Playoff Picture

[Carmelo Anthony]

Why are Spurs fans upset because I think the Grizzlies will win??

They are 2 deep in positions 1-4... their center's arent that good... but apart from Houston, Lakers and Kings [and the bulls ]... who does have a good center??

I stay by my prediction...... Memphis to knock out Spurs.

Ronny will keep him quiet

I'm ready for MILLER TIME!!!!

I agree with CA to an extent...I'm not expecting Memphis to win, but I would not at all be surprised with an upset. When the Grizzlies are hot, there hot!

 

[Watto]

Sac V dallas and lakers v rockets the best ones. Lakers should take that series comfortably, Houstons form of recent has been very poor. Sac V dallas series will be a entertaining shootout. May not have any D either of these teams, but hope Dallas come through there, have a soft spot for them, probably my favorite team after the lakers.

Go lakers
Go Mavs

 

[Dingster]

Indy and NJ take game 1 as expected and the Spurs are bending over Memphis. Memphis have been held to 52 pts after 3. Welcome to playoff basketball.

 

[Watto]

Welcome to the playoffs indeed. Memphis copped a 98-74 hiding. San Antonio may not be the most uh, exciting team, but with defence like that not many teams will beat them.

 

[Watto]

Seems L.A have come out breathing fire against Houston 8-0 after 4 minutes! Plenty of misses so far.

 

[Kenny_01]

The only first round matchup in the West that can go either way is the Dallas/Sacramento one. The semifinal matchups will be awesome.

 

[Borgsta]

With 5 min to go
Houston 64 - 39% fg
Lakers 63 - 34% fg

WTF??

Go houston

 

[GeeCat]

Final score Lakers 72 to Houstan 71. Shaq was a monster, 20 points 17 rebounds. Closer than I expected.

 

[jod23]

LA were somewhat lucky. Airball from Kobe lands in Shaqs lap for an easy dunk to take the lead then JJ misses an open three to win it.

 

[Dingster]

Big wins for Miami and Sacramento. Detroit wins as expected.

Cassall and KG killing Denver early.

 

[jerry springer]

houston vs lakers game 2

time for stevie "franchise" to earn his pay today,would this be his first play-off series?i will be rapt if they take just one game off the lakers in this series

 

[Watto]

The boring team brushed aside memphis 87-70, now 2-0 up, and la lead houston 17-14.

Miami is my pick to win the East. Confidence and Momentum are at an all-time high, and they are playing with little, if any, baggage from previous Playoff campaigns.

 

[jerry springer]

stevie franchise having a big game at the moment 5 points,7 boards and 8 assists at the half

rockets by 2

His not doing much on the scoring side of things, but his going nicely. 6 boards, 8 assists, 1 block at half time. I think he'll come good with the scoring in the second half.


Go Houston!

thats great though he is obviously buying into "team"ball.

yao has 14 and 2 at the half whilest the shaq only has 2 points and 4 boards

go houston

 

[Red_Devil]

The Lakers V Houston game is on ESPN now if any of you would like to know... Anyone here watching it?

 

[CURVE]

Lakers 98-84. Fairly comfortable after halftime. Bryant shot 16 from 17 from the Charity. They should be targeting Shaq not Kobe.

Spot on. If they want to win they foul shack as much as they can. But when Shack doesn't shoot much like today, there's not much they can do.

 

[mattyc2422]

Kobe is gonna get his points, it was proven last year by the Spurs that you need to make him work his ass off for them and he slacks off on the defensive end.

 

[jerry springer]

heres hoping today that the knicks can play some basketball with a pulse today and take it up to the nets.moving penny to the point and marbury to SG sounds like a good move.if anyone could post up on kidd and draw a double team it would be penny(well maybe 7 years ago anyway)

 

[Red_Devil]

NJ are doing it easy against NY once again.

New York 39
New Jersey 52
Half

If Boston want to win a game against Indiana, it's now or never. Artest out, and Boston are going alright.

Boston 42
Indiana 39
