Well I hope CP3 stays in NO. They just need a couple more pieces.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

If the Hornets would have got swept, do you think we would be hearing about CP3 bad knees?

Prolly not just how Kobe/Lakers dominated the series as expected, you'd hear nothing of CP3/Hornets so nice try lol

Well hopefully we can go back home and force a game 7. Where anything can happen.

Any game in LA is going to have questionable officiating... that's what worries me about this series.

I don't know how New Orleans gets a win in game 7 in spite of the circumstances. I guess they can start with not turning the ball over 20 times.

Kobe got dirty again?

Will you watch the damn game

He swung his arm and hit Oak right in the head when he had the ball extended way over his head nowhere near... Kobe didn't even make a play on the ball

Oh and the series will go 7. If I had a bit of extra money, I'd wager on it.

CP3 will show out one last time but I think LA still advances.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

The logical part of me says yeah no game 7, butttt the other part of me says CP3 and a few others don't want to have the possible last home game of the season end in a loss.

CP3 has been so good that his 20pt 12ast performance this game is almost bad just when you compare it to the others lol

Right. It seemed like he didn't do much.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - First Round Discussion Thread

There's no way Spurs let their dynasty and Timmay era end on their home floor against an 8th seed right?

That would be depressing

My jaw would seriously be on the floor.

What a way to go out ehh, the past three years they would have been absolutely embarrassed out of the playoffs. I kinda wanna see it happen for message board fun reasons.

I wouldn't be shocked either way if the Grizz win tomorrow or get blown out. I don't see a close Spurs win though. Either way, Grizz would take Game 6, I confidently believe that.

The Spurs will win tomorrow by 15+, just like the Lakers did today.

Yup...I don't know why people get excited. Until the nail is in the coffin, teams like the Lakers/Spurs are the favorite imo no matter what the deficit is.

I guess more the fact that it's a 1 v 8 seed, Timmay/Spurs have long been considered "one of the best teams" of the past decade, that's what would leave me stunned. To see it all end at the hands of a team without their best player on SA's home floor. Ouch.

The actual series though? You're right I shouldn't be shocked if Memphis won. They've played about as well as a Memphis fan could ask for. Spurs? Well Timmay's played just OK, but not the Timmay they need to get a title. Parker and Manu have been holding up their ends of the bargain.. and I do realize that they have made an effort to put more of the burden on those two instead of Timmay... but let's be real, Timmay needs to show out. Play like the best PF ever.
