Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

Well, this Game 7 ended up being pretty good and close throughout, despite the Cavs never leading in the game. :woot:

It's rare to see a great 1v1 duel between players that guard each other most of the way ... between Pierce's 41 and Lebron's 45.

BTW, what happened to Ray Allen ??!!! .... He's been totally irrelevant in the playoffs so far. Perhaps the "Big Three" should be subtracted to "Big Two" ... :doh:

More like "Big One"... Garnett didn't really do that much, either.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought so :sweat:.

Wow ... I share the enthusiasm. :dancing:

Apparently there are some folks besides myself and those in Texas rooting for the Spurs. :bonk:

Too bad they'll heavily be outweighed by all those bandwagon Lakers fans that inevitably pop up. :shakehead:

I think Lakers and Celtics will go to Championship match.....

Lakers will lose in Game 6 :beaten:

SAN ANTONIO over N'ORLEANS ..... in 6

DETROIT over ORLANDO ................... in 5
CLEVELAND over BOSTON/ATLANTA ... in 6

Above were my picks from the 2nd Round .... and mostly each came to form, except with the Celts/Cavs series. Team Lebron made things interesting, but too many stiffs and not enough playmakers costed Cleveland in the end.

Perhaps Lebron should pull a "Kobe" and threaten for a trade unless he gets some help soon. :bonk:

3rd Round of NBA playoffs are underway. Below, are my picks. :fingerscrossed:


WEST:

L.A. over SAN ANTONIO ...... in 7

EAST:

BOSTON over DETROIT ....... in 7




I'm sure the NBA and most fans hope to see Celtics/Lakers in the Finals. But, on the flip side, imagine if Spurs vs. Pistons ....
The NBA might consider getting that "rogue referee" back to fix some more games to prevent this ratings disaster. :banghead:

Lakers rally from a 20-point deficit and stun the Spurs, 89-85... :victory: :applaud:

let all join the laker band wagon.

Boston finally loses at home, 103-97, to Detroit. :woot:

I can only hope this wakes KG enough to think about going all Lebron and dominating a whole game. Mediocre isn't going to get them past Detroit.

Each of Boston's Big 3 did score over 20 points, but they had no support and their league-best defense let them down in game two.

Lakers rout the Spurs, 101-71.... Game 3 Sunday.

Detroit loses home court as fast as they got it, losing to Boston, 94-80. :bleh:

It's turning into a fight, at least. Maybe KG is slowly feeling the full effects of playing near June.
