Originally: Is Paul Pierce the Kane Cornes of the NBA Media?

Geez he's saying some silly things recently. And he's getting a reputation as the type of guy to say anything for a headline or a bit of controversy. Some people believe he's holding a grudge, some believe he's just clueless.

It's very similar to Kane Cornes here in Aus. It's not to late Paul. Use your brain and earn back your reputation.

Are you following the NBA hub season, P35?

I could start an NBA thread, but there's no point if no one is going to post anything.

I've been following, yes.

Some quick thoughts:
* I'm really disappointed with Houston. I know it's LeBron, but they should have done a little better. They embarrassed themselves, especially in game 5.

* I was happy to see Portland make the playoffs, but also disappointed the went out in 5. Will they keep 'Melo?

* The Rockets/Thunder series was great. After the CP3/Wes trade and all. Thought CP3 was humble and I think would have done a better job against the Lakers.

* The Nuggets have been amazing. Coming back from 3-1 against the Jazz and maybe going to do it again against the Clippers. Unreal if they do it.

* The Clippers.... my gosh. They lack heart. Can they beat the Lakers if they get through the Nuggets?

* Milwaukee are probably the most disappointing team of all. I had doubts they could win it all, but to go out in the second round, and in 5 games. Very uninspiring end. Will Giannis still get the MVP? It's based of pre-hub form, so probably.

* I thought the Magic were brave.

* The Heat have been surprising.

* Philly and the Pacers not putting up a fight in round 1 was disappointing. I know there were injury concerns, but still.

* The Nets did well to even make the playoffs. With a new coach and Kyrie and KD coming into the lineup, they might go further next year.

* The Celtics/Raptors series was great. The Raps were on the ropes and the C's should have knocked them out earlier. Some wild OT games and buzzer beaters made it a 7 game battle.

* I think the C's have done well. But I think their lack of a big power forward/center will get them.

* I guess it all comes down to, who can beat the Lakers. I'll be happy for LAL to win it for Kobe. If the Celtics or Heat managed to go all the way, that'd be an alright outcome too. I've gone off the Clippers, but I feel like they are a tougher matchup for the Lakers, but it'd be nice to see how the Nuggets go.

I was going to say maybe the Celtics/Raptors deserved to be a later series, but I guess that's not true, because it's based on where they qualified, right?


I see you seem to agree with the Lakers' favouritism. Their performances so far haven't backed it up.

I currently reckon it's hard to predict the results of individual NBA games, though. It feels like in many games the fair result would be a draw, which of course is not possible.

Clippers 61-59 Nuggets with about 9:00 left in Q3. (Series at 3-3.)

And now 61-62.

Clippers in a spot of bother...

Clippers 67-73 Nuggets, with about 5:00 left in Q3.

Lucky I didn't put any money on the Clippers for the title.

Wowee! Shocked

Paul George. That's what they call him. "Playoff P".

More like Pandemic P Rolling Eyes

So what now, P35?

Do you reckon the Celtics can come back?

Am I ignoring the Lakers at my peril? They are short-priced favourites for the championship.

Can't see anyone beating LA. Have felt that way all along. I just hope the Nuggets can make a series of it.

Can the Celtics come back? Not sure. It's not like they've been disgraced tho. I expect them to push it to six games, but I dont think they'll be able to win the series.

I also think the Heat are a bigger challenge for LA than the Celtics are.

I like this Heat team too.

Boston Celtics pull one back.

Now Miami Heat lead 2-1.

They looked a bit shaky there in the end. Luckily they'd put a big enough lead on the scoreboard.
