NBA Playoffs 07!
 
Let's go! Da Bulls!

Unfortunately I don't think they'll make it past the Pistons in the second round but I really think they can beat the heat with their depleted roster. Dwayne Wade shouldn't be back, he's playing too soon with that dislocated shoulder injury I think. He's a franchise player, he should have waited til next season to come back. Don't want to risk him going the way of Grant Hill or Penny Hardaway.

But in the end I think it'll be Mavs and Pistons, Mavs in 7 games.

Go Bulls!

The only way to stop Yao from scoring is to pass the ball to Tracy McGrady. I think if these two stay healthy, The Rockets are gonna be a factor.

No one here likes basketball in the least, I'm quite disappointed...

I like basketball but I don't like it enough to know the names of all the players and their stats.

Last time I looked I was someone. Has something changed that I should know about?

Mr. Yao is the pride of the mainland.....surely you've heard of Yao Ming? Seven-foot six-inch Yao Ming?

freshnesschronic 04-23-2007 11:13 AM

Oh no, sorry Hyoi, of course you count. But I wrote an extensive anlaysis on Greg Oden and Hibbert that got no responses at all. And my MJ Kobe thread, and now this. I wish more dwellars liked basketball so we could discuss stuff taht's all. But you are someone of course, my fault.

Yes I know who he is. I've lived in houston for a while and have seen him play. :)

No problema. I read where O'Neal is crying the blues about the refs again. One of the Tribune's bloggers seems to think (and I wouldn't doubt it for a moment) that he usually gets his way. He also called the Heat "Riley's militia" which I thought was damned appropriate. Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe the refs won't listen to O'Neal's whining and stop him from playing football. If that guy plays basketball, my name is Liv Tyler.

Good luck manana.

Small world. Which highschool did you go to? H-Town gets a bad rap in my opinion. What was your impression?

Yeah, the big man amazes me with his agility. Yao, like most newcomers to the league, was given a hard time by the refs, but he seems to have earned their respect. And us H-Towners have made him an honorary Texan......which ain't easy to achieve, either.

I was going to kingwood high school and to be honest I don't like it here. My mother and I are moving back home tomorrow and I am very happy for it. :)

Kingwood.....upper class. Very nice area. Sorry you've been disappointed, but the experience will serve you well in the future. There's nothing like world travel to give one perspective.

You two have a safe flight.:thumb: And cheer for Yao, will ya? My Rockets need all the help they can get!

freshnesschronic 04-24-2007 10:30 AM

Rockets are up 2-0, they don't need no help.

Shawnee123 04-24-2007 10:44 AM

Well fudge, I was almost certain basketball season was over. Oh yeah, it's NEVER over. It's like bowling league.

Hyoi 04-24-2007 04:08 PM

Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets. Oh, I think the Rockets could use some help. Phoenix has been particulary troublesome.

Won't be long. Latest possible finals date is 21 June. But you're right, there's always something for us Martians to bore you women with!
