papsrus Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 After careful consideration, I'm taking the Magic in this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Safe to say Cleveland's entire franchise is hanging in the balance. If (when) they get knocked out, LeBron walks--likely to Jay-Z's (Brooklyn) Nets and the new arena. LBJ stands to make $100 million+ in his Nike contract if he moves to a major market, and has already stated his desire to be the first billionaire ballplayer. The Nets will have the money to spend on LeBron and then some. I'm still waiting for the Lakers to play a good game against the McNuggets.

AFAIK, the Knicks have little room to maneuver for the next batch of free agents. Same with LA. Bulls have a bit more space, but it probably means dumping Ben Gordon and/or Luol (maybe, just maybe Reinsdorf would agree on paying the luxury tax if it meant getting LeBron). Nets probably do have the most room of the major market teams. Never say never, but I don't think the financing for their new arena will come together, and the Nets will ultimately end up in Newark.

Soulstation1 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Another example of why it is tough being a Cleveland sports fan I just expect the worst and then I won't be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 IMO Trust Me on this one Both series going to game 7's Still think it will be the Cavs and Thuggets winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 From the looks of the game tonight, the Lakers are in the finals. Anyone want to bet that by some strange coincidence, the Cavaliers will beat Orlando tomorrow night and then win at home on Monday? Personally, I wouldn't put anything by David Stern and the NBA. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalupa Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 It's bad enough that they no longer call traveling in the NBA but now it seems they have also done away with moving picks as well. I think of the 3 major sports the NBA officiating is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Gasol will cover him? Van Gumby, winning a NBA title -- the horror! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 It just goes to show that a real center is still the most valuable player in this league. Howard is really the only real center playing these days besides Shaq, who is on the decline. When you have someone that big and that powerful under the basket, it makes it really hard for other teams to do much of anything. And Howard is a frickin' beast.
