NBA playoffs discussion

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How much are you Laker's fans liking Kobe right now? The dude didn't even try in the second half. If you watch most of the plays you will see him standing near half court not participating in them. Basically it was 4 lakers vs 5 suns in the second half until Kobe took a seat on the bench.

On a second note... I am definitely a witness to Lebron and like the refs I will ignore a goal tending call for Arenas and close my eyes when Lebron travels to score a hoop. All in an effort to allow basketball fans everywhere to continue being a witness.

That's what I used to think, but isn't it short for "homeboy"? This is important stuff...
 
so i was out this weekend, blowing it out as usual, and who do i come across, but the usual suspects. Chris Duhon and Kirk Hinrich. let me preface this by saying that they're a couple of B-listers. and by B-listers, i mean, they barely even make the list. let's be honest, they're weak. almost anemic. i would even go as far as throwing out the diagnosis of Marasmus or Kwashiakor, if you will (and i'm sure you will). and of course i reserve that Dx for only the most unfortunate individuals of said species. someone bust out the TPN. sick.

it was just after they lost the series to the Heat and they could care less. it was as if they were happy that the season had ended so they could do nothing for the next few months. i can't believe this....they're shameful. i'd sell my loyalty to the Bulls on ebay, but apparently it's already been done. i might just have to sell my dignity as a chicago sports fan to any willing taker on the market. please inquire within.......fuk.
 
actually, it might not have been a goal tending. I can't remember which show I was watching and they had gone to the rule book to see if it was goal tending or not.

ANd the rule stated that you can put your hand through the hoop as long as it does not alter the outcome of the shot.

essentially you can put your hand anywhere (including up Hinrich or Duhon's a$$) and it's legal.... as long as it doesn't alter the outcome of the game.

lets face it, i just rolled home at 7:40A and i concur with KB, i saw said douchebags on said night. what a fuggin disaster. if duhon (better known as fuknuts) put in half the effort in guarding D wade as he put in guarding his ketel/tonic we'd see the bulls vying for another threepeat. instead we saw proactive spokesperson to be hinrich and fuknuts boozing the nite away in the chi. what a disgrace. i guess they can't all be boris diaw. 😴

oh SIIIIIIIIIICK. i guess the good ol' days of in your face defense ended with terry porter, brian duckworth and the rest of the Trailblazers circa 1992.

lest we forget to pay homage to the infamous D of Craig Ehlo as he "attempted" to guard the unstoppable legend that is....MJ.
 
lets not forget charles oakley and anthony mason (its cool to have random **** stenciled in your calvarium). they used to D up when hodges and company rolled into the garden.

hate on hater! arenas blew the WIDE OPEN three to win game 3 and the free throws to win game 6. he's good, but the refs don't lose games. bring on the pistons (we are primed for a beatdown).

i agree that this is important. you may be right, but i've always thought of "homie" as being the extension of homeboy and "holmes" being a respectful refence to either john or sherlock (context dependent, of course!)

John or Sherlock? That's a very interesting interpretation and might be true, but I don't know. I am pretty sure, however, that "homie" is short for "hominid", the phylogenetic family that Homo Sapiens belong to as well as many extinct species. I'll find out for sure next time I'm in south central.

Oh my goodness!!! The cav's just got demolished. I am hoping for a more exciting game two or I will be a witness to whatever else is on prime time that evening. I doubt the pistons will be able to shoot like that again in the rest of the series. At the start of the 4 th quarter if I remember correctly they were shooting 65% from the floor and some ridiculous 12/14 from 3pt land.

and yet ABC put the 2 best teams at noon, when it knows that half the nation be either be asleep or at church. Now we all know that it doesn't take much brains at all to be an executive at ABC, just the right connections. How stupid can they actually be putting lebron on primetime, which is the ONLY reason they wanted to show the spurs/mavs game at noon instead of showing two real championship contenders on primetime. Before any NON true fan speaks out against this, David Stern actually admitted he was wrong...a rarity...by letting ABC pull that idiotic move. ABC really needs to wake up and realize that the individual is NOT more important that the concept of team. NBC was much better than ABC will ever be as far as the basketball arena goes...also, at least NBC didn't have that annoying ***** Bill Walton speaking out of his a** like ABC does..... Plus, I would rather watch Ginobili play than Lebron. Lebron is an awesome player, but Ginobili is much more exciting to watch.

The bulls were a tease this year.

As a side note, did anyone else notice that the Bulls game had a 5 sec delay b/w TNT and SportsCenter???

I won't talk trash, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But to say that Manu Gifloploi is more exiting than LeBron? Maybe if we're talking about the best flopper ever. We should start a separate forum. I nominate Giniobili or Derrick Fisher. Reggie Miller would be on there too. Some guys are good at acting, though. Manu is OBVIOUS.

Agreed,
Manu's been about as sturdy and virile as a glass of orange juice this year. In fact, if I didn't know better, I would have thought he was French, with his fall-down-and-get-injured-while-cowering-in-the-face-of-an-aggressor-mentality. My friend had him on his team in our fantasy league, and was thoroughly disappointed. I'd rather watch Lebron over Manusquats, but SA plays a good team game, so I like watching them play. Either way, though, I'm a Pistons fan, and I've decided that they are not, in fact, a basketball team. The are the iso-9001 consultants of basketball. They come to your office, teach you a better way to operate, and increase efficiency, then leave you to ponder the teachings until the next meeting.

So what if he flops, what player doesn't flop when they are pushed? It's part of the game and just because Ginobili does it better than any other player doesn't mean he should get crap for it. My point was that I would rather watch somebody who can play wicked defense, come up with crazy steals, make crazy moves to the basket than somebody who just scores. Oh, and forgive Manu if he has been hurt this year, but you guys thinking that all Manu is good for is flopping is like me saying that Lebron is only good for scoring and that's it! Doesn't make a lot of sense does it....it's just a fraction of Manu's game. Just my 2 cents

It's much easier to excuse flop artists when they're on the team you root for. It might be a part of the game, but I think it's embarrassing to see. Manu is so obvious it makes me respect him less, even though he is a great player.

It most definitely is and thanks for acknowledging that my countryman is a great player! 😉
 
How 'bout that Dallas team?

:laugh:

I called a pistons mavs matchup in the finals weeks ago... Maybe I should be an analyst.

I am on board with the Dallas pick, but may be Dirk on Shaq finals.

However it ends up, this has been an awesome playoffs.
 
The Pistons aren't playing like the team of old, the defense isn't there. They couldn't stop L. James from getting to the board. Too bad he missed most of the layups. I can't see Detroit getting past Miami with the say Detroit is playing. They will have to step up. The Mavs vs Phoenix should be a better series. Hopefully the Mavs can pull it out. Since Stoudamire is out, it is possible.
How about you Chicago fans ending up #2 in the draft??

As big a Pistons fan as I am, I gotta agree. The swagger and poise we saw in the regular season is gone, and it doesn't seem like they are forgetting to "turn it on..." because they seem like they're really working hard. Rip's missing 10 ft jumpers, Chauncey is committing TO's, and missing easy shots (for him), and Rasheed has been unpredictable. Ben is still Ben, and Tay has steped it up for the playoffs with suffocating defense, and good O. I have to admit that Lindsey's been quite the surprising player lately too. McDyess has been good, but delk, davis, and evans have'nt seen much time, and don't really do anything with their time in anyways.
Last night was annoying to watch b/c of the poor FG%... like 30 something.
Even so, I still think they'll make it past the Heat.

interesting...as someone actually responds to one of my posts. not a first, but definitely not the norm.

now calling me a chicago fan is risky business. clearly, the bulls are awful. hinrich's social skills leave much to be desired. and his wardrobe needs a drastic improvement to say the least. but i'm all about the #2 pick in the draft. that is unless the Bulls decide to pick another overrated kid from high school, only to "develop" him for 4-5 years and then ship him out. the bulls suk. enuf said.

as far as the Mavs go, i'm saddened. but what's the deal with Boris Diaw? besides me, i'm not sure many others would have guessed that good ol' Boris had it in him...well, except for OUsooner. looking at the last page, i am reminded of the discussion we had on the devastating talents of Mr. B. Diaw. amazing foreshadowing...

Fresh from the Too Little, Too Late Dept. comes word that the NBA rescinded the technical foul against San Antonio's Michael Finley in the second quarter of Game 4 in Dallas. Finley was called for a technical with 4:44 remaining in the half, and it appeared to be borderline at best. ``You can imagine what I wanted to say when I heard that," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who found out about the decision Thursday. ``Does that mean we win the game by 1 point?" Game 4, which was played May 15, went into overtime, and the Mavericks prevailed, 123-118, so the technical was huge. (Dirk Nowitzki made the free throw.) For Finley, it means he won't have to fork over $1,000 to the league. For the Spurs, it means yet another tough break in a series they just as easily could have won.

In that case, it is a good thing that it was a best of 7 series.
 
Dallas will win the NBA Finals against Miami Guaransheed.... 😀

Up yours 👎

But, since we're on the subject, the Pistons are looking weak and unsteady. I'm starting to wonder what happened to my high-scoring, defense minded basketball team that I enjoyed watching so much during the regular season. Oh well, maybe they can pull out a 3 game run over the next week. 🙄

oh yeah? a sick prediction. apparently you assume Boris Diaw will be shut down by the dallas squad. not a drastic assumption i must say, however, will D-Wade and the crew be stopped by the Mavs? hmmm, tough call.

that call could have made a difference, 4-3 sa.

games 3 and 4 were horribly officiated.

with my nba season over haven't watched or really cared about the other teams. I occassionally look in to see if Phoenix is beating Dallas, but I dont watch or care for it much.
