THRILLAinmanila 04-14-2005, 03:25 AM Ok let's use this thread to discuss the upcoming NBA playoffs, and place our bets against each other....Let's go basketball fans!~ THRILLAinmanila 04-14-2005, 03:28 AM First official bet: In case the Pistons & the Spurs meet in the finals: 20 Million Points bet between Thrilla (Pistons) & The Fix (Spurs) += El Jefe=+ 04-14-2005, 11:04 AM isn't it kinda late in the season for this thread?? The Fix 04-14-2005, 11:41 AM spurs lost to the jazz yesterday with duncan in the lineup :D oh well the spurs are still gonna win. RwK 04-14-2005, 12:12 PM Heat Byotches. The Fix 04-14-2005, 12:16 PM Heat Byotches. maybe if they can get past the pistons but i doubt it, pistons play very well as a team(not as good as the spurs ;) ) and they will be tough to beat for anyone(except for the spurs ;) ) oldgringo 04-14-2005, 01:19 PM I have a 500 million dollar bet with Jose...he has the Suns and I of course put the smart money on the Pistons. What you guys are failing to understand is that we now have the best starting 5 in the league and our ENTIRE BENCH (also the best) is back. Everyones healthy...the rest of the league is ****ed... If you can name 5 players on a team that are better than the starting 5 on the Pistons then ill give you 20 mil...im talking about 5 whole players...not 3. The playoffs are a whole different animal and thats when the Stunners step it up. jack_the_rippuh 04-14-2005, 03:33 PM I got the Heat. THRILLAinmanila 04-14-2005, 07:33 PM isn't it kinda late in the season for this thread?? Actually its perfectly in time for the playoffs, where the real action begins (the trash talking and the betting here at BS) :cool: jpboxer3 04-14-2005, 07:42 PM I got the Rockets The Fix 04-14-2005, 08:57 PM I have a 500 million dollar bet with Jose...he has the Suns and I of course put the smart money on the Pistons. What you guys are failing to understand is that we now have the best starting 5 in the league and our ENTIRE BENCH (also the best) is back. Everyones healthy...the rest of the league is ****ed... If you can name 5 players on a team that are better than the starting 5 on the Pistons then ill give you 20 mil...im talking about 5 whole players...not 3. The playoffs are a whole different animal and thats when the Stunners step it up. seriously id take the spurs lineup before the pistons, tim duncan can just takeover games and straight out dominate. there isnt one thing he does bad---maybe freethrows but he aint that bad at that. here is how i look at the lineups: parker>>>>>billups ginobli = hamilton bowen<<<<<<prince duncan>>>>>rasheed wallace nesterovic(sp?)<<<<<< ben wallace right now i just cant pick against tim duncan, he is just too big a factor.both teams play great team basketball but the pistons dont have a player that can takeover a game like the spurs do. btw i i think the suns have 5 players better than the pistons do, the pistons are proven though and imo there play is more suitable for the playoffs nash richardson johnson marion stoudemire(sp?) EDIT how come my post got messed up and i cant edit it? it is supposed to look like this : bowen<<<<< prince but instead it looks like bowen<<<<<duncan>>>>>rasheed wallace oldgringo 04-14-2005, 09:32 PM seriously id take the spurs lineup before the pistons, tim duncan can just takeover games and straight out dominate. there isnt one thing he does bad---maybe freethrows but he aint that bad at that. here is how i look at the lineups: parker>>>>>billups ginobli = hamilton bowen <<<<<<prince duncan>>>>> rasheed wallace nesterovic(sp?)<<<<<< ben wallace right now i just cant pick against tim duncan, he is just too big a factor.both teams play great team basketball but the pistons dont have a player that can takeover a game like the spurs do. btw i i think the suns have 5 players better than the pistons do, the pistons are proven though and imo there play is more suitable for the playoffs nash richardson johnson marion stoudemire(sp?) The Suns have 5 better OFFENSIVE PLAYERS...not both ways though. Theres no way that parker is BETTER than Chauncey. I like Parker, but he's only equal to Billups AT BEST. Chauncey is bigger, stronger, passes just as well, shoots better % from both the field and the stripe, and can make the big three when you need it. He's also no slouch on D but i'll say that Parker is better in the open court. Rip and Ginobili are about equal...although Ginobili would kill for Rips mid-range jumper. Tayshaun owns Bowen...mainly on the offensive side because Bowen has good defense like Tay Tay. Duncan is better than Sheed just about everywhere except outside...and Sheed plays D just about as well as Duncan. Ben owns Nesterovic. There it is...plus you factor in that we have a better bench and it all comes together perfectly. THRILLAinmanila 04-14-2005, 09:39 PM I got the Heat. Wanna bet in case the Pistons meet the Heat in the Eastern Conf. Finals? THRILLAinmanila 04-14-2005, 09:41 PM seriously id take the spurs lineup before the pistons, tim duncan can just takeover games and straight out dominate. there isnt one thing he does bad---maybe freethrows but he aint that bad at that. here is how i look at the lineups: parker>>>>>billups ginobli = hamilton bowen <<<<<<prince duncan>>>>> rasheed wallace nesterovic(sp?)<<<<<< ben wallace right now i just cant pick against tim duncan, he is just too big a factor.both teams play great team basketball but the pistons dont have a player that can takeover a game like the spurs do. btw i i think the suns have 5 players better than the pistons do, the pistons are proven though and imo there play is more suitable for the playoffs nash richardson johnson marion stoudemire(sp?) Who do you match-up McDyess against in the Spurs then ?? Tha Greatest 04-15-2005, 01:23 AM Go Pistons!!!!!!!1111 joeboxer 04-15-2005, 01:51 AM spurs lost to the jazz yesterday with duncan in the lineup :D oh well the spurs are still gonna win. thats pretty bad. the jazz suck now. The Fix 04-15-2005, 02:55 AM thats pretty bad. the jazz suck now. too many injuries for the jazz, they never had a chance to really get used to eachother. imo its gonna work out better for them anyway cause they are gonna have a good chance to get either bogut or paul.i think they should take paul cause they really nead a pg and okur is gettin better. paul could be really good harpring- hard worker ak47 16 ppg and like 3.5 blocks boozer could be a 20 and 10 guy okur good shooter but cant defend anything looks like a solid starting lineup that will only get better in a couple years jack_the_rippuh 04-15-2005, 12:00 PM Wanna bet in case the Pistons meet the Heat in the Eastern Conf. Finals? No problem. That defense they used to shut down Dwyane Wade, in their previous game, won't work when Shaq is in the middle....trust me when I say that. tysonortiz 04-15-2005, 04:50 PM Heat gonna take it this year. How much are the lakers kickin themselves for lettin shaq go. They go from THE team to not even reaching the playoffs. Pathetic. tysonortiz 04-15-2005, 04:59 PM And dwayne wade is the truth, haha. Sn1 04-16-2005, 10:35 AM whats "above the run" mean... doesnt make sense to me :D :D :D The Fix 04-17-2005, 06:22 PM cavaliers keep on losing but did anyone see tayshauns move on pavlovic with like 1:30 left in the game, it was nice and lebron answered it with a three. it was a good game but lebrons three to tie wasnt even close, it was a terrible play that kinda killed the drama oldgringo 04-17-2005, 06:52 PM cavaliers keep on losing but did anyone see tayshauns move on pavlovic with like 1:30 left in the game, it was nice and lebron answered it with a three. it was a good game but lebrons three to tie wasnt even close, it was a terrible play that kinda killed the drama Stons just keep on winning.

Zo, for all of his diminished skills these days can still play hard-nosed defense. He's my favorite player ever outside of Michael Jordan of course. I hope him nothing but the best...and it's not really hard to D-up Ben Wallace so he shouldn't have life and death struggles with that. All of this being said, the Pistons are still going to win the championship. KillerBlow 04-18-2005, 11:48 PM Zo, for all of his diminished skills these days can still play hard-nosed defense.

Truth 04-19-2005, 11:33 AM Boston Celtics all the way, thats my team. oldgringo 04-19-2005, 11:49 AM Boston Celtics all the way, thats my team. The Celtics are going to be tough in the playoffs. Payton, Davis, Pierce, Walker, LaFrentz is a good starting 5 and they have a decent enough bench. Pierce can be unstoppable at times.

Pierce can be unstoppable at times. i say they are out first round, even thought the pacers are slumping right now its because jermaine o'neal just got back from injury and he just fittin in right now. i say pacers in 6, they will be especially tough cause this is reggies last season.

Can the ref stop the game in basketball? :rofl: oldgringo 04-23-2005, 09:48 PM All I have to say is that the game was amazing and we basically smoked the Sixers in the second half. The law firm of Wallace and Wallace were in good fashion today to step it up in Rip/Chaunceys stead. Ben had like 8 blocks and Sheed couldn't miss from deep. They were a little slow to start but once they got rolling it was a technical beatdown....kind of like your runofthemill Bernard Hopkins fight....the only difference is that the Stons game was exciting. Anyway, this is how it's gonna be for the rest of the playoffs...good luck to the pathetic losers who try and play us. :cool: jack_the_rippuh 04-23-2005, 10:29 PM We'll see how things play out against Miami.. czars_salad 04-23-2005, 10:39 PM indiana is losing --- badly :( cubone13 04-24-2005, 07:35 AM Just want to predict a Nuggets upset of the Spurs in the first round.

Though some of them were BS calls and Gordan stepped up, Noicioni, hell the whole team deserved it, but the wizards aren't gonna go away, it's gonna be a great series probably 7 games and hopefully the bulls bring it home in 7.

You just never know. Dallas definitely has the talent to win out but theyre gonna be on the road. Dirk needs to play better and their defense needs to stop giving up 103 points a game.

The Pistons will beat the Heat in 6 and same with the Spurs. We have finally figured everything out and that swagger is back. Our defense is unreal and our bench is playing lights out. The Heat will lose just like the Lakers lost last year. We'll let Shaq do his thing, we'll limit D-Wade, and we'll lock up everything else to make the rest of their team beat us. Same goes with the Spurs. Duncan will do his thing, Parker and Ginobili will find that it's extremely hard to score...and the rest of our team will simply outclass the rest of the Spurs roster.

Even suggesting that the Spurs would deal with the Stons in 5 is rediculous. Duncans points this year would be like Shaqs 30 and 15 last year. Outside of Duncan, the Spurs dont have one player position for position that is better than the Pistons. They dont have an instant offense/defense guy of the bench like we do in McNice. Their defense, although very good, is still inferior to that of the Stons. We get **** done when it needs to get done. Sheed, Ben, and McNice will limit Duncans impact and our superior bench and all around play will give us the edge in a close 6 game series. I'm positive that there would be a decisive game 5 in which the Stons would impose their defense on the road and would upset the Spurs at home. The Spurs of last year would have stacked up nicely against Detroit, but we absolutely TROUNCED that Lakers team that beat you guys.

Well outside of Shaq and D-Wade, we have the Heat ****ed. They have a relatively weak bench in Doleac, Butler, Dooling...**** that about says it all. We proved last year that we can let Shaq score and he's still somewhat undeciding of the final game outcome. Shaq and D-Wade = Shaq and Kobe only a year older and not as good. Wades inexperience in big game situations, Tayshauns on-ball defense/length, and our weak side D should take care of Wade. Damon Jones and Eddie Jones can both stroke the three and I love Eddie Jones, but they will have a hard time getting off against our perimeter defense (look at Kyle Korver right now...the man led the NBA in 3's this year).

Sir_Jose 05-04-2005, 01:06 AM Please....who just won the defensive player of the year, broke the Pistons record for blocked shots, AND is one of only 5 players ever to record 100 steals and 100 blocks in 5 consecutive seasons? What the **** did Amare do this year besides dunk the ball a lot as a result of Steve Nash? Jose, you gotta get this offensive mindset outta here...Quentin Richardson can make 5 3's a game but he cant D up like Tayshaun can. Once he starts limiting Kobe Bryant in an NBA final and D'ing up the best guys in the league on a regular basis you can come at me like that. Numbers are real cheap man...that entire statement was fugazi... pffft Oh yeah Ben Wallace plays defense and well...well....well. Amare is 22 years old, a freak athlete, has developed a money 15 footer and is getting better by leaps and bounds every day. Yeah your right Q is not better than Prince he just puts up better numbers. Please dont give me that bull**** about him stopping Kobe.

Yeah your right Q is not better than Prince he just puts up better numbers. Please dont give me that bull**** about him stopping Kobe. The Lakers self destructed last year and everyone knows it. False again. Tayshaun has developed into one of the best ON-BALL defenders, as well as weak side (I.E. Reggie Miller block in the ECF's last year). Tayshaun finished 5th in the defensive player of the year voting this year...you aren't giving enough credit for defense. If offense was everything then the Mavs would win it every year. The only good defender on YOUR Suns is Shawn Marion. You know that half-court dominates in the playoffs...exactly why the Spurs will beat your Suns. Take that Q over Tayshaun argument elsewhere. Tayshaun had a career year on BOTH sides of the ball this year and he's getting better every game. But you're right, that 5 game sweep was ALL LAKERS...the Pistons amazing play had NOTHING to do with it. Ben Wallace is better than Amare, I really don't know where you are coming from with the argument. Amare is a freak and a good player, but Ben Wallace is the heart of his team and is the BEST defensive player in the NBA. If Amare was the best offensive player then you could come at me with that argument, but Ben is having a career year in the playoffs and has set team records in the reg. season.

The Lakers also lost Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Derick Fisher and Phil Jackson its a completly different team.. nash had a solid year but john stockton had that type of season year in and year out, where are his mvp's? obviously stats didnt count this year but it was more based on impact, imo shaq had the greater impact. there is no way the heat would be this good without shaq, to argue that they would be is insane. heat are arguably the best team in the east and they are vastly improved from last year. also the impact for detroit wasnt nearly as severe for them as the pacers, wallace only got 5 games... thats it. heat finished ahead of the pistons in the standings and even if you award the pistons the 5 games they might have lost with wallace in suspension they are still tied for tops in the east. i cant believe how even now shaq is overlooked. i guess winning 3 rings, 3 finals mvps and making every team you play on a legit contender doesnt earn you respect from the press when taking into account for mvp voting. the guy only has one ring and he has been dominating since he got into the league. right now iam rooting for the heat to win the title, because it would be a slap in the face to all his doubters. czars_salad 05-10-2005, 10:07 PM nash had a solid year but john stockton had that type of season year in and year out, where are his mvp's? obviously stats didnt count this year but it was more based on impact you answered your own question. it was nash's impact that is more valuable than of shaq's. the suns were like **** last season.... when nash arrived, he provided stability and order in court, was like the general. without nash, amare and the rest played like chickens without their heads -- no direction at all. that was nash's great contribution. however in shaq's case, he may have provided threat in the post. but it was wade who provided firepower and jones with defensive acumen. i mean, shaq is great.... but still his team can enter the playoffs even without him. it is alot different in the sun's case czars_salad 05-10-2005, 10:12 PM look, the real mvp is here: http://rhein-zeitung.de/on/00/05/10/sport/news/shaq-mvp.jpg you got to be kidding me.... this is heat's MVP: http://www.nba.com/media/act_dwyane_wade.jpg The Fix 05-10-2005, 10:18 PM you answered your own question. it was nash's impact that is more valuable than of shaq's. the suns were like **** last season.... when nash arrived, he provided stability and order in court, was like the general. without nash, amare and the rest played like chickens without their heads -- no direction at all. that was nash's great contribution. however in shaq's case, he may have provided threat in the post. but it was wade who provided firepower and jones with defensive acumen. i mean, shaq is great.... but still his team can enter the playoffs even without him. it is alot different in the sun's case then why didnt quentin richardson get some mvp votes? he came to pheonix this year, why not him :rolleyes: shaq is more valuable to his team than any player in the league excluding nobody. without shaq, the heat arent nearly as competitive. as far as amare, he has come into his own this year dont forget this is only his third year in the league, whos to say that the suns success isnt relative to his improvments and not nash's choice to come to pheonix. imo pheonix has to many good players for one to be singled out for an award that represents the player most valuable to his team. czars_salad 05-10-2005, 10:25 PM then why didnt quentin richardson get some mvp votes? he came to pheonix this year, why not him :rolleyes: look at this: you put in q.richardson, amare, marion, johnson, barbosa (instead of nash) and they play like **** you put in d. jones, e.jones, wade, haslem, and mourning (instead of shaq) and they are still very competitive get my point? The Fix 05-10-2005, 10:41 PM look at this: you put in q.richardson, amare, marion, johnson, barbosa (instead of nash) and they play like **** you put in d. jones, e.jones, wade, haslem, and mourning (instead of shaq) and they are still very competitive get my point? maybe the heat would be competitive for a quarter and then amare would abuse mourning for 40 points. player for player the suns guys are better than the heats with the exception of dwayne wade. The Fix 05-10-2005, 10:43 PM you got to be kidding me.... this is heat's MVP: http://www.nba.com/media/act_dwyane_wade.jpg and how many open shots did wade have when teams were double teaming shaq? a whole hell of a lot, thats what shaq brings to a team... shaq could put up 12 points and still have been the deciding factor in a game. czars_salad 05-10-2005, 10:50 PM maybe the heat would be competitive for a quarter and then amare would abuse mourning for 40 points. player for player the suns guys are better than the heats with the exception of dwayne wade. my point is that, the suns are talented indeed, but what's with talent without direction? when you put nash in the bench, the rest of the suns become individual players as what their talents are really are. the heat has alot of players who play excellent team game and alot of them are disciplined team players, with or without shaq. The Fix 05-10-2005, 11:00 PM my point is that, the suns are talented indeed, but what's with talent without direction? when you put nash in the bench, the rest of the suns become individual players as what their talents are really are. the heat has alot of players who play excellent team game and alot of them are disciplined team players, with or without shaq. thats poor coaching not great playing. a coach is supposed to get the most out of each individual player and not let a team collapse when a key player goes down. czars_salad 05-10-2005, 11:08 PM thats poor coaching not great playing. a coach is supposed to get the most out of each individual player and not let a team collapse when a key player goes down. and this is what nash's intangibles show.... not only that his value emanates from his individual skills, but most importantly, he provides leadership and order over his teammates. his coach may lack the consummate skills of stan van gundy, but nash gives more than what his coach ask him to do.... be the player/coach in the court.

Poor fools, they're definitely getting a big man next year. unless they can get a good one in the draft, the sonics will most likely try to keep ray allen before getting a big man. if jerome james could play like he did against sacremento they wouldnt need a big man but he only shows up when he wants to. czars_salad 05-11-2005, 12:44 PM unless they can get a good one in the draft, the sonics will most likely try to keep ray allen before getting a big man. if jerome james could play like he did against sacremento they wouldnt need a big man but he only shows up when he wants to. we share the same observation.... i think they should keep ray allen and add a big man who can play the role of a big man, doesn't have to be dominating but someone with dedication and good work ethics oldgringo 05-11-2005, 12:46 PM Its sad how overlooked Shawn Marion is by Suns fans and people who just speak on the Suns in general. He's their rock...does everything well and is still getting better. The Suns without Nash are still a playoff team, but they'd get bounced in the first or second round... The Heat wouldn't be for real without Shaq. The only good thing Skip Bayless has ever said in his life came when he was speaking about why Shaq didn't win the MVP. Voters are always looking for the seasons overachiever to win the MVP...they constantly overlook Shaq because basketball should be so easy for him because of his size. Nash put up relatively weak numbers for an MVP and is always a liability on defense. Any scoring or strong PG takes Nash to school any day of the week. He had an incredible year for him no doubt, but MVP over Shaq? Not in my book. Shaq had his weakest statistical season ever and still deserves it IMO. The Heat without Shaq are a playoff team too but have life and death struggles with their first round series and get bounced in the second round. Damon Jones banks off his ability to shoot threes as a result of all of the attention being put on Diesel. Eddie Jones is a good perimeter defender but is old now and really relies on the 3-ball and presence of Shaq as well. I've said my peace... oldgringo 05-11-2005, 12:50 PM unless they can get a good one in the draft, the sonics will most likely try to keep ray allen before getting a big man. if jerome james could play like he did against sacremento they wouldnt need a big man but he only shows up when he wants to.

I agree about the Nash/Marion/Amare thing. The thing is, I think Marion is the best 2 way player on that team. If you look at his all around numbers for the last 3 years they are phenominal. Arenas is playing ball this year. I loved him at Zona but I didn't think he'd be **** in the pros because of his ball-handling and range. He proved me wrong though.
