2008 NBA Playoffs Conference Semi-Finals So Far
Just like the first round, the East still doesn’t have anything interesting. All the more entertaining games are in the West where the basketball just feels like it’s on a different level. Three of the four series going on are tied up although I wanted both the Lakers and Hornets to win their respective Game 4’s.
2008 NBA Playoffs 1st Round
Dallas Mavericks v. New Orleans Hornets
Has anyone ever seen Dallas exhibit any kind of sportsmanship when losing? I certainly haven’t in the last few years and that’s why I’ve always hated the Mavericks and the people on that team. They just give off a very thuggish vibe. Most of the time they resort to something like the crap that happened last night when Jason Kidd committed a dangerous Flagrant 2 foul on Janerro Pargo of the Hornets. It was right for him to get ejected, something like that could’ve caused serious injury since Pargo got flipped and was heading down head first.
NBA Playoffs 2007 Update
Man, the Spurs v. Suns series is brutal! And Nash seems to be taking the brunt of it. There is definitely a lot of animosity between these two teams. For me, this series has cast a very dark shadow on the Spurs. Bowen is just despicable. What Horry did at the end of Game 4 was completely unnecessary! Now I’m rooting for the Suns to go all the way. I especially want them to win the next game. That would be the sweetest revenge but it’s going to be very difficult with both Stoudemire and Diaw out (unfair suspensions, but rules are rules). I was rooting for Golden State but yesterday’s loss was so disappointing.
Hooray for Golden State
I didn’t want to say too much about this because I didn’t want to jinx anything but.. HAHAHAHA Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitski, you suck! GS all the way! This was the best series and most fun to watch so far. Man, those 3-pointers are like daggers! Who wants to watch the Eastern conference play slow basketball and miss shots? BORING. Like the East even has a chance at the championship. Tell me which team in the East can keep up with 120 point games or 30 point quarters.
Okay, this post is a little incoherent but I just wanted to chime in on how the Warriors rule for beating Dallas. Congrats to Golden State and Nellie.
Detroit Pistons Can Still Win
6/24/05 EDIT: Well, the Pistons lost. They had a good chance though. Hamilton just wasn’t hitting the shots. Rasheed got into foul trouble. And I don’t even want to start with Lindey Hunter. He needs to get traded or waived IMMEDIATELY. They broke apart after their 9-0 run. Sigh.. pretty entertaining finals though.
I HATE Robert Horry. This guy single handedly beat the Pistons in Game 5. The first 3 quarters didn’t even matter. This guy went on a tear. MAN I hate that guy.
