Anyone else ready for this to start Saturday? Unfortunately my team is having a rough year. Still in there though. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif My team is the Blazers. Right now looks like they'll face the Lakers first round. Should be good. They always have good games with the Lakers.

I kinda lost a lot of my love for the NBA after that greedy stint they pulled where they were bitching about low contracts and in turn it cut out more than half the season.....ridiculous http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

I used to love the Lakers, but as long as that egotistical little a'hole Kobe Bryant is there, I'll be rooting for your Blazers on that one http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//wink.gif

http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif We can cheer them on together Dawn. Really hope we can beat the Lakers. Would be so great to see.

I'd love to see it too....just to rub it into that punk kid's face. Loser has the gaul to tell Shaq the Laker's are HIS team....what a crock http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

hehehe Blazers Rule, and Lakers drool! In Your Face! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif (hate that kid, too...I'm under the impression that quite a few of the Laker players have major http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//EGO.gif trips.)

I agree with you Dawn. Hated Shaq since I lived in Florida. That was they talked about on the news. Remember once they were showing some flooding that had occured when they had to point that Shaq's house was right down the street. Like that matters!!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif Was so annoying. Want to see the Lakers get their ass kicked!!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

I don't hate Shaq...the kid I'm referring to is that insolent little ass clown Kobe Bryant...wicked LOSER! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

I haven't payed too much attention to whos playing on the east coast. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif I'll have look into that. I've heard that Philly looks really good for the east.

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

Yeah, they're the top team, but I have a fealing they're going to falter in the playoffs. I'm thinking either New York or Miami to come out of the east. Haven't been paying attention much all year, but based on prior success, that's who I'd have to go with http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

Rasheed Wallace needs an attitude adjustment. Game is still going, but, if we lose, I'm sure it'll be because of his attitude.....http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//mad.gif

Game 2 is in LA thursday night. We have game 3 here in Portland on Sunday. All I know is that I wanted someone to get in a good hit to Kobe's bruised ribs. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif Might have helped things some to take him out of the game. Hopefully the Blazers play better Thursday.

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

You're right.....I guess that was wishful thinking! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif Blazers need to start taking more inside shots! They always go for the 3 pointers and very rarely make it!

Except Damon Stoudamire...he got that kinda range, but the big guys shouldn't be tryin' that stuff http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

I agree on the Kobe thing....I wish Arvydas Sabonis would give him another good throw down like he did in a previous game this season http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//biggrin.gif %^&* him up!, $%^$ him up!!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

Maybe we can see that in thursday's game Roem. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif I'll have to tape it and watch it when I get home. Just really hope the BLazers can kick some ass in that game.

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

I know....Kobe needs a whoopin' and a little failure to bring him back down to earth.

Another team I hope drowns are the Pacers....don't know why, but I've always disliked that team. Iverson better step up next game http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//hammer.gif

Hate to see them lose 3 straight and end their season already. At least they have home court advantage on Sunday.

From what I've heard about things, one of the refs seems to have it in for Rasheed. Keeps provoking him and then hitting him with technicals. Was discussing this today at work. Think they need to get some new refs for the game on Sunday. Shouldn't have a ref out there like that. It's been the same ref in both games.

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

If the Blazers get beat by the Lakers tomorrow, I'll put my bet on San Antonio....

Just checked the brackets....Utah's up 2-1 in the series http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif Now I guess we wait for the winner of Phoenix/Sacramento for the next Laker opponent who will hopefully dethrone the ego juggernaut http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//laugh.gif

Jazzmyn http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//witchbroom.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//vampire.gif

I know...for the longest time, Dallas has always been one of the lowly teams of the league. Then again, so was Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Sacramento, Toronto....basically just about every team in the playoffs at this point except SA and LA http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

I'm still in denial, I'm routing for the Suns!!!! I've been saying wait till next year for the last 15 years. One day they will win it all!

Phoenix got a good squad....they're backcourt is golden, now all they need is a solid big guy in the middle and they'll be all set....don't think Chris Dudley's gonna cut it for a title http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smilies//tongue.gif

"Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive."

Here's a bit of news from the Blazers front. On Tuesday, they fired their coach, Mike Dunleavy! I, personally, think that was a VERY smart move. The guy had no balls. He was "scared" of his players. He was their doormat! I just wonder who they plan on bringing in to replace him???

I hear Magic Johnson's looking to go back into coaching...lol. I think he better ditch that thought and just run an organization :p

With all the talent that Blazers team has, it's rediculous for them to lose so easily...they need some solid direction, so they better bring in someone top notch!

I had missed hearing about that. Sorry to see him go. I thought he was a good coach. Just sad to see him blamed for the problems. Think they really need to do something about Rasheed. He's a good player, but something needs to be done about his attitude.

Jazzmyn

He's not a bad coach...it's just mixed with the combination of ego-maniacs that we all love <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">, it wasn't good! They need someone who can tell Rasheed to Shut the F@*k up. He couldn't do that. Hopefully they can find a coach that can handle the attitudes of our beloved Blazers.. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

I hope so too Myst!! We need a team to beat the hell out of the Lakers and win the finals. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Jazzmyn

Welp, so much for Sacramento <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> Now we just gotta hope San Antonio can get their arses into gear and beat the hell out of Dallas! I'm an old school fan, what can I say...I'm used to Dallas being at the bottom of the barrell <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Whoever wins out of San Antonio and LA Lakers is gonna be the NBA champs. The east teams are way too weak to have a chance this year <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Go San Antonio!!!!!!! You must beat the Lakers!! lol Hate the Lakers. Mad that the Kings didn't put up some kind of fight. lol Need the Lakers to be gone. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Jazzmyn

I'm still for the Suns. Have they won yet? <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
