NBA Playoffs Thread 2008

Yeah Blinkboy, It was Pierce.

Well not to surprised it was Pierce cause he was one of the few players of Boston that played outstanding almost the whole playoffs. He had maybe one gme in each series where he was downed but other players then rose to the occation. Also the guy was injuried (not to bad i guess) and yet came back and helped the Celtics take game 2.

Pierce is a trooper. He's missed I think 21 games his whole career. Once, he broke his teeth in a game, came back 20 minutes later with a mouthguard, had emergency dental surgery the next day, and played again the day after.

Anyway, now that the season is over, time for Draft workouts and the Draft, which is coming next week, I think. Who do you guys think Bulls should draft? What I think they should do is draft Derrick Rose and then look for a GOOD, I mean GOOD, Center. Then they need to get rid of some of the guards they currently have.

Plus, I think John Paxson should just step down as General Manager.

Brooke Lopez. Best fit for Chicago.

[blinkboy211]

It doesnt matter to me who the Bulls draft. I seriously thought the Bulls would have done pretty good this year and actually made the playoffs after last season nice preformance. They fell so quickly that is sort of sad how bad they did. Whoever they draft wont be able to turn the team into what it once was but with a weak east who knows they could be back in the playoffs.

[Lycanthrope]

I think the East will get strongerwithin a few years, with new talent coming in from drafts. I mean, they certainly won't catch up to the West anytime soon, since 50 win teams almost didn't make the playoffs.

[T-M]

The team that really should be shown disappointment is Miami. I win, 15 wins? 67 losses? After winning a Championship two seasons ago? And after finishing in 4th place last season? The Heat are the biggest disappointing team I've ever seen. I don't think anyone or anything will turn their luck around.

But yeah, I have to agree with FF, the East will get stronger eventually, but won't dominate like the West did the last 7 years (if you don't count the 2004 Pistons and the 2006 Heat)

[Lycanthrope]

Miami's chemistry will be better once Wade and Marion can work well together.I think they'll get double the wins next season. I think the Knicks have been the biggest disappointment. They haven't done anything in years.

[blinkboy211]

THe Knicks arent relaly the biggest disappointment mainly because they havent done anything in years. Year after year they been horrible.

Now Heat was pretty good the last 2 years and just went from first to last in a 2 year span. Now the only problem is that Wade has missed alot of games and they need a good big guy to help him open space. You get players around Wade so he doesnt have to do everything then you will see the Heat back in the top ranks of the east.

Well i didnt watch the game cause had to work but damn. they lost 131-92. If bad at math that means Lakers lost by 39 points. I could not beliee how big the lead was. Guy at work told me when the Celtics won the series the last game would be a blow out but wow i dont think either of us expected that.
But just got to say BOOOYA! Sorry to all those hoping for the Lakers but with the way the Celtics played the series (even though times they seem to be giving up) they held together to win.

By the way who won playoff MVP? Was it Pierce i would guess?

Hmm I was kinda thinking you'd go off and be like "Didn't I say the Celtics would win" but I guess you didn't. Oh well.

Rockets should get Roy Hibbert or Robin Lopez.

[Axel Owns]

i'm just glad the celtics beat the lakers.

GO CELTICS!

Well i did say the Celtics would win but they werent my orginal pick so yeah. I almost had it right but when the Lakers beat the Spurs my bracket of picks drowned.

Yeah, but New York makes SOOO many player and personnel changes its not even funny.

[marlousmiracle]

Oh didn't know that blinkboy....

In any case you can blame Isiah for all the Knicks misery.
