Hello all, yes I may be a 'noob', but I don't think you need to be a 1000-poster to post a topic in the Off-Topic section. [/preface]

So, I'm just wondering how many of us watch and/or like the NBA finals. Personally, I do, just because it reminds me of the days (which I wasn't alive for) of the Magic vs. Bird Finals. And, in my personal opinion, the 1987 was one of the best finals ever. And it was also the last time the Celtics and Lakers faced off. Also, it hopefully won't be a sweep like last year.

So what do you guys think? Who do you guys want???


O, and I'm rooting for the Celtics, just for the record.

The NBA Playoffs are fixed. Basketball is stupid. Just my opinion.

Read This.

I bet you this years finals go seven games.

Yeah I heard about that, and it very well could be true, but think about it. Donaghy could be sentenced to 25 years unless he helps the NBA. So he, like I also would, is most likely saying anything to get the attention of the media.

I also heard that a few years ago in one of the first rounds it was Dallas vs. Houston and the NBA wanted Dallas to win, but Houston was winning the series 2-0. But Dallas ended winning in 7, so it very well could be referee corruption or it might not.

But still, again, personal gain for some is runing the game for others.

I'm just waiting to see how it plays out. (No pun intended, hardy har har.)

Basketball is just retarded now. The last 30 seconds of the game turns into a half hour foul fest. It's stupid. Refs don't call certain calls they should, and call fouls that don't even happen.

Whether it is fixed or not, basketball isn't what it used to be.

Aside from all that bullshit, the Lakers should have lost that game last night. Garnett and Pierce missed a combined 27 field goals?! The Celtics handed that game to them. Although Kobe was himself again and played awesome. He's amazing if you ask me.

Michael Jordan is still the man though.

KG and Pierce went 8/35......wow. At least Ray-Ray got over 20. I don't think Kobe can get over 30 in the next few games and Pierce didn't go to his favorite restaurant in L.A., so after that, Boston will take another.


MJ along with Bill Russel are my all time favs. Russel could put a ring on every finger AND on his big toe.


And basketball has gone down in the NBA, but the NCAA seems to be doing better, I think.
