It's only fair. Is anyone willing to bet against the Heat this year?

[Morgacht]

[BluePriiint]

Thanks for the shout out MichaelMongrel!

forefront; I'll bet against your boys Wade, James, & Bosh all day long. (58-24??) I believe is their record with that kinda power-house line up?? Second in their conference...ok not bad. But this year, it just ain't gonna happen. D. Rose and the bulls look like the bulls of Jordan! They are the team to beat!

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

[MichaelMongrel]

Magic will rally back if we can do something other than feed the ball to Dwight.

Thought I'd let you know my favorite in the west is the Thunder. Can't go wrong with the Durantula and Westbrook.

NICE! I'm glad you support the THUNDER! I would love to tell you that the Magic are my favorite in the East but, I'd just be lying to you. Gotta go with the Celtics on that one. But I do support the Magic don't get me wrong. We just need the Thunder to finish off Denver here and D. Howard to crush the basket in the paint and make some 3's! Then we can keep our discussion up till the Finals!

[MichaelMongrel]

To tell you the truth, I'm starting to get tired of the Magic failing. I'm about ready to hop off the Magic train if they go out next game.
But... still rooting for them at the moment!

[usernameranq]

Magic asll day come on man the magic is the best in the whole sport come on. It was a sorry lose yesturday. But, they not going out with out a fight.

[xMortyZx]

Here's a quick playoff update for you guys. Bulls won their series against Pacers and Celtics won their series against the Knicks. Thunder will country stomp the Nuggets tomorrow!

http://www.nba.com/2011/playoffs/2011/04/13/schedule/index.html

[MichaelMongrel]

Magic staying alive. But they're holding on to me by only a thread.

[xMortyZx]

8 Teams left guys. Here's how it stands for the Semi-Finals

East = Miami v. Boston

Chicago v. Atlanta


West = LA v. Dallas

OKC v. Memphis

Games kick off Sunday May 1st.

http://images.sneakernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7178add70a00e3b16c8af0c0e7720f5b-getty-90043463lm028_hawks_thunder.jpg

[MichaelMongrel]

Now rooting for the Bulls in the East, and the Thunder in the West. Memphis is a great story especially with Z-Bo... but I have to root for the future powerhouse of the west, led by Kevin Durant.

By the way, I said I would take the Magic out of my number 1 spot if they didn't pull through. I've been with them so long and they do nothing but come up short nowadays. I guess it's a lot harder to leave a team when you are a local.

[itzcritty]

Bulls FTW! Or the Grizzlies. If an 8 seed takes it that would blow my mind.

Sorry to break it to ya, but you can't only have 1 good player in the bulls and make it to the finals.

OT: Spurs have been playing badly lately so they will most likely not do well.
Celtics and Heat are probably looking the best right now to go to the Finals. But they are both in the East conference.

[MichaelMongrel]

Sorry to break it to ya, but you can't only have 1 good player in the bulls and make it to the finals.



Luol Deng = 18.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg.
Joakim Noah = 12 ppg, 10.6 rpg.
Kyle Korver = 10 ppg, and .588 3P%.
Carlos Boozer = 10 ppg, 10.2 rpg.
(all stats are from this postseason)

Carlos Boozer, D Rose, J. Noah, L Deng...they have plenty...sorry to break it to ya but obviously you lack knowledge about NBA teams if you think that

Haha. Ok let me rephrase this. They need more than 1 GREAT player. Great players average more than Micheal just showed to you.
They might have the least losses but the same thing happened to the Mavericks earlier this season because of the shitty teams they were facing.
Did you really thing MJ could win a championship ring without Scottie Pippin's help.
I don't see much basketball playing where you are from as much as here. Just saying.

BTW... Heat: D.Wade, LJ, and Bosh are THREE GREAT PLAYERS!!!!
Celtics: Rondo(maybe a better PG that D.Rose), Allen, 2 O'Neils, KG also used to be or now are GREAT PLAYERS. And Perkins is probably bigger than all of the players in the Bulls.

Just saying bro.

We shall see man. Luol Deng is pretty much Derrick Rose's Scottie Pippen. I wouldn't count the Bulls out.
Oh, and Perkins plays for the Thunder, not the Celts now.

I agree with Michael's post, also Kentucky has most NCAA championships, Finals appearance and first D1 collegate team to reach 2000 career win. It's like I said. You lack knowledge

EDIT: D. Rose MVP this year...:(

[MichaelMongrel]

I really don't think Rondo is on the same level as Rose. Rose has what Rondo has, plus the ability to score.
In fact, I personally believe the guy in my avatar is on the brink of gaining a level on Rondo. Just my opinion.

EDIT:
The Bulls looked a bit better tonight. The things that will move them on to the next round started to become visible through this game.
The Mavericks are gaining my attention. Anyone who is beating the Lakers gets a temporary fan out of me.

[xMortyZx]

Damn, the Thunders win over Memphis last night was the most intense game I have watched in a long time. 3OT's and Thunder finally pulls it out with a 133-123 W over Grizz. A lot of NBA related posts on other sites say the Thunder can't win away games. Hopefully this will silence the critics a little bit.

Lakers went down looking like a bunch of criers too. The Odom and Bynum intensional's were inexcusable. And as far as the old guard is concerned it looks like the Celtics are on the way out as well.

As Shawn Powell from NBA.com posted..."The NBA landscape is shifting and changing before us, and in the summers to come we may start seeing less Kobes and KGs and more LeBrons and KDs." I couldn't agree more.

[iUndrground]

Haha ok say whatever you want. :)

[MichaelMongrel]

We'll see what happens. I think the Bulls could beat every team in the east, but perhaps not the Heat. The Heat look too strong right now, but you never know what can happen in a 7 game series. That is assuming the Bulls do close out the Hawks like they should.

[xMortyZx]

Ok, so first off, I think forefront needs to get back on here and give me a quick bitch slap for doubting his Heat were going far. Not to mention the original topic of this thread.

And second...

Its true though. Dont get Mad get educated :)

Your an idiot, I put that Spurs have been playing bad lately. Why would I think the Spurs would do good when the lost so many games right before the playoffs?
You don't know shit about basketball kid.
How about you actually play the game for once so you can understand it instead of eating chips and watching it? ;)
Can't wait for the "one man team" Bulls get raped by the "actually a team", the Miami Heat.

[xMortyZx]

itzcritty & iUnderground; I know you both. You're both solid/good guys. You both have valid points. Let it go. STOP THE INSULTS. Don't turn a fun thread into a flame war PLEASE! (TLN has enough of those) You can talk smack and still be respectful at the same time. Observe...

@MichealMongrol; Rondo is a vetted professional. Rose is the new kid on the street. (Not to mention MVP at 22 and currently getting all the latest press). So obviously he's going to look better at this time. But Rondo can without a doubt hold his own with the best in the league; and do it with ONE ARM! If you wanna have a point guard discussion let's talk Jason Kidd. Probably the best PG of our generation!

OKC better close out the Grizzle's tonight. I heard on the radio this morning that since the Lakers & Celtics are out of the playoffs no "average fan" cares about basketball anymore. I wanted to reach through the radio and strangle the DJ.

[MichaelMongrel]

On topic of best PGs of all time, I think D-Rose will be in the top 3 by the end of his career, and Rondo in the top 7 or 8.

The thing about the PGs of this new era (D-Rose, Rondo, Westbrook) is that they all have a quickness and ability to change directions in less than a second unlike anything we've seen in the past. All due respect to Jason Kidd though, as he is no-doubt one of the greatest PGs of all time up there with Magic Johnson.

Oh Snap! Nice call regarding increased quickness. (not to say Magic Johnson was a slow guy or anything). One thing about this new gen of PG's I "think" they push to the paint a little too often. Especially Westbrook. And its almost like it is encouraged. (push in and try to draw the foul) I remember not to long ago when commentators would eat kids lunches for pulling those stunts. Push when you need to but the majority of the time I think PG's need to slow the ball down and set up picks.

[Brwn]

Hey, im kinda new to this thread, but I'll jump right in if thats cool.


I think PG's need to slow the ball down and set up picks.
Your right about the picks, but instead of slowing the ball down, i think PGs try to slow the game down, if that makes sense. And also set up screens. But the quickness in the paint, i think thats just them trying to sneak in to get a good shot while drawing fouls.





Anyone excited for the Bulls vs. Heat game today. Should be interesting seeing Derrick Rose and Dwayne Wade playing.

[xMortyZx]

@Brwn; slowing the ball down to me is slowing the game down. Same / Same. Don't get me wrong, PG's who push and make plays happen can force wins. I'm pretty sure we are saying the same thing in two different ways.

THUNDER BEAT MEMPHIS IN GAME 7! WESTBROOK TO DURANT PICK AND ROLLS! CONGRATS OKC! OFF TO THE WESTERN CONF FINALS!

I'm ready for the Bulls & Heat. Gonna be some good stuff!

[MichaelMongrel]

I think if you have a great scorer/passer PG, it is a good idea for them to drive. Drive and kick can really score you some points if you have other players to finish.
Rondo is the superior in the passing category right now, no doubt, but Derrick Rose is really developing each week he plays. Russell Westbrook I think really needs to work on his passing, and hopefully his court-vision will improve, and possible he could really compete with the other two next season.

Really happy the Thunder won. They are my new favorite team.

As much as I love watching Dwyane Wade go off, I'm really pulling for the Bulls this series.

[xMortyZx]

This video just has to be posted...

@Michael; glad to know I've got a fellow Thunder fan! With regards to Westbrook. Agreed. He needs to pass more and not just to KD (although most of the time you want the ball in KD's hands)

The Heat-Bulls game was intense! Mutha F'ing Gibson is a beast! What did the commentators say, "I have been to the mountain top!" Hahaha.... defiantly pulling for Chicago this series!

[MichaelMongrel]

The Bulls played exactly how they are supposed to. You know your team is playing well when you have 4 of your starters in double figures in one essential category. D-Rose and Luol Deng both had over 20 points, Carlos Boozer with his 14, and Joakim Noah with his 14 rebounds.
Also, the Bulls defense looked better than ever. They made the big 3 sweat hard and ultimately that decided the game.

I'm gonna put some faith in both of my favorites:

Bulls in 6.
Thunder in 7.

Yea, I'm also married to Miley Cyrus, but we both know that's not true!
And so what you are saying is that you know more about basketball than Magic Johnson?
Haha ok let me say this one more time...LEARN TO R-E-A-D!!! I also used Sports Center as a source idiot. I never said I used espn.com. You say opinions don't matter especially from former NBA All-Stars (Magic Johnson from sports center) when you keep on saying that Bulls will win. Just stop making yourself looking like a fool and please retake first grade reading.

Read slowly and carefully.

I'm done having this stupid argument, PM me if you have something to say.

[Gweedo888]

honestly i don't follow pro basketball much but i am calling a heat vs Mavs in the final i think that the thunder are a little to worn out to make it all 7 games if need be. However i see heat vs bulls game going all 7 with the big three pulling it out in the end..and underground don't argue with Crittzy his stupidity will just leave you with a migrane

This should come to a surprise to none... butttt heat top 1

[iUndrground]

Hey guys where is Critty? To ashamed to get on the forums?
The Bulls are already in the finals??? The one man team too much for the Heat?
Haha I don't think so.
Tic-tac-toe three wins in a row.
Nuff Said.

[HavkinKnight]

yeah Mavs won in game 5 and the heat will beat the bulls in game 5 and my predictions will be 96% correct for the whole playoffs... PS Heat will beat Dallas just saying

Not too happy about how the season ended... but the future only looks brighter than before.

[iUndrground]

I will be cheering on the Heat but Dallas has a player that deserved the MVP award more than D. Rose.
Dirk scored 40 or more points on OC Thunder many times.
So it is hard to say who will win it.

[xMortyZx]

yeah Mavs won in game 5 and the heat will beat the bulls in game 5 and my predictions will be 96% correct for the whole playoffs... PS Heat will beat Dallas just saying

Havkin, damnit! I love you and hate you at the same time. OBVIOUSLY, I died a little last night when my Thunder lost to Dirk and crew. And I'll die a little more if the tasteless HEAT beat the BULLS. And if F'ing James mouths the words, "I don't want no foul" one more time I'm going to change the channel and watch American Pickers instead of NBA. (that godless heathen).

iUndrground, Dirk had 58 points in free throws! 58 points! (and he scored more than 40 once; 26 of them from the line). If you don't foul him his miraculous one legged jump shots will account for 10 of Dallas's total accumulated points. Can the man play? YES, without a doubt. But the majority of the time I see him at the free throw line and dancing outside the paint. Why am I bitter? Look at my avatar! I cut myself and it bleeds blue. F me!

Here I found a elementary school picture of Dirk...

dude... rough two days bro :(
Theres always next season right?

[Gweedo888]

thunder were out played sadly granted they gave that game to dirk lol but i am saying heat in 6 i really want lebron to get his ring

[MichaelMongrel]

The Thunder are gonna be beast next season. Kevin Durant is gonna be spectacular like usual, Russell Westbrook is gonna be on another level after learning from his recent performances, and James Harden is gonna step up and make this a Big Three.
Also, I have high hopes for whoever they draft. Kevin Durant is a big role-model in that organization. Him and his superb work ethic does nothing but good for this team.

[Gweedo888]

whats wierd is i have never really found myself that into basketball maybe cause i wasn't allowed to try out...coach wouldn't let me i got a wrestling is in the pit lol but this year i have really enjoyed it and enjoyed watching all the movess that have happened so looking forward to the draft as well

[xMortyZx]

dude... rough two days bro :(
Theres always next season right?

@Hea7; rough all around series homie! By the way, your avatar pic that gym made is pretty freaking funny!

@Gweedo, since we not only talk here but also on the phone like a couple of chicks I will forgive you for routing for the Heat. Not too mention you live in Florida. So....:) But Dallas didn't win that series; the Thunder lost it.

@Michael, I agree brother. Next year, we'll have our ring!

[steelcity007]

Who ya got!?!?!

[rasha fasha]

Dallas in couldn't tell ya

[Phoenix]

Dallas gonna wreck maimi easily! prob 5 or 6 games max!

[BluePriiint]

I would say Dallas as well only because they beat Miami all the time through out the season but Miami sucked at that time and it looks like they are better.. so its anybodies game :)

[steelcity007]

I'm gonna go the other way and say Miami in 6

[Justin21]

Miami in 5

[MichaelMongrel]

Miami in 6. I don't think Dallas has it in them to beat such a beastly line-up.

[steelcity007]

Game 2 tonight boys, Dallas needs to hit their shots!

[MichaelMongrel]

Miami played too passive at the end. If Miami plays like they did in the 3rd and early 4th qtr for the rest of the series, they've got it in the bag.

[Gweedo888]

unless dallas wins this and the next game i think the series is over there is only so much dirk can do on his own you know

[HavkinKnight]

with the heat 2-1 i think that if they win tomrrow its just over... they cant win 3 stright on the heat!

[MichaelMongrel]

Man, I could care less the Mavs won. The Big Three choked... but they definitely showcased some potential with that playoff run. The Mavs will probably not make the Finals again next season cause they are getting too old.
