NBA playoffs thread

[rjohnso]

I'm watching 76ers-Magic at the moment. in their first playoff game of the series.
I am very excited about these playoffs. Who do you guys think can go all the way?

I reckon Cavs are going to be very hard to beat if LeBron plays the way he did last night. He was incredible.

Philadelphia won after a late Iguodala clutch 2 with 2.2 seconds remaining saw them beat the Magic 100-98. A fantastic game. Orlando had a real implosion as they were 18 points up and cruising in the third.

I really hope Bulls can knock out the Celtics for the British players of Gordon and Deng (although Deng is injured). they claimed a great first win last night away against the Celtics. Rose was superb scoring 36 points and 10 assists.

Post up your thoughts on their chances guys.

Here is a very interesting article on the playoffs and LeBron James in particular. There is good news about the star Great Britain player Luol Deng, which states that if the Bulls get far in the playoffs then he could have a part to play.

Mavs won the first game of their series already and it was away. It won't be that 1 sided.

I reckon
Lakers 4-2 Jazz
Nuggets 4-3 hornets
Spurs 2-4Mavericks
Blazers 3-4 Rockets

Cavaliers 4-0 Pistons
Celtics 4-3 Bulls
Magic 4-2 Sixes
Hawks 1-4 Heat (i hope Wade turns it on!)

we'll see more about a Celtics comeback after tonight. Even though bulls are on form I think Celtics are gonna give a big fight. They are champions after all.

personally im a nuggets fan, and hope they win.

cavs have played superbly this season, and king james is excelling himself even further already, i cant help but think tho, that cavs will get to the final, and pressure get to them or more particularly lebron. Ive a feeling it will be the Lakers year

Denver looked very good in beating the Hornets. I reckon they can definitely beat the Mavericks in the next round. Hopefully they can reach the final. It should be good

I reckon whichever team gets out from Bulls and Celtics will give the Cavs a great game. These two teams are so tough and will have so much momentum if they get out of this series.

This game was incredible. I'm still really excited after last night!

this was in the third overtime with 15 seconds left!! how did rose jump that high!
