NBA Playoffs

All the teams have just about been set. Looking at some from the east who failed to make it, New Jersey, Orlando, Toronto, New York...all former playoff mainstays. Same with Minnesota, LA Lakers, Utah, and Portland. Good to see some of the new rookies really stepping up and into the fray of the NBA, causing a shift of powers of sorts.

Do you watch all sports Jim?

Pretty much yea...basketball, baseball, football, a little bit of hockey, fishing, golf, very little rugby

I'm so happy that my Bulls made it but with Curry and Deng (2 starters) out for the rest of the season.....I'm not expecting much

I'd be worried about Curry long term...I don't know the exact details but Jesus, heart conditions aren't good...I know, the Celts lost Reggie Lewis...I hope no tragedy like that comes of it.

Yeah...it sucks, just when the guy starts livin up to the hype and playing some damn good basketball....this happens. But, his condition has really yet to be accurately diagnosed, they're just keeping him out to be cautious. Hopefully they will figure out what the problem is and be able to correct so they young guy can continue his dream of playing in the NBA.

Phoenix Suns are the team to watch in the west!

when is tim dunkin' coming back for the spurs?

You shouldn't count the Nets out yet. As shitty as the Cavs are playing right now it's looking like they'll be out and the Nets will be in.

too bad for LBJ, he is putting up MVP numbers and playing 48 a nite

I'm happy for my hometown Pacers though. It's an amazing job they've done making it to the playoffs without their best players. I'm glad that Reggie will be in the playoffs one last time. And it's looking like they'll get Boston in the first round which is definitely a team they can beat.

Reggie Miller

I'm biased bering form INdy, but I think the Pacers are set to make a run. they've been playing solid basketball lately, and should have O'Neal and Artest back for the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how good of shape they're in, but the Pacers could surprise some people

Much rather play Boston than Chicago right now

hooray for my hometown sonics, overcoming critics to get where they are, and then they lose 6 of 7 to crawl into to the playoffs beaten before they get there (i figure they will pull it out tonite, up 28 with 3 mins left against the hornets)

I think I remember seeing a quote from David Stern saying that he won't allow Artest back for the playoffs.

I hope to God you are joking with that farce of a post. Boston has a better 6th man, Ricky Davis over Ben Gordon. Veteran leadership with Gary Payton. WHO on the Bulls even comes close to Pierce, WHO, I'd legit like to know. And the Celts have the most underrated player in the NBA, Antoine Walker. So don't shovel shit against the Celtics when it's BS, they're going to the NBA Finals

they will have to get through miami first, and that aint gonna happen with a healthy shaq
