2008 NBA Playoffs!

No,

Jazz won the last game away at Houston to clinch.

Cmon Jazz, 3-0 today.

If we wein the next two at home, Jazz are 39-4 at home for the season and will have the best record since the begin on January.

How about that Korver trade, hey people??

Looks like I was the only one to pick them getting game 3 (wish I put money on it), game 4 very close.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

u's cant beat boston at home lol

Quiet dammit, don't ruin my moment! Tigers & Hawks both win yesterday, great day.

 

[Ridders]

how bout Horford giving it to Pierce at the end of the game. the kid might regret it in Game 4

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Al's a winner, he's going to come out of this series with his head high no matter what happens. Celtics should destroy us these next two games but the attitude is what's been missing and if the Hawks play with that same focus, we may not win but we won't lose by 20 points either.

Suns finally play some deacent ball....

Anyone game enough to put their dosh on the 76's to beat Detroit overall?

Looking forward to seeing the Jazz play a deacent team TBH. Lets be honest.... Houston weren't going to go far without Yao... the fact they made the finals is nothing short of increadible IMO...
Jazz are quite a darkhorse, although after the opening few games... LA has been on fire.

Pistons in 6

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Yeah HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if we lose in 6, to take 2 games off the Celtics is a tremendous achievement. Do I dare to dream? We're younger, more athletic and, well that's about it. GO HAWKS!

 

[Ridders]

great game for Joe, altho how good as Josh Smith been this series. Bit of a coming out party for the young man, 7 blocked shots, what a beast. I agree with u on Horford, his college experience is really paying off when it counts.

 

[Ridders]

Lakers bringing out the broomsticks with a 107-101 win over the nuggets. Good all-round performance throughout the series, first second round appearance since letting the Big Diesel go.

Next round will be alot harder tho, either Utah or the Rockets will be tough match-ups. How disappointing are the nuggets tho, considering how many pieces they have, its shameful to see how little a contest they put up.

 

[Panthers_God]

Good work Hawks.

Hope Utah can clinch tmr

 

[El Coconuto]

Man Utah got wiped today. Lakers suddenly look like a million dollars to win the next round regardless of who they play.

 

[Ridders]

Alston's making a huge difference for the rockets, shame he wasn't there from Game 1

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Bit upset Suns didn't get through cause Shaq's my favourite all time player (well, after Nique). Hopefully Chris Paul & his Hornets aren't completely out of their depth against a much MUCH more experienced Spurs outfit. Should be a good series though.

 

[Ridders]

good win by the hawks, taking it to a game 7. While i still think Boston will take the series, the hawks have done such a great job of providing a competitive series. Hopefully Marvin Williams will be sweet for Game 7, he was good while he was on the court

 

[Special K]

Gee I hope the Hawks pull one out in game 7.

Great game to watch. I tipped them as a team to watch this year and when they got Bibby I was sure they could make a lower end play off push. Shakey times but they got there and are now in game 7 against boston. Hopefully they can keep their core for next year and shop Bibby around the deadline if not look to add more pieces. They deserve some luck after some of those draft picks.


(Sheldon Williams... wtf)

 

[Ridders]

hornets getting game 1 over the spurs 101-82. David West went of with 30 points, his playoff career high. Wouldn't look too much into it as Duncan had an absolute shocker, 5 points (from 1 of 9 shooting) and only 3 rebounds .

 

[Stonecutter]

The Spurs Hornets series could be a changing of the guard. I think the Hornets will unfortunately be to youthful and unpredictable for the Spurs but it will go to 6-7 games as the Spurs always find ways to win.

The Celtics Hawks series has been great to watch on TV. I sure hope they can create one of the biggest upsets in history. Utah and Lakers is match-up of match-ups.

Deron vs Fisher, Kobe vs Brewer, Odom vs AK47, Boozer vs Radmanovic (man I wish Bynum was playing) and Gasol vs Okur

On starting lineups it's say it's 2.5 to Utah and 2.5 to the Lakers.

(Sheldon Williams... wtf)

As a Hawks fan we've had plenty of luck:

1. The number 2 pick in a draft with 2 franchise point guards with Bogut going first so they select.....Marvin Williams. Inexcusable. He's a nice player but really.....
2. The number 5 pick in a weak draft but had two abhorrent selections in the top 3 (Bargnani & Morrison) so they still plenty to choose from (not least of whom was Rondo or Roy or even Rudy Gay). Could have even shopped the pick instead of settling for a mediocre player.
3. The biggest stroke of luck - landed the number 3 pick in 2007 (which unfortunately for the Suns was top 3 protected) so they finally draft sensibly in Horford.

Series has just ended, blown out in game 7 which wasn't surprising. But the fact we took them to 7 was very pleasing.

 

[El Coconuto]

Good effort by the Hawks. Anyone see Williams' take down on Rondo? Pretty ruthless. I was surprised when Horford when and gave him a good-job chest bump after it. A little cheap if you ask me.

 

[Ridders]

Lakers taking game two 120-110 to take a 2-0 lead with the series going to Utah. I'm happy with the the two wins, but with Utah's home record, its two wins the lakers needed to have. Boozer's been pretty quiet in both games, i'm looking for him to go off at home
