[Basketball]Playoffs just started.

Last nights games are in :)

Some suprising results too :)


NBA Scores: Sixers 95, Pistons 75 (F)

http://www.nba.com/games/20080425/DETPHI/boxscore.html?rss=true

Description: The 76ers added one more surprise victory in a season stuffed with them. The Sixers ran all over the court in a dominating 95-75 victory Friday night over the Pistons to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round series.

Sixers ain't giving up either :D


NBA Scores: Mavericks 97, Hornets 87 (F)

Description: Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry came up big on both ends of the court, pulling Dallas right back into this first-round series with a 97-87 victory in Game 3 on Friday night.

What a performance from Dirk! 32/19


NBA Scores: Spurs 115, Suns 99 (F)

http://www.nba.com/games/20080425/SASPHX/boxscore.html?rss=true

Description: The San Antonio-Phoenix series was supposed to be a spectacular first-round matchup. Instead, it's become a Spurs smackdown.


Spurs to sweep the Suns? :D


Discuss/Mock/Enjoy etc :)
 
100-97 (was 100-97 till a Cav's 3 ball) with 5.4 on the clock, Wizards ball. Timeout. Set up the play and the 3 point OT shot doesn't drop :(

Shame as they had battled back from 15 down :o
 
I'd love to see the Sixers and the Hawks win their respective series - would really make a mess of things :)


Alas I fear it is too late for my Rockets to do any damage to Utah :(
 
And like I thought Avery Johnson has been giving his marching orders by Mark Cuban :)

New head coach for the Mavs I guess - who gets on well with Kidd?

What happens when Bruce Bowen is on Kobe? Him and Raja Bell are the only guys who can truely guard him, I have all confidence in the Spurs.
 
Couldn't believe Cavaliers lost last night to Wizards, last 3 sec Butler clinched it, fair play to him tho he was brilliant.

Come on Cavaliers!

here's my take - i was in new york to watch the Knicks v Hawks @ MSG a few weeks back and on the sunday i caught Lakers v Spurs at the hotel.

Kobe and Odom ripped the spurs apart, bowen is a great defender but Kobe won't be stopped when he wants to turn it up. The spurs were without Manu so they suffered on offence obviously but the game was a complete blowout. I think this Laker team is better than you think and on the up, and the spurs squad is getting older....i hope they meet in the conf. final coz it will be an awesome series but i do fancy the Lakers as i think Kobe has a genuine supporting cast to at least get them to the Finals.

think i will stay up tonight to watch game 6 of Boston/Atlanta ...hopefully we can take them out on their own court to go through now. Atlanta are a dangerous team so it doesn't surprise me to see them take a game or 2 at home ...like i said i saw JJ and Josh Smith live @ MSG ...those 2 can play!!! thrown in Horford and Childress and Bibby and you have a nice young team on the up.
 
Wow no one's been posting in here :(

Celtic went to town on the Hawks (99 - 65)!! Big D combined with shots that would not fall left Atlanta shooting 22% for the first half :o

Round 2 well under way now:


East:

Pistons/Magic: - late in game 4 now - Magic looking to make it 2 - 2

Celtics/Cavaliers: 2 - 0

LeBron can't score with the Celtics swarming him and his teammates are up to their usual 'doing sweet FA' trick - LeBron really should be the MVP tbh - without him the team would be nothing.


West:

Hornets/Spurs: 2 - 1

Hornets ripped the Spurs several new ones on their homecourt to go 2 - 0 up. San Antonio managed to edge the Hornets out on the return home. Ginobli as a starter went off for 31 points as did Tony Parker!!

Lakers/Jazz: 2 - 1

Lakers crushed the Jazz at the Staples centre and really locked down Boozer. Back at home though and the Jazz pulled off a narrow victory.


Judging from whats been played thus far I'm going with:

West Finals - Hornets vs Lakers
East Finals - Celtics vs Pistons

Finals - Hornets vs Celtics

:)

nah CP3 without a doubt, he was robbed for MVP.

only because Kobe should have received the MVP in previous seasons and didn't did he get it this year.

Lakers - Celtics final
