Man I'm a little scared after watching the Nets demolish Chicago tonight. Plus the Raptors' crap form in the past 4 games.

We'll see what happens. But the Bulls are such suckers haha, the Wizards to the Heat, what a trade.

 

[rony31]

as soon as the Nets won my friend got 2 tickets to Game1 on Sat/Sun off eBay haha gonna be ****in sick, even if they are 300 level and we're paying like $75 each for tickets worth 50 at most, there was too much incentive... Raps Atlantic champs, 1st playoff appearance in years, VC being booed to the point of no return... ahhh I'm salivating

Amazing match up, I've never been so excited for the play-offs. Raps definitly have a chance of making the Eastern finals/finals.

You'd better be going topless with something funny written across your boobies so you can get on TV.

PS: Alex, there are 7 teams with worse records than the Bobcats! Quite a new look, yet hurting your lottery chances.

Still a dissapointing season in my eyes. The fact that we didn't finish in the top 8 in the weakest conference in the history of the NBA is but at least we're improving with each season (:/). Next year we're gonna make a play-off push. Oh by the way, tonight was Bernie Bickerstaff's last game as Bobcats coach :Carlos*o: :Carlos*o:

Oops.

Yours looks better too.

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

May my Clippers rest in peace for this offseason. I can only hope we come back healthier this next time. ...a free agent or 2 wouldn't hurt.

You're a Knicks fan so it's understandable that you don't know the way the playoffs are done have changed. ALL rounds are now best of 7 series including the first round.

Funny.

Anyway I'm excited about taking on Vince, but at the same time I think it's going to be a tough series for the Raptors, since we have almost no playoff experience.

They are holding all kinds of strategy sessions and scouting and meetings to prepare for the playoffs. Pretty exciting atmosphere at the ACC these days.

I'll think about it in the meantime my friend msged me saying he wanted to make signs that said "Shake n Bake" and "That Just Happened", claiming they'd make it on tv. God damn I ******* hate Will Ferrell outside of Old School

Will Ferrell is a god.

no, you're just a typical college student douche who feels the need to rub his balls every time he comes out with a ****ty new movie. trust me, I used to be in denial about him sucking, but Anchorman opened my eyes... a lot.

Frank the Tank > Elf + Ricky Bobby + Anchorman etc.

Not at all, I liked him before I was in college, TAKE THAT MOTHERF*CKER

I agree with you though Frank the Tank is one of his best characters but COME ON Ron Burgundy is just legendary. I would rate them like this:

Anchorman > Old School > Talladega Nights > Elf > Blades of Glory

His movies have been getting less funny but he's been fantastic in every single one of them. He's just a really funny actor and I enjoy his style of stupid humor very much.

I got bored and did a little research of my own tonight regarding the Bobcats season and why I think BK should be relegated to benchwarmer or be traded RIGHT AWAY:

Record with BK playing in between 0 and 19 minutes: 20-23
Record with BK playing in between 20 and 48 minutes: 13-26
Record with Felton playing in between 35 and 48 minutes: 28-27

I think the numbers are clear don't you? About why I split the minutes at the 19 and 20. Well like I put it on the Bobcats forum that I visit:
"The reason why I split it at 19 minutes is because I feel if a player is in there for 19 minutes he doesn't impact the game as much as if he was in there for 20 minutes. I know that sounds silly but think about it. If a player is in there for 20 minutes it likely means that he played a large part in at least two quarters. More oblique numbers like in between 0-19 mean that he was in there for short 5 minute periods to give the starter a rest."

There are some guys on there stubborn enough to disprove those numbers and just say that they are coincidence . I honestly don't know how they can call themselves fans of the Charlotte Bobcats. Some have talked about trading Felton because he's not performing at the poing. THE MAN HASN'T EVEN HAD ONE SEASON AT THE PG SPOT BY HIMSELF!!! He's been forced to play SG most of the time. When BK went down this season and Felton got to play PG he performed admirably averaging 14.9 points, 8.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds (he was averaging 14.8, 10.1, 3.8 before Bernie decided to trade for McGinnis and started playing Felton as SG again , his averages went to 14.9 points [he was playing more SG so he was getting more shots] 6.9 assists [almost 4 assists per game decline] and 3.1 rebounds). Our record during this span you ask? 16-21, not stellar but way better than what we do with BK playing.

I am SO F*CKING EXCITED that moron won't be our coach anymore

Woah dude, chill out. Old School was good, but I didn't think it was fantastic. I like all the movies to some extent, but I haven't seen Elf. I'd rate them like this:

Anchorman > Old School > Blades of Glory > Talladega Nights

Blades of Glory I really liked, but a lot of the jokes were similar, it was all about them being worried about looking gay, but I thought Ferrell's character was fantastic. He's just a dynamic comedic presence.

I'm no NBA Expert at all, I follow College Basketball much more, and look to the NBA more with a view to the NBA Draft. Even when my team is good I'm not a hardcore follower like I can be with my NFL and MLB teams. Either way, I'll make some ****ty predictions:

ROUND 1:

Pistons over Magic
Cavs over Wizards
Raptors over Nets
Heat over Bulls

Mavs over Warriors
Suns over Lakers
Spurs over Nuggets
Jazz over Rockets

ROUND 2:

Pistons over Heat
Cavs over Raptors

Mavs over Jazz
Spurs over Suns

ROUND 3:

Pistons over Cavs
Mavs over Spurs

Finals:

Mavs over Pistons

And the funny thing is I dislike the Mavs a lot more this year than I did last year. I also recognize the possibility for a ton of upsets. The Wiz aren't upsetting anyone, and the Lakers probably aren't, but any other underdog could win not just one, but multiple series'.

Actually the Lakers and Wizards have better chances of winning their series than the Magic do against the Pistons. Like Steven A. said tonight "I don't think the Magic will win TWO QUARTERS this ENTIRE SERIES, TWO QUARTERS!"

can't wait till tipoff between the raps and the nets at 12:30pm

here are my round 1 predictions
pistons over magic in 5 - grant hill is gonna win one against his old team (I hope)
cavs over wiz in 4 - it would've been interesting to see the arenas-james 'who's choking at the line' feud
raps over nets in 6 - vince back in town.. it's gonna be very loud at the ACC and I mean LOUD!!
heat over bulls in 6 - I still think the bulls should've traded for gasol if there was any truth to the rumor

mavs over warriors in 6 - nellie is gonna make it tough against his old team
suns over lakers in 6 - suns are gonna win but kobe is going to make it interesting
spurs over nuggets in 5 - playoff time is when the spurs are at their best
rocktes over utah in 6 - both t-mac and yao healthy finally

the only matchup that might be an upset is the mavs-warriors series...
