NBA 2003-04 preview/season thread

[ManU2000]

I feel the same way about you skip, although you like the Pats.

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Ah, ****. I knew the Spurs would prevail. I don't think they'll get to the Finals, though. We'll see.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Wow, I just saw the arguement and I have to say, the guy going around calling people idiots is the only idiot in the thread. This just in Carlos*ass, the best defensive player in the league is not gonig to get traded; if he did get traded, the Pistons would plummit. I honestly don't know why people can't see past off the court stuff and stuff like a flagrant foul every few games; big deal! The man can shut down anyone in the league, I think that's a little more important than getting T'ed up every now and then. Plus as someone has said, he brings heart to that team. I love O'Neil, but he doesn't play with a killer instinct, he always has a sort of glazed look on his face. Artest plays like it's his last day on earth every time. He gets in your face, he'll foul you, he'll foul you hard, and he'll stop you from being a factor. If the Pistons win the East, it will be because of Ron Artest more than anyone else on that team.

Isiah J.R. Rider is nothing like Artest. Rider was an undersized Shooting Guard who couldn't guard anyone and made a trick shot or two every few games. Don't talk unless you actually know what you're talking about instead of knowing about guy's reputations. You're not a basketball guru like other people here might be, so don't act like one and call people idiots because they don't agree with your uninformed opinion.

I stand corrected for going on my power-trip.

Its playoff time so lets have some prediction~~


EAST
1. z-Indiana --
2. y-New Jersey 12.0
3. x-Detroit 6.0
4. x-Milwaukee 18.0
5. x-Miami 19.0
6. x-New Orleans 19.0
7. x-New York 21.0
8. x-Boston 24.0

Indiana V Boston-- I predict Bostons upset (Boston in 7)

New Jersey V New York-- Great match-up Kidd V Marbury (Nets in 6)

Detroit V New Orleans-- Well... IMO New Orleans gonna get hammered (Detroit in 5)

Milwaukee V Miami-- Who Cares (Milwaukee in 5)
----
Oh damn it Nets V Pistons in Semis...

WEST

1. x-Minnesota --
2. x-Sacramento 1.0
3. x-San Antonio 1.0
4. x-LA Lakers 2.0
5. x-Memphis 6.0
6. x-Dallas 6.0
7. Houston 12.0 (they gonna make it soon)
---8. Denver 14.0 (undecided but I go for Utah because Denver has tough games coming up while Utah has one tough and one easy game)
---9. Utah 14.0
---10. Portland 15.0

Minnesota V Whoever-- Minny go through for sure (Minny in 6 if its Utah or Portland Minny in 5 if its Denver)

Sacramento V Houston-- I think Kings will struggle against Houston but manage to win in 6 (Sac in 6)

San Antonio V Dallas-- Holy crap Offense V Defence...Very tough matchup but again there is no one that can stop Tim Duncan (SA in 6)

Lakers V Memphis-- I think Memphis lacks in experience (Lakers in 5)

----
JERRY SLOAN FOR COTY but he won't get it likely because of Utah not in 60% winning so Memphis Brown will get it probably...

Wait till the playoff's start im gonna open a separate thread. Playoffs positioning can still change in these last couple of days.

What a story the Heat has been this season.

I can't believe how much Rafer Alston improved. Last year he was just a third-class PG who can't shoot, when he played for the Raptors. But this season, damn, I see Rafer knocking down huge 3's all the time.

 

[Back Door Skip]

He's always been good, except this year it seems he finally settled down and got his NBA game on.

 

[Hendrik]

If I'm not mistaken the first round is Best-of-Five.

 

[SRB]

no i think it was changed to a best of seven... or i might be thinking of a different sport, but i think its best of 7

 

[Back Door Skip]

They changed them to 7 two seasons ago, I think.

 

[Hendrik]

Oh cool

Who's gonna win it? THE BUCKS!! THE BUCKS!!!

Michael Redd, Light it up light it up! Keith Van Horn, Light it up light it up! D Mason, Light it up light it up!

Wow, a lot less exciting than 3 years ago.

 

[Back Door Skip]

As long as they make it a competition, I'll be satisfied. Just hope they don't get swept and embarassed like the past years.

 

[SRB]

lol asking van horn to light it up :funny:

you're optimistic

do the bucks have HCA? if they do then they actually might go to the second round.

No Anthony Mason will be the one man team for the Bucks. That would be great if the Mason's (Bucks) played the Knicks. That would be a great series.

 

[SRB]

man... how bout that bob sura guy? hes had triple doubles in each of his last three games... solid ones too, like 20 points, 12 boards and 10 assists... il be keeping an eye on him in next year's fantasy draft... and the hawks beat the nets by about 20

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

We can kiss home court advantage good-bye.

 

[SRB]

why would you say that?
