NBAF:Suns...This is just hope Detroit probably will beat them because of experience.

If Boston Plays the Lakers I know it is all fixed and a bunch of crap.

Even if Shaq is motivated, hes still old.. and an overpaid decoy at this point in his career.

I dont see how it would be fixed, everyone is saying Bostons the best team in the NBA so why would it be far-fetched to see them in the finals? Detroit havin there # in the regular season doesnt mean they can beat them in a 7 game series.

I just don't believe Boston has what it takes in the post season. Garnett never is like Cliff Robinson in the post season. So wee will see what pans out. I don't like traditionalists that all ways want their same favorite teams to win and Boston vs. Lakers is just so obvious of a marketing scheme it sickens me. The regular season and their records are just proof to me of how the NBA licks their nads. Look at the disproportionate calls with h toes teams. Your not the kind of guy who is so naive to think that both those teams are just that good at avoiding fouls and when they do foul somehow they are always personal fouls not Team fouls??

Well thats David Sterns NBA for ya, I mean its not just Boston and LA that gets this kind of bad reffing.. just look at the Cavs game a few days ago for example.. but im been saying Celts/LA before the season started so its hard for me to think that its conspiracy if the two teams make it.. even if that may be the case I mean I wouldnt doubt it, I dont trust David Stern.. but im not gonna go against my prediction.

Washington-Cleveland on ESPN right now, its a really good game so far

Talk about disproportionate foul calls The Spurs got their first eight points from the line?? when the Suns got it from the field...I hate David Stern and his NBA mafia!!

washington-cleveleand and spurs-suns were both great games today. the eastern conference finals will be boston vs. detroit, and the team that wins that will probably win the finals. the spurs would be a tough team for eaither of them to beat. and yes the pistons bench is everything for them. they have a good starting 5, but not the best. but they def have the best bench in the nba. im a big pistons fan and didnt think they could win it last year, but this year their bench is so developed and they beat good teams with the bench getting a lot of minnutes. there was a lot of talk of the pistons getting t-mac or garnett in the past, but it never happend. how can you be mad at the pistons management? its not like they sucked. it could have turned out that the team was just another team with a star, that doesnt have a supporting cast, or it could have been a great move that made them a dynasty. who knows, but eaither way the pistons management has been great. besides san antonio over the past 5 years, they have been the most consitantly good team. the only really bonehead decision was when they passed up on carmelo and wade in the draft a few years back. that still pisses me off to this day.

LA Lakers

Magic vs. Lakers in the finals

[Paytheplayer]

Im HOPING to see Lakers/Pistons finals. My 2 fave teams and my fave athlete of all time Kobe. Its a win win situation for me. But what the hell happened to the Pistons in game 1? Just goes to show, too much swagger, too much cockiness. I don't have the most confidence this year that the Pistons can pull it off. Too bad they couldn't swing the Kobe for Rip n Tayshaun deal I was hoping for. Dream trade.

Hell Yeah!! Suns are out!! How bout them Spurs!!!
