw the commercial -- I'm really thinking about getting one.

[podsednik20]

Lets go Spurs!!!!!.
