No problem with the Boston hatred, it is how most of us up here feel about Texas.:-)
[Reply]

Of course everyone hates Boston, Boston dominates the sports world:-)
[Reply]

Ditto :-)

Honestly, I grew up loving Boston and their "legacy". Unfortunately, it seems like The Big 3 who play for the Celtics forget that they all played for horrible, horrible teams for the past 10+ years and feel because they won a championship they can talk trash to everyone they play against. Seeing KG on the sideline (in a suit, not even playing) cursing and constantly talking smack to the other team is an embarrassment, to himself mainly.

All I can say is GO NUGGETS! First time in the western Conference finals since 1985! And I am LOVIN every minute of it! :-):-):-)

Now to beat the $hit out of the Lakers and get a crack at the Cavs.
[Reply]

Don't jump the gun, man the rockets are whooping the lakers right now!
[Reply]

Great finish by the Magic! Onto Game 7 in Boston.
[Reply]

Gonna be a good one I hope! :-)
[Reply]

Two game 7s coming up!!! Great performance by Houston tonight.
[Reply]

I definitely wouldn't count them out...but winning game 7 in LA will be damn tough and I just don't think they cab pull it off...I'm glad they pushed it to 7 so it wears the Lakers or the Rockets out while the Nuggs are resting...

Can't wait for both game 7s sunday...gonna be great.

See ya Boston!

That lakers/nuggets game is going to be great. Can't wait to see kobe vs melo!

Thankfully the Celtics are out, now we just need the Nuggets to beat the Lakers and we can have a decent finals without all the nostalgic bullshit from the commentators about "the great franchises in NBA history". :-)
[Reply]

:-):-)

I totally agree... plus the great thing about Cleveland and Denver in the NBA finals... neither franchise has ever won an NBA title... I think that would be awesome!

Time for some fresh banners to hang from some new rafters. I've seen enough Celtics/Lakers BS... :-)

Nuggets are somewhere around 17-1 in the postseason vs. the Lakers. I'll go with Lakers in 6 games.
[Reply]

Been out of town for a few days but loved watching the Magic take out Boston.

I think they match up great against Cleveland and have a legitimate shot at a championship.

Hasn't been this exciting in Orlando since Shaq left.
[Reply]

I wouldn't discount the Nuggets just yet. Yes they may have a bad record against the Lakers in recent years and in the playoffs... but none of that matters. Its all about the next 4-7 games and nothing else matters. Proof of that is the Magic/Celtics game 7 yesterday... the Celtics were 17-3 while playing game 7s at home... and they had never lost a playoff series when they were up 3-2 until yesterday... they were 32-0...

I'm sticking with my Nuggets in 6! :-) Cuz I haven't had this much fun as a Nuggets fan since I was 14... :-)
[Reply]

Yep, I'm going for the Nuggets in the West. I tend to root for the underdog, but I see this series going to 7. Both teams are great at home.. gonna be a good one! :-)
[Reply]

So are we all in agreement Cavs crush the Magic in 4 games? Lebron is simply unstoppable at this point. Magic won the season series but that doesn't matter much in the playoffs...

Lakers/Nuggets will be a slugfest and go to 7 games no doubt. I just don't think Nuggets can handle the depth of the Lakers. It will be too much and who is going to guard Kobe??
[Reply]

Well I definitely think the Cavs will win the series... but I think Orlando has the best chance of any team in the East to beat them. It all depends on the Magic and their perimeter shooting. Can they keep the Cavs D busy all night running around? Or are they gonna brick most of their shots and make it easy for the Cavs to overwhelm them on D?

For the Nuggets/Lakers... gonna be a tough series for the Nuggets no doubt. But I like the new Nuggets defensive mindset. I think it creates problems for teams by getting in their faces... The Lakers don't like people in their face, so that could be a big issue...as for guarding Kobe, I don't think the Nuggets will worry about him much... they didn't worry about Nowitzki much...and someone as good as Kobe or Nowitzki is gonna get their points no matter what you do. So play good 1-on-1 and let them have their points, but shut the rest of the team down.

Can't wait for game 1 tonight! Hope the Nuggets go into LA and take game 1 to send a message!:-):-)
[Reply]

Kobe is in a different leauge compared to Dirk. It will be interesting who guards him on he perimeter. Denver was good against dirk because hey have frontcourt depth. I just don't see who will guard him effectively. When Kobe can drive the lane they are just too good. Houston was effective at guarding Kobe because they could force him into bad shots. Denver will have a much harder time doing that. Also LA's bigs are much better then Dallas'. No doubt it will be a great series.
[Reply]

Not in agreement at all. In fact, I would love to wager a nice 5er if you are so sure about your statement of a sweep.:-)

Lebron might put up 50, but 50 won't win many games. I'm not too impressed with Cleveland's bench.


Perhaps we CAN be in agreement that payment should be in Cuban cigars????

Anxiously awaiting your response to see if you will back up that bold statement......
