Anyone care who wins?

Bulls stole Game 1 from the Celtics for the early upset.

Cavs won Game 1 against the Pistons, as expected.

I can't see the Celtics winning the east this year. Cavs look too strong, and I hope the Lakers win the west.

Go Blazers!

well if they don't win this season, then they better win next year cause Lebron is going to the big apple. 2010 Free agency is going to be crazy with all these stars on the open market.

Eff the Celtics. Go Lakers.

I watch the NBA but am not really passionate about one team... however, with that being said I love to watch LBJ and am always rooting for him to win. Whether it is with the Cavs or the knicks (or with any other team for that matter) I really hope the guy wins and wins big over his career.

For this years playoffs... Go LBJ/Cavs Go!

I watched the Rockets game and man that team can play defense. The hustle like crazy and do all the little things right. Not a team that any other team is going to want to face in the playoffs as even if they beat them it will a heck of a workout.

I want the Lakers to win it all, then see how Shaq responds. I love Kobe, want him to win another championship, Go Lakers!!

If anyone is going to upset the Lakers in the West, the Rockets are the team to do it. They have the defenders to shut down Kobe, and a very good system. Even without McGrady, the Rockets are dangerous.

NBA is very predictable. LA wil beat CLE in the Finals.

mykalberta · 04-20-2009, 11:35 AM

Its Lakers vs Cavs in the finals. Probably the most anticlamactic playoffs ever.

Especially after Dallas took 2 from San Antonio and Miami just got embarrased.

malcolmk14 · 04-20-2009, 02:25 PM

Dallas took two from San Antonio?

Pierre "Monster" McGuire · 04-20-2009, 02:52 PM

Seriously people, how can some of you even like Lebron? He's soooo arrogant. Sure he's good, but some of the things he does like that dumb powder throwy in the airy thing he does before EVERY game...

He's a moron.

malcolmk14 · 04-20-2009, 03:00 PM

I've been a big fan of his since he was in his Junior year of high school and watching him develop into such a special player in the league (perhaps one of the greatest ever) has been a lot of fun.

The things he does on the court are so unique, with his combination of size, speed, and strength. He's turning into something real special to watch, and as a basketball fan I'm lucky to be able to watch his entire career from start to finish. He will be in the Hall of Fame one day.

I don't like the powder thing, but he's far from a moron. And he really is not arrogant.

I'm watching this year with my hands covering my eyes 'cause my Jazz have the toughest matchup in the West. They played well in the second half yesterday, but the season is still a disappointment as far as I'm concerned.

How is that arrogant? Garnett does the exact same thing before every game.

Kobe just looked way too good that game. I like the Jazz and their team approach but up against a bigtime star they just don't seem to have an answer.

Could be the end of an era for Jazz fans tonight. "Hot Rod" Hundley will be retiring at the end of the season, he's called Jazz games since 1974 when they were in New Orleans.
