My Pistons lead Orlando 1-0

Tayshaun Prince came through late and the Pistons made their free throws to seal it.

Let's hear it people, if an NBA fan - who are you rooting for?

this years playoffs should be interesting.

NJ Chief Fan · 04-22-2007, 03:07 PM

Pistons/Spurs 2...this time we're taking back the gold!!

kcxiv · 04-22-2007, 03:22 PM

Well, Lakers gave it all they got, outside of Kobe and Lamar, they have nothing.

One question, though. Why would you want the season to be done by Christmas? I like the fact that the NBA playoffs are starting right now. Hell, there is nothing else worth a crap to watch. Baseball? Boring. Golf? Super boring. NASCAR? I would rather have a root canal. Hockey? Mildly entertaining but still not that big of a deal to me.

The worst team in the playoffs in the west would be a top 3 in the east....the numbers aren't the problem it's the horrid management of all the eastern teams.

I hope the Suns make it since that team is great to watch maybe some more teams will start playing that way.

I like the Suns, too. But there is no way they get past Dallas or San Antonio. Both those teams play good defense and Phoenix is not great at defense.

I'll take the Bulls in the East...

...and the Suns in the West, i'm a big Steve Nash fan.

Living if Phoenix the Suns are the only team I really come to embrace in the local market. I did enjoy the D-Backs in '01 beating the Yankmees.

As for the Suns not playing D While they don't play the grind it out defensive heavy games that the East is known for. They do play D pretty well. If your team is trying to score most possessions with less than 7 seconds ticking of the shot clock, this is going to give the other team many more possessions, than if they were playing a team trying to shorten the game by taking shots with less than 7 seconds left on the shot clock. They want the other team to take a lot of shots because when they miss it usually leads to an easy dunk by Marion or Amaré or Barbosa. OK layup or jump shot from Barbosa.

I'd rather watch a game where both teams score in the 90's or higher than a 74-70 game.

chiefs4me · 04-22-2007, 07:32 PM

I'm taking the Mavs...Go Mavs!!

kcxiv · 04-22-2007, 09:37 PM

Mav's are losing! Golden State playing well.

Silock · 04-22-2007, 09:41 PM

Baron is hot.

kcxiv · 04-22-2007, 10:15 PM

Game over, Mav's get upset by the 8th seeded GS.

**Lzen** · 04-27-2007, 08:56 PM

Bulls up 3-0 on the defending champ. Fantastic!

The Suns are really fun to watch. But what the heck happened last night? I thought they were gonna win that game and I find out today that they lost it.

Dallas has their hands full is GS. I still don't think GS can hang with Dallas for an entire game, though.
