NBA Playoffs

[peplaw06]

rockets vs lakers, its all about kobe vs battier/artest.

if they can contain him, i think they have a shot. seeing as that is gonna be very unlikely, id say the lakers are gonna win the series.

i hope the rockets win though, im pulling for them hard (my second favorite team)

I have a feeling Kobe is gonna be pissed and go completely nuts against Artest.

Artest was calling Brandon Roy the toughest guy he's ever had to defend and saying he was the only player to get 40 on him. If there is one thing I don't want to do if I'm guarding Kobe it's piss him off and Artest has done it once before this season.... it didn't turn out well for him.

i agree, that and kobe said he REALLY wanted the blazers in the playoffs after they lost to them at the end of the season, and the rockets messed that up for him. we'll see though, dont be surprised to see a hard foul or two on him courtesy of artest if he starts going off.

btw i fell asleep at the beggining of the bulls game, missed the entire thing. i woke up when eddie house hit a 2 to bring it within 1 in the third OT.

DOH! :laugh2:

Rondo's not gonna be suspended for throwing his elbow at Heinrich...??

The NBA... whatever it takes to sell the tickets and draw in the ratings.

If they didn't toss him for game five, then they're not doing it.

haha, ya, but i have to take nap times whenever they come, the baby was very fussy this past week.

ya, the NBA is a joke. i mean the r****** is so ridiculously favored to stars and big market teams its not even funny. Tim Duncan gets calls that someone like dampier would never get. George Hill was getting mugged against the mavs and they didnt call anything, but if it would have been CP3 or Tony Parker, it would have been called. My one biggest example has to be Pau Gasol. He isnt any better than he was at Memphis, its just that he is a laker now, so all of the sudden he is getting a ridiculous amount of calls and getting away with murded on some lesser players. Id say i love the spurs and the sport of basketball, but i really, REALLY, hate the NBA and david "crook" stern

Bulls just flat out sucked in the second quarter which will most likely cost them the game.

It figures I miss a classic 3OT game and watch a blowout. :

I blame the coach. The team succeeded in pushing this as far as they did in spite of Del Negro.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Artest and Battier have to hold Kobe down by his cape. But mostly... THIS GUY needs to be huge for the Rockets to have a realistic shot against the Lakers...

It wouldn't hurt either if Luis Scola carried over his excellent play in the Blazers series. Add nice bench contributions from guys like Von Wafer and... it's still a tall order.

Go Rockets.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Darn. That stinks. The Rockets were taking the Lakers to the edge in game one (with great defense) and Yao blows his knee out in a collision with Kobe.

"Well, I used to love her, but it's all over now..."

Sucks. Sure hope Yao can come back from the injury.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Yao is back in the game and appears it wasn't too serious.

Wheeeeeew!

 

[Rampage]

wooooooooo how bout them Rockets?

Tough defense is the only way they can outlast the Lakers in this series. So far, so good.

Kobe was 14-31

I'll take that every night. Great man-up dee by Shane Battier and Ron-Ron.

Im rooting for LA, not a good start to the series, but I believe they will get thier crapola together.

Take down L.A.! All I care about is that the Lakers, Spurs and Celtics lose. So far, one down.
