Yeah... you're not a homer.

I'll take Toronto or Chicago in the East.
Dallas or San Antonio in the West.

Man we are getting scary at the right time.

Our last five wins are by - 18 ( AT Detroit), 31 (New Jersey), 29 (New York), 19 (Charlotte) and 33 (AT Washington).

Three playoff teams and two were away as well.

And would you mind telling me who your last loss was to?

LeBron James beat the Bulls?

His team did.

Had to be LeBron James because it certainly wasn't Sasha Pavlovic :duckrun:

Actualy it was Sasha.

He had six 3's in that game

Wanna talk more trash?

Actually, I let my record speak for itself buddy. 66-14 my friend.

And would you mind telling me who your last loss was to?

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/8271/kingnp2.gif

Toronto actually.

Wanna tell me who #2 seed is?

LeBron James is a cheater, hey gunny, remember two years ago, bulls vs wizards, game 6 playoffs, gilbert sunk that fader that silenced chicago. Wizards woulda been in a good position to make a run this year, but the losses of Gilbert and Caron kills us, when it rains it pours in washington.

if washington beats toronto, we get caron back, we can take cleveland in 7 then Detroit in 7 then the Mavericks in 7 :)

Finals

Cleveland vs Dallas - :)) Cleveland in 7

a little biased?

How the hell is Lebron James a cheater?

caron & gilbert are both out for the year, neither will be back for the playoffs.

Kobe scored 50 tonight......... again.

I think the reason Kobe gets so many points is because he does it all. LA Kobes.

Wanna know somethin funny?

If the Cavs , Bulls and Raptors all finish with the same record at the end of the season the Cavs get the 2nd seed.

woo

I think the reason Kobe gets so many points is because he does it all. LA Kobes.

He has to. Besides Lamar Odom, what other reliable scoring threat do the Lakers have?

And for the people who keep freaking calling me biased just shut up! My goodness if this was the Titans in the playoffs ud be doing the same thing.

Sorry that im going for MY TEAM to win the NBA Finals. I think you would be too.

Realisticly do I see the Cavs going all the way? no...

Is it possible? Yes..

I think positive not negitive

Wanna know somethin funny?

If the Cavs , Bulls and Raptors all finish with the same record at the end of the season the Cavs get the 2nd seed.

woo

no they don't.

Bulls have 2nd seed we own the tiebreaker over Cavs and Raptors (and detroit and miami)

I was watching the Cavs/Hawks game the other day and our announcer said if we all finish with the same record the Cavs win the tiebreaker.

I am pretty sure that is wrong, but we will see.

http://cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/7164305

Actually if seems if there is a tie Toronto get the #2 seed (they are division winner) and then it seems Chicago will go #3 (will revert back to two way tie system)

From the Cavs.com forum

"Chicago would have to go 0-1
We would have to go 2-0 or 1-1
Toronto would have to go 2-0

If that happens we automatically get the 2 seed. If we go 2-0, we get it and if we go 1-1 we still get it because the 3 teams all end up with 49 wins, a 3 way tie, but between the 3 teams head to head records we have the most wins.

Chicago plays @ NJ
Cavs play @ Phi and home to Mil
Toronto plays @ Det then home to PHI"

Toronto is a division winner, they will get #2 seed.

Wouldnt it go to head to head wins first tho?

Nope.

MORE THAN TWO TEAMS TIED

1. If applicable, division champions must be determined first.

Interesting bunch of Homers on Cavs.com

Lolllll

Lebron cheated against washington last year, twice, the game winner when he walked and the game winner when he carried, and bulluck, Caron could be back 2nd Round or 3rd Round....Gilbert is done for the season tho. but Antonio Daniels is a tru point guard, like 16.2 ppg and 10.4 apg these last 10 games. AD, Stevenson, Butler, Jamison, Thomas, not that bad of a squad, we could at least take Toronto.

Bitter fans...

This is traveling...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHGmgZkdK8A

Come on man he diddnt travle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhbM6uuCt74
Ok, the second one wasn't travelling, but this one definately is. He grabbed the ball then planted both feet. He then moves both feet, jumps, and lands before taking the shot. I'd say that's pretty much the definition of traveling.

he didn't just walk, he moonwalked.

Even if he did travel who cares. If the refs are too blind to see it then thats on them.

Im pretty sure everyone here would be ok with a player on their team traveling and scoring the game winning shot and not getting caught.

Who cares. We won thats all that matters.

Were doing it again too. Miami is gone in the first round.

maybe he isnt a cheater, maybe the better title is, not good enough to win a game fairly. LeBron doesnt want the ball in the clutch, and he said that, Gilbert Arenas on the other hand, is the most clutch player in the NBA, before he went down with that injury of course.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgrmUy8PVA0

watch his hands, he does this when he knows its in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17w7h-_rC9E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMLiqsSjS2Y

and the foul ^^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxI8MA1Ggyw

for you gunny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laydODN6xVk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHa3eUpkn5o

60 POINTS!!! Lets see Lebron do that..
theyre was also another highlight i wanted to show you guys but i couldnt find it, where arenas puts 54 up against the suns, but the game tieing 3 pt play... he is amazing.

Lebron dosent need to score 60 points to proove hes good. Hes unselfish and dosent take every single shot like Gilbert and Kobe do.

He knows he could take it inside on anyone in the NBA and no one would stop him. Everyone knows that.

Gilbert may be clutch but when it all comes down to it LeBron is still playing , Gilbert is on the bench.

Lebron for the win.

Kobe - 22.9 shots per game
Arenas - 20.9 spg
LeBron - 20.9 spg

And if you look at the other players on all 3 teams you'll see that we have the most even SPG per player.

Lebron
Sasha
Drew
Z
Larry

All of them take equal shots

This just made my day.....

Vince Young is the man

I thought he liked the ROCKETS!


Oh and I forgot about this one. Whoever says Lendale White isent a fat boy you might wanna rethink that.

Heres the full post

And if you look at the other players on all 3 teams you'll see that we have the most even SPG per player.

Lebron
Sasha
Drew
Z
Larry

All of them take equal shots

Lebron averages 27.5 ppg if im not correct, the next highest scorer on the cavs is like 14.9, Gilbert averages 28-29, the next highest scorers both have around 20, jamison and caron, and gunny you just disproved your point by saying gilbert takes just as many shots as lebron, and still gets more points.

The only point I was making is that LeBron is just as much of a shooter than Kobe and Gilbert.

Looking at assists both LeBron and Gilbert average 6 per game and Kobe 5.4

Playoff seeding scenario.

Chi Town Bulls All The Way

no

my bad gunny, thought you typed LeBron is unselfish.

LeBron is un-clutch. i can gurantee he will never win a championship.

LeBron is un-clutch. i can gurantee he will never win a championship.

Dude... he's 22 for God's sake.

Hes younger then half of the rookies in the NBA this year. LOL

People who hate LeBron just hate the fact that he is good.

I mean i'm not a big Lebron fan, but the criticism he gets is pretty much unwarranted. The man is freaing three years older than I am, and has averaged almost 27 points per game over his first four seasons. Yeah he's not as "clutch" as people would like him to be, but that will come in time. The fact of the matter is that he's always being compared to Jordan, and Mike didn't win his first title until his seventh season, and that was with Scottie. Now, you can talk about his supporting cast and how good (or bad) it is, but until he gets a legit bona fide second option the Cavs aren't going to go anywhere. Just like the Bulls didn't get over the hump without Pippen.

:cry:

Just my opinion on the matter... i'm not exactly an expert on the NBA, and I don't follow the Cavs so it's sort of an outsider looking in. I'm sure Ryan could tell me more about it because he actually follows the team. All I know is that the Grizzlies have won two straight baby! :ha:

Im just as much as a homer for the Cavs then I am for the Bucks and Titans. So everything I will say will include Lebron and championships. lol

The Rockets just clocked the Suns at full strength. The Final 4 in the West is going to be worth the price of admission.

Cavs beat the Rockets a few weeks ago

Cavs beat the Rockets a few weeks ago

so?

Wizards will beat toronto in 7

then they will beat chicago in 7

then they will beat detroit in 7

then they will beat Dallas in 7

You should at least qualify that win with it was Yao's first game back. A nice win. But hardly a true test of what the Rockets are capable of.

nor an indication of who is better.

Wizards will beat toronto in 7

then they will beat chicago in 7

then they will beat detroit in 7

then they will beat Dallas in 7

Wheres Miami or Cleveland :doh:

Wheres Miami or Cleveland :doh:
His scenario has Detroit beating whoever wins that series ;)

The Suns will crumble in the playoffs at some point. Dantoni plays his starters ridiculous minutes EVERY night & it cost him very nicely last year when Dallas just wore them down entirely in the WCF. The guy is an idiot. This quote proves it :ha:

"Even though the Suns have the second seed wrapped up, they are going for more. Coach Mike D'Antoni will not sit players as Phoenix tries to tie a franchise record for wins tonight." -Arizona Republic

dawg golden state bout to sweep dallas...

dawg golden state bout to sweep dallas...

:eh?: :biglaugh: put down the blunt my friend.

Gunny....

Were winning and the Bulls are getting cracked.

Im loving this day man..

:) have fun with Miami.

i wouldnt be smiling ryan, your cavs gotta go against the wizards, crippled they might be, they still have a grudge with the cavs from last seasons playoffs, im sure the only thing theyre thinking is

Cavaleirs vs Wizards Championship Series

they dont even care about round 2, its all about sweeping the cavs.

bulls came back

Bulls won't win now I think.

We can take Miami though. Just be harder.

that means the wizards get cleveland..........yummy

this shakes alot up in the east,,,,

my scenario

Detroit vs Orlando (DET in 5)

Chicago vs Miami (CHI in 7)

New Jersey vs Toronto (NJ in 6)

Washington vs Cleveland (WAS in 7)

---------------------------------
Round 2

Detroit vs Chicago (DET in 7)

Washington vs New Jersey (WAS in 6)

-----------------------------------------
Round 3

Detroit vs Washington (DET in 5)
----------------------------------------

Im so happy right now.

I hate Miami and we dont have to play them... thank god al mighty.

Good luck Bulls

Dude Washington is not going anywhere without Arenas im sorry. I think Gunny can even agree with me on that one.

:werd:

If they get Butler back and healthy they'd have an outside chance but the Cavs will take it in 5, probably even 4.

We'll beat Miami in 5

The Wizards would be alright if they were playing without Caron or Gil, but not without both

if they had both they would be contenders for the title, without both, they still play better defense, gil isnt entirely replaceable but we have a true point guard in antonio daniels, Caron might be back 1st round, most likely 2nd round, and we play the cavs tight every game, the game against indiana is really going to help the wizards, i think they learned how to close out games, and jamison is definiatly capable of putting up 40-50 when he needs too.

I'd love to see the Wizards win it all but ...I looked up their odds : winning the East 75 to 1, winning the playoffs 200 to 1.

what was george masons odds to go to the final 4 2 seasons ago?

probably better then the wiz

probably not, they had to face 3 or 4 (forgot which it was) previous national championship teams to get theyre, the wizards have to go against the one maned team cavs and then either the bulls or the Nets...if they get a few good breaks, it wouldnt be THAT hard.

how do you like this ryan...

what was george masons odds to go to the final 4 2 seasons ago?

George Mason type runs are rare. And they were fully healthy.

but the point is, cinderella stories do happen..

Dallas & Chicago in the Finals.

That has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. LMFAO :ha:

i try...

Here are my bold predictions.

EAST

(1) Detroit vs. (8) Orlando
I've got one word for the Magic. Birth Control.
Pick: Pistons in 5.

(2) Cleveland vs. (7) Washington
I saw the Wiz in the 80's. Michael Jackson and Diana Ross Sucked. MJ still has a worthless Beatles collection tho', and that gets the Wizards a win.
Pick: Cavaliers in 5

(3) Toronto vs. (6) New Jersey
At some point, the Canadian blokes will give up and trade baskets for beer. That's just how it is going to go down.
Pick: Nets in 7.

(4) Miami vs. (5) Chicago
The Bulls will rent Kazaam. It's gonna be that ugly.
Pick: Miami in 5

WEST
(1) Dallas vs. (8) Golden State
Golden State sucks so bad, some burglars broke into the arena, and left money for 'em. It won't help.
Pick: Mavericks in 7.

(2) Phoenix vs. (7) LA Lakers
I thought of the Lakers once before, when I was at the zoo.
Pick: Suns in 6

(3) San Antonio vs. (6) Denver
I know what sign Denver was born under, and it said "red light district."
Pick: Spurs in 5

(5) Utah vs. (4) Houston
The jazz have slipped into something more comfotable, and it's called a coma.
Pick: Rockets in 6

ROUND 2
EAST
(1) Detroit vs. (4) Miami
Shaq is so old, he still owes Moses a dollar. But he can rattle the rim.
Pick: Miami in 6

(2) Cleveland vs. (6) New Jersey
Cleveland's light at the end of the tunnel, is New Jersey.
Pick: Cleveland in 6

WEST
(1) Dallas vs. (4) Houston
T-Mac eats Dirk alive. He makes him miss. It's the perfect matchup for the Rockets, and houston's only weakness in this matchup is backcourt speed, which they have a lot more than 2 years ago. Dallas is done. Pick: Rockets in 6.

(2) Phoenix vs. (3) San Antonio
The Suns will have enough tempo to wipe the floor with the Spurs.
Pick: Suns in 5

CONFERENCE FINALS
EAST
(4) Miami vs. (2) Cleveland
This is a David Sterm dream come true. But Lebron's star falls a little short. He won't go the distance this year, because Miami is just too good. Better coaching too.
Pick: Miami in 6

WEST
(4) Houston vs. (2) Phoenix
The Rockets proved they could beat the Suns at full strength. They jumped the hurdle. It will go seven, and all seven games will be blow outs. This is a tuff matchup for the Rockets, but the Suns proved to me they don't rebound, I mean, they don't rebound at all. The Rockets do. And that wins it.
Pick: Rockets in 7

NBA FINALS
(4) Houston vs. (4) Miami
Houston owns Shaq. Plain and simple. Miami finally shows signs of dying. And they do. T-mac is mvp. It's on him. And he shoulders the burden.
Pick: Rockets in 6.

Nice Predictions. Although id like to see a T-Mac vs LeBron showdown.

Im afraid of Miami...

For this day. I am a Bulls fan..

I got my MJ jersey out.

I may have underestimated Ben Wallace's impact. We'll see how it plays out. Bulls ran Miami today. But that was at home.

http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/35.gif

Props to Chi town

Wait just a minute here.... Miami is closing in fast... down by 4

1 point game!

WOW What a game!

SHot by Heinrich MISS rebound CHI.

FOUL.

HOLY crap lol

makes first FT
makes second FT

Timeout Miami...

Houston beating Dallas in 6? Yeah right.

F&^% Miami.

Shaq is already crying about calls.

F&^% Miami.

Shaq is already crying about calls.

Let's just hope that Pat Riley doesn't start calling out officials like Phil Jackson used to do in the playoffs. Then Shaq will get every call

this is so funny, im 100% sure you got all those jokes off this internet site, ill try to get a link.

Yao pulls the cherry pick out of the playbook, and the Rockets come back in the 2nd half. I will give the Jazz credit for being up 9, and playing extremely physical. I thought they were a soft team, but they were actually pretty physical. But the Rockets win. Tomorrow the best games will be on. Me luv the nba playoffs!

Tomorrow my Cavs are on!

YAY

Yo if you guys actually think about it. We have the best chance to get in the ECF.

I mean come on..

we got the Wizards... Thats not even a contest.. no Gilbert , no Caron , no chance.

Then we either have the Nets , Magic or Bulls I believe....

Looks like it could be the Nets...

We have it made babyy :))

You play:

- Wizards
- Toronto/Nets
- Chicago/Miami/Detroit/Orlando

And don't underestimate New Jersey.

I kno.. The Nets arnt a team to f with. But we did destroy them a week ago. Wasent even a contest. Vinsanity had mostly all their points

We have a HUGE advantage in all of our matchups cuz we got home court.

Playoffs are a different ball game. What you did a week ago is nothing.

We destroyed them a week ago and they beat us a week later.

We destroyed them a week ago and they beat us a week later.

Even tho I know what you meant its still funny the way you said it.

So you beat them last week and they beat you a week later? So there gonna beat you next weekend? lol

ryan,,, your looking in the wrong places, the cavs might have a easy road, but i got news for you, the cavs arent that great of a team, they have no depth, only about 2 guys that can score for you both are inconsistent, they have no step up man, if im picking from a non biased standpoint out of that bracket, ive got the Nets, they are so much deeper then the cavs, toronto and the wizards, they have Jason Kidd, and Vince Carter who can step up in the clutch, Richard Jefferson a former all-star, the cavs might have an easy road, but so does every other team in that bracket...

I kno.. The Nets arnt a team to f with. But we did destroy them a week ago. Wasent even a contest. Vinsanity had mostly all their points

the nets are possibly the hottest team in the nba right now, like i said in my post up there ^^ id pick them from a non biased standpoint to come out of taht portion of the bracket..

OH PUT IT IN THE BOOKS.

Charles Barkley just friggin said something good about the Cavs.

Unbelievable.

"Is it gonna be a sweep?"

"Get out da broom"

WOO


Cavs are gonna kill the Wiz today. No doubt in my mind.

Anyone watching this game?

They have the score wrong LOL

They gave us and the Wizards 2 extra points....

Too easy im going bak to bed

Dang.. Larry stepped up to the plate today.

dude, they are playing a cripeled wizards team without its 2 leading scorers, the 2nd steals leader, there leader in asists, and there 2nd leading rebounder....if the wizards take 2 games you should be ashamed.

You told me eariler that they were going to win in 7. Now your telling me we should have no problem with them..

sorry. But I knew we would have no problem with them. But its not there fault. With Arenas and Butler they win at least 3 games. But I still think we win.


ANyways.

Can you say Baron Davis?

Golden State might beat Dallas... are you kiddin me?

This is crazy

Well we played absolutely pathetic tonight.

How come Baron Davis isent mentioned when you think of "Top NBA Players"

From what I seen tonight hes more clutch then LeBron times 2

I have no clue as to why Avery went small ball against Nelson which played right into their cards. Horrible move.

It's only one game, but GS looks good. They destroyed houston late in the season too. They appear to be the real deal. And they played a relatively low scoring game tonight and still won.

That Howard dunk was sick tho'.

Avery please start Dampier @ the 5 next game.

I dont think Cuban was too happy tonight..

I cant believe that happened.

I think Dampier should start too. You hate to put the game on Dampier shoulders, but I feel like if a team goes small, you just have to take the best matchup they give you, and hammer them inside. Tall wins in this league over small. There's no doubt about it. Yao has the same problem with Pheonix, but we let Yao play, and half the time we kill them on the boards. Sometimes the Suns do run us, but again, I think tall always wins in the end.

Dampier is an nba player. He's not slow. He can do this.

TNT is reporting that Kirilenko had a nervous breakdown. And I'm not kidding.

Houston's defense continues its domination into the playoffs. Lookout for us. :spud:

I change my predictions

Cavs vs Spurs

^ Its gonna happen.

I change my predictions

Cavs vs Nuggets

^ Its gonna happen.

neither will happen

We will all soon find out

Cavs vs. Nuggets is a very real possibility.

CAVS -> They wont have to face any hard teams until the conference finals. And it will prolly be the Bulls. It will be a fight, but i think the Cavs will make it.

Nuggets -> With the Lakers looking like they can maybe beat the Suns, the Mavs getting dominated by the Warriors, and the Jazz and Rockets sort of even......i see the Nuggets being the best team left.

In the End.....Cavs win it all in 7 games!

dude i dont remember any bad teams making the playoffs, even the Magic are decent, plus the cavs will have to face the hottest team in basketball (Nets) then either a tuff 50 win bulls team or a detroit team with all the playoff expierience in the world...

Nets arnt anything.

Were going to the Eastern Confrence Finals.. not doubt about it.

We might lose a game to Washington

then maybe 2 games to the Nets..

but were going to make it.

dont count your chickens before they hatch, washington is getting caron back in game 3, and weve been playing great defense the last couple of games, and i think the nets can definatly win at least 3 games...

Were the number 1 offensive rebounding team in the NBA. Thats what gives us an advantage in every series. Thats why I think we have it made. There should be no reason that we dont make it to the Finals

I would have to say Toronto is going to win the Nets-Toronto matchup. And the Cavs almost beat the Pistons last year.....and will this year again if thats who they match up against. The Bulls will be a challenge, but Lebron is going to step it up (he played his best basketball ever last year in playoffs.....he will most likely again).

his best basketball ever was cheating against the wizards?

count the steps...

i know

Bitter fan.

If the refs dont call it its on them. Not every foul , traveling , reach in , is going to be called.

We beat ya fair and square , and it was a good series.

This time its gonna be easy as VY beatin the Texans

fair and square, like you said the call was not made, which makes me hate refs, even more. on a game winner, you should notice 4 extra steps, thats just horrible work, they should all loose there jobs, if your an accountant and you miss count something by 4% thats still a huge deal, that accountant would be fired.

Bulls destroy Miami.

No surprise.

I agree

game is about to start

my prediction

Wizards 101
Cavaliers 94

LeBron goes down in 2nd quarter with ankle injury, out 5-10 days.

13-11 Washington half way through the 1st LeBron has only had 1 touch, no points, no boards, no assists, jsut a touch for a bout 5 seconds then he passed it back...

Qtr 1 over and its all knotted up (thats the way the series will be after game 2) Lebron has been virtually non-existent, just 5 pts off a cheap lay up and the foul and a fading jumper. hes shooting the ball 2-5 or 2-6, i think his ankle is still bothering him, but hes a baby, he cries about everything, he fouled haywood and he started crying to the ref, :cry: thats why he missed practice yesterday.

Post 777 wierd, im christian tho so coool :smile:

LeBron James crys :cry: after he gets called for an offensive foul, he makes me laugh

AAHAHHAHAHA Drew Gooden is on fire man.

HAHA owned

dude, no offense to you, but drew gooden is the definition of a queer, first he talks to his hands!!! then while he was walking to the line it showed him do some impression of "spirit fingers" i was cracking up much like the whole wizards bench was mocking him.

wouldnt it be wierd if my projected score comes true?

ya.

dam i almsot felt bad for a second when AJ was on the ground

I must say this.

For a Wizards team without there 2 best players they are still darn good competition.

OH baby Z came to play today nice shot!

oh my god that block by King was absolutly sick!

This series is over. Bring on the Nets or Raptors

Looks like we win AGAIN.

2-0

hah

wheres Caron?

This series is over. Bring on the Nets or Raptors

Series doesn't matter until a home team loses a game.

Cleveland are not built to compete in this playoffs. I swear this is a team that should be so much better than they play. My WizKids, without our two best players, still game with y'all. We're missing our scrappiest defender/scorer and our best playmaker, and still we can hang with you guys for 3 quarters, two games in a row. Unacceptable for a Cleveland team that thinks they're the ****. They STILL don't have the playoff competitive spirit to compete against Detroit (and yes, they're still the team to beat in the East). And unfortunately,


I shudder to think about how bad the East is year after year compared to the West. It really is becoming embarrassing how inept this conference is year after year. However, Toronto and Chicago look to be young teams who will make a difference for a few years, Raptors especially. All they need is some experience.

I really dont think the score matters. So what if you hung with us through out the game. Golden State beat Dallas the first game.. anyone think that would happen? Some teams play with more passion then others and for you guy to not have your 2 best players you came into the first 2 games with a lot of heart and didn't wanna just give up and admit defeat.

The margin of victory doesn't matter. The W is what matters.

Is it bad that im more concerned over what uni's were gonna wear on the road then the actual game itself?

Hopefully its these.

Sometimes, the passion of the team doesn't overshadow that fact that you guys have ALL your stars and pieces, and we're missing our two biggest. If you actually watched out games, we play the way we are right now most of the time. But the fact remains, we have no reliable big men, and too many guards. Our only reliable player is Jamison, with Hayes and Daniels doing their part (both bench players forced to start), with some really pourous forwards trying to be better than they are.


Actually, Golden State is a very exciting team, which plays with a lot of scrap and flash, something the Cavs and a lot of other East teams know nothing about. So no, it's wasn't surpsing; they actually HAVE their best players in Davis and Richardson.


My point was that Cleveland is still showing that they have no killer instinct in the playoffs. Cavs have the talent to be the very best in the East, so why aren't they? There competitiveness is dwarfed by their talent, which is a real shame. I've always had a problem with them, because teams with all the pieces on paper seem to always disappoint.

Don't worry, Cleveland will fail in the playoffs again this year. Bunch of bums.

Your wrong.

Your wrong about the Cavs
Your wrong about Ginn

Golden State beat Dallas the first game.. anyone think that would happen?

actually i did, i still think golden state will win the series... 6-1 against dallas last 7 games. cant argue with that...

This is playoff basketball my friend, not the regular season. It's a whole different ball game. The crybabys from Golden State will not beat Dallas.

those cry babies from golden state have the 2nd leading scoring offense in the NBA and the only reason they arent up 2-0 right now is because Jackson and Davis got ejected last night off bs calls.

Well when you continue to curse out & mock the refs, they will T you up. Plain & simple. Obviously the crybabys don't get that.

Look when the Warriors lose their confidence, they cry & get blown out.

Also did you happen to see Jax on his way to the locker room? Yeah that was real professional. Don't get me wrong, I love watching the NBA, but this guy is a prime example of why the NBA has a negative image. His mouth got so bad his teammate tried to put a towel in front of his face. That crap is embarassing IMO.

Stephen Jackson is pretty much disliked by all fans around the league; no one can stand this dude's mouth...

i was talking about the personall fouls that were given to them, that eventually led to the technical fouls, in games like that, refs need to let the players play..

Come on now, were playing by the Dwayne Wade rules nowadays.

Kobe Bryant is taking every Laker shot right now... this is painful to watch

So what.

They won diddnt they....

Kwame stepped up same with Odem

Hey the Kobetts beat the Solars. Nice to see.

I really don't see why people are dogging Kobe for taking all these shots. His team is AWFUL. I mean, AWFUL. When Smush Parker is a STARTING guard, then you're in a bad bad shape. That team basically EXPECTS Kobe to take all those shots (half the time the team is standing around, too ready to dish it off to Kobe, which forces terrible shots.)

be kind to Smush (great name).

However if I were in Kobe's shoes, I'd do the same.

Playoffs = Whatever it takes to win.

3 - 0 BABY!

f*** off Miami.

lmfao ur gonna get warned

Well Dirk is an absolute no show again. You maybe think im joking or saying this out of frustration right now, but if we end up losing in round 1, I'd seriously think about trading him for KG this offseason.

GO Warriors! I want the upset so bad.....and Im a Cav's fan.

Cavs baby :)

yaea mdfan, wizards all the way, im goning to game 3 today !!!!

How'd that experience go?

best game ive been to in my life, even tho the wizards lost, when they made that comeback, the phone booth was shaking, it was maddness, even when i go to titans games it wasnt near as much exitement as this. Plus Gilbert is on the cover of NBA LIVE 08, how could i not be excited.

how could i not be excited.

you're down 3 - 0.

Well at least they keep the game close.

you're down 3 - 0.
take away any teams 2 best players and there gonna struggle, not even wizards fans expect the wizards to get to the championship this year, we were down 17 at the half and we came back and outscored cleveland 21-4 in the 3rd quarter eventually tieing the game, it was so electric in the phone booth.

If you guys lose are you at least going to root for us to win the Championship?

Unless you come back and beast us in 4 straight games

Congrats to the Bulls and their fans.


Later

Go Bulls. About time.

If you guys lose are you at least going to root for us to win the Championship?

Unless you come back and beast us in 4 straight games

id wear a peyton manning uniform before i ever wanted the cavs to win.

ey, Ryan, check out my new sig, and oh yea, The running for the cover was between Lebron, the baby, and Gilbert, the league knows true stars when they see them, Gilbert 1 Lebron 1, scores tied now buddy.

Who cares about the cover of a video game?

Lebron will probably be on the BETTER BASKETBALL GAME

ESPN NBA 2K8

PAYECE.

Oh btw. YOUR A SOREEEEEEEEE LOSER!!!!!

Cavs win in a sweep

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bulls vs Cavs - Eastern Confrence Finals

dude, if the cavs blow a 17 pt lead against the Wizards without there top two scorers, then there is no way theyl beat New Jersey or Toronto, i say

Bulls vs Nets Eastern Conference Finals
Bulls in 6
Bulls vs Suns NBA Finals
Suns in 6

keep talkin trash. thats all it is , is jealousy.

idc if u say we cant do it. just addin to the list of people we WILL PROOVE WRONG in the playoffs

, i hope your not taking it personall tho, i talk trash, its like my trade mark.

lol all in good fun man. Thats what sports is all about

Cavs win the series 4-0 sweep, no big deal, see cleveland next year, good season.............good bye washington, it was fun.

good series. never gave up

Congrats to the Cavs!!

Cavs STILL look weak. I expected at most we would win one game. Congrats on sweeping a banged up team.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Nets (assuming they win) push the Cavs to 7, maybe even win it.

I have no real rooting interest in the NBA Playoffs, but I am wishing for a Suns-Bulls finals. That would be some sick basketball. Actually, anything other than San Antonio- Detroit will do.

I think they could take it to 7. But we got too many mismatches against them.

We should win in 6 or 7

Rockets bump off the Jazz. Off to Utah for game 6.

I think they could take it to 7. But we got too many mismatches against them.

We should win in 6 or 7

All you have to do is hit Vince Carter in the mouth. I can almost guarantee he'll be jacking up twenty footers for the rest of the game.

I think they could take it to 7. But we got too many mismatches against them.

Mismatches? You got one good player.

hmmm

Z and Gooden amoung NBA's best in rebounding.

Andy number 1 in drawing charges.

LeBron and Sasha taking it to the hole.

Larry and Donyell knocking down 3's

I say we have a pretty GOOD amount of players.

Gooden - 8.5 rpg

Big Z - 7.7 rpg

Sasha - 9.0 ppg

Marshall - 35% from 3

Hughes - 33% from 3

And don't get me started on Sideshow Bob, he's a flopper.

They are not good.

Go on NBA.com. Go to leaders. Look at team rebounds per game.

Look at Andy's drawn charges.

Were a good team. We beat you guys pretty darn easily at the end of the season.

team rebounds is a different story.

and again Sideshow Bob is a flopper, everyone knows it.

the whole 4 points you beat us by? wow.

beat a healthy team and come talk to me.

K...

We'll see whos better in the ECF

Get there first.

Im tired of people callin us losers. And callin us the Cleveland LeBrons. We'll see who's this loser sooner or later.

Washington was nothing.

Bring on some competition.

Nets

not hard to beat a team without their 2 top players.

could say the same for you. Wade wasent 100%

He played didn't he?

could say the same for you. Wade wasent 100%
Wade is two players? I knew he he was good. but.....

first off, wade was still on the court, he still played awful, Caron and Gilbert never even got a chance, LeBaby and the queers i mean cavs woulda went down 4-1 with Hibachi and tough juice, you know it...

Wade didn't play terrible either.

he definatly wasnt the same dwayne wade, i dont know what television they get in australia but over in USA, everyone is criticising D-wade for his attrocious play in the 4th quarter, not a dominant force.

Nice to see 41 show up in the 4th quarter.

he definatly wasnt the same dwayne wade, i dont know what television they get in australia but over in USA, everyone is criticising D-wade for his attrocious play in the 4th quarter, not a dominant force.

doesn't mean he played terrible.

Dirk rose up from the ashes. I got to give him credit. Series was all but over until Dirk stepped up. Now this gets interesting because Dirk knows what he has to do.

warriors will still win...

Just like the Wizards right?

Just like the Wizards right?


Why is it so hard to grasp that the Warriors have the Mavs on the ropes right now? It's been a superb series...

Just like the Wizards right?
last i checked the wizards were crawling into the playoffs, the mavs have the "MVP" a title that duck doesnt even deserve, hes soft, and the mavs cant run with teams like the wizards, warriors, and suns, face it, they are offensive elites, and the Mavs blew there engine out in the 82 game preseason....

Of course we can't run with the Wizards, there at home.

And the Suns? Well my friend, we beat them 4-2 in the WCF last year & then split with them this past season 2-2. I wouldn't exactly call that "unable to run with the solars"

This GS & Dallas series is great basketball though, very exciting & I enjoy it.

So long Dallas.

:doh:

:doh:

doh is right.

the Dallas Mannings.

Man, what a collapse by the mavericks. But this said, the Warriors are good. They were the hottest team coming into the playoffs. They are the hottest team still left in it. They are playing with passion. And playing as well as the Suns. Rowdy crowd too. What this does is open the door for the Jazz or Rockets, and the winner of Spurs and Suns will be in good shape. The West just got a lot easier.

Well I hope to see Garnett in Dallas next year.

Thats bs. All you guys talk your crap about my Cavs saying we have no one besides LeBron and now I hear you say you need ANOTHER star player on that team?

That is utter bs.

Cavs > Mavs

Were championship bound if we get past CHI or DET

what are you dribbling about?

Cavs has no one besides LeBron. Everyone that knows basketball knows it.

he was talking about trading Dirk for KG.

and well done on being captain obvious. You just forgot the Nets.

what are you dribbling about?

Cavs has no one besides LeBrown. Everyone that knows basketball knows it.

he was talking about trading Dirk for KG.

and well done on being captain obvious. You just forgot the Nets.

I said that meaning they are no competition and were going to beat either team that we need to face.

Its gonna end up being us and you or Detroit.

And you can keep saying it over and over. WE are not a one man team.

We lost 1 game last season without LeBron

And btw I hope you made a spelling error when you said "LeBrown" cuz if you did mean to type that then thats messed up and racist

lol didn't notice LeBrown, I will have to change that.

Anyway don't get too ****y, the Nets won't be easy.

Im not trying to be ****y I just know we are a good team.

And I dont know why you dont see that.

Bulluck4dmvp thought his Mavs were so great.. SO GREAT.. and they lose to the Warriors.

GS is a really good team tho

I do think the Cavs are a good team, but they are a one man team.

Lebron scores anywhere around 20 to 29 points a game.

We as a team average around 90 to 95 points a game.

Who score the rest?

Our coach?

We play defense.

Defense wins championships.

We are the best offensive rebounding team in the NBA

Same can be said for most teams remaining in the playoffs.

But my point is you claim were a 1 man team.

Were not.

The Lakers are the perfect example of a 1 man team.

If LeBron wanted to make the team a 1 man team hed not be as unselfish and take over the game himself.

There stats are not all that dissimilar to make a claim that LeBron is less selfish than Kobe.

The Cavs have no one else on their team just like the Lakers.

Well..

You may think Big Z , Gooden , Hughes , Pavs , Snow , Varejao , Marshall , Damon , Boobie Gibson , and Ira are nobodies..

but together they got us the 2nd seed in the playoffs and a second straight 50 win season.

they are role players.

and chicago got you the 2nd seed.

Because you are in the East my friend. Whether you want to believe it or not Cleveland would not survive in the West. I admit, Dallas lost to a good team who was very hot coming into playoffs, plain & simple. Plus, it didn't help Dirk didn't show up & personally i believe Dirk is done here & he will be traded this summer whether it be for Garnett or maybe even the # 2 pick in the draft to get Durant. Howard, Stack & Diop were the only 3 players that played with heart & hustle in every game. I think Avery will let Howard have an even more expanded role next season & he showed me in this series that he's ready for star status. It is what it is though, time to move on.
