OPEN THREAD: Day 9 of the NBA 2k8 Playoffs

by dj fuzzylogic on Apr 27, 2008 8:11 AM PDT in Previews

How did the Hawks pull off a win? Are the Raptors and Sam Mitchell just about done? With THAT much talent and (perceived) swag (on paper), how is George Karl (or his players) not making this even competitive? Is Tracy McGrady forever playoff jinxed for ditching Vince Carter in what might have been for him in Orlando if Grant Hill hadn't gone down with those catastrophic ankle injuries? Despite all the fire and star power on the bestcoast, I mean westcoast, it seems like we're seeing the same teams dominating night in, night out. Will this be re-runs of last season? We'll see...

(G4)Cavaliers @ Wizards (Cavs lead series 2-1): Lebron is just insane. As much as I find his game kind of ugly (but not awkward like his opponent Antawn Jamison), Lebron has shown us he'll be able to dominate whenever he wants to, however he wants to. The supposed DeShawn Stevenson-Lebron James "rivalry" no doubt will add fuel to Lebron's 5-alarm blaze throughout this opening series

(G4)Spurs @ Suns (Spurs lead series 3-0): The Suns are done, but not today. Like the Hawks, the Suns will keep it competitive adding another game, which makes the television corporations and David Stern very happy.

(G4)Pistons @ 76ers (76ers lead series 2-1): I imagine the Pistons will bounce back from the last game and finish off the 76ers in 6. Reggie Evans' game transforms back to what it has been for his whole career ala Cinderella's carriage that transforms back into a pumpkin at midnight.

(G4)Hornets @ Mavs (Hornets lead series 2-1): As soft as the Mavs are, they have what the Hornets lack. Weed. Just kidding. I'm talking about "experience." Chris Paul just looked defeated throughout game 3 as they took away his bread and butter move, the alleyoop to the cutting Tyson Chandler. Mavs take this one.

LOL

Spurs might not even score 30 at the half. The dubz will score that in half a quarter but will mostly likely give up the same amount to the opponent.

brb, going to ORACLE

I'm loving

Philly over Detroit. Arrogant experienced bunch vs. a young start-up with a puncher’s chance . . . sounds familiar. Philly believes!

We're talkin' about practice!

Woohoo

Mavs are down 10 going into the 4th. I’d be very happy for them to fall out of the playoffs in the first round again.

ouch

kidd got ejected with flagrant 2. He could’ve seriously hurt Pargo with that even if it wasn’t intentional.

dallas

needs to get blown up. 3 dissappointing playoff exits in a row. everyone except howard should be on the block, and yes that includes nowitzki

lol

why howards? if anything he is the most disappointing of all the mavs. JHO is supposed to be a allstar. He plays like a role player

my bad

i posted that before i saw his statlines lol. if he plays like that then he needs to be shown the door quickly

I'm glad

the Warriors aren’t in the playoffs. I don’t think we would have gotten past the first round with the way we played towards the end of the season. Now we don’t have to go through the tough criticisms Phoenix and the Mavs will have to endure.

yea

Lakers would have murdered us but I see us winning at least 1 game unlike a certain other team cough cough*

Chris Webber brings up a good point

He said he wouldn’t want to play for the Mavs and go into the trenches because he thinks the other players won’t come over to support him when he’s down. I remember the same thing happened last year in Game 6 when Croshere and Baron got double T’s and all of the Warriors swarmed around Baron to help out, but only a couple of Mavs came to help Cro.
