Why for is this board so dead? ITS THE PLAYOFFS

ugh.

So now we have our choice of Spurs or Jazz out of the western conference. This is a choice? And Detroit is just fugly and the Cavs are essentially four guys and LeBron. What's a fan to do? I just can't work up enthusiasm for any of this at this stage.

Me neither. I didn't even bother watching the game yesterday.

The suspension abomination shows that as fucked up as MLB is, the other sports are worse.

Go Cavs!

OMG GO BLAZERS!

hahahaha Morbs' weak trolling is awesome

Who won?

America.

SECEDE

God the Cavs are awful. Why is LeBron playing so badly? Why do they always piss away their huge leads in the third quarter? Why are they playing like the least clutch team in the history of professional sports?

MIKE BROWN MUST GO

i'd be happy with a spurs-pistons finals as long as it means the spurs are defeated in a most humiliating fashion. idk what you guys would get stoked about, besides golden state there's nobody in the west worth rooting for, and besides detroit there's nobody in the east worth rooting for!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the exclamation points in the world won't make that statement right. But yeah, eff the Spurs.

well who were you hoping to see go all the way, dogg? especially in the east - i'd rather watch detroit than pretty much any other team in the conference.

I didn't realize you were talking about the playoffs only. My team didnt make the playoffs in the West, but they were fun to root for all year, and they improved a lot. Not to mention WINNING THE DRAFT LOTTERY. As for the Bucks, well, they had bad luck all year, plus their plan was pretty bad to begin with.

I am rooting for Detroit as well.

i wanted the spurs to get sunned ;o{

cankles original statement re spurs vs. detroit was basically otm. fuck the spurs! fuck em a lot! i am a detroit fan and i'm not saying they're playing their best game, but damn, fuck a spurs! wld be so great to see detroit win after 05, but you never know... i'm not counting any chickens even though i do love those boys with all my hearts.

CAVS: U GONNA GET SWEPT

well now, that was unexpected!!!
that game seemed really dirty at times, though! those boys be playin like punks.

The improbably named Utah Jazz win one. Uh, whoopee?

My thinking is/was Detroit in four and San Ant in six.
Then Detroit in six.

Yeah. I was around back when Maravich played for LSU, so I know why the Jazz are named the Jazz. But it still doesn't make any sense and never will. Rather like the LA Lakers, who moved there from Minnesota. People are so used to it they forget what an idiotic name it is for LA.

Heck, I was around back when Kareem was named Lew Alcindor and was a superstar on the UCLA all-freshman team... because frosh couldn't play on the varsity teams back then.

GO CAVS!! LEBRON IS THE GREATEST!!

And the Indians swept the Tigers. Life is good.

Spurs lead 3-1. No end to the thrills.*

*Technically speaking, what does not start cannot end.

i dont think anyone hates ginobili more than me, tho, and im a spurs fan

titchompin weirdo

That last picture is pretty awesome.

bowen's like a squirrel in the first pic, searching for the nuts

yes, hand full of balls instead, very nice

boozer's like 'nuh uh'

Well I was clearly wrong about the cavs. I only watched the first game in both of these series; is there a chance in hell utah or cleveland could win?

Er, mass food poisoning? Airplane crash? Gambling scandal?

there's always a chance for cleveland, with detroit's history of braeking heart all time in the playoffs. though i can't see them winning a finals against s.a.

i cant see pistons or cavs taking more than 1 game offa spurs

awww goin' to ot and i can't watch! i knew this was a bad week to skip bars!

grrrrrrrrr

omg that was as good a basketball game as i've ever seen

before these last two games i thought the pistons would've had a GRATE shot against the spurs, and i still think they would - they're better than they were in 05 imo and they took san antone to game 7 last time round.

otoh i don't think the cavs could take 1 out of 50 against the spurs. i dont like the way this looks!!!!!!!!

also; jesus christ @ lebron

cankles otm. Seriously LeBron was totally whoa.

LEBRON = GOD

wow that game.

Lebron was so great I had chills

speechless at that GODlike performance

That was amazing. Instant classic. Lebron finally realizing he is unstoppable. A few days ago, someone on the ESPN radio was wondering aloud if maybe this would be James' version of Jordan's series against the Cavs, a moment you can look back on after a player's been canonized and point to and say "there. that's the beginning of the Legend."
