[TroutBum]

Honestly, if it ends up being Kobe vs. DuhBron in the Finals, I might just pooh.

 

[fallenchicken]

First round predictions :

Bulls will sweep Pacers.

I think Memphis will win 1 game against the Spurs, probably game 3.

Sandville(Miami) will win a 5 game series against the 76ers, to my utter dismay.

Lakers will sweep The Hornets. Chris Paul will then leave the NBA to become a Biology teacher.

Boston vs New York: I am torn between New York winning a game, or getting swept. I'll give them 1 game to win. Because Boston made the mistake of dealing with known blood-mage Sam Presti, Celtics are a much weaker team.

Dallas at Portland: I think this will go 6 games, Dallas. Which will be disappointing, because I really hate Dirk, and really love Wes Mathews. I do think this matchup could be a surprise win for Portland, is Roy could do damage off the bench like been doin. The Mavs have proved, if anything, they are a terrible post-season team.

Orlando vs Atlanta: What an ugly series this will be. The series will go 6 games and Magic will win, but the games are going to be long and boring.

Thunder vs Nuggets: Thunder in 5, maybe 6.

 

[VINYLONE]

Rose went to the line 21 times.

 

[memo is money]

Boozer cannot defend anything. Just sad. I'm expecting one of the best rookie playoff series performance from Tyler. FT disparity was inexplicable.

 

[jazzbasketball1232]

why did matthews hardly play for portland?

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Denver/OKC is the series I most want to see. Knicks/Boston could be good. I don't think I'm interested in the rest of them in this round, but I'll go:

SAS 4 -1 MEM

LAL 4 - 0 NOH

DEN 4 - 3 OKC

DAL 4 -2 POR

CHI 4 - 0 IND

MIA 4 - 0 PHI

BOS 4 - 2 NYC

ORL 4 - 3 ATL

It sucks the Jazz aren't playing right now.

Boozer cannot defend anything. Just sad. I'm expecting one of the best rookie playoff series performance from Tyler. FT disparity was inexplicable.

Hansboro hit a couple of J's in the fourth and you spin it into this. He was on the bench nearly half of the game due to foul trouble. Boozer actually played help defense in the first half, and rotated to help Noah, who got beat by Hibbert, as quick as I've ever seen him. Boozer had a big first quarter with 10 points and Hansboro didn't do ****. Then he got into foul trouble and couldn't get anything because Rose goes into the lane and throws up a shot half the time. The Pacers offensive execution was much better than the Bulls, they just couldn't stop Rose.

You only watched the last five minutes of the game. No comment about Rose going under screens and getting burned in the first half by the Pacers PG's? No comment about Granger being scoreless at halftime then putting up 24 in the second half? That's all Boozer's fault too, right?

Complete foolishness, as can only be done by the Boozer haters.

 

[The Thriller]

Hilarious watching Boozer being abused by T. Reminded me of the days he used to be schooled by Scola (and so many others)

Another fool who only watched the last five minutes. How about Boozer's 10 first quarter points when Tyler was guarding him? Then he got into foul trouble and only played 16 minutes after that.

The Boozer haters, easily the most delusional, retarded group of people in 'Jazz Nation'.

 

[Sloanfeld]

Chris Paul totally picked the Lakers apart today. It was brilliant to watch. Even when he was on the bench in the fourth quarter, Jack did well and the Hornets got to the line a lot. I really don't hate Chris Paul now that coach killer is gone. Chris Paul just did something that coach killer couldn't do in eight tries, beat the Lakers in a playoff game at Staples. Of course, the Hornets got a much better bench performance than we usually did against LA. Aaron Gray is a monster.
