Huge result, what the ****? They literaly have no C's on their team but just want it more than LA. The Lakers will win in LA but Denver has to be licking their lips now. They are probably a lot mentally stronger than LA right now and would be fired up to get it up them.

 

[Hoggy31]

Haven't watched any of the Lakers/Rockets games, how is Chuck Hayes doing?

 

[Anil]

i am not surprised at all at houston pushing the lakers, l.a might well win game 7(and that's by no means a sure thing) but the nuggets look like they have a real chance to reach the nba finals, whoever be their opponent...

 

[Anil]

and it's l.a vs denver...

How the Chauncey trade went down

Ugh, imagine what a Tinsley-Iverson backcourt would've looked like. Shame that the Grizzlies nixed on the Camby-Marc Gasol trade last minutes. The current lineup with Marc would be more or less complete.

 

[Jono]

Boston are gone!

 

[Johnners]

 

[Ausage]

Woo hoo, go Magic

 

[Anil]

if boston keeps their core intact, they have a couple more deep runs in them...as it is, they would have been in the conf finals had garnett played, i believe the magic will lose against the cavs...

 

[duffer]

If Garnett was healthy they would've given the Cavs hell. If they can stay injury free next season they'll still be a contender. They'll still have their main pieces there next season and have a history of drafting pretty well. It isn't over for them.

 

[Hoggy31]

Yes, should mean a few less wiggas walking around in Celtics apparel.

 

[Pratters]

It has been damn stupid and ignorant of me to miss the awesome playoffs this year so far. My youngest brother was telling me all about it, the Boston-Chicago series, two days back. Any way, I am going to closely follow it now and catch as much as I can.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Ugh, Celtics lost. Goodbye exciting post-season.

 

[Anil]

so it's either cavs vs nuggets or cavs vs lakers...

 

[duffer]

Ouch, watching the draft lottery now. The Kings and Wizards got hosed big time.

Grizzlies, Thunder and Clippers are in the top three. The order is coming up pretty soon.

EDIT: ****ing Clippers get Griffin. Major comedown.

 

[Hoggy31]

They'll probably trade his draft rights to the Kings for Ike Diogu.

 

[duffer]

Well they're the team who drafted Mike Olowokandi #1 in a draft with Vince, Antwan Jamison, Dirk and Bibby so you never know. They really need to trade some of their excess forwards (Randolph, Camby or Kaman) for more picks plus depth because their core is fantastic with Gordon, Thornton and now Griffin there.

They aggressively tried to trade Baron last deadline but couldn't move him and his extra 4 years of max salary. His lazy chucker ass will probably keep them mediocre for a few years at least.

This Denver-LA game is off the chain as well. Going to love this series.

 

[Sanz]

It will be awesome If Nuggets win today. Leading 94-89 with 5 minutes in the game.

 

[duffer]

George Karl putting his worst passer in the game to inbounds it with 10 seconds to go?

**** off ****.

 

[Fusion]

Lakers win! If this is the way the whole series will go, it will be an epic. Kobe put on a clinic. So did Melo. Loving it.
