Satans Hockey Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I don't know if any of you care or not but the playoffs are the only NBA basketball I really watch. I do these same type of threads for the AHL and ECHL playoffs so I figured I'd give it a shot and do it for the NBA this year. Is anyone watching at all? The first game of the San Antonio-Phoenix series was crazy. I hate San Antonio but that 3 pointer by Duncan with seconds remaining in the 1st OT was insane. I would like to see Phoenix or Dallas win it all. Philadelphia was the only road team to win game 1. * = if necessary All times listed are Eastern Standard Time Every series is a best of 7.

Devils Pride 26 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Normally I watch it. But since the Nets aren't in it, I really could care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I saw the Phoenix/San Antonio game. It was pretty amazing. The suns are the better team but the Spurs are just so smart, and well coached that they were able to steal victory from the jaws of defeat. Pretty amazing game.

Satans Hockey Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Anyone know why Houston has 4 home games when Utah was the higher seed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Anyone know why Houston has 4 home games when Utah was the higher seed? I figured out my own question. Utah was 54-28 and Houston was 55-27 so since Houston had a better record they received home court, the only thing I think is stupid is they still gave Utah the 4th seed and Houston the 5th seed. I think it should have just been the opposite way around than if they are going to give Houston home court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran12 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Go Sixers baby. I hope the sixers can keep playing the way they are, because the sixers actually might be able to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Right now it looks like San Antonio and the LA lakers look to be the best teams in the playoffs. Boston and Detroit has shown they can be beat so the winner I think this season will be either the Spurs or Lakers. The Lakers look to be the best just totally romping the Nuggets in the 1st round. The WC is the dominant conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMONPETEYD Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 why does the NBA start the 2nd rd before the 1st rd is complete. really stupid if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) They have a bracket set so they don't have to wait. I like it because you don't have to wait if one series goes 7 games and it allows for games every night.

Satans Hockey Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Even though the other 3 matchups for the semifinals are set don't forget there is a huge game 7 tomorrow between Boston and Atlanta. The home teams have won every game in that series and with the game being in Boston that means they are due to win but I'm going for Atlanta just cause Boston deserves to lose in everything.

Satans Hockey Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Conference Finals are starting tonight. Boston is facing Detroit in the East and Los Angeles is facing San Antonio in the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Detroit vs. LA in the NBA Finals this year. LA wins the Championship. It would be nice to see Boston/LA which were great Finals matchups in years past and have not met since 1986 when it was Bird vs. Magic. Boston cannot win on the road and think Detroit will win the ECF. LA has never lost to San Antonio in the WCF so LA should win this series with some ease.

SatansDevils Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 WOW! What a Game 1 between the Spurs and Lakers in the WCF! Spurs were up 65-45 on the Lakers more than halway thru the 3rd quarter around 5:45 left to go in the 3rd and the Lakers come from behind to win 89-85 to take Game 1 in LA. Lakers coach Phil Jackson is 40-0 when his teams win Game 1 and that is one sick stat. Lakers look to be back to those glory years and the three-peat years with Bryant. They look to be the best right now in these playoffs. Tough loss for the Spurs. In the ECF the Celtics took Game 1 over the Pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good game tonight in the ECF between the Pistons and Celtics. Celtics lose Game 2 at home 103-97 and the series is tied at 1-1 going to Detroit on Saturday for Game 3. This was the Celtics first loss at home in the playoffs. Now they must win at least a game in Detroit where the Celtics have not won on the road at all in these playoffs (0-6). This was a big win for the Pistons on the road.

SatansDevils Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Lakers blow out the Spurs in Game 2: 101-71. Lakers take the 2-0 series lead now going to SA for Games 3 and 4. Game 3 on Sunday @ 8:30 p.m. Lakers led this whole game wire to wire and it is the third time in their last four playoff games they have led wire to wire. They look to be the best team in these playoffs right now. The Spurs look tired and old and cannot keep up with the Lakers. It could be a short series here and a possible sweep by the Lakers if both teams play the way they are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Celtics Cruise in Motor City Boston finally grabs its first road win of the playoffs, and in a big way. Behind 22 points from Kevin Garnett, the Celtics crush Detroit 94-80 to take a 2-1 lead in the East finals. Game 4 will be in Detroit on Monday night.

SatansDevils Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Spurs made it a series so far by beating the Lakers 103-84 in Game 3 in SA. Game 4 will be in SA on Tuesday night. Lakers lead the best of seven 2-1. Tonight is Game 4 of the ECF between the Celtics and Pistons with the Celtics up 2-1 in the best of seven. Game 4 is in Detroit tonight.

SatansDevils Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Pistons won Game 4 last night 94-75 over the Celtics to even up the ECF series at 2-2. Game 5 will be in Boston on Wednesday night. Tonight is Game 4 of the WCF between the Lakers and the Spurs @ SA. Lakers lead that series 2-1 and look to bounce back to take a 3-1 series lead in the best of seven. The Spurs are looking to even up the series at 2-2 at home tonight. Game 5 will be in LA on Thursday night.

SatansDevils Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) There will be a new NBA Champion this season. The Lakers beat the Spurs 93-91 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the WCF where the Lakers can wrap it up in LA on Thursday night in Game 5. Lakers again led from beginning to end and almost let Game 4 slip away. They were up big by 14-points early and late up 9-points then they let the Spurs almost comeback in the end. Lakers go home for Game 5 where they have not lost in these playoffs this season at home (7-0) won 18 of their last 21 at home look to end the defending champion Spurs who look tired and old after Game 4. Bryant for sure is the MVP this season no doubt after this series. Lakers up 3-1 and have the Spurs on the ropes.

SatansDevils Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 In Boston, the Celtics win Game 5: 106-102 over the Pistons. Celtics up 3-2 now in the ECF series. Game 6 will be in Detroit where the Pistons must win or they go home. Celtics look to wrap up the ECF series with a win in Detroit. Game 6 will be on Friday.

SatansDevils Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The NBA is going to have a new Champion for sure this season and it looks like the Lakers. Lakers wrap up the series and the defending champion Spurs in 5-games by winning Game 5: 100-92 in LA. Lakers were down 17-points in the 1st half and cameback and won again to win the series 4-1. The Lakers will be going to their 29th NBA Finals and they will face the winner of the Celtics/Pistons series where the Celtics are up 3-2 with Game 6 in Detroit tomorrow night.
