Hoops Thread

I'm skipping the Cavs game, and I'm a huge Cavs fan. By the way, when the Cavs sweep the Wiz, will they play the winner of the Raptors-Nets series? There was some confusion about this in an earlier post. Can someone link to a definitive answer to this question? I thought that it was a real bracket, and that there was not any re-shuffling based on first-round outcomes. Is that correct?

There were several links to the proper bracket in that thread. Cavs play the #3/#6 winner (Nets or Raptors.) MY made a mistake, hard though it is to believe.

Sweet. I'm going to pencil them into the conference finals. That last regular season game was crucial.

I still say that the Magics as good a shot as any #8 ever has. Detroit has had theirs, and David "Mr." Stern is eager to get super nice guy and very good player Dwight Howard more air time and Grant Hill overdue love. They tried to get them their last night, but the 'Gics couldn't convert the frees. We'll see. Remember where you heard it first (a la Chicago and Cleveland's seeding fates).

Ed, I disagree on both things. The Pistons are definitely beatable, but Orlando's not ready yet. Plus, the NBA doesn't want Orlando to win. That team is green and would get blown out in the second round. Either second round series would be better basketball, and has better media angles (Chicago and Detroit are great long-time rivals plus the whole Ben "Judas" Wallace chestnut/Miami and Detroit would be a rematch of the last two conference finals.)

Speaking of the current game: Kobe is very very good.

I hate to bring the attention out West (yknow, where the champion will inevitably hail from) but I think the NBA inteligentsia is way to dismissive of the warriors. I may be a big warriors fan (and happiest in 13 years..when i was four) so my commentary is certainly colored. But in the last two seasons, especially this season, the mavs have been the warriors bitch. Now I'm not saying the Dubs are gonna win the series (as much as I'd like that) but it's unlikely) they'll certainly scare them. THe warriors can shut down nowitizki with quicker, nagging defenders like Stephen Jackson and make the Mavs guards win the game, they can also play with an uptempo pace that the mavs aren't too comfortable palying at, oh yeah, Don Nelson built the mavs offense...so watch out for the dubs

I swear, I'm not also posting as "matt z." So two of us believe in the Warriors! We need more!

Yeah...Baron Davis...good luck with that.

"Yeah...Baron Davis...good luck with that."

if by "good luck with that" you mean, 16-5 with him back in the lineup, then yeah, I think our luck will be pretty good. Among the entire espn commentariat, it seems that only bill simmons has recognized the past dominence of the mavs by the warriors, and that nellie is not only incredibly wiley but also built the mavs offense and nowitzski as a player. My big worry is stephen jackson and bidnris getting into foul trouble early and stackhouse and the mavs guards going off on us when we shut down nowitzski.

Yes, we may have too many steves, but not enough warriors believers

"it seems that only bill simmons has recognized the past dominence of the mavs by the warriors"

Whatever. Trash talk. Dallas Morning News all over this, small ball, nellie mismatch wizard, mavs better watch out. DMN has 7 sportswriters predicting:two say Mavs in 5;five say Mavs in 6. Nobody says it will be easy. I don't predict nothing. Mavs could sweep or get swept.

"Speaking of the current game: Kobe is very very good."

Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! 32 1st half points;11 2nd half points. Blew lead in last two minutes.

Ok. I will predict Phoenix sweeps LA and Kobe will get a lot of points and be called a stud superstar. Flash.

Mavs in four. Five at the outside.

And that is the reason Nowitzki is twice the player Bryant is. He only takes two more shots a game than J Howard; only four more than Terry. He just makes 50 percent of his shots so he is the leading scorer. But letting his teammates get shots and attention makes for team defense and cohesion.

Ball-hogs like Bryant demand headlines and then his teammates wonder why they should bother; since all victories are belong to Kobe Kobe Kobe.

Nowitzki's lack of ego is his worst enemy among everybody but Maverick fans and, well, the actual results.

We have seen what Kobe is after Shaq left. Nothing.

Another Warriors fan (and MY reader) here. Hopefully we can push the Mavs to 6 or 7 games. I was in high school last time we had a playoff game.

6 minutes in the 4th;near tie in SA. Duncan misses a layup, on the other end Denver gets like 5 offensive rebounds. Always liked Najera when he played for Dallas. Man, I am just not seeing it. SA does not scare me.

Now Phoenix is scarey. Could be their year. I sure don't hate Steve Nash, and he & Nowitzki been in reach of a ring for 5+ years. I wish Steve was in the other conference.

Bob - San Antonio doesn't seem to be scaring Denver either.

Give Petey his due. I could see why Denver could give SA (or anyone else) fits, but I believed in the SA mystique enough that I wasn't willing to offer even a timid suggestion that Denver could win. I still assume that SA will win the series--still believe in the mystique, I guess--but I'm a lot less certain about it.

Of the 100 things that have gone wrong with the NBA since '98, I would put the prime of the Yao + T-Mac Rockets not overlapping with the Shaq + Kobe Lakers very near the top of the list. That is more or less exactly the type of rivalry that is really lacking right now.

Mavs in four. Five at the outside.

Final answer, sir? Anyone else love the Warriors unis? Between them and the Nuggs baby blues, I think we've found the key to road team playoff success...
