Yeah, could be the second time that I won't be watching the NBA finals on tv :beaten: . I'll just check NBA.com for box scores, just like what I did last year, if those 2 teams (Spurs and Pistons) is gonna face-off again in this year's finals :mrgreen:

i still say Suns will take this series, and move on to play the Mav's....that should be a good series...
end of 1st, Phx up 32-28.
it might be close, but Phx at home...advantage Phx.
but it would be nice if the Clippers can upset them and advance...we'll just see how it goes, in either case...Clippers sailed on uncharter territory and have done well this season. :thumbsup: :woot:

The game is close right now, 57-51 in favor of Phoenix with 2:26 left in 2nd quarter, so we still can't tell what the outcome will be. But given the homecourt advantage, I think the Suns will win it :sweat:

65-57, I think Phx is starting to pull away a little...and it is Half-time.
I hope Clips can upset...but this dogfight is going to the Phx Suns, as they will probably match up in the western conf finals against Dallas. I just hope that whoeever meets in the finals, that they can beat the Pistons...cause i doubt Heat can win them..

If that's the case, then I'll go for the Mavericks. They have a good chance against the Pistons. The Suns, well, once Steve Nash is neutralized by the Pistons, the Suns is no longer a threat for them, unlike the Mavericks, which, aside from Nowitzki, has alot of options in Jason Terry, Josh Howard and Jerry Stachhouse.

honestly, i just don't think the Clips can handle Nash and company down the stretch in Phx tonight....i am surprise and happy the Clipper took it this far and gave it their all...i am proud of them...they are my favorite team....
But yeah...Phx's type of game won't last against Det's clamping defense, game... and they just don't have the man-power and inside game to handle the wallace brothers inside...Mav's...i hope they get to the finals, and beat the Pistons, they stand a chance...and have a good solid team this year. :applaud: :victory:

Yeah, the Clippers have proved that they can be a tough team, and they have risen up to everyone's expectation, like the Cavaliers did :applaud:
I really think the Mavericks deserve to be in the finals and win the championship, especially after beating a first seeded team like the Spurs.
qilver wrote:It's Dallas and Phx in the western conference finals...It was fun while it lasted for the Clips, I don't think Phoenix can handle Dallas, the Suns have just gone thru two 7 game series and they just don't have enough inside to match up with Dallas
anything can happen, but Dallas looks tough to beat....and after that, it is probably Pistons in the finals.
La Clips gave it their all, and lost in game #7, 107-127, they have something to feel proud of and fighting to make this a well fought series against Phx...
:applaud:

I think Miami can match up with Pistons, but Shaq's game, and staying out of foul trouble, and with his teammates stepping up, that will be the key to them winning. Wade will be Wade....not sure how much Billups or Rick Hamilton can contain Wade....but Det's defense will be too tough for Miami to handle down the stretch
Mav's and Phx, both similar teams...
but again, can Phx match up and stay away from being dominated inside, and run and gun their way to victory like they did with Lakers/Clippers series.
to me, Dallas has an even more complete team and this team can shoot just as well as Phx can...i guess we just have to wait and see how this series unfolds :sweat: :say_yes:

If Det. gets Shaq into foul trouble, their worries there is done with.
If they were able to stop Lebron in the 4th quarter in game 7, they'll be sure to find a way to keep Wade from being explosive. I think Lebron is stronger then wade when it comes to driving. Just my thought.
Billups and Hamilton along with Prince will be tough to stop on offense.
Should be another 7game match up.
