OPEN THREAD: Day 16 of the NBA 2k8 Playoffs

Last night gave us hope that this might be the end of the Snores er.. Spurs dynasty.  Sorry Reggie, but David West is NOT Antawn Jamison.  But Chris Paul is Isiah Thomas (as a player not GM) for the 21st century.  The Detroit Pistons have prevailed  once again; J.J. Reddick must have been excited because he actually got off the bench in the blow out. 

But what about today?  Read on for Fuzzylogic's predictions...

(G7) Hawks at Celtics (Series tied 3-3):  The Hawks have exceeded expectations and have the potential to dethrone the Warriors as the biggest upsetters of round 1 playoff history.  Too bad they won't given their inability to play defense on the road.  Celtics win but Garnett continues to look damaged when it counts.

(G1) Jazz at Lakers (Series 0-0): The Lakers have never looked this good.  Their offense runs smoothly like a well oiled hinge on a door.  The Jazz are tough, but Gasol has made the Lakers nearly indestructible. Kobe and Gasol the premier one-two punch for the next 5 years?  Bynum who?  Derek Fisher gets his revenge against his former team and their loserish fans. Lakers take game 1.

Am I trippin'

That We Believe Karma

http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/Bradley/entries/2008/05/04/hawks_success_leads_to_upgrade.html

The Hawks, by way of contrast, are in fine spirits. They could even laugh when their second team bus – there’s an early and a later one – backed into the door of the loading dock at TD Banknorth Garden and had to sit on the ramp for 15 minutes. "A typical Celtic trick," said Arthur Triche, the chief publicist, laughing.

Triche had a trick of his own. In the locker room are two T-shirts bearing the Golden State logo and the words, "We Believe." They were printed up last spring, as the eighth-seeded Warriors were in the process of toppling No. 1 seed Dallas.

"I made a call to my counterpart at Golden State," Triche said, "and I said, ‘Send me some of that karma.’ "

I think

we used up all of that karma last year. This year, We Believe couldn’t get us into the playoffs.

Well

all is right again in the world. We still have our place in history. Mavs/Dirk still the subject of ridicule.

Seeing Cuban's face as his team got bounced from the 1st round....

was nice this year, but nothing compares to it’s glory last year.

I need to ask

you guys a question: PLease, I want to know who are you rooting for? Fakers or Jazz?? I hate them so much… probably the 2 teams I hate the most, but I want to cheer for one of them. So, here´s the question: Warriors fan prefer Lakers or Jazz?

F**K REFS!!!

by faetati on May 4, 2008 1:12 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

I'm cheering for the Lakers

because Kobe is the closest player we have to MJ, because I’m not a big fan of Jerry Sloan’s physical style of play, and because I hate the extreme flopper Kirilenko.

by IQofaWarrior on May 4, 2008 1:18 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Lakers

I prefer watching them play rather than the Jazz. Too many damn fouls go down whenever the Jazz play.

by disguy on May 4, 2008 1:21 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Jazz

I absolutely can’t stand both teams either, but I don’t want Laker Nation to be happy at all.

haha

Anybody watch the Zohan commercial with Sandler and Baron Davis? I was just thinking about who would be doing those half face things if the Warriors made the playoffs and then saw the commercial.

“Are you a point guard or a point god?”

by disguy on May 4, 2008 1:26 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

I think

he called him a point goat.

by IQofaWarrior on May 4, 2008 1:31 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Thanks for the answer everyone!

Keep them coming! Game 1 is almost over and I still dont know what to do! I´d like that a huge hole opened at center court of the Staples “Death Star” Center and both team fell inside it, but… I wanted 1 of them to win and dont know who… LOL

F**K REFS!!!

by faetati on May 4, 2008 2:45 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

Then pick the Lakers

if only for the entertainment value

by IQofaWarrior on May 4, 2008 3:09 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

I swear

I tried, but its impossible to pick the Lakers… I cant see myself cheering for a Kobe basket! Jeez!! Why dont they simply eliminate the Jazz and put the Warriors in their place against the Lakers? Now that would be sweet!

F**K REFS!!!

Hawks

Well I was rooting for the Hawks but it was not to be.
So i’ll go with the Lakers to protect the great golden state of Cali.

Hawks

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hawks, disgrace, spanked, owned, pwned.

by gWARRlORSs on May 4, 2008 9:37 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hawks?

That young crew made the playoffs which is more than you did, so I’d not be laughing too hard. Hopefully the Hawks learn from the Warrior’s error and don’t trade away valuable parts and come back more experienced and stronger next year and maybe go further? .
