NBA Playoffs Thread 2008

Kinda contradicting, are we not? You shouldn't say Detroit will win if you're saying the 76ers won't win until they actually win.

Aparently you cant read. I said i wouldnt say 76ers will win the series until it actually happens. Until that happens i stick with the Pistons. I dont have enough faith in the 76ers to completely go against my pick of the Pistons.

[Destiny's End]

I'm hoping for a miracle in Phoenix. I LOATHE the Spurs, except Finley and Ginobili.

I feel the same way dude. I don't think the Suns can win 3 straight vs. The Spurs. I'm hoping for a miracle as well.

[Lycanthrope]

I don't think Phoenix could pull it off either. That Shaq trade was a terrible move.

[Krimsun Monkeh]

Phoenix might win 2 games, but the Spurs will beat them.
Anybody else surprised that Boston was defeated again last night? They were up like... 8 in the fourth right? Or something like that. :/ They'd better win their next game at home, or... The Hawks might get an upset. T_T

[blinkboy211]

I laughed cause Boston lost 2 in a row. I still think they will win the series but there is something wrong with them. Also Detriot if they win tonight will be 1 win away from proving that it wont lose to the 76ers.

As I knew they would, Lakers swept the Nuggets. Kobe put up 31 points in the game. I hope he wins MVP, he does deserve it. But, I think Detroit will lose to the 76ers today. I'm sorry, but that's just what I believe.

[Samber]

Orlando Magic is gonna friggin win guys! We've already made history, AND Turkoglu was named most improved player of the year!


Total ownage.


Magic<33

[Krimsun Monkeh]

Yeah, Lakers may have won but Kobe doesn't deserve the MVP. That goes to Chris Paul.
Also, Detroit will win today I guarantee it. They're ahead by 15 right now. ;P

:/ Orlando is good, but, they're not going to beat Detroit if they advance.

In his entire career, he has averaged more than 25 points a game. If you don't deserve MVP for that, then I don't know what you deserve MVP for. Chris Paul has only been averaging 18.2 his whole is whole career. Kobe moved up anyway to the number one spot in rankings for MVP.

[Krimsun Monkeh]

MVP doesn't go to who has the best "Career Stats". If so, Kobe would of gotten it before.
It's for this season. Chris Paul has had a great season, averaging a double-double in the regular leading the Hornets to the top of the Western Conference. Chris has no great players on his team. Kobe has Gasol and Odom. Paul took a team that hadn't made the playoffs in over 4 years to the top of the West. If that doesn't get him MVP then I don't know what does.

Yes, this season, Kobe has done much better than CP3. The only thing that CP3 is doing better than Kobe this year is averaging more assists. And they aren't at the top of the Western Conference, the Lakers are. If you mean they are in one of the top spots in the West, then yes they are.

[Krimsun Monkeh]

CP3 makes his team better, all Kobe does is score. Kobe actually gets help from players such as Gasol, Odom, and the Lakers Bench. Name someone on the New Orleans that is a consistent help to the team. West doesn't count because he suck if it weren't for Paul.

*cough Chris just got Triple-Double in win against Mavs cough*
Also... Detroit just beat 76ers ;P

[Lycanthrope]

Detroit unfortunately won. I'm praying for the 76ers to pull out a few more games. Iguodala finally started to play the way he should at least.

Sam, the Magic won't win it all. I wanted them to win that. But they will likely have Boston next. I wish you and your Orlando town good luck.

Tyson Chandler? Bonzi Wells? Peja Stojakovic? Mike James?

I DO have to admit it, CP3 is good. A triple-double? Last person I've seen do that is, correct me if I'm wrong, LeBron James? I just knew the Hornets would beat the Mavs, though. They have fallen off so far after losing to the Horrible Heat in the 06 Finals.

[Krimsun Monkeh]

Tyson Chandler? Bonzi Wells? Peja Stojakovic? Mike James?

Those aren't big names. I'm talking people like Gasol and Odom that can put up numbers consistently.

I will admit that the people you named are good, but they aren't on the level of Gasol and Odom.

Let's just say, we put Kobe and Paul on 2 cruddy teams. CP3 would get his team farther in my opinion because he is unselfish and he makes good ball decisions that help them win games. Don't get me wrong, Kobe is the best closer in the game, but, he always does all the scoring if his team is down in the fourth(example - Denver). I just think Paul deserves it more than Kobe.

:/ I'm just going to wait 'til they announce it.

:/ Pistons better end it in Philly in the next game. I wanna get to the 2nd round.
