Conference Finals!

May 17, 2008 13:29

The Lakers had a nineteen point lead but somehow the Jazz had managed to cut it down to two. Whoa, this was one interesting game. My sister and I were under our breaths until the clock was at 0.0 After that, we were crazily jumping up and down, dancing, laughing and (somewhat) screaming all at the same time ( Read more... )

Kung ako lang ang tatanungin, I'd go for either the Hornets or the Spurs. The Hornets, because I'd love Chris Paul to be in the West Finals (and bandwagoner rin ako nila hehe, and I sooo want them to beat the Spurs), and the Spurs, just so the Lakers can show the world that they are indeed, the better team. That they are not just Kobe. With all respect to the Hornets, though their playoff run has nothing been short of amazing, beating the Spurs, one of the ultimate "team" teams of the generation (aside from the Pistons of course, hehe) will certainly be a hallmark of theirs this season.

Looking forward to the Finals, it will be a gift for that Stern if it's the Lakers going to the Finals. Either the Pistons or the Celtics will give them a good run for their money. I doubt Cleveland could, although with LeBron anything could happen. Also, either Detroit or Boston is a classic, post-80s showdown (or in the case of Detroit, a chance for revenge. Remember '04?)

May the best team win :D

yes naman better team ang lakers. dahil sinabi mo un, hindi ko aasarin detroit. pero, GRABE ASTIG SI TAYSHAUN NUNG LAST GAME NILA VS ORLANDO! His block reminded me of the Reggie Miller block. Astig!

I dislike the Celtics. bow. :))

Pistons' MVP ng second round si Prince, baybeh. Haha, tatlong trademark plays! First yung block nya kay Maurice Evans, second yung game winner over Dwight Howard, and yung block kay Hedo. Oh yeaaaaah DEEE-TROIT BASKETBALL. Pero kung, KUNG, Pistons ang mag-champions (you bristle at the notion, I know :P), that block of Turkoglu will certainly look more impressive than the one on good ol' Reggie. Hehe.

If the Pistons steal a game on the Boston Garden...errr, TD Banknorth whatever, the Celts are done. Road kill. If they are the champs, they're flukes. XD Haha galit.

Spurs vs. Lakers: Here's hoping Kobe will make the Spurs and Bruce Bowen look old. HAHAHA. Tony Parker will dust off the old legs of Fisher. But then, I hope Mamba contains Ginobili. Sya yung killer eh. Pero if the Lakers' bench don't appear soon enough (*ahem* Farmar *ahem*), it will be tough, tough for them.

oh yeah go tayshaun! Super natatak sa utak ko ung block vs miller kasi out of nowhere biglang sumulpot si tayshaun. aww poor hedo. forever ng nakatatak ung blocked shot na un. um okay word of the day ko ung natatak :))

Because you mentioned the name of Bruce Bowen, I'm thinking that it's better for the Lakers to go against new orleans. I'm kind of worried kasi Bowen knows how to guard Kobe. And that ain't isn't good.

As to Farmar, I think the reason why his presence wasn't felt that much in this series is that Deron Williams kind of owned him real good. But that should challenge Jordan to do better in the next series.

Oh. Ewan ko but I'd really like the Lakers to meet San Antonio sa West Finals. But that would mean shutting the door on Chris Paul. So 'wag na lang. Hehe. Pero challenge di ba? XD

By the way, I'm rooting for the guys from Nawlins. :P Paul, pretty much unstoppable, and so is Bryant. Jordan (Farmar, that is, hahaha) was owned by Deron Williams, you say? Eh papaano naman kay Chris Paul? :P If Trevor (Ariza, that is, again hahaha) weren't injured lang eh. He's one of those role players I like. David West will have difficulty against Lamar Odom, and vice versa. V-Rad and Stojakovic will cancel each other out, both can't guard their own cookie jars. XD Pau is more offensively gifted than Chandler pero that's not to say he should leave Tyson - look out! Alley-oop from Paul to Chandler!

Dagdag ko lang, I'm rooting for New Orleans to win against San Antonio. :P Might go misinterpret it. And neutral ako sa West Finals if they do face each other. :P

And Fisher didn't mentor Paul, so look for Paul to take advantage, and for LA to coordinate their defenses accordingly.
