the unofficial '10 NBA playoffs thread

shit. might as well stick a fork in the suns also.

i hope both series end in 4 as to not drag the conference finals out for another 2 weeks.

I think the Suns will make a stand, they wont get swept. They'll shoot a lot better at home and maybe play a lil D.

i definitely think the suns and magic are capable of stealing a game or 2. they certainly wont quit like lebron james and the cavs. but i just dont think either team has the firepower to make it a series unlike cleveland who was simply the far better team but for some unknown reason, simply gave up.

suns in particular have far superior on court leadership, and that type of give up isnt in their nature; however, kobe has proven time and time again, that a 7-10 point deficit is nothing for him to overcome.

i guess a miracle can happen and they fall asleep. doubt it though, from what ive seen.

no shit. im hoping for atleast an entertaining game this evening. i didnt even bother watching the magic get the crap kicked out of them last night.

1. i pretty much saw the writing on the wall, and in my mind the outcome was already determined.
2. the nascar all-star race seemed much more promising and unpredictable.

i was correct on both counts. im looking forward to a 110-112 game tonight.

steve nash is hardcore. hes got hockey player written all over him. now im not squeemish, but i think i can do w/o the repeated close up shots of him trying to fix his broken nose on the court-

that had my eyes watering when i first saw it.

finally! we get a basketball game that was worth its conference finals billing. just sucks that took until the 7th game with a team that had its back against the wall.

r. allen is ice. j. nelson is lucky. v. carter is invisible. p. pierce and d. howard look like mvp's.

wish the entire series was like this.

[tony hipchest]

is it to much to ask for kobe to hold a single press conference in his entire career w/o his arms folded and him scratching/tugging at his ear, or stroking his cheek with his left hand?

wtf is up with that???

its bugged me for years and i am sick of it.

i underrated the home court advantage in this series. i still think the lakers flip the switch back at home but i like the way the suns role players stepped up and had an answer. maybe it gives them some confidence to stretch this to 7 games.

maybe talks of phil jackson leaving to go coach LeNext in chicago or NYC is distracting the lakers.

he's a liar...

Signs of Deception:
Body Language of Lies:

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.
how to see a fake smile

• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.

• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.
