I heard it was very good game. Me myself, I am a Celtics fan, and they had a great win yesterday against Timberwolves. If anyone happened to watch the high lights, Paul Peirce had an awesome drive to the hoop, where he was flying towards the hoop backwards, got fouled, threw the ball up, and made it! I think it was definately a Top Play of the Week!

YOu guys can all have hope for your teams but obviously you are all wrong. The NETS are winning it this year, behind Jason Kidd and K-Martin. And it will be great.

Woooo finally another celtics fan! No one here believed me when i said they were comin out of the east in the beginning of the season, but just wait, you'll see.

Anyone esle dissapionted the clippers didnt make the playoffs? I was pullin for em at least. I think they should declare themselves "East LA" and join the eastern division where they can actualy do something, except when they match up against the celts of course

Celtics, how do ya like Strickland???

I loved that guy in Vancouver, but dumb coach didn't play him. okay, dn't think about the Grizz......

deep breather.......

okay, anyways, NBA......

In the East, Detroit and Charlotte are beating whoever gets in their way, and then are proceeding to get slaughtered by whoever comes out of the West.

I never liked Celtics, just a personal thing hehe

In the West, you best believe that Kings are winning it all. Can't wait 'till they whoop the Lakers

Well, I do not like Detroit or Charlotte. It is just a personal thing. Though considering that the Celtics have outplayed all the teams (except 76ers) in their division, throughout the season's games, it gives a very good chance to advance into the Championship Series. Though the time will tell.

P.S. Paul Pierce for MVP

isn't hoops great? didn't we have this dscussion earlier but yeah, the laker/blazer game was solid. damn i hate the lakers. they suck ding ding.

-nets? not enough size in the interior to match the west.
-lakers? see above. need to stay focused.
-kings? international players need to step up and stay up.
-celts? live by 3, die by 3. playoffs is a whole different monster.
-spurs? too damn slow.
-blazers? no "go to guy". is it bonzi? rasheed? pippen?
-mavs? where's nash? we need nash!
-pistons? stack need to put his team on his back. uh huh.

let it be known that my hoop knowledge is great.

Turbonium, I'm officially slapping you and your Celtics in the face



If you guys make it past the first round, see you there.

It will be a

Pierce for MVP? Not sure, but Wallace for Defensive Player of the Year for sure!!!

Stack will bring the house down when we go into Boston for the last two games of the series

The only player that I do not dislike on your team is Strickland hehe, other then that, I hate the Celtics hehehe

don,
the play i liked was at the end of regulation where rasheed set the screen for the screener, opening him up for the big 3 (which judging by the tempo o/the game, i knew was good) kobe pretty much blew it too. turnovers are a b!tch. mo cheeks is doing a pretty good job over there in portland.

Makaveli, I take your challenge, and I am slapping you right back. I do give credit to Pistons for beating the Nets last night, but who hasn't? As, I said, the time will tell. I only care if Celtics gets through, and the 76'ers get out. They have been a major pain in the Celts' *** all season long. I even had an opportunity to watch the 76'ers beat the Celts in the Fleet Center.
Though, just wait. There will be a lot of slapping around!

hmmm, speaking of 76ers..... who are they playing most likely in the first round? Could it be..... the Celtics? hahaha

I'm hoping that the Pistons will get to feast on Toronto or Indiana, as I wouldn't want to be playing Milwaukee no matter how much they sucked lately. Nothing scares me more in the east then the big three with George Karl..... hang on, nothing besides Mashburn's sweet fadeway...

There is a chance the 76'ers can play us in the first round, but according to today's standings, we are playing Charlotte. Though it is tougher for the Pistons and the Nets, because they still do not know whether they are playing the Pacers, the Raptors, or the Bucks.

t-mac, baby! the magic looks like they can hold their own in the east! i'm more of a player fan vs. a team fan, so i like the magic bc of mcgrady. but at one time i was a very loyal piston fan, when they had the "bad boys". now they have stack and wallace. daaaamn! magic/pistons, that's who i'm looking for in the east.

u don't like 'twan? hehe, all he did was bite that from mark jackson. even van excel used that one. maybe it's a playground thing, but jackson is the elder of the 3.
celts. the poor celts. i'm sorry, but the 3ball will not last in the playoffs as it becomes quite physical, therefore limiting your shot selection and ultimately your accuracy. one game maybe, two games you're lucky, 3 games God himself has chosen you to win.
-bucks. cassell is back in the line-up, but chemistry may be a problem. injuries may make the core team stronger or weaker. only time will tell. but hey, they've been losing so much lately, they have no reason mot to lay it all on the line each night in the playoffs.
-hornets. davis needs to pass more. he is not isaiah thomas. he cannot will the hornets thru the playoffs. give up the rock- he'll still get his numbers.
-magic. tmac needs to carry his team. more importantly, the shooters need to keep the other defenders occupied.
-76ers. always seem to be a shooter short. mckie is not really a shooting guard, but a above average shotting sf. is there an answer? they need an answer.
-pistons. just stay consistent and everything will fall into place.

i got more, but this is kinda long...
