Knicks are looking fantastic. Melo has been amazing the past two months. I sincerely doubt they can beat the Heat, but doubt it'd be a sweep either!

Same crap, different year. Nuggets have nobody. What that means? Early exit in the playoffs as usual.

Lets see what happens. I'm impressed 3-0 over the Celts. Eastern conf finals could very well be NY vs Miami.

Pacers/Bulls will present a nice matchup next round.

The Knicks shooting was always the thing that could give the Heat (or any NBA team trouble). If they shoot lights out and Carmelo does his thing, they'll be very hard to stop. But the Heat have the best player in the past 20 years playing insanely amazing basketball, so well, maybe itll be like those old knicks bulls series where the knicks play well enough to trick the fan base into thinking it has a shot.

Not to get ahead or ourselves, but the next round will be bulls/pacers. Heat will take care of the Bulls. Just too much for them without Rose. Heat will take care of business.

Pacers. They're good. Going to be an interesting series of knicks/pacers. Wouldn't surprise me if they take the series.

Def. wouldnt surprise me, but if the Knicks play like they have been the past two months, we should beat up on em. If the knicks go back to their passive defense, stagnant offense days, then they can take us. But it does seem like they've figured something out these past couple months. Pacers have talent, so who knows. I agree the heat will probably sweep chicago. Maybe 5

We'll see. Pacers are a good bball team. I would love to crush the Knicks in the ECF if it happens.

And for fun. the nuggets could have used a guy like Melo today. Total dysfunctional team without a superstar for today and series.

[TomServo]

Screw Melo. stan kroenke tried and tried to give him everything he needed to succeed and he (Melo) failed. if stan kroenke had given the once Awesome Avalanche half the Love he has given to the Nugs maybe the neglected Avs wouldnt be so pathetic.
its obvious kroenke loves basketball with all the attention he gives to the Nugs. sucks how he doesnt give a rats ass about the Avs. Cept for the $ they generate.

[TomServo]

Anyway. when the playoffs started i told my kids there is no way in hell the league would let the the no name- no stars nuggets get anywhere near the finals or even the semi finals.

We had him for several years. 16-30 in the playoffs with melo and 6-24 if you don't count the '09 run. **** him.

I feel bad for your kids. Take away their dreams

Anyone who can justify fandom of the nuggets after this season needs a reality check. 57 wins and the top seed in the conference losing one of its best players? First round exit. Clearest path to the finals the team would have ever got and it does its usual impersonation of the Chargers from around 2006-2009

Whatever helps you sleep at night. This isn't a league or alleged conspiracy issue. The Nuggets are playing like ****. David Stern can't play defense for them.

[bombay]

Actually the Nuggets looked like the team that was so succesful in the regular season for much of the game last night. They had every opportunity to win. I think they're going to be ok. Everybody looks like they're getting back in sync with each other.

[SoCalBronco]

Chicago wins a wild one in 3 OT.

[TheChamp24]

The Warriors just shot ridiculously well the past 2 games. 60% and 52%? Yeah, thats not going to continue. Even with playing crappy defense, most teams will only shoot 45%.

[bombay]

Let's go Nuggets! They have to have this one, and I think they'll get it. It looked like Faried is back physically the other night, and Ty looked like his February self. Let's play our game, and to hell with the **********s.

[24champ]

Spurs will put the Lakers down for good soon.

Disaster of a season.

Lakers, you and the bucks can get the couch warm for us. Then probably rehire Phil in the offseason, you lucky bastards.

Celebrity row completely empty. "Fans" leaving in the 3rd quarter. Typical laker fans

Jack and Andy Garcia were around till the end of the game.

I'm sure fans left the building in the 3rd quarter, just like any other fanbase would when their team is getting blown out in the deciding game. Not much to cheer for this year.
