Subject: NBA Playoffs 2006

Written By: nally on 05/23/06 at 12:13 pm

I didn't see a thread about this year's NBA playoffs, so I figured I'd start one. Last night I was watching the Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs game on TV, which was followed by the L.A. Clippers-Phoenix Suns game...both of which were deciding games. I wanted the Clippers to win that one (since they're my local team, after the Lakers), but they lost by 20 (127-107). :-\\ Mavericks beat the Spurs in overtime, 119-111.

So the Eastern Conference Finals will consist of the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons; and the Western Conference Finals will consist of the Mavs and the Suns.

So what teams, if any, are you guys rooting for? Since my local teams are out of it, I don't much care one way or the other. :-\\

I am for the Pheonix Suns, in support of my fellow Canadian Steve Nash O0

For some reason, they stopped pounding the ball inside to punish the Suns and foul out all of the big players, and then they stopped playing defense and let all the little Suns get layups.  Terrible, it was like they were demoralized :P

I think Steve Nash is a good playmaker, but I wish he'd ATTEMPT to play decent defense.  That is the main reason many in the media did not feel he deserved the MVP outright.

Well...Miami "Heat"ed up the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals last night, defeating the Detroit Pistons 91-86. Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals is tonight: Phoenix at Dallas. I think I'll root for Phoenix.

I just watched the Pistons beat the Heat by a few points. What was the score, 92-88 or something?

thought so. Btw, is anyone else keeping up with the scores?

Scores aren't too important, but the Heat beat the Pistons by something like 15 points last night to go up in the series 2-1...which is the only important number these days :)

Pheonix beat Dallas last night, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't remember either, but Dallas is now in the NBA Finals...against the Miami Heat. In the long run, I don't care one way or the other who wins, but if I had to root for a team, it would be Miami.

Mainly the Lakers. The Pistons are my second most hated team. I only cheer for them, if they play the Lakers.

I, on the other hand, like the Lakers...since they're my local team.

As for this year's NBA Finals, it doesn't matter to me who wins. :-\\

Since there's already a poll thread, I guess I'll lock this one up. :-\\
