    Default Official NBA Playoffs Thread

    Let's talk some serious playoff basketball in a respectful manner in here...keep the trash talking friendly in tone.

    *stops sucking up to the mods*

    Anyways, I am a Jazz fan and I am getting really pumped up for the playoffs to start here in a couple of weeks. I really think the Jazz have a shot of winning it all this year. They are dominant at home and their road woes are blown out of proportion...as the Jazz like to play down to their opponent and lose to crappy teams on the road. I will start growing my playoff beard as soon as the regular season ends for good luck and won't shave it until they are eliminated....or win it all!

    Come on and pimp your teams until the seeding gets figured out and we can start talking matchups and stuff.

    In response to the Jazz being boring...

    This is so not true. This is an old myth that dates back to the Stockton and Malone days. This year, the Jazz are 2nd in offensive efficiency(points per possession), play at the 9th fastest pace in the league, and are 5th in PPG.

    The Jazz look to run at every opportunity, but Deron Williams is a smart point guard and will set up the offense if nothing is there. They don't just chuck up long jump shots with 20 seconds left on the shot clock like the Nuggets do, but they like to get out on the run and get easy baskets.

    Naw I hate boston. And last year I never claimed to be a Boston fan.
    My sig was mocking someone else because they put Redsox nation or something so I mocked them and put Gagne as my adoptee.
    Trust me.. I've been a Yankees fan forever.

    Lakers fan here.

    I'm excited because the playoffs will be where I us Laker fans get to see a Fisher - Bryant - Odom - Gasol - Bynum lineup for the first time. We've had a season plagued with injuries (and Fisher and Bryant are both playing badly hurt as well) but hopefully everyone gets back for the playoffs.

    I'm hoping for an NBA Finals where the Lakers beat the Celtics 4-2.

    That is a good point. The Lakers have not been fully healthy at all this year, except for the first few months or so. Even if Bynum comes back, though, he won't be at 100% for a good while after he starts playing. Plus, Odom has been flourishing at the 4 spot and he will have to move back to the 3 where he wasn't doing so hot before Bynum got hurt.

    Nonetheless, the Lakers will be a tough matchup for anyone in the playoffs and are a definite contender.

    Yea I agree. It sucks its on the road. But the loser will more then likely be the team watching the playoffs from the couch.

    It should be a great battle between 2 pathetic teams.

    WOW! The Western Conference is so crazy this year. Today, the Spurs were fighting for a shot at the 1st seed, but they could end up being the 6th seed if they lose another game and PHX wins out.

    The Jazz can still snag the 3rd seed if they win out and Houston loses one more game. Houston could be anywhere from the 1st seed to the sixth seed still. GS will control their own destiny if the Nuggets lose tonight. There are so many crazy scenarios that could play out in the west. It will be fun to see how everything plays out.

    Does it really matter who the Suns play? No team is on the same level as they are anyways so no matter who they play it will be over in 4 games.
