You are really underestimating Pavlovic. Varejao gave them fits last year.

Detroit is going to have a hell of a time scoring on Cleveland. Expect slugfest battles in the 80's.

And Lebron can score and rack up assists on anyone.

People are sleeping on Cleveland.

5/11/2007 12:14:22 AM

it will be a sweep pistons in 4 easily just like the bulls

5/11/2007 12:29:08 AM

Did you guys not watch basketball last year? Lebron is better and the Cavs as a whole are better.

I can however still blame them for passing on Bosh, who would have been the better pick for that team

as far as this Cavs stuff goes, Detroit will snuff them out in 5 games, when they get back to the palace

^ he can't afford it

he still owes 15 or 20 people $50 for rivers going in the 1rst


(that said though, i think you are wrong)

5/11/2007 10:45:25 AM

^and how far are you willing to take that notion?

Detroit is playing better than anyone else in the league right now. They are THE team to beat in the NBA playoffs.

5/11/2007 10:53:52 AM

anyone else in the LEAGUE??

including the western conf??

5/11/2007 11:05:45 AM

Detriot is rolling, no doubt, and I hope they win

but the Jazz are playing really good, which i HATE to say

there is not a team i would like to see lose more than them

5/11/2007 11:18:12 AM

agreed....

On a different note.

I'm stoked that the Warriors are playing @ home tonight. That really is a college atmosphere. I hope that play their game and play it good enough to win.

On the other hand, I am bummed that this game is on ESPN. TNT's coverage of basketball is far superior to ESPN's. No Chuckster to LOL at for playoff basketball games is no bueno.

Jazz - Warriors - Game 3 - Jazz up 2-0

I think 9:00 P, ESPN.

Who you got? I got the Warriors.

5/11/2007 4:24:08 PM

i could really see this one going 7, with all the home teams winning, and thus, utah taking the series. but i really hate utah and have come to like warriors, so i hope the warriors can steal one on the road. realy sucks they couldnt put em away the past two games.

and yea, too bad no tnt tonight. but maybe with espn we could get bill walton, somewhat of a consolation.

Only two people took that bet and i paid one of them. The other one started talking shit and asked for his moeny and i told him to make arrangements to get it but not to talk anymore shit. Then a few weeks later he started bitching about it again after never even attempting to get in touch with me. So I told him to forget it. You don't come on and say "Rallydurham is a bitch who won't pay his bets" when you never attempted to collect. Erios didn't have any trouble collecting his money for the same bet.

I'm owed $1700 in outstanding bets. If i take Panthro's bet it'll probably be $1,750. I don't see what's in it for me if I win.

$50? If you wanna make it $100 that's fine with me. Cleveland wins at least 2 games in the series.


I'm not taking the bet right now though. I want to make sure Cleveland advances to the next round and is injury-free. I'll def take you up on it if that happens.

i back prob 80-90% of what you say on here, esp nba stuff. we are both sports guy junkies, but that thread is what made you 'infamous' around here so i had to bust your balls a little

5/11/2007 5:26:06 PM

that's cool. just letting it be known that i pay bets if the person attempts to collect it without calling me out twice unwarranted.

5/11/2007 5:33:20 PM

wow baron davis with a 360 layup, some stupid shit i would try

5/11/2007 11:15:06 PM

Baron Davis just ended Andrei Kirilenko's career.

5/11/2007 11:37:52 PM

is it just me or does don nelson look like a fat nick nolte. might be the crazy looking hair

5/11/2007 11:43:02 PM

Kirlenko has the stupidest haircut I have ever seen.

5/12/2007 12:09:24 AM

kirilenko is a skinny ivan drago, which is why he is my only favorite player in the nba...however i only watch nba sparingly when the playoffs are on

Stephen Jackson is trying a little bit too hard to be the facilitator in tonights game.

If I were Baron Davis, I'd have to pull him to the side and "explain the situation".

Come on Warriors, pull this out!!!

I thought so too...I imagine on some level, he realized Davis wasn't hitting, so he thought someone else ought to try, but Lord...

I wonder how many turnovers he had in the last 10 minutes.

[Edited on May 14, 2007 at 12:40 AM. Reason : clarify]

5/14/2007 12:38:49 AM

davis was hitting. he just wasn't shooting.

i thought the warriors were horribly coached tonight. although, in the nba who knows how much of it is coaching, but either way, terrible gameplan. they walked it up the court. didn't take it to the basket nearly enough. baron didnt shoot nearly enough. in the first half he had layups that he usually takes but he passed em out instead.stephen jackson tries to take over the game and can't, lies on the floor and pouts (like he always does) while utah's on the other end scoring.

now i gotta watch the borin mormons in the western finals!?

5/14/2007 1:28:55 AM

youre right

utah has eliminated golden state

5/14/2007 9:02:11 AM

arent they up 3-1 now so that means one more game right
but the warriors are done anyways so it doesnt matter

5/14/2007 9:05:18 AM

well right

but 3-1 isnt over, just ask the Mavs

5/14/2007 9:11:53 AM

its over

dammit

god i hate utah

gg JRich on taking down that fag Okur

5/14/2007 9:14:10 AM

if Mark Cuban bought the Jazz today, Golden State wouldn't lose another game until the Western Finals

5/14/2007 2:17:48 PM

I think the Spurs are going to be up 3-1 after tonight. Same with the Cavs, even if I did pick the Nets to get to the next round.

5/14/2007 2:29:08 PM

Fuck the Spurs....the Suns need to make this thing the exciting and close series it should be because the other 3 are almost over....maybe NJ has a chance against Cleveland.

5/14/2007 3:15:32 PM

THIS YEAR'S PLAYOFFS HAVE SUCKED....LAST YEARS WAS 10 TIMES BETTER

IF UTAH OR SAN ANTONIO COMES OUT OF THE WEST I WILL NOT WATCH A SINGLE MINUTE OF THE FINALS

5/14/2007 4:20:01 PM

YEAH THAT GOLDEN STATE DALLAS SERIES SUCKED

5/14/2007 4:23:25 PM

The Spurs are one of the most entertaining teams to watch IMO.

Youre a fucking idiot spida

DON'T GET ME WRONG THE SPURS ARE THE MOST FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND TEAMS BUT EVERYONE ON THE TEAM IS PRETTY BORING.......I AM PULLING FOR A SUNS/CAVS NBA FINALS

5/14/2007 5:57:02 PM

I am sitting here watching the cavs/nets game and just realized that Lebron made me a cavs fan....i find myself cheering for them and I never heard of them before him

5/14/2007 7:37:23 PM

Lebron is lighting it up today.
