2008 NBA Playoffs 1st Round Thread

[MapleLeaf]

Nuggets play with as much heart as the Tinman did before he met the Wizard

 

[RipCity32]

What would you guys do if the Hawks actually won this series?

 

[FLIP!]

no one talks about the Magic-Raptors in this thread.

well the Raptors are extinct

 

[MapleLeaf]

idk then the east would really have no shot to win the title

 

[FLIP!]

Well the Magic are going to the second round

 

[The Guid]

Celtics are just hurting themselves now, though ATL is playing absolutely HOT.

 

[RipCity32]

The Hawks are bout to completly STUN the NBA world.

See, I don't get it. What's so stunning? It happened to the Mavs last year and Philly stole 2 games from Detroit, so far, this year.

Well the Hawks weren't as good as the Warriors from last year, plus the Mavs often choke anyways.

 

[RipCity32]

Detroit didn't win 66 games, and aren't playing the 8th seed.
And every saw the Warriors beating the Mavericks.

Everyone said the Hawks wouldn't even get close to 1 win. mexi said the series would be over in "1 game."

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I'm just stating what I'm feeling, I'm quite stunned.

Big deal, you still won 59 and are playing the 7th seed...honestly, It's no excuse for anyone. Just like the Pistons-Sixers series, anytime you have an athletic team playing a non-athletic team you won't win every game. I don't care who said what, I honestly never thought this series was "done in 1 game".

 

[RipCity32]

We'll I'm just stateing what is on everyones mind. No need to get defensive.

Well, as the only Celtics fan around...I feel a little extra need to get defensive sometimes, though I wasn't really trying that. I'm just saying that this Hawks team is very resilient and I never thought it would be easy. I'm actually happier that it's a series because it truly shows the better team.

The C's have killed themselves these past two games in Atlanta. They had a decent lead and then watched the Hawks take it and run away. All the credit in the world has to be given to the Hawks right now.

 

[RipCity32]

Well despite that bad start, Hawks have outplayed Boston the whole game IMO.

I think it was more of a bad quarter, rather than a bad start...the 3rd was pretty much all Celtics.

 

[Whisper]

The difference between this series, and the Dallas/GS series was that there were actually experts that picked GS. GS had the matchups and owned Dallas during the regular season despite Dallas' monster regular season record. Atl did not do that against Boston in the regular season. Boston dominated Atlanta, the match ups idealy heavily favor Boston.

Yet here we are, we just saw the Hawks tie up the series. Shocking it is.

Now lets watch Denver get swept.

 

[Mexi]

SWEEP!

RIP the Enver Thuggets

what now CC06?
*points at sig*

Thank you...


I'm not a good enough person to admit that kind of stuff...


But, in the face of the doubters.....


I told you.

Baggs, I don't honestly believe you guys will let us win this series. However, there is now a possibility.

ATL has like five of the ten top plays....even though there were only 3 games yesterday....

I like the last one....
