2007 NBA Playoffs

Sweet Mercy!!!another win for the Utah Jazz!! lead series 2-0

Damn....I'll tell you what...The Warriors would have been up 2-0, if Jackson would have made that 3 pointer at the buzzer in Game 1, and if they would have made their Free Throws at the end of regulation in Game 2...Oh well...

Im always amazed when they show the crowd at a Utah home game. It has to be the whitest fan base out of any of the teams

Not to mention most of them are wearing super secret special underwear.

Utah just crushed the warriors on the boards last night, and that's why they won. Without that lopsided advantage GS would have won pretty easily. But like I said before, it'll all be over soon for either team, so who really cares.

What I'm cheering for is a Detroit-Phoenix final. That would probably be a pretty good series.

Edited to add - btw, congrats to the Utah bandwagoner on his team's two close home wins over the #8 seed.

Fuck too many turnovers....oh well better get the next one!!!

Game 3...
Spurs 2
Suns 1

Damn Good Game...Ready for Game 4 !!!

Jazz leads series 3-1....Game 5 in SLC.

I watched the first three quarters last night and even though GS was leading a lot, it seemed pretty clear that Utah would win that game - GS just has literally nobody who can play defense inside. They're making Boozer look like an elite big man.

The conference finals in both conferences will be snoozers this year - no question Detroit and the Suns/Spurs winner win. Hopefully the finals will be competitive and make up for the conference finals.

Game 4...
Spurs 2
Suns 2

Dammit....Oh well...The Suns deserved this Game, they played Outstanding in the last couple of minutes of the 4th...Ready for Game 5 !!!

I used to kinda like the spurs.

Go Suns.

If for no other reason, I don't think Spurs/Pistons would be all that entertaining. We've all seen that already. At least Suns/Pistons would have some interesting matchups, and those are probably the two best teams in the NBA in terms of how they play together.

Very interesting stuff on these possible suspensions.

According to the auto-suspension rule Diaw and Stoudemire should be booted from the next game because they left the bench after Nash was thrown into the 14th row at the end of the game. But apparently way back in the second quarter Duncan and Bowen clearly left the bench as well.

So what now? The best case scenario would be to let all of them play so the series can be decided properly. But I for one hope that if Stoudemire and Diaw are booted, Duncan and Bowen get booted too. I think that'd hurt San Antonio a lot more than it would hurt Phoenix.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Diaw and Stoudemire are out for one game, wHorry is out for 2 games.

Advantage: Spurs.

Complete bullshit... Stern wants S.A. to win.

The way I see it...

...it'll be that much sweeter when the Suns knock the Spurs out and continue on to the Western Conference finals.

Tough luck for the cinderella story....Warriors actually played some freakin' good ball but the Jazz is not the Mavs - just way too many match up problems for GSW.....Jazz are just one of the best playing team ball right now period!!!...just look at the stats and comments from every sports writers. Boozer is a beast down low and the lack of size is showin' and hurtin' them way to much this series. Dallas didn't have any tough hardnosed players like the Jazz got to just grind ya down and wear ya out the way Jazz is doin' it.....Jazz are almost impossible to beat at home been like that for years......Here's a reality check might be time to mothball those all "We Believe" shirts....Jazz will close this out in Game 5!!!

Oh yeah btw....Watch for Memo Okur in tonight's game - he's got that incentive, he'll be paying back GSW big time. He doesn't forget the clothslining he got from J-Rich in the waining 30 seconds left in the game....he'll be putting up big numbers on Game 5!!!

As much I want Amare' and Diaw :rolleyes: (not a big Diaw fan) to play I think the NBA had to enforce that rule. A rule is a rule and you can't pick and choose when you apply it. I think they had to look at it in the big picture, and if it was the other way around and Duncan and Ginobli did similar I would sure as hell want them suspended, ticky tack or not. It's gonna be tough but I am optimistic, Nash, Bell, Marion and especially Curt Thomas have to step up. We will see tomorrow I'm excited.
I think this is some of the best NBA basketball I have seen in I don't know how long. I could watch these teams play a 10 game series.

Go Rockets!.......ooooppppsssss - Nope "gone fishing".

Go Warriors!......oooopppppssss - Nope "joined the Rockets gone fishing also"!!

bwaahahahahaha!!! "BELIEVE IN THIS!! dream is over....Warriors crumbled in the 4th Qtr!! Jazz win series 4-1....Yeaaahhhhhh!! we're in the Western Conf. Finals!

I understand that, but I just wish the players could decide this series. The Spurs now have a huge advantage in this series, and I think that sucks because frankly I thought it would go to Phoenix and I'm ready for a change. The Spurs still play that same boring brand of basketball that drove me away from watching the NBA. The league as a whole is now improving, but the Spurs apparently haven't gotten the memo yet.

I am sure that either one will have their way with utah. Has a team in recent memory ever had an easier path to the western conf finals? Ever?

I'm also hoping the pistons can pull their collective head out.

Hypocrisy! How can they suspend Stat and Diaw without doing the same for Duncan and Bowen. The official statement says that there was no altercation that Duncan and Bowen were reacting to, but when Stat and Diaw reacted, Horry was just walking away. No punches thrown or skirmish yet. If you want to follow "the letter of the law" do it both ways. Also, how do you not react when your point guard has been beat up the whole series and Bowen has not been disciplined for two very questionable actions? If I'm D'Antoni tonight, I sent Pat Burke in there to just start throwing punches to see how many Spurs he can get ejected at the start of the game.
How is this rule helping anyway, no one got involved in a fight, punish fighting, not gut reactions. Also, had James Jones cold cocked Elson after he got up having fallen off the rim onto Jones' back, Duncan and Bowen would have to have been ejected according to the rule since there would have been an actual altercation that they were on the court for.
Regardless, now we've set a fire under our boys to come out hard and fast tonight. And look out in game 6 when Stat gets unleashed.

Game 5...
Spurs 3
Suns 2

The Suns Played very well, just ran out of gas at the end...Ready for Game 6, It will be an awesome Game, with The Suns getting back Amare and Boris....May the Best Team Win !!!

Go Spurs Go!

The only thing i like about the Spurs is when the camera zooms in on Longoria...Go Suns!

The only thing I like about the Suns is when the camera zooms in on Jessica Alba...Go Spurs!

There's nothing I like about the Spurs.....GO SUNS!!!

Woohoo! It's official:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2874873

I think I'm more happy because the local media seems to have a boner for this guy. Oh well, a change was needed.

I now return you to the thread with teams that are actually still it.

Well DBAX, that was a Dam good Series...The Suns did play their ass off, but just could not do it at the end....

Send me your info

Looks the spurs are gonna win another championship.

Likely. The Pistons are the only team left that stands a chance.

Utah kept it closer than expected last night, but they'll be doing well to win one game.

O, C'mon, don't be Jealous....Just admit it..The Suns Choked once again...Take it like a man !!!!

Go Spurs Go!

Spurs 2
Utah 0
Go Spurs !!!

So is there any chance at all that Utah fanboy will be back? :rolleyes:

Go Spurs Go!

...Whahooooooooooo!!!!....Spurs, NBA Finals Bound...N I C E !!!

Guess not...

Bandwagon Bitch.

Go Rocke...er.... dammit.



Here's hoping Rick Adelman has better clock management skills than Jeff Van Gundy...

Holy Lebron.

Wow...he was awesome...one man show, though !!!

Holy Lebron is right. Why the Pistons have trouble with them I have no idea. If they get past Detroit I don't think the Spurs will be so easy for them.

Cool...The Stage is set for the 2007 NBA Finals...Spurs vs Cavs !!!....Who will be Champs ?

The spurs of course.

If I were the Cavs, I wouldn't even show up for the A$$ woopin' they're gunna get.

Spurs in 5.

Western Conference >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eastern Conference

With the way the lottery just went, the gap is going to get even bigger soon.

I know...but just wanted to have a Poll !!!

Fuck you....asshole!!
you are the bandwagon fucktard. First you jump with the Rockets then went with the Warriors oh and they went fishing early bwahahahaha....and sure enough you jump on the Spurs bandwagon you're pathetic and a waste of DNA!!!

Enough said before I slap you silly!!!

Actually I've been on the anti-utah bandwagon the entire time, as opposed to on the opposing teams' respective bandwagons. As I mentioned early on in this thread, my NBA team didn't even make the playoffs this year. That's going to be changing soon, of course, once Oden comes on board to join the very talented young group already in place.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Cavs in 6.

Ahhhh....Finally a challenger...That's good , man...We will see how it goes starting Tonite !!!...May the best Team win the Trophy !!!

Go Spurs Go!

As much as I like the Cavs to win the trophy, it's gonna be Timmy and the boys taking it in 6... GO CLIPPERS!!! Errrrr... Cavs... Errrr... Kobe!!! NOT!!! Hheehhehhehe... Spurs in 6... Fuck that... Cavs in 5... Hhahahhahaa...

- Air B

Holy NoShowLebron!

So...is it draft day yet?

1 Down 3 to go.....Go Spurs...Beat the Kingland Cavs !!!

Don't you mean the KingLess Cavs?????

Whahooooo !!!..2 Games Down, 2 to go !!!!

So...is it draft day yet?

I tried watching game 2, but slipped into a deep deep sleep before halftime.

What a choke by Cleveland. They had soo many chances in the last few minutes. oh well...is it hockey season yet??

Whahooooo...Wheeeeeeeeeee !!!..3 Games Down, 1 to go for the Trophy !!!!

Go Spurs Go!

This has to be one of the most boring championship series ever.

I agree....I think "The Real NBA Finals", was The Spurs-Suns Series !!!

Too bad that series was a tainted victory for the Spurs.

I hope you realize you should like Sooner fan.

You dirty son of a bitch.

There are some things you just can't take back.

Sorry Dude...The Suns Lost Game 1 on their Home Floor with ALL their Players, and Lost Game 6 with All Their Players, If The Suns were a better Team, they would have won the Series...Admit it, The Spurs Just Kicked Ass !!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only good thing about watching the Spurs is when the camera zooms into Eva Longoria...end of thread.

Eva is a Hottie...But, back to The Spurs...At least their brand of Playing NBA Basketball won them 3 Championships and another one on the way...End of Thread...

Let the Celebration Begin....Whahooooooo !!!!

true they win championships, but their "brand" of basketball doesn't even sell out games...the spurs are a good, boring team.

http://fullcourtnba.blogspot.com/2007/05/why-are-spurs-boring.html

Fans don't give a Rats Ass if they are boring,(all that write up shit is for the media), as long as they keep on Winning, and the Fans are Happy, That's what it's all about babyyyyyyy!!!!...How about your Team ?...

There team sucked so bad they went to memphis.

because i had a hand in making that team right? the only one to blame is that jack ass Stu Jackson. i dont feel bad about the grizzlies, they did suck and i hated watching them, cuz not only did they suck..they too were boring.

All im saying is the Spurs are not as exciting to watch....they're good (maybe i should bold that so no one gets offended), THEY"RE A GOOD TEAM, but if fans are really 'happy', then why is it they couldnt sell out the freakin Western Conference Final opener???? follow that by another poor attendance.

As much as i like seeing Duncan take the same damn little jumpshot from inside the paint, it gets old, thats all. Are people not open to opinion? take it easy, you guys are getting another championship.

ps. the spurs are a GOOD team...

You are intitled to your Opinion..yes Indeed..nothing wrong with that...But, so am I...If the Spurs Win Championships, while they Play "Boring" Ball...So be it !!! as long as they are Winning, and bring some $$$ to the City of San Antonio, and Fans are still supporting them....Bring on the Games !!!
P.S. Spurs will be the Blueprint of other NBA Teams in the near Future, just to win Championships..and then what....

and thats that

Spurs, 2007 NBA Champs
Yahoooooooooooo....Whupeeeeeeeee !!!!...man, what a night....Goooood Times!!!!....can't wait for the Parade...

This is what the end of Tim Duncan's reign looks like:

3 Plus one makes 4...

You wish.

If Portland takes Oden, gets rid of Zebo and Miles, brings in a guy like Rashard Lewis (likely), and keeps all their other young talent in place, they will be a title contender in 2 to 4 years.
