Who will go to the championship this season?

Count me as one Celtic fan that thinks they are severing ties with Telfair prematurely.

Hey Liquid, stop by the Knicks board which unlike this one isn't a ghost town.  Always looking for a new perspective, and we were talking Telfair yesterday. 

I think you have to respect the Celtics for sticking by their principles, though its true they may not have all the facts in the case just yet.  That said, I wouldn't mind if the Knicks were considering ways to pair him with his cousin in our backcourt.

Carlisle is gone from INDY!

Miami is toast.  Bye Bye Wade. Sayanora Shaquille.

This is fun to watch!

I have similar feeling re artest as I did with Spree. There is something I realy like about redemption (and I'm not a christ follower...) and I think this was ment to be from day one. Spree was transformed in NYC. So will Ronron. BTW- my first post after leaving the NYT.

I would take Corey Brewer over the other Gators.  But, what surprises me most is how there are over 300 posts on the pathetic Knicks and only 6 in regard to the NBA playoffs.  I would have thought Golden State giving the Mavericks the boot would have elicited some comments?

Still learning how to post on this site.  I think this site is a cross-over from the NYT forum.  The Knicks are gonna be the favorites, even though not in the playings.  The most excitement is going on out west (IMHO opinion).  Yea, the Warriors and Jazz is gonna be a battle.  I live in Utah so I've become a real Jazz fan.  Nellie is really good at the Sandbagging, seems I remember Golden State beating the Jazz when Malone and Stockton were startin out!  May have had Nellie as the coach.


I also love that Suns-Spurs battle going on in the southwest, your gotta love a player like Nash, bloody nose and all.  Ha-I remember playing a CYO game as a teenager when I had my nose smacked like that, it was painful and makes one hell of a mess.  Have you noticed when the game is on the line the good ones crank it up a notch and take-over.  Nash did last night as did Lebron against NJ.  I saw none of that with Dirk Nowinski-I like Dirk but where was he against Golden State. 

Hey SGROBIN good thing you're just a casual Sixers fan LOL!!

GS is a tease.  They signed Derek Fisher to that crazy deal then traded Derek Fisher only to watch him help tear them down.

UTAH in the WCF again?  WOW.

[chipstern]

Chuckle. 

Kirilenko's death widely exaggerated. 

Deron Williams is a MAN. 

Milsap! 

Boozer appears to have recovered from his bad Hammy. 

Utah just wearing them down.

I like the Mavs but can't stand Cuban.  It seemed that GS simply had Dallas' number, frustrating Nowitzki and co. to no end.  I do think that Avery overcoaches as someone noted in the Knicks forum.  He's got these guys wound up tighter than a drum and they seem to implode in crucial situations.  Nowitzki showed that he could come through in the clutch in game five but was a no show in game six, so I don't really know what his problem is, other than he can't handle the level of expectations placed on him.  Maybe Cuban needs to invest in another go-to player to relieve some of the pressure placed on him.

Hey no problem, post here about the playoffs, and others will join in.
It's just that the NBA forum has been a void, so the Knicks regulars have been chatting playoffs in Knicksforumland.
I think most would prefer to keep the Knicks forum mostly Knick related and have most of the general NBA chatter over here.

I do think Utah has been underrated all year.  A good solid team.  And with some nice youth.  Obviously Deron is a serious baller, but CJMiles, Brewer, and Millsap (a 2nd round pick) could have nice futures (and/or could be good trade chips).

Rockets have been overrated because they have 2 big names.  TMac played well in theplayoffs, but really needs to improve his shot selection.  A guy with his ability and he shot something like 43% for the year.  Rockets have many holes, especially PG and PF.

I'm still calling it as Suns v. Detroit, my pre-season pick.  Bulls blew it by losing their last game and missing out on the higher seeding.  No way can they beat Miami-Detroit-Cavs-Western foe.  Extremely tough road.  Look at the cakewalk the Cavs are getting.  Anyway, pretty good playoffs so far.
