OPEN THREAD: Day 17 of the 2k8 NBA Playoffs

by R Dizzle on May 5, 2008 11:34 AM PDT in NBA

I'm all for We Believe - East Coast Edition...but come on Atlanta, you have to finish what you started!!!

10 points in the 2nd quarter? Sigh...

Hey, but at least Paul Pierce looks happy...or something....

via www.nba.com

Mad props to Atlanta for putting up a fight and for putting up a We Believe shirt in their locker room!

On to the 2nd round!

G2: (3) Orlando Magic @ (2) Detroit Pistons (Pistons Lead 1-0)

This was going be a pretty boring series overall with a bunch of mundane questions of whether the Pistons would be consistent and whether Dwight and Co. would step up to the challenge against this experienced Pistons team. After the Magic got destroyed last game, I'm pretty much done watching this one. Even that psuedo-fight between Lewis and Ratliff won't get me in this one....Goooo Pistons!

G2: (3) San Antonio Spurs @ (2) New Orleans Hornets (Hornets Lead 1-0)

Have the Spurs met their match? The Hornets did an amazing job containing Duncan with their double team. I was a big proponent of having BD on the cover of 2k8 this year, but after CP3's performance...that man deserves it. Does this mean that there's a NBA 2K blessing in the making? NO to the Finals!

It was obvious...

...that Atlanta wasn’t going to win a game in Boston. The only question was the extent to which they’d come up lame.

WHAT?????

why would anyone (warrior fans) want the hawks to win this series? that would put them in the same class as the warriors! an atlanta loss only helps put our warriors in the spotlight for one of the greatest upsets in nba history! why would we want the hawks to outshine our warriors? what are you people smokin?

Because records and accomplishments are made to be broken?

It’s like saying, “Why the heck are we rooting for Tiger Woods to win 18 majors? That would put him in the same class as Jack Nicklaus!!! Why do we want Tiger to outshine Nicklaus? Teh sky are fallings!”

It never occurred to me that one man could play with the faith of 50 million.

I had a dream about Atma

I went to Oracle Arena in my car (after discovering that my friend was trying to sell it) and saw Atma and KG in the lobby. Atma said something to the extent of, “Most people would beg to speak to KG, hahahaha!” and KG laughed. I then said, “Yeah, hahahaha!” and imiatated a person begging to see KG. Atma and KG just gave me cold stares, and I woke up.
