**OFFICIAL** SpursDynasty '08-'09 Predictions Thread

[nkdlunch]

spursdynasty is one dumb mofo but I gotta admit this is kinda funny:

The Lakers can't "remain" the best in the West when they were never the best to begin with! What exactly did they accomplish last season? Win one more regular season game than the Spurs and have a cakewalk to the WCF's? Then face a drained Spurs team who drew a 55-win team in the first round and a 56-win team in the second round while the Lakers played the Nuggets and Jazz. The Spurs got screwed by an NBA-acknowledged missed call in Game 4. In the NBA one missed call or one play can completely change the course of an entire series.

I'm sorry but these Lakers are still a joke. If they were really the best in the West, then that means they were the best in the NBA and they clearly weren't. Just another failed Finals trip for a team that got handed the playoffs. I still don't see what is the big deal about this team. It's still Kobe and a bunch of no-names. Pau Gasol? Andrew Bynum? Is everyone realizing the names on the roster of the team that's getting so much attention? It's more about the name on the front of their jerseys than the names on the back of their jerseys. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck could be on the Lakers and everyone would pick them as the favorites to win it all.

And I'm sorry but the Hornets (fluke season last year) and Rockets (STILL not out of the first round with McGrady and Yao) are NOT going to do anything this year.

That mickey mouse and Donal Duck line had me rolling.

11/12...big prediction!!

I fully expect the Hawks to come out of the East this year. Spurs vs. Hawks 2009 NBA Finals

and a wrong prediction...

This is arguably the first time this season that the Lakers will face a compe ive team. I predict they lose. 106-99.

and another whiff...for Hawks-Celtics...

Easy W for Atlanta.

I'm going to quit my job and start betting the opposite of SD's picks...can probably retire in a couple years...

[SpursDynasty]

Boston had to win within the last 0.5 second of the game. That's an Atlanta W to me.

[sook]

Boston had to win within the last 0.5 second of the game. That's an Atlanta W to me.

yea, thats what i was thinking...atlanta looks real impressive

[ginobili's bald spot]

This thread is classic.

[LEONARD]

I expect this to pretty much be a 15+ point victory for New Orleans. Houston will drop to a .500 team from this point on and won't be expected to do much. It's time to trade McGrady and Yao and rebuild.

OOPS!!

Boston had to win within the last 0.5 second of the game. That's an Atlanta W to me.

Whiniest little ever...

[LEONARD]

11/17

Easy W for the Thunder.

oops

My bodog count is growing like never before with my new pick the opposite of SD philosophy...

[LEONARD]

HSO's on LeBron...

LeBron James is a fluke and a bust.

I'm just wondering why does everyone give a damn about where LeBron goes? He's already in an easy conference and hasn't won a championship. He could go to the Nets, Mavericks, Knicks, he'll never get to a championship-caliber team because they wouldn't have the money for him. He will never win a championship.

and a pre tion on tonight's Spurs game...I'm betting heaving on Denver!!

Easy W coming up and we'll be 6-5. Just don't allow any BS shots from Denver.

[LEONARD]

Tonight will be one of the rare occasions of me rooting for Dallas. I'm tired of Houston's BS and I hope McGrady, Yao, and Artest stay injured for the rest of the season.

Go Mavs.

Mavs 110, Rockets 93 tonight

[LEONARD]

Lakers suck...Spurs will sweep the regular season series against them this year...

Why aren't some of these teams taking it to the Lakers? There are plenty of teams (including Phoenix tonight) that are more talented and better than the Lakers. Why are teams repeatedly not showing up to play against them? Are Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, and Jordan Farmar really that intimidating? Why are they playing scared? It's like the 2006-2007 BS we saw with the Mavs. They were making their shots, shooting the ball well, and had most teams play like junk against them. It took a team that barely got the 8th seed to just go out there and play some real basketball, to get rid of them.

Maybe they have to play Boston (as in the 2008 Finals) or Detroit (as in last week) for everyone to see how average they are.

I will say it right now: when the Lakers play the Spurs in January, they will not win. In fact, the Spurs will sweep the season series against the Lakers.

It's time for the league to step up against these jokers.

[LEONARD]

LEO, OUT...

[LEONARD]

Since we'll sweep the season series with L.A. this season, we can afford to be a few games behind for now.

You mean the Clippers right?

[LEONARD]

12/20

I guess the Lakers had a good 2 month regular season run. Boston will blow them out on Christmas, the bandwagon will end. 5 more days and this team will be looking to rebuild/trade.

12/22/08

The Lakers are done Christmas Day. Aside from Boston being 92-18 over its last 110 regular season games, and aside from being the NBA champions, the Lakers suck.

oops!

[LEONARD]

12/10

Spurs are the favorites to win the championship

Actually, they're not...

12/10

Suns will win this one tonight. Glad to see the Lakers actually having to EARN their wins, and not just have every game handed to them by the officials.

OOPS

12/12

I'm calling it now: The Kings will beat the Lakers

Beno > Kobe

OOPS

12/14

The rest of December after New Orleans is a cupcake schedule. New Orleans, Orlando, Toronto, Sacramento, Minnesota, Phoenix, Memphis, and Milwaukee. We could be 23-8 by the beginning of the new year.

OOPS...and to the fluke / wasted draft pick Dwight Howard no less...
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2008121819

12/17

The Lakers aren't that good

[LEONARD]

12/27

We need a Spurs win and a Rockets loss tonight to help our SW division standing.

Jazz 116 Rockets 72 tonight.

OOPS

[hater]

I gotta say, most of his predictions are turning out to be true

[LEONARD]

I gotta say, most of his predictions are turning out to be true

Say wha???

[Chieflion]

I kind of agree with some of the predictions, but lets just leave it at that.

[LEONARD]

12/30

Easy W tonight. All we need to do is make our shots. When we make our shots and the other team doesn't, we always win. When we don't make our shots, we lose. Milwaukee won the last game on a couple of lucky bounces. Let's get a 20+ point blowout...put this one away by halftime.

OOPS!!!

12/30

The Lakers this year are expected to be about 50-32 or so.

[LEONARD]

12/30

The Celtics are officially a second-tier team.

[Chieflion]

Your obsession with SpursDynasty is beyond everyone combined.

[LEONARD]

It's my bit response to his bit...

[DubMcDub]

I gotta say, most of his predictions are turning out to be true

Except for the small fact that essentially none of them have been true.

Still and all, the guy is clearly doing a bit, and he's damn good at it. It's been the funniest thing on this board for a good 2-3 years running.
