it's pretty bad out there
i mean really?!?!
Rose, Howard, Bosh out.
Yeah.
What's the problem? It's not like the 2007 cavs are making it out of the east
the WCF's, the TRUE finals? well seee....it sucks cause IF the Spurs do take it, or whoever takes it, there are gonna be a whole lot of nay sayers
The EC has just been sooo boring to watch lately....I think the spurs coulda taken any of of Easts teams out with or without injuries....
If the Heat fall to the Pacers, then Thunders-Spurs in the WCF will suddenly have even higher stakes - could really be the series that will decide the NBA championship.
OKC-SAS, under such cir stances, could be one of the most intense WCF series we've seen in a decade.
Spurs have had okc's number for the last couple seasons tbh.
Who cares about the nay sayers? A championship is a championship.
Yes but there's a first time for everything.
The only team in the East that I was worried about was Chicago but there gown down so it will be the West
I think the Celtics have the best shot of getting out.
People have been pumping up the Celtics recently. They are now tied 2-2 with the Sixers. Can you imagine the Sixers being tied with any West playoff team, with the outside possibility of the Jazz?
Proponent of a 16 seeded tourney w/ no west/east bracketing?
I wouldn't say that the East is bad, but there isn't a clear favorite anymore due to all the injuries. I respect Boston, Indiana and Miami just as much as I do the Lakers this year.
Conferences essentially exist entirely for less travelling and easier scheduling of games, not at all for the betterment of the league. Technically a league with 87 games where every team plays the other team 3 times and then we go into a 16-team seeded tournament should provide the most entertainment and fair format, but that'll never happen
just imagine a Spurs-Pacers finals...
Stern would kill himself![]()
How is bad is the injury of Bosh?
Out indefinitely, with a timeframe I've only seen estimated as "weeks."
I don't really understand how an "abdominal strain" works, though.
I would like a Spurs - Celtics finals if we beat LAC and OKC.
That would mean a chance for the Spurs to beat the best 2 teams in the east of the last 10 years, The Pistons and the Celtics.
I don't know the Pacers had a 13 game win streak going into the dance so they are much better then what people think. In a way they are a little like us a small market team that now one wants to hype.
It's really dependent on the person.
It lingers. Could be end of this series, could be for the playoffs
I'm totally okay with a Spurs-Pacers Ratings Apocalypse series.
No celebrity star meltdown storylines. Just good, fundamental basketball on both ends of the court.
A Spurs-Pacers Finals would be epic, IMHO.![]()
