OPEN THREAD: Day 11 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs

THE PLAYOFFS WAIT FOR NO MAN!!

While I’m stuck here at work, the quest for Hoops Eliteness continues with 4 games tonight. And in 3 out of 4 cases, we may very well see the end of some first round action!

Geico_medium 

Almost back to Geico commercials for a few months!


So far, the biggest shocker for me is the fact that Philly is actually hanging with the Detroit. While I love a good underdog story (as any Warriors fan should), it’s tough to imagine that this anomaly isn’t going to right itself with tonight’s action.

I’ve got my picks in… Do you?!

Star-divide

 

 G5: (7) Dallas Mavericks @ (2) New Orleans Hornets (New Orleans lead 3-1)

Shut em down New Orleans. Give the Mavs a nice long offseason... Again.

 

 G5: (6) Phoenix Suns @ (3) San Antonio Spurs (Spurs lead 3-1) 

Not tonight. Phoenix will come with a 2nd half push that forces the Snores to play a Game 6.

 

 G5: (4) Utah Jazz @ (5) Houston Rockets (Jazz lead 3-1) 

Ugh. I hate to say it but I’m thinkin’ this one ends tonight.

 

 G5: (7) Philadelphia 76ers @ (2) Detroit Pistons (Series tied 2-2) 

Wow seriously?! Props to Philly but Detroit is coming with a reality check tonight.

So far so good, according to the scoreboard, they’re down by 15 at the half.

The Snores, lol.

Mavericks

They are getting their asses kicked. I thought they would have put up a better fight than this.

Hornets defense

is really turned up against the Mavs here at the end of the 3rd.

I think the Mavs

have that deer in the headlights look. They look like they have no sync, no rhythm, and the game is getting away from them.

Wow, smart move, stackhouse

you’re down 8 with 1:47 to go, and you draw a T

Great tap out

by Tyson Chandler to get the offensive rebound and force the Mavs to foul. 5 pt game in 5.7 seconds, no way.

Yeah

that sounds more familiar

Rockets

If they are to pull it off tonight, I don’t think they should blow them out. Save some much needed energy for game 6. Energy Solutions lmao.

It all depends now on

how the Suns come out in the third quarter, whether they come out together, or deflated.

How about the Big Cactus?

Hack-a-Shaq is coming back to bite the Spurs. He’s making clutch free throws.

by Golden Boy on Apr 29, 2008 9:17 PM PDT   0 recs

lol

gg suns.. i wanted you to win. BTW is Grant Hill also a first round virgin?

by saintdee on Apr 29, 2008 9:27 PM PDT   0 recs

In the same way

Stockton and Malone kept running into Michael Jordan, the Suns kept running into the Spurs. Now it’s up to the Lakers or Celtics to beat the Spurs.

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 29, 2008 9:37 PM PDT   0 recs

It's not as bad though

They met Jordan in the finals at least. Well, maybe not at least…to come that far and never win must hurt more lol.

I’m pretty sure the Lakers can take out the Spurs

Rockets

I’m cheering for them to win the west now.

has been eliminated again!! Suck on that Mark!!
