The 2008 playoffs thread

[ziggy]

I'll sticky this thread for the remainder of the playoffs

I'm really looking forward to the Cavs / Wizards series. The Wizards have been talking major trash to LBJ and this is their opportunity to prove that they can back it up.
Also this is a chance for Hibachi to redeem himself after choking on the free throw line after allowing Lebron's whisper to get to him.

What I'm not looking forward to is the (admittedly slim) possibility that the Hornets go deep into the playoffs or Lord forbid win it all. If I have to see George Shinn lift the championship trophy then I may give up basketball completely.

duncan for 40? was there a time machine or sumthin'?

WooooOOO!!! I kinda miss hearing that at the games. Paul was unbelievable again yesterday and showed all the people who haven't been watching him why he should be MVP and why they can get past the Mavs. Inexperienced my ass. The Hornets are legit. I for one am pulling for them. I don't hold any animosity towards the team and believe it or not I've seen and read enough about the good things Shinn is doing in NO to actually believe that he's not as evil all the time as most Charlotteans like to believe. That being said I think they'll lose to the Lakers if they face them in the WCF. I can see them getting passed the winner of the Suns/Spurs as they handled both teams very well during the regular season.

Great games all around though. I ordered some wings, made some steaks for dinner, watched a quadruple header and didn't leave the couch all day. It was glorious.

Right off the bat, I'm watching the Cavs-Wizards game and realizing that this is why I love the NBA.

They were at each others throats even before the first half was over. Great passion.

Is LeBron a freak or what?

...and Jamison played very well. He's a good guy. I especially liked how he ran to protect Haywood when it looked like Ilgauskas might go all Lithuanian on him.

Imagine how cool it would be to be rooting for the Bobcats right now.

Oh, that was so much fun!!! Watching Mrs. McGrady and his Rockettes go down 0-2 against Utah!!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Seriously, after his whining in both games vs. the Cats this year, he's by far my new least-favorite....though Timmy Duncan and Kobe are, as always, in contention for cry-baby of the year.

Yep it's been great to watch Horford and Smith have impressed the hell out of me.

I love Joe Johnson more than I ever have before.

If that is even humanly possible.

That crossover he used on Posey before he hit that fallaway jumper was a thing of beauty.
