NBA 2008-2009 Season

[Dimmauk]

I think this is one of the best series ive ever seen. This is heaven for a basketball fan. The drama, emotion, the rivalry, is fucking fantastic! Thank you Bulls and Celtics.

[Rhinox]

TNT we know drama

The finals are going to be so disappointing.

Nah, watching the King defeat the LA Kobes will be fun to watch.

[Flarega]

Yeah I mentioned it a couple pages ago. Because of Rome, the drinking game was born

Ah, my bad, guess I've been having trouble concentrating lately.

They need to make a special trophy for the winner of this series. Not just as a reward from the fans but also cuz it's gonna be the only trophy either of these teams is gonna win. The winner is going to be so exhausted and spent. I would not be surprised if they got swept in the second round

You best be joking

Interestingly enough, a lot of people seem to buying into the lebron hype lol. Someone told me Las Vegas has the Lakers as a underdog by a pretty big margian vs the Cavs.

This is what you get when the NBA tries to shove Lebron down the audience's throat.

i feel bad for you man, you are in for a bigger disappointment than the rest of us

[Heavencloud]

Lebron makes the NBA not fun to watch...

Portland out, good year, should be great next year. Now I can cheer for the Lakers, yay!
I'm pretty sure the cavs have no chance against the lakers, remember the regular season game at cleveland? Lakers took em to town.

[Dimmauk]

Regular season means nothing. The way the Nuggets are playing I wouldnt be surprised if it was Nuggets vs Cavs.

[Deejay]

Regular season means nothing.

Seriously. A 7 game series /= 2 random scrimmages

What do you do when your team gets knocked out first round? LAKER HATE!

I'm cheering the Nuggets on, and hating on the Lakers. I'll admit it, I hate the Lakers. Even when they sucked, I still hated on them. When they got that Bullshit trade for Gasshole, I hated on them. Just like when the Spurs and Celtics made the Lakers cry, you hated on them.

[Kajii]

tbh, as boring as a lot of others find it, i somewhat like the plays the spurs run... yeah, i said it. only person from Spurs I actually hate is dirty ass Bruce Bowen. Duncan makes me laugh with his dumbass look on his face as he takes forever to shoot a free throw so he's ok.

I can't wait for Artest and Kobe to go at it. Artest probably going to talk more crap, I see a lot of technicals in that series.

For some reason, I have the feeling Artest is gunna hurt Kobe somehow.

Ignore Dimmauk, usually the opposite of what he says happens. Last week he said I had a low IQ because I don't have the Spurs getting to the western conference finals, and look what happened.

Seriously. A 7 game series /= 2 random scrimmages

Agreed, but season games usually give you a insight of matchup problems and the team's defense and offense effectiveness against one another.

The Cavs vs Lakers game showed a pretty big problem for the Cavs. The help defense by the bigs causes Lebron to not be able to finish at the rim. He will get his point but unless he scores half his points from the perimeter he's not going to be able to really get off and his field goal percentage is going to be off. Unless he grows another foot, his teammates are going to be the ones that need to beat the Lakers.

That said, if Kobe is the one assigned to guard Lebron it's just going to be a supporting cast vs supporting cast battle, which most likely the Lakers are going to win and a pretty boring Finals matchup at that.

[Kajii]

I was thinking the same exact thing. Anyone else see when they talked to him after yesterday's game. Something like he's playing LA/Kobe next, and if he's sticking to his claim that Roy was the toughest opponent he's ever had to defend.

Wish I could find it. -_-

[Stee]

Yeah he also said something like, Kobe has never scored 40 points on him....which he did when he was in Sacramento.

Artest's a idiot, the last thing they need is a reason for Kobe to go off. I wonder what Adleman is thinking about all of this.
