Holy Zach Randolph!!!

[lintmunro]

Portland struggles with injuries and gets eliminated.

Zach Randolph leads the Memphis Grizzlies past the top seeded Spurs into the second round.

God is laughing at you, Blazers fans.

im not sayin i would even necessarily pick dallas to win, just that they have a legitimate shot and i wouldnt be that surprised to see it happen

I probably wouldn't pick Dallas to win if I were an unbiased party.

I would have against Portland, though.

That being said, Dallas over LA in 6.

We actually match up fairly well with LA when you go by position by position. I think Brewer could actually play some solid defensive minutes against Kobe.

Spurs are getting tired...been harder and harder to watch the last few years.

08 lost 4-1 WCF

09 lost 4-1 1st Rnd

10 lost 4-0 2nd Rnd

11 lost 4-2 1st Rnd (home court)

[youkinorn2]

If you need championships to enjoy your team, your team sucks.

But I agree, the Spurs suck.

[Aeroplane]

I enjoy rooting for the Spurs.

It's getting wiped off the floor in the postseason as of late that sucks.

The only thing with Brewer is that while he can definitely defend Kobe, Kobe won't have to defend him. Since Kobe's not at full-strength, a fact I'm sure we'll hear about endlessly and without pause, that means he'll be able to stand around and pick his nose on defence. Brewer's barely a threat to score when he's open, let alone with anyone within ten feet of him.

we're used to it.

I can't see the Mavs beating the Lakers. I think the approach to building this team has been wrong. I've never thought of Dirk as highly as others have and in the last few years, they've been taking this approach where they assemble a team of veteran players who could be effective in greater roles and slot them into small, role-player roles. Their 8th best player is as good as their 2nd. You're not sure what you'll get out of those guys except for Dirk - none of them actually step up for games at a stretch. The Lakers have this series, but will drop two games.

[abrupt stop]

Boozer has been disappointing thus far in the playoffs. He really needs to study tape of Zbo so he can make an impact when he returns from his turf-toe, whenever thats gonna be...

[josh mullen]

Agreed. If Boozer manages to get his shit together, the Bulls will roll through LA in the finals. If not, who knows...

Yeah, I don't see brewer being a factor offensively...but 6 solid fouls to throw at Kobe. Basically Stevenson x 2.

I do not agree with this at all (even from an objective standpoint).

Boozer has had a really bad few seasons. He should be a superstar, but he just seems to play some really lazy, uninspired basketball these days.

[Premo]

MEMPHIS.

fucking shit up in OKC atm

[mpc60]

-9 with the poorest game of their season the c's are still here :/ (edit :strangely the boxscore is not as ridiculous as i imagined

WTF the second Technical foul on Pierce :/

[abrupt stop]

I'm not a fan of either team but WOW @ the refs during the heat/celtics game. The celtics really never had a chance with those calls...

[DaBestSpoona]

LOLZ @ the celtics! You cant pull any of that moving screens, holding players shoulders to prevent rebounds, tripping, and elbows when Wade and Lebron are getting their cocks slurped by the refs.

[conqueror]

would have been the best thing ever if it wasn't fake.

[youkinorn2]

GAME DAY

Is that what Pierce said or is that fake?!
