The NBA

I watched both games on Sunday and both were pretty good. Pistons are looking really good right now. Best starting 5 in basketball and now they've solidified their bench too and may just have the deepest bench in the league as well. Pistons will beat the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and will beat the Spurs in the NBA Finals.

I wouldn't exactly say the Pistons have fizzled in the playoffs or that they got lucky against the Lakers. They went to the finals the next year and would have won it had 'Sheed remembered to guard Big Shot Bob on the inbounds pass, then they've been to the Eastern Conference Finals every other year. Phoenix made a HUGE mistake and Dallas didn't help themselves either. Lakers trades were big, but if Bynum and/or Gasol aren't 100%, they aren't going anywhere.

Unless David Stern manipulates the officials again (Bulls/Pistons '91; Lakers/Kings; etc...) the Finals will be Pistons/Spurs, as much as he'd like to see Celtics/Lakers. If we get Celtics/Lakers I'm calling conspiracy right now.

because no one else aid michael to hold their product for 30 seconds.

are the air jordans someone elses shoe, or have i been lied to all these years?

stern isnt the only one who marketed the shite out of jordan, it was a number of companies.

but it was well deserved.

the NBA just lacks "heroes" like back in the day, at least thats what i think.

I'm curious to watch even the East playoffs this year. Like you said, Boston and Detroit is going to go at it, and it's going to be intense. It's amazing Detroit has kept that core together for so long.

The West teams are all showing their weaknesses towards the end. LA pounded the Jazz at home last night, and walked in to the lane for dunk after dunk. The Spurs are on a losing skid. The Rockets have come down from their losing streak (getting blown out two games in a row). You're totally right about Phoenix and Dallas. The Lakers freaked everyone out into trading big names for big names, and it killed both teams. The Spurs...I'd like to write them off, but I can't. They're always dangerous. I think they're f### everyone else. The Lakers will be very very dangerous when Gasol, Ariza, and Bynum all come back. They're winning right now (against Dallas and Utah in the last few days) with no 7 footer! They'll be so deep when the others come back, they'll be scary for the next five or so years. All the guys are locked up in long term deals too. I hope Bynum gels back in with the team, and him and Gasol work things out downlow. That will be the most dangerous front court the league has seen in awhile.

I see LA vs. Celtics in the finals. I'm a huge lakers fan, but I won't even predict the result of that. Conspiracy or not.
