Thank God that hellish season is over. What a fucking disappointment. To be on the doorstep of a championship to a lottery team in an offseason. It still hurts. Another year of leading the league in assists for Nash though even with a slowed down tempo and shitty teammates. I'm looking forward to seeing Carter off this team and seeing what kind of disappointment we select in the draft.

On to the playoff's. As long as the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, or Spurs don't win it all I'll be content. Prediction time:

EAST

Bulls in 4
Heat in 6
Celtics in 6
Magic in 5

WEST

Grizzlies in 6
Lakers in 4
Blazers in 6
Thunder in 7

Yeah i'm disappointed Denver couldn't get the Mavs in the first round. I don't have any faith in Durant and Westbrook though, it's Perkins making life difficult for the Denver offense that is troublesome. It will still be a great series to watch as will Mavs/Portland.

Why no faith in KD or Russ? I understand being skeptical of Russ since he's hot and cold, but I expect KD to have a great series.

Even if Afflalo's back and 100%, I think KD is ready to go off this year.

I actually would love if that realy happens, last year we had a pretty tough matchup in the first round against OKC. So its nice we are facing the hornets, means we can rest bynum a little bit.
And Dallas Portland is going to be such a tough series, im sure those guys will be tired by the time one of them faces The Lakers in the second round.
And i could see OKC beating the spurs in the second round.

The starters outside of Horford will continue to play like they don't give a shit and we will lose the series in 4 possibly 5.


Can we just fast forward to the offseason?

Yea i see what you're saying, Hornets shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs tho because they're gonna make it very boring to watch. Everyone else at least has a decent matchup.

There are some awesome match ups this playoff, i mean knicks boston is going to be fun to watch, dallas portland is going to be fun, denver okc is going to be fun. And the second round in the east is going to be fun as hell.
Anyhow i like our chansea against OKC and the spurs. And i like our chanses against the bulls in the finals if we face them.

Son, I am disappoint. I'm the nicest of rox-age, ya don't want me to sick my version of Barnes on you.

Phil is a boss. HE DON'T GIVE A FUCK STERN. Imagine what its like to be Phil (outside of jeanie). You think he fucks with Riley in his spare time? Asks him if he wants to borrow a ring or something.

The Boston bench and Nenad Krstic beat the Knicks bench feat. 20 minutes of Amare...during which, naturally, the Knicks either led or were within 4 points or less.

Knicks will win in 6. Why? Because I say so. You'll see, GAF. You'll all see.

You guys underestimate how much Chris Paul is gonna tear Fisher's asshole a new one

Fisher is gonna get raped, yeah. So what else is new?



And also, for all those saying that the Lakers must be happy not having to play the Blazers in the first round... What about the Blazers being happy about it?

You don't think they're jumping for joy that they get the Mavs instead?

It never helped the Jazz when Deron went off because BoozIR was such a puddy. Thrillsap/Deron/Okur weren't enough by themselves, and the Hornets don't even have that good of combo at this point.

Magic over Pacers

Worst bracket ever?

nyet! Dude has looked wayyy better now than he did earlier in the season. He's gained a bit of that first step back and is driving more. He said so himself, actually admitted to taking it easy on the knee because he was afraid but said lately he's been feeling great.

We might see some of that magic in the playoffs. Actually, I'm pretty sure we will.

We might, but the pieces around him won't get it done.

Don't worry about it. How many times have the Mavs laid eggs? And look, they had a great second half of basketball yesterday. The Hornets can at least do that too. Paul will lead the way.

That would be ideal. The sooner the Lakers are crying about not having enough pieces (lol) in the offseason, the better it is for all of us.
