I'm in the USA and just got back from Verizon Center.
My Wizards beat the Raptors.
Sent them back to Canada losers.:yup:
Earl "The Pearl" Monroe's jersey was retired and we celebrated the 10th year anniversary of the Verizon Center.
It was a great night.
omg finally, i was wondering if there was nba threads on FST :D, i go for houston rockets, and i dont get to regularly watch their games cause ESPN choose to only host cavs and spurs games for some reason.. man i hate them :(
how does everyone feel about the celtics or will the spurs repeat :)
Orlando fan for a loooooooooong time. Finally they are having a great season. But more important, they are playing like a team. Its not just about howard, everyone contributes, sometimes nelson, sometimes lewis, and even turkoglu. I hope they will get to the finals, if not this year, then in the next few years for sure. GOOO Orlando.
i like LA LAKERS but i dont watch NBA that much now
I like Basketball and regularly check what's happening in the NBA...I have many to teams choose but this season i hope Phoenix Suns will get the ring....
It is too early to predict but i think Phoenix suns and Boston Celtics will make it to the finals....:)
I dont see anyone who can beet San Antonio in the west, so i see them in the finals, but in the east there will be a battle between boston, cleveland, detroit and orlando, i hoped chicago would be better this season, but they are struggling.

:( duncan goes down, and doesnt return for the whole game.. hope its nothing to serious, he is a crucial members of the spurs
they say its nothing serious :) http://www.nba.com/nba_news/duncan_inj_071204.html
2 times a week i can watch a game, and there are several nba -action programs with highlights of most of the games every week.
i like the teams with pointguards as stars. Like the Nets with Jason Kid and Phoenix suns with Steve Nash. I also like the playing style from Jason Williams, but since he moved to the heat he's becoming a more 'styled and structured' PG and the funfactor is less. Maybe he's more effective for the team now but i liked the genuis unconventional style wich he entered the NBA over the disciplined style he's playing now.
He is playing pretty bad now in the Heat, they all depend on how Wade is playing. I think they will get very very hard in the playoffs this year, probably they won't.Quote:

i can pretty much watch all the games i want :D with the nba league pass :)
and who do you guys think will make the playoffs this year? my guesses for the east are boston, orlando, detroit, cleveland, chicago(come on they've got to get to their form from last season sooner or later), toronto, indiana and either milwaukee or new jersey and for the west are spurs, pheonix, dallas, utah, hornets, rockets, denver, lakers/warriors
well its just who i think could make it to the playoffs
The Lakers are my favorite team, but I'm not paying much attention these days because it looks like it's going to be a
very long time before they are contenders again.
I'm from Poland... I like Cleveland Cavaliers and my favourite player is LeBron James... I don't have any NBA TV, or CANAL+, i'm watching games on computer :D
B-BALL 4 EVER :happy:
Interesting, you usually don't see too many Polish people being fans of the NBA.Quote:

If the coach doesn't correct that kind of behaviour the rockets will strugle even to get into the playoffs. So much waste of talent. If he gets mcgrady to play for the team, they will be a force to reckon with.
My predicted final: Celtics vs Suns
Just saw Miami vs Phoenix last night.... GREAT game!
Completely two different halfs from the Rockets, first half, great play, a lot of actions and assists, the second half it all disappeared, no motion offense, nothing. Their coach is pretty bad, i dont like his style of coacing, with no trained plays in the offense, only a lot of running, and when you get the ball just shoot.Quote:

Does anyone know where one can find a lot of nba games [full games not clips] for download. Don't get much nba coverage in my place.
Usenet has a lot of games, pretty much right after they're finished. Most of it posted in the alt.binaries.multimedia group. :shifty:Quote:

I watched a nice game between the 20 - 2 Celtics and the Detroit Pistons.
Chauncey wins the game with .1 seconds left with a pump fake getting Tony Allen in the air. He won cuz Allen fouled him.
2 foul shots - game over.
It was the Celts first home loss. Those were two damn good teams battling down to the wire.
My Wizards just lost 2 in a row.:(
the celts are going hard this seasons, well it expected them to, rox finally win some games :( lets hope it carries on, bloody mcgrady
raps are 15-15. not as well as I hoped for them to be

yeah true Mooby, most people didnt expect them to gel that quickly, 3 superstars complimenting each other perfectly, now if they only had a good centre...
