The Nuggets are officially out and it makes you wonder how long AI and Melo will put up with this before looking to get out. Any ideas? Anyone else want to chip in? Yeah its not looking good for them. AI is aging, the team is over the cap right now and i dont see them going anywhere next year or later unless big moves are made. Its like they dont even want to play defense... its really sad. The top best players on their team, AI and Melo, dont care about Defense or dont want to play Defense. Yeah, i agree with that. It seemed like the Pistons werent really interested in any run to start the series. But i think the 76ers will rebound to win game 6 and then game 7.... well we will see when it happens. Sam Dalemberts mockhawk is sooooo stupid. Like what the heck. I cant stand him. Why Billy King gave him 10 million a year to be the franchise guy i dont know, but whatever. Like what is he trying to do, intimidate Rashard Wallace? . My god i really want him gone.

O yeah... if Boston losses tommorrow that would really suck for the big three. The fans, eh probably upset but they have enough championships lately. But they should win.
My next round predictions:
Magic over Detroit in 6
Hornets over Spurs in 7
Lakers over Jazz in 6

Does a Hawks win top the Warriors upset over the Mavs last season?
I really hope the Magic can make a run and end up playing Boston in the Conference Finals.

Well the Hawks got killed... 65-99 i think?
And yes GEO, if they win they top the Warriors over Mavs. I really wished Golden State made it this year because i bet they could have went to 7 games with the Lakers.
The Hornets are freaking good man. Paul anchors the team, they have Peja shooting the threes, and Chandler and David West down low. They are complete and could win the NBA finals.

It's good to see Chris Paul getting the exposure he deserves in the Playoffs. He quietly led the Hornets all season and is finally getting to showcase his talent nationally. If you think Steve Nash is good, wait until you see CP3 in a couple of years.
The Celtics need to be convincing in this series against the Cavs. They can't rely on the energy of the Garden to get them fired up. This is the Playoffs! They can't afford to come out flat against Lebron. How about a Boston-LA Finals? I haven't heard much talk about it. It's an 80s rivalry renewed. It would be huge for the NBA.

The Cavs will be a good test for the Celtics. If Boston can beat them in five or six games, I think they'll gain some confidence in this round. Otherwise, another seven game series could crush them for the Eastern Conference Finals.
What about the Pistons? I don't hear many people talking about them. What are their chances of making the Finals?

Winning in Boston is just too tough. But I really think the Cavaliers will give the Celtics a run for their money. Possibly another 7 game series.
The Lakers are the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NBA this year. Noone is stopping them (at least for now)
Hornets= Scary good. But they need to step up on the road here against San Antonio. I can definitley see the Spurs coming right back and winning 2 in a row to tie the series up.
Pistons and Magic is probably the least intriuging series. Pistons in.... 5 or 6 games.

Spurs win last night and the series is 2-1 Hornets.
The Magic won game 3 two nights ago and are down 2-1. Billups isnt sure if hes playing yet due to his hamstring injury.
The Lakers are up 2-0 and so are the Celtics.

The Lakers have been very impressive so far and will gain a huge advantage if they can win their series in 4 or 5 games. A nice break would be huge prior to playing the Hornets or Spurs.

How bout Lebron? Shooting 19 Percent vs Boston thus far. He better step it up if the Cavs are gonna have any shoot.

Boston is a very good defensive team and because of the big three, they can afford to have two all stars having bad nights as long as the third picks it up. The Cavs can't afford for Lebron to go down, thus, they lose if he plays badly. What's your prediction for Game 3? Will Lebron kick it to another gear?
Update on Pistons-Magic: Detroit leads 30-27 in the second quarter.

Pistons won, 90-89. They lead the series 3-1 now. See ya later Orlando.
Cleveland leads Boston 52-35 at half. Cleveland is shooting 66%.
Boston is really horrible on the road.
I just heard a stat, that Boston gives up 75 points per game at home and 100 on the road in the playoffs.

Celtics-Cavs Game 7 tomorrow. For all of you Boston haters, I seriouslly doubt Boston will lose Game 7 at home. Sure, they've been awful on the road, but it'll be tough for Lebron to dominate a game on the road.
The Lakers are through to the Conference Finals with a six-game win over the Jazz while the Hornets and Spurs have a Game 7 scheduled for Monday.

Conference Finals: Detroit @ Boston New Orleans/San Antonio @ LA
Any predictions for tonight Hornets-Spurs game? I'm hoping NO can pull it out, but it's going to be a dog fight either way.
