[Magpiespower]

NBA Finals.

Kobe v LeBron.

Bring it!

[brod]

Chicago beat Detriot, meaning that the Pistons will come up against the Cavs, who today confirmed the best record for the league.
Their last game vs Philly will allow them to equal the all time best season record at home at 40-1

[kouta43]

Detroit are frustrating! Do you think they have the game to push lebron and the cavs?
The best team in texas are going along nicely won without yao the other day big mutumbo stepped up
not bad for a guy who turns 90 next week.

Results didnt go houstons way today! The cavs lost without lebron the coach aint thinking of making history ( most games won at home) his thinking of winning title. How do you think Portland will go?

[brod]

Think that the Rockets will be too strong, but as the records stand there are only 5 games between 2nd and 7th in the West, so three of the first round match ups should be great contests...the other BROOMS.

I think that this will make it harder for the West champ, as they have tough series all the way (excluding Lakers Round One), while the East have only two strong teams (Magic and Hawks gone for mine)

[brod]

Jawai hasnt played since Feb 20 and in back on the injured list with season totals of

5 games

Played one more game March 25, a win versus Milwaukee, where he saw 1 min of court time for no stats, so finishes the season in the D-League with NBA stats for his rookie season of
6 games
18 min
1/4 FG
2 reb (1 off, 1 def)
2 TO
3 PF
2 points

[kouta43]

Do ya reckon the rockets can go further then last season?

[Strawb]

Celtics to win it again

[Magpiespower]

Celtics to win it again

Totally uncalled for.

[Swooper16]

Garnett in doubt for the playoffs. They would find it tough to get past Chicago in the first round if that were the case.

Cavs Vs Lakers finals series with the Lakers to win it in 6.

[JK]

The East looks an intriguing series, with the Lakers progressing relatively unscathed in the West ... Wouldn't surprise to see the Mavs get through the first round now they don't have the expectations of recent seasons.

Can't wait for it all to start, luv the playoffs

[dragonsphere]

Celtics will make it to the eastern conference final without garnett with pierce carrying them.
orlanda could do some damage with big dwight. pretty sure it will be a kobe lebron showdown, with lebron the better player but with bynum the lakers are the better side.

[Swooper16]

Celts drop game 1 at home to the bulls..!!

[kouta43]

Rockets won easy mingy had 24 points from as many minutes but it was brooks top scoring with 27 scola with 19 and artsest with 17. Hope mingy aint injured cause when we wipe portland we come up against the lakers.

[kouta43]

A quick one Mutombo played 18 minutes 0 points 9 rebounds 1 steal 2 blocks.
