I dunno....this LeBron looks a lot different to the LeBron of 07. Anyways back then he was playing with the shitty Cavaliers but now he has two All-Stars by his side to pick up the slack if things are slipping a little on his end. Will be interesting.
I'd put the Heat fans up there (or lack of them) as well. I actually looked at the stands more carefully this time when I watched their game vs NY. I heard last year that they actually made the seats white by placing the towels over them to make it appear that it was a fully packed arena but the attendance rate even around Finals time was really shitty. I looked carefully yesterday and I swear like 1/3 of the seats were empty. How??!! This is the Heat we are talking about. The best and most entertaining team in the league. Miami funs suck man...Atlanta has the worst fans in the whole league it seems. They hardly ever cheer for their team unless they are dunking it.
Looks like Philly is going to get by Chicago. I feel bad for all those Chicago fans with Rose going out and all.
Lakers vs Nuggets next!
I'm quite impressed with how Dallas have coped in the first two games actually. A bit more luck and it could have been 1-1 or dare I say 2-0 Dallas atm. Both games went down to the wire. OKC did what they had to do and defend home court. Dallas just gotta do the same. Not over yet. If there's one thing I learnt in basketball is that old people championship experience>crazy ass youth and talent. Then again, the retirement home basketball team next to my house never had to play against Kevin Durant so...
While I'm inclined to agree with you, with out that momentum of wreckin it on the road, I just don't see it happening. going 4-1 the rest of the series is a lofty goalI'm quite impressed with how Dallas have coped in the first two games actually.

also it doesn't help that historically that generally teams down 0-2 in a series basically never win lol. but you are champs for a reason so we'll see.
How come? I think personally that the Clippers will pull through because of Chris Paul. That guy will not lose man! The Clippers have to try and win both home games though. They don't really want to rely on a game 7 in Memphis so....
MEM-LAC definitely the most intriguing series out there in my eyes. Knicks will lose. Could be a blowout if they don't get their shit sorted out early in the game. I remember them playing BOS last year and they couldn't get out of the gate. I overall see Miami winning 4-1. Knicks will probably take game 4. Dallas will win I think. They've come far too close. They deserve a little luck and the home crowd might be enough to see them through. Still have OKC taking the series though. This has been the closest fought so far.
What would you suggest.
lol he's like Sonya, he's really good but still hasn't won anything yet
The first round on the whole has been pretty shitty thus far. I knew Miami would blow NYK out the water but I thought Dallas might take this game. Well at least we can confirm these teams through for the next round: SAS (no way they're losing), OKC and MIA
I'm going to say 4-1 Miami. They'll get complacent and New York might just do enough to steal one. But yeah they are only prolonging a certain death anyways. Bulls have no excuse if they don't win this series. Even if they do it's a tall order asking them to beat Boston/Atlanta next round. However for most of the year they did get stuff done without D Rose and they still managed to secure home court for the entirety of the play-offs. You just never know...
