NBA playoffs
Uploaded on April 29, 2011Ok, time to get away from politics and other touchy subjects for a bit. Anybody following the NBA playoffs and if so, who are you pulling for and what are you predicting? I've been a Lakers fan since the days of Magic, Jabar, Worthy, and company so my heart's in LA. I look for another Lakers/Celtics final. Regards.........

I couldn't care less about basketball. Besides, I'm too busy enjoying watching my Cleveland Indians own their division, and the American League! Go Tribe!
I grew up watching Kobe and Iverson, so I'm rooting for the Lakers. Plus, two straight three-peats for Kobe is just to cool to not root for, especially since my Pistons aren't even in the contest. And, I'm definitely anti-Lebron/anti-Heat, so rooting for the West helps that too.
I'm for anybody that Miami plays too. I don't think it was entirely proper how the three amigos wound up together there. Colin Cowherd was talking about the future of the Lakers the other day on ESPN radio, purely speculation, mind you, but very interesting just the same. Check this out. Best...........

007,
Don't be offended but with the overpaid brats that pretend to play the game of pro basketball and are walking billboards for the tattoo industry, and at least half of them should be in jail, I would rather go outside and watch the grass grow. It is much more exciting and I don't want my grandson having any of them as a role model. Right now Boo Weakley the hunting pro golfer is his idol and I want to keep it that way.
Sarge, you know me better than that, especially after the ragging you guys gave me over my Bone Collector T-shirt. hahah. I know, they are pretty much as you called it, but I'm afraid I'm a bit of a basketball junkie.
Got to pull for the hometown boys, the Thunder. The Lakers better watch out if they can manage to beat Mark Cuban's brat pack.
Basketball junkie here, too. Basketball and tennis are great sports for staying fit.
Would you rather your grandson look up to Tiger Woods or Kevin Durant?
gumby,
Neither, that isn't even a viable choice.
Durant makes it known that he reads his Bible everyday and as far as I know he doesn't have any visible tattoos.
Figured that sounded like your sort of guy, my mistake.
gumby,
I don't know enough about Durant to make a decision. I haven't read what his values are or how he conducts himself around all of his buddies. I hope that he walks the walk if he talks the talk. More power to him. My grandson is forbidden to even mention Tiger Woods, I have explained why he is a poor excuse for a human being. I was amazed how he used to play golf, and being a Veteran I admired his Father but he let everyone down even the memory of his Father. Now I pull for anyone against him even for lefty Phil who has gone through a bunch of trials the last couple years with his wife's cancer.
Half of them should be in jail? Why? Why such a quick decision that Durant isn't viable?
The NBA couldn't possibly be any more IRRELEVANT. No offense to those who watch it.
There are probably plent of folks out there who would say the same thing about hunting, steve.
Didn't expect to see the Lakers get spanked so badly. Phil Jackson can ride off in the sunset though, he's got more championship rings than fingers. He'll have to take his shoes off to wear 'em all.
Who do you like now, 007? Or is it baseball season now?
Anybody but Miami, I don't think the 3 stooges acted ethically in getting together there. Probably Dallas, I like Dirk and Cuban is a hoot to watch. Ever see him on "Shark Tank"? He's something. How about you?
Definitely the Thunder. They play right down the road from me. Although Russell Westbrook does deserve his new found reputation as a ballhog. Bad decisions everywhere!
Nope. Not gonna pull for Dallas. We Okies don't care much for teams south of the Red River. Plus Mark Cuban was very vocal in opposing a team at all in OKC. Boo.
The saying goes "We're more cultured than texas, yet with more Southern hospitality than Kansas."
Can't pull for the Heat either. A Dallas-Miami finals would definitely mean it's time for baseball season.
I won't lose any sleep over it either way but if OK or Memphis goes, that's fine too. Looks like the Celtics will be joining the Lakers at the retirement home soon.
I'm pulling for Dallas because I live in Texas, but I like the thunder too.
I am only 17 years old and I can assure you that I work MUCH harder in a single day than those overpaid, low-class, hat turned sideways, "gangster", "look at me" attitude sports figures. I agree with steve and sarge. After every single game those sports figures play, they still make the same amount of dirty money whether they played well (usually due to the performance drugs) or bad. It is MEANINGLESS. I would MUCH rather watch grass grow.
I for one, believe in being productive. I actually have a job that is relevant and constructive, and requires REAL work.
davycrockett, the only ones who say such about hunting are the animal rights, PETA whack jobs.
---longliner---
Go Mavs.
Take deep breaths longliner kiddo, there's a lot of really bad stuff in the world. Truly sad and evil acts committed everyday. Basketball is way down on the list.
Did you take your blood pressure medicine today?
Not to mention how you disparage the use of performance enhancing drugs in basketball(really?), and up at the very top of the thread you admit to being a baseball fan. Huh?
You actually have to be in shape to play basketball.
With all due respect, who are you calling "kiddo?" You're the one over here talking about basketball like a little toddler talks about NASCAR. Good grief! For your information, Stroke, no, I don't need blood pressure medication. I don't take any medication. Sounds like you could use some, though...
I like baseball. I am an Indians fan. I am willing to deal with the fact that some players cheat, because, well, they are cheaters. But I can assure you that no players for the Indians take drugs. And ever heard of water pills and all that stuff? Yeah, basketball. All basketball is is a bunch of big ego guys jumping from team to team, whoever will pay them the most for being TERRIBLE at their sport. Look at LeBron James.
Toddlers..... NASCAR.
guys jumping from team to team....(every sport does that.)
Not following your logic here longliner.
Anyhow,
It looks like the Mavs are gonna win the West. My hats off to 'em I guess. As much as I hate to do it, I'd definitely pull for them over the Heat or Bulls. They're a good bunch of veterans that ought to have a title I suppose. They're fun to watch.
Still, maybe the Thunder can steal one more in Dallas and bring back one more home game for the fans in OKC!
It was a comparison, there, Homebrew...
Mmmm....homebrew
Funny, funny. Have to admit, that was a good one...
Just watched a pretty spectacular comeback. Miami/Dallas finals... could be worse. I'm curious though, what is it about Lebron, Bosh, and Wade all being on the same team that has everyone so down on them? I can't figure it out. The big press conference and "victory celebration" was a little over the top, but in the sports world folks who are over the top are a dime a dozen. I don't follow the Heat, but I don't see what the problem is with the makeup of the team...
You can bet that Cleveland will be cheering on Dallas.
Yeah that Miami comeback was really something else. The Bulls couldn't stop granny from scoring in the last few minutes.
I think the reason most people don't like the Heat is the "victory celebration" you mentioned. People in our society love to see the mighty fall from the top. Is it right? I don't know.
I guess if they end up winning it all then maybe the ends do justify the means, but no one's gonna like it.
The Mavs showed some class in not celebrating. They have their eyes on a bigger prize.
I don't care for Miami because, while it was apparently legal, it seemed a bit underhanded to me how James and Bosch got there.
Congrats to the Mavs. I'm not sure I could have stomached seeing the Heat win. Don't think they can do it again next year, but we'll see.
Experience and free throws pulled the Mavs through this time.
The Heat will be a force to be reckoned with in the season to come. They'll want it pretty bad after coming this close.
How about the Mavs this year?
