Lakers-NuggetsWe all talk and know about Kobe Bryant, but look at Pau Gasol as that virgin back in junior high that's trying to get laid and when he finally does (make it into the playoffs) he starts banging left and right. Yea, that's Pau. PAU PAU! Dude dropped 36 points, while grabbing 16 boards. Kobe added 32. Yea, uh, this is the team to beat. Without any D, the enver Nuggets would be lucky to steal, and I mean, steal, one game in this series.
Spurs-SunsMaan, I know the game was Saturday night, but I'm still thinking about it (and Hopkins loss ... more on that later). The double-OT game was an absolute thriller. Mike Finley, Tim Duncan and Steve Nash all hit money treys to keep the game going. Duncan wound up with 40 and 15. God Damn.
But it never should have come down to that. The Suns led by 16 points in the second quarter, nine in the fourth, before letting the Spurs force OT. Phoenix even led by five in OT. The Suns let one go, maan! Will it cost the Suns, like it did in 2005 and '07, when the Spurs eliminated them!?
Pistons-SixersYea, the 76ers had a sh*tty ass record to get in the playoffs, but them Philly boys ball hard. Rasheed Wallace - a Philly cat and one of my favorite players EVER - should have known that. Rasheed was buggin' last night, even poking his head into the Sixers' huddle during a timeout. LOL. All that goofing around cost him. At least dude put the loss on himself like a real man, after missing a couple easy ones. Props to Philly for taking Game 1, but Detroit is taking the rest.
"This is on me," Wallace told the AP. "I missed some shots, and I missed some bunnies. There are no excuses. I got this one; I will put it on me."
MORE BALLSY PLAYOFF THOUGHTS ...
Hornets-MavericksOK CHRIS PAUL ... WE SEE YOU, KID! No pun intended on KID or else I would have said KIDD! Wamp Wamp. I mean, 35 points and 10 assists in his playoff debut and a Hornets'104-92 win ... yea, CP3 is in the building, beyatches!
Jazz-RocketsThe Jazz shot 52.1 percent; the Rockets 36.7. Ain't no punchline to that, mothaf**ka! No liftoff in Houston.
Celtics-HawksSnooze. Worst series in a minute. No competition, but it's fun to see the Big 3 do their thing! Congrats to KG and my, I mean, his wife on their newborn baby.
Magic-RaptorsDwight Howard is Superman. Fallback Shaq and give DH that tat on your arm (Unlike LL). I told y'all Canadian mofos ... it's a wrap for your Raps.
Cavaliers-WizardsLeBron James is the man. Ain't he!? Aint he!? Gilbert 'Agent 0' Arenas will work his way into the series more and more and I think the Wiz will take two games, but that's it. LeBron's something like a phenomenon!
Finally, switching gears to boxing, the kid's still heartbroken over Bernard Hopkins' loss to Joe Calzaghe! I thought B-Hop never got hurt, but Calzaghe's volume of punches killed him in the decision loss.
SOHH I hate to ask, but I gotta ... SHOULD B-HOP FINALLY HANG 'EM UP AND CALL IT A CAREER!?
I said, didn't I? I said that the Spurs were just bullshittin' tha regular season by. DON'T SLEEP ON TIMMY DUNCAN cause nigga is WIDE AWAKE. And TP wasn't even at his strongest Game 1. I'm callin' the Spurs in 6. Oh, and the Pistons should be embarrassed...
--
KB24? Shut up....dude was on tha bench half the game and his goons still got it done. You right about ENVER's D; They ain't got it. I'm callin' the Lakers in 5.
Tha Lakers are gonna sweep tha Nuggets easy....dis is gonna b an easy series for us...I think that tha Wizards will give tha Cavs a run for they money 4real
Just so u know, that was PAU's 13th playoff game, it was the 1st one he won tho...No 'D' and like 3 'G's Nugggets suck
yeah lakers got the first game but IT WASN'T EASY lakers are goin to break down with kobe gettin into foul trouble like that the nuggets got them so game 2 nuggets will come back fuck what anybody else say
Yeah, Lakers got the nuggets and my Cavs are def taking out the Wizards. My prediction is that the Lakers will be facing Boston if the Spurs or Suns can't make it all the way.
I Think The Lakers Got What It Takes This Year...
Pau Was A Beast( co sign i do believe he's played 13 po games but this is the first game with a team that he actually has a chance to win it all with)...
KB24 had 32pts, And In My Opinion, He Had A Horrible Game and Still Got That Shit..
I Also Now Believe Itll Be A Sweep BECAUSE The Only One The Did A Descent Job Gaurding Him was K Mart ( by holding em to only 32 pts) Which Left Melo Gaurding Pau and Yall Saw What Happen'd With That....
Timmy D Possibly In The Top 2 or 3 big Men To Ever Step On The Court... That Series Is Gonna BE NASSSSSTTTTYYY...
Mannnn, LA just riped the Nuggets yesterday. Obviously, the nuggets have absolutely no desire to play D. The only defensive minded person that they had las nightwas K-mart. Even Camby was pathetic! And what was that lil' guy Anthony Carter doing on the floor against LA's bigs is just a mistery.
My perdiction is LA in 5.
I just cannot wait to see the games 2 for Spurs, Suns, Hornets and Mavs.
By the way, Utah in 4 (Trust me I am not an Utah fan at all!!!! I just cannot see the Rockets getting a game in this series)
Great, great match ups this year in the west!
WEST
Jazz in 5
Lakers in 5
Mavs in 6
Spurs in 7
EAST
Celtics in 5
Magic in 6
Pistons in 6
Wizards in 6
What about GSP and Matt Serra?
Oh, yall dont wanna talk about that one, huh? Thats ok, and Matt's ok too, just a few broken ribs thats all
GSP baby!!!
Bernard is a sellout ! He been getting paid to lose since Jermain Taylor. Think about it ..... When he wanted to move up to light heavyweight he had to controversially lose his title so it wouldn't be vacated. and who better to lose to than then-undefeated Taylor ?? 8ow he's on the verge of retirement again so who better to lose to than the undefeated Calzaghe ? I think we all know about the "paper champion" rule in boxing don't we ?
for all the bullshit they were sayin bout the spurs bein "boring" and all that shit last year...its amazing 2 see all the "amazing exiting game" comments on the series... see its a beautiful thang 2 watch when we actually got COMPETITION!!
SPURS DRIVE FOR FIVE !!!!!
get off the nuttz!!
^^^
Spurs are just a serial killers. Ain't nothing boring about that.
I love their match up with the Suns.
Spurs will take it again, sorry Suns but y'all missed ur chance last year.
^^^^^^Cosign. Phoenix still can't beat us.
