Day 19 of the NBA 2K9 Playoffs

Two for Two for R-Dizzle! Although Cleveland was a gimme, Denver/Dallas really could have gone either way. But one thing is for sure - no one, including myself, is doubting the Nuggets now! The Mavs have their work cut out for them...

Kmart: "Yo Dirk! At least you're still raking it in from those Geico commercials!"

Meanwhile, on the other coast, LeBron James is doing exactly what he is expected to do. Destroying the Hawks. Last night Mr. MVP dropped 34 points, grabbed 10 boards, earned 3 dimes, and 4 steals and effectively showed the Hawks that, right now, they are merely boys in a man's game. I'll give you one guess on who that man is...

"You four stand over there. I'm going to take this thing to the hole."

But what of tonight as the Upset series' head to their second games? Will the dream last for both Houston and the Magic?

JUMP!

Orlando @ Boston

Orlando Leads - 1-0

Time: 5:00 PDT

TV: TNT

Man. Nothing comes easy for Boston, does it?! Granted, after that wild series with Chicago, an opening win by Orlando (including at one point a 28 point lead) ccouldn't have come as an absolute shocker. But for the sake of excitement, I'm calling for Boston to even it up tonight.

Houston @ Los Angeles

Houston Leads - 1-0

Time: 7:30 PDT

TV: TNT

...now this one was a bit of a surprise, I must admit. I did not expect Houston to come out of the gates so strong, but behind Yao's impressive 28-10, the Rockets managed to steal one away at Staples? Can they actually do it again tonight to take a 2-0 lead in this series? Kobe says no. I do too. Lakers by 5 tonight.

Rockets @ Lakers: Lakers

by IQofaWarrior on May 6, 2009 1:49 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

did you pick the lakers on Monday???

Both games should be good and to close to call but…

Magic
Rockets

(I like upsets, but I would not put money against the lakers)

There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.

Hah, yes I picked the Lakers on Monday

I thought the Lakers would play better in Game 1. I expect the Lakers to come out with more intensity and purpose tonight. If they don’t, they will be the biggest joke of a team this season.

I will be picking the Rockets on Game 3, and I’m rooting for the Rockets all the way, but for tonight, I expect the Lakers to even the series.

… I’m rooting for the Rockets all the way, but for tonight, I expect the Lakers to even the series.

I 100 percent agree with you.

Who's watching the Magic Celtics game?

Is Orlando losing because they suck on offense? Or because the Celtics rock on defense?

by IQofaWarrior on May 6, 2009 5:48 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

...

Rockets over Lakers in 6
Nuggets over Mavs in 5
Celtics over Magic in 7
Cavs over Hawks in 4
--
Rockets over Nuggets in 7
Cavs over Celtics in 5
--
Cavs over Rockets in 5, LeBron crowned King of the World.

I got home late

and saw a little bit of that replay. What happened? House broke Rafer’s ankles and dropped a 3 in his face?

This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM

In House's words...

That’s what happens when you start busting somebody’s ass… they resort to bush league tactics

Pretty insane that he wasn’t ejected on the spot. You gotta figure he’ll get suspended when they look at the tape.

damn

That’s crazy. Silly guy that Rafer.

Definitely should have been tossed after that. No respect and acting hella childish.

i hope not

it was a definite bitch move, but i wouldn’t say it’s worse than what rondo did to miller

the nba always seems to find itself in this spot in the postseason tho: what constitutes a flagrent foul, what deserves a suspension, etc.

by AJC3317 on May 6, 2009 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

theyre gonna have to

if not, everybody is gonna be slaping eachother after getting bust in the ass.

if they’re gonna rip off our chant, at least do it at a moment that makes a little bit of sense

YES! Boston fans have been doing it to, but at obvious fouls

Like the player would even have their hand up

what a joke

fisher levels some dude and the analysts label him as a “tough guy”. pretty much any other team they would be all over him for giving a cheap shot, which it was
