2009 NBA Playoffs

[HD MM]

So, I saw Wade's "flagrant" foul tonight. I saw Howard is suspended for the elbow shot. My conclusion? Rondo should have received a flagrant 2. But no, nothing will get called against the Lakers, Cavs, or Celtics.

Oh jeeze. Here we go with the conspiracy theorists.

Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets- Carmelo Anthony will finally go past the first round.

They KO the Hornets with a 107-86 rout.

(Then again, compared to the 58-point beatdown on Monday, this was a thriller by comparison.)

They are my pick in the West to possibly beat the Lakers and, possibly, make the NBA Finals.

How about that JR Smith- he is INSANELY good at three-pointers. He has a hot hand- we're talking Vida Guerra hot!

This seals the fate of the Iverson trade- who would have thunk that Denver would win a playoff series and Detroit wouldn't win one playoff game at the start of the year?

Told you to take Denver with the points.

 

[HD MM]

Wow, with Iverson gone...and Billups in? Wow, no one would ever thought of that.

Detroit must be crying because they lost their superstar Billups.
The guy is a 3 point machine this year, he is not missing anything.
I'd love to see Nuggets vs Lakers, this series will be off the hook, and of course, the Nuggets will take it, the Lakers can't seem to hang on to a 20 point lead...their Defense will come bite them in the butt deep in the playoffs.

My picks this year for the Finals: Cavs vs Nuggets!
This should be explosive, but I have a good feeling King James will dunk on top of everyone.
James > Carmelo

I still hope for the Celtics, I really want to see them win a championship without KG.
If KG was out there playing with the rest, we would have swept the bulls.
God this is annoying.

I'm perfectly fine with that scenario. The only team in this league that scares me is the Lakers and their Bigs. As long as the Cavs keep advancing, I'll be rooting for the Nuggets to come out of the West.

Ho-hum, just another great game between the Celtics and Bulls.

Bulls 59, Celtics 57..............halftime.

Ray Allen with 29 first half points.............one point shy of a Celtics first half record!

 

[SabresRule]

Orlando surprisingly is looking very good against Philly without Dwight Howard- right now, they have a double-digit lead!

 

[BillD1984]

IF both Orlando and Boston win tonight, Game 1 of their series will be Saturday night at the Garden.

Game 1- Sun 5/3- @ Denver- 3:30 ET (ABC)

This'll be interesting- a rare ABC telecast without the NBA's Big Three teams.

If Atlanta defeats Miami tomorrow night, Game 1 of the Hawks-Cavs series will be Sunday at 1:00 ET on ABC.

If the Heat wins tomorrow night, Game 7 of Heat-Hawks will be in that time slot.

What a run by the Celtics! They are on fire!

 

[BillD1984]

I'M exhausted!!!

 

[BillD1984]

OVERTIME (this is a recording.......................)

 

[anders5189]

Just another stinkin OT game. Man I hope this turns into the great rivalry that the NBA is lacking right now.

 

[Ramy]

Wow!!! Another overtime game.

 

[SabresRule]

So much for "no Dwight Howard, no chance in game 6."

Orlando with a 25-point BEATDOWN to clinch this series.

I have to applaud Orlando- I don't think anyone thought they could win without their best player.

Not the first time that's happened to the Sixers. I'm still waiting on Game 7 from the 1980 Finals.

 

[BillD1984]

This is NUTZ!!!!

OT part Deux

K-Perk fouling out is huge!
