The Official 2009 NBA Playoffs Thread

[SWedd523]

Post up your thoughts of all the matchups and share you think about the games. Who's your favorites and who do you think have the best chance of winning?

[SWedd523]

Boston and Chicago are in overtime (!) right now. The game is all tied up 103-103 and Rose has something like 36 points right now. If the Bulls keep up their hot streak and tough play and steal one on the road, the Celts might be kicked out in the first round :o

[bing!]

Bulls lead by two and have possession of the ball, I am thoroughly enjoying this.

[Dead_Real]

Rose = top 5 PG I swear he makes it look so easy amazing playoff debut from him

lol @ the Celtics

[bing!]

Ray missed the buzzer beater, it's 0-1 for the Celtics. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I see Chicago advancing to the 2nd on a 4-2.

[SWedd523]

Huge win for the Bulls. Even bigger playoff debut for Rose! 4-3 Bulls is my guess, but if Ray Allen's playoff woes continue then 4-2 won't be that impossible.

The Bulls are going to be the Eastern version of the Mavericks--a lower tier team that comes in playing hot basketball and ends up knocking out a top team

[bing!]

My take on the 1st round...

Cle 4 - 2 Det
Bos 2 - 4 Chi
Phi 1 - 4 Orl
Mia 3 - 4 Atl

La 4 - 2 Uta
No 2 - 4 Den
Dal 3 - 4 Sa
Hou ? - ? Por (<-- this one's an enigma for me)

No sweeps!

[teej]

I could see New Orleans beating Denver...in 6...or not at all

but damn you Ray Allen...again :p

At this point I hate the Bulls for knocking us out, and I like the Celts, so that stings.

[BETCATS]

I am so happy the Celtics lost. Chicago is doing our bidding for us now! Also, i see Orlando sweeping Philly, because Philly talked A LOT of shit, then downplayed it:

Andre Miller acknowledged that every team in the Eastern Conference wanted to avoid Cleveland, the NBA’s best team, and Boston, the reigning champion…”We just wanted to put ourselves in position where we can try to do something in the playoffs,” Miller said. “Boston is a team that people have in the conference finals. It’s probably easier to go through Orlando than to try and match up with Boston, with Boston coming in with a lot of energy and trying to get through the first round as fast as they can.”
“I agree with ‘Dre,” Thaddeus Young said. “Orlando’s a great team, but we definitely want to play them. Boston is fresh off a championship. That’s the worst thing you can do is go play a team that just won a championship. They’re going to want to get back and be hungry.”

[SWedd523]

My take on the 1st round...

Cle 4 - 2 Det
Bos 2 - 4 Chi
Phi 1 - 4 Orl
Mia 3 - 4 Atl

La 4 - 2 Uta
No 2 - 4 Den
Dal 3 - 4 Sa
Hou ? - ? Por (<-- this one's an enigma for me)

No sweeps!
Not bad at all!

CLE 4-2 DET
BOS 3-4 CHI
PHI 2-4 ORL
MIA 4-3 ATL

LAL 4-2 UTH
NOH 3-4 DEN
DAL 4-3 SAS
HOU 3-4 POR (My toughest matchup also, I just see Portland moving on because their fans are rabid)

[bing!]

I reckon Oden will set a new playoff PF/min record... I'm serious.

[teej]

I reckon Oden will set a new playoff PF/min record... I'm serious.

He had what, 9/48 in the reg. season?

[bing!]

^ 6.5 per36 adjusted, 8.7/48.

Matching up against Yao will see that number skyrocket, or, he'll decide that is high time to explode, and what better time than his playoff debut? :g:

Which knee this time?

[SWedd523]

LeBron drops 38 and the Cavs cruise to an 18 point victory over the Pistons. Closest chance of a sweep right here guys

[bing!]

Which knee this time?
:D

From once in a decade talent hype to Sam Bowie likenings, nothing will come as surprising, not even an exploding knee (which takes out half the Rockets' roster and cements Portland's advance). :o

[bing!]

LeBron drops 38 and the Cavs cruise to an 18 point victory over the Pistons. Closest chance of a sweep right here guys
LeBron is bound to put on at least one cold turkey performance in the 1st. Cavs have a deep roster, but too much revolves around him, if he's down, his team is down.

[ziggy]

Post up your thoughts of all the matchups and share you think about the games. Who's your favorites and who do you think have the best chance of winning?

Swedd, you must be a mind reader. I was about to post this exact thread.

As far as the first round, the series that I'm keeping an eye on is Portland/Houston. The Blazers are extremely dangerous (young, but dangerous) and I can easily see them going farther than many people would expect.

[ziggy]

Lebron James should be illegal... That is all.

[BETCATS]

Ryan Hollins is playing right now!!! He made a couple ooopies (thats turnovers in b-ball lingo) but i still love him (yes/no maybe homo. circle one). I am still rooting for the spurs though.

My predictions

CLE 4-0 DET
BOS 2-4 CHI
PHI 0-4 ORL
MIA 4-3 ATL

LAL 4-3 UTH
NOH 3-4 DEN
DAL 2-4 SAS
HOU 3-4 POR

I wan a Nuggets v. Cavs finals.
I might be the only one, but Carmelo v. Lebron (2 great players that will guard each other/match up against each other) is more intresting to me than Kobe v. Lebron (because whoever wins that will just have a group of obnoxious teenagers, including me if the Cavs win, using it as 'proof' that one is better than the other which in reallity could not be detirmined by that)

[Dead_Real]

L.A. Lakers over Utah Jazz (4-3 )
Orlando Magic over Philadelphia 76ers (4-2)
*Miami Heat over Atlanta Hawks (4-3)
Denver Nuggets over N.O. Hornets (4-3)
Chicago Bulls over Boston (4-3)
Cleveland Cavaliers over Detroit Pistons (4-1)
San Antonio Spurs over Dallas Mavericks (4-3)
Houston Rockets over Portland Trail Blazers (4-3)

I'm really looking forward to Nuggets/NO & ATL/Heat series.

[G-Force for MVP]

lets go jazz!!!!

[bing!]

Shannon is ahead of Farmar in Lakers' rotation, that's surprising. Who would have thought?

... anyone recall Adam? :biggrin:

[Dead_Real]

Jazz defense/intensity is lackluster ugly showing from them so far. They might as well risk playing Deron w/ 2 fouls with how Alien Head is playing

[bing!]

Hah, Philly scored 35 in the 4th and won the series opener.

[ziggy]

That was a hell of a comeback by Philly to come back from 18 points down in the 4th quarter. I know that it's still early in the series, but I would really enjoy seeing Orlando get bounced in the first round.

[SWedd523]

GREAT comeback by Philly to win that game. When Iggy missed those 2 free throws at the end I figured that was over for the Sixers but they held strong.



p.s. WOW does Miami get more calls than anybody else in the world :hypo:

p.p.s. lovin' Beasly's minifro!

[Dead_Real]

I expected Wade & Beasley to really carry there squad against the more loaded Hawks but damn they're getting murdered.

ps I see why Slam loves Iggy so much dude is clutch so many game winners in 1 season.

Beasley is trying his best but he can only do so much Wade is not even looking for his shot strange.

[teej]

Well Philly got away with talking shit for one game...and I'd love to see Orlando lose after the crap they did to us, but dang I wish Utah had beaten LA, I know its a dream, but that'd be awesome...ATL KILLING Miami

[Dead_Real]

Denver/Hornets is realy good so far Billups is lights out. CP3's flopping is epic wow

[Dead_Real]

Billups with 7 3 pointers w/ 33 & still a lot of time left I think this Denver team could pull off some upsets.

[teej]

I'm gonna take from Jay Harris, Sportscenter anchor, and give you guys his facebook status, because it echoes my opinion.


Move over Paul Pierce...Ray Allen was "The Truth" tonight. And would someone please tell KG to not ever make that face....ever....ever again. :-)

[SWedd523]

I'm gonna take from Jay Harris, Sportscenter anchor, and give you guys his facebook status, because it echoes my opinion.
I'm sorry, but I don't know if the Celtics can pull it out. They dropped one at home and almost lost another tonight.

[bing!]

My remote felt the brunt of my frustration when Allen hit that last shot. I stayed up till 4am last night/this morning just to see the egghead do his happy dance yet again, ungh, the hatred. I can't say I know why I loathe the Celtics so.

[Dead_Real]

I'm sorry, but I don't know if the Celtics can pull it out. They dropped one at home and almost lost another tonight.
This series will go the distance & could honestly go either way. I expected Boston to come out motivated last night lets see what they can do on the road now.

[Dead_Real]

Celtics take the lead now in the series 2-1 man I really hate Boston.

[davcbow]

Remember I said this here.....


Something tells me Boston wont lose any more to the bulls...:cool:

So far its holding true..... Boston isnt gonna just roll over and die because no one likes them..... They may lose 1 more game but I doubt it....:cool:

[SWedd523]

How 'bout Philly with the 2-1 lead?! :hypo:

[davcbow]

How 'bout Philly with the 2-1 lead?! :hypo:


I will say this about that series if it goes 7 games then I say Orlando if it goes sooner Philly... :cool:

Go Philly btw

[davcbow]

Some teams are coming into their own or peeking now and others are just getting old....:cool:

[SWedd523]

Cleveland is dominating (no surprise)
Boston showing some resiliency holding off Chicago so far
Philly is a huge surprise
Atlanta has absolutely ZERO halfcourt game
LA looking good but showing some weaknesses
Denver having more problems than I thought they would
Dallas falling right into line as my upset
Portland looking horrible (re: very young) against Houston

[bing!]

Ray Allen's at it again. He's hit a trey that tied the game and sent it to OT. I utterly hate that man's guts.

[bing!]

10 secs to go, Bulls down by one, Celtic with the possession. Ben Gordon missed a free-throw that could have tied this game, I'm at the edge of my seaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... *thump*

EDIT: Damn, this is one good game, Mr. Gordon to the rescue!
EDIT2: ... yay Bulls! (imagine the thrill if the Cats were playing the Celtics now, fuck!)

[SWedd523]

Huge win by the Bulls to tie things up going back to Boston:biggrin:

[bing!]

... they do it from behind!

[Dead_Real]

Jesus Shuttlesworth is going off tonight with 29 points in the 1st half wow Bulls have no answer for him.

[bing!]

The BOS - CHI series is... surreal.

'tis an OT fest!

:hypo:

whatve you got against them...the bulls kept us out of the playoffs!!

[bing!]

^ so did the Pistons, to be precise.

I always cheer for the underdog... and bash the privileged.

[Dead_Real]

The BOS - CHI series is... surreal.

'tis an OT fest!
agreed every game has been amazing.

Ray Allen = Reggie Miller V2 clutch shot after clutch shot

3rd OT wow

[ziggy]

I'm convinced that Ray Allen is the devil. His last couple of shots were ridiculous.

[dnbman]

I'm convinced that Ray Allen is the devil. His last couple of shots were ridiculous.

Cold blooded killa.

[dnbman]

That Noah play was bananas.

[Dead_Real]

The Bulls & Boston fans must be having heart attacks during these games

[bing!]

^ their RealGM thread is full of people complaining about chest pains and shooting sensations in their left arms.

[dnbman]

The Bulls & Boston fans must be having heart attacks during these games

No kidding.

At what point do they start playing H-O-R-S-E?

[bing!]

Hinrich is an imbecile!

[ziggy]

Wow, Hinrich misses the layup:o

[teej]

This is more like a game thread...and i'm the lone man on the Boston side...come on Amour! I know you're here somewhere!

[dnbman]

That block was bananas.

It's a jungle tonight. And the jungle is full of banana trees.

Oh, and Hinrich has an H.

[Dead_Real]

LOL @ Rondo costing them the series win

[bing!]

Rose froze. (rhyme... unintended)

Whom do you have winning game no.7?

[ziggy]

Any predictions on Bulls/Celtics game 7?

[Dead_Real]

I'm sticking w/ the Bulls upset Rose has played tremendous in Boston.

[teej]

Celts FTW...Pierce and Allen have gotta be pissed. Doc is pissed. Big Baby is crying. So theyll show up for game 7...even though they wont advance past the 2nd round...

[bing!]

I expect serious altercations between the players, coaches, fans, riot police, super heroes...

[Dead_Real]

Hopefully the Bulls win in OT so I can see KG & Glen Davis cry again

[bing!]

Garnett wouldn't cry, he'd make that manly grimace of his and weep on the inside. :biggrin:

[Dead_Real]

Garnett wouldn't cry, he'd make that manly grimace of his and weep on the inside. :biggrin:
I hate when he does that

SMH at Rondo playing tonight I didn't know you could use UFC moves in the NBA

[Dead_Real]

That Rose block was insane

[bing!]

Scalabrine certainly lacks the power to play the power-forward position

[Dead_Real]

Bulls showing there youth very sloppy 2nd quarter

[ziggy]

I hate the Celtics.

[Dead_Real]

Rose needs to continue looking for his own shot

It's all but over

[teej]

Celts win!! :biggrin:

If only Garnett could play, but I think they can beat Stan Van's Magic without him...anyone think he can come back for the Cavs series (if they make it)

and I'm taking the Mavs over the Nuggets in Round Two...

[Dead_Real]

Damn the Hawks-heat series has been horrible

2nd round predictions

Denver over Dallas
Lakers over Rockets
Orlando over Boston (Howard is going to have a field day against there big man)
Cleveland over Hawks

[bing!]

The Hawks lead by 26 with 8 and a half minutes to go. The Heat are abysmal.

I'll still hate the Celtics till the end of my days. It's an unfounded hatred, but I cherish it so.

Someone ought to create an official 2nd round thread.

How long is Garnett out for?:g:

[Dead_Real]

How long is Garnett out for?:g:
last time he suited up he could barely walk

[teej]

Garnett has no medical injury per se, just age. And only he knows how long he's out.

How about Kobe throwing the elbow + getting t'd up, Artest getting ejected, and Von wafer just leaving? heckva little series we have in LA-Houston

[bing!]

"You’re hitting the wrong guy!" ... damn, I wish Artest'd clocked him.

One thing I hate in the BOS-ORL series is that J.J. & his silky smooth jumper are kinda growin' on me... ungh.

[teej]

JJ is a faggot whining bitch, plain and simple. Just come watch a game of his and listen to him, he won't grow on you anymore.

[bing!]

Now now, rein in that Tar Heelism induced hatred. :biggrin:

[bing!]

Alston, Fisher suspended by NBA

NEW YORK (AP) —Rafer Alston of Orlando and Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers have each been suspended for the next game of their playoff series.

In the Magic’s 112-94 loss on Tuesday night, Boston’s Eddie House was celebrating as after making a shot when Alston reached out and slapped him in the back of the head. Each received a technical foul after standing face-to-face for a few seconds before referees intervened.

For Los Angeles, Fisher was called for a flagrant foul when he collided with Luis Scola, who was setting a pick, as the Rockets brought the ball up the court. He was ejected.

Both players will sit out of games on Friday. The Magic are at home, tied 1-1 with Boston, while the Lakers will be in Houston. That series is also 1-1.

^ Source (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AmZcfxLMVpn_ZR1RUlh8ND68vLYF?slug=txnbap layoffsuspension&prov=st&type=lgns)

[Dead_Real]

^Not surprised Stern had to make it look like he's doing his job after letting Rondo get away with 3 flagrant fouls in 1 week.

That Eddie House smack was hilarious it reminded me of Rick James smacking Charlie Murphy on chappelle show so unexpected lol.

[SWedd523]

Kobe shouldn't be allowed to play in game three either. He elbowed Artest in the face and ARTEST got called for the foul.


Also, boy did the Celtics get some hold court calls last night. One major example is when Big Baby stole the ball from Rashard Lewis and was CLEARLY out of bounds.

I'm surprised some of the people in here that oppose favoritism haven't said anything yet.

[SWedd523]

Now now, rein in that Tar Heelism induced hatred. :biggrin:
teej you sure sound like you're going a little overboard with that. You think JJ is a whiny bitch.... have you seen a game with KG in it? :rolleyes:


I'm one of the biggest Tar Heels homers here, but I love JJ :biggrin:

The Bobcats-Orlando game I went to, the only game where I actually had seats close enough to hear the players, the dude was whining to the refs after every shot, and he was making excuses for him not making anything. And the whole spiking his hair like a tool thing isnt working either...

And I'm a UNC fan, but I'll call a Tar Heel out if he isn't doing whats right...just read my J-Pep post in the MJ thread, I don't like Vince Carter for not giving effort, and I thinke veryone knows my opinions about Sean May.

[davcbow]

No. He did the right thing. I hate the whole intentional foul thing. I never really approved of it and think its a cop out from playing tough defense. They should have called a technical with 2 shots and possession.

Or in other words, that's what they get for trying to foul and not trying to D up :(

Yeah, but if you're trying to intentionally foul someone, and its legal for you to intentionally foul them, then the ref has to call it. Whether you like it or not, rules are rules. If he messes up again he should not be allowed to ref playoff games for one or two years. Stern needs to show us that he cares about the awful officiating. They ruined Bulls-Celts game 7 by making it a FT contest, and they tossed Artest because he's Artest. Make's me sick. Why can't we just play the fucking game?

So are you agreeing with me or not?

[teej]

So are you agreeing with me or not?

I think he should be reprimanded because the rules say that they can intentionally foul.

However, I don't like intentional fouls or any of the cheap fouls D-Wade, Kobe, etc. get. I think it cheapens the game.

One of the Browns had a solid game, 14pts & 3rbs in 19mins with a +/- of +14.

[davcbow]

I prefer to let the game be decided by the players, not the refs.


Since the rules say they can do a intentional foul and a team does use that option, then that is the players playing the game, by the ref not calling the foul when it happens, the ref has changed the outcome of the game.... Its part of the game, its allowed... Dallas had the lead by 2 points and because of the no call Denver wins it instead of maybe just getting a tie or loosing. Stearn needs to get on the refs about consistancy and no favortism.... Bad calls and no calls when they happen ruin the game. If you dont like the rules you can always take that up with Stern....:cool:

Lakers are up by 20 after the first half, guess that series is done with.

Denver over LA in 7
Cavs over Magic in 7

Denver will shock the world I see Melo & Billups playing w/ chips on their shoulders. Melo will show he's All NBA 1st/2nd team worthy & Big Shot will show why he was a MVP candidate. Nobody expected them to make it this deep but I like Denver's toughness, depth & ability to steal a game or two on the road over LA.

[Dead_Real]

LMAO @ WWE Raw & Nuggets home game being double booked on the same night I wonde how this plays out.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/18/AR2009051802515.html
