2008 NBA Finals

Nathan · 05-12-2008, 09:50 AM

The NBA Finals is coming to a close. Who will get in the NBA Finals and win the Championship?

Well in my option I have always love to saw the Lakers played because it involved Kobe Bryant who just won the MVP. And he's the best player in the NBA among them who's second to Jordan. Every time he's on the floor he would always give them something to say "ahh" and "ohh", "damn". Kobe is everything u wanted him to be. And there's a chance they might get another shot at the championship but unfortunately he had his back sprained, but who knows, Kobe will be back before u know it and to get another ring to his collection and win another MVP in the Finals. However I also liked the way the Spurs played and to said i'm impressed that there are chances the Spurs will win it again...

Sharky99 · 05-12-2008, 10:24 AM

Well it only the second round.. but hmmm the Lakers are favored to come out of the West but will we see either Detroit or Boston in the Finals?? Both of them will probably clash in the East final... have to see....

farewell65 · 05-12-2008, 03:14 PM

Boston!

Cowpuppy · 05-12-2008, 06:18 PM

looking like New Orleans and Detroit or Boston

authentic · 05-12-2008, 07:31 PM

New Orleans !

Kobe can't win championship without Shaq.

DVDFreaker · 05-12-2008, 09:10 PM

I can see Boston winning it all or maybe the Spurs but I sure hope the Lakers choke and get kicked out of the playoffs, fuck the Lakers! I am rooting for my Magic to get to the finals but I dont' really see it happening since they choked a 15 point lead to the Pistons at home

Huge Jazz fan here! I used to have season tix for 3 years but didn't this year. I'm actually going to be heading off for the Lakers/Jazz game 6 here in a little bit, and I can hardly contain myself. I thorougly appreciated last year when Jazz made it to West Finals though it will be EXTREMELY tough to get there this year. I have seen Kobe many times (he hates coming to Utah) and next to watching MJ here for years, Kobe is the greatest player I have watched in person.

Your team lost, sucks to be you!

hohDougRN · 05-17-2008, 03:41 AM

Yeah, it does suck to be me tonight. I am very attached and emotional about Jazz. I am still proud to be Jazz fan and will always appreciate watching some great basketball games as I have been able to the last few weeks.

hohDougRN · 05-17-2008, 10:10 PM

Doug <---still moping and feeling sorry for self today. Kinda depressed today. I just feel very connected to Jazz and know everyplayer on a very informal basis and I have worked with Matt Harprings wife Amanda as an MD at St Marks hospital here. I had the oportunity to spend a night over there with them and my ex wife and me. We're almost exact same age and like same things and I have very good professional relationship with Mandy at the hospital.
I have always tried to research new players coming and going from the franchise but it seems I have more emotional connection to the guys, and even Larry Miller the owner. I have a tremendous respect of that man and his integrity. So, yes Im sad (and even sobbed when others weren't around) but my anticipation is already building up and get working on scouting young players going and watching workouts fo draft picks. Yeah--the more I think about it the more I feel like a Utah Jazz roady

Sucks to be me too, my team lost also (Orlando Magic)

Phillywis · 05-18-2008, 06:44 AM

I'll go with Boston and Lakers face off.... then Boston finish them off in game 7.

hohDougRN · 05-20-2008, 06:23 AM

I continue to be amazed like tonight when San Antonio knocked off Hornets in New Orleans. Seems like spurs just seems to find a way every year. I feel this year's second round of NBA playoffs have been one of the most entertaining I can remember. I'm sure the conference finals and NBA finals will also be to close to call for me. any of the 4 teams left could easily go all the way.

Phillips · 05-20-2008, 06:46 AM

Boston!!!

Nathan · 05-31-2008, 10:21 AM

The Time had come, our dreams had come sure, Prepare for the Finals: Laker vs Boston. I know this is going to be a tough game for the Laker and Boston. they were rivals ages ago back in the '60.

Boult · 05-31-2008, 01:47 PM

Spurs could have tied and won the Game 5 of Spurs vs Laker. Stupid referees!

Kobe is nothing to me!

GO Boston GO!

I don't care if this wish didn't come true but I wish Laker goes in the hole and can't get out of it.

GO Boston GO!

Boult · 05-31-2008, 01:51 PM

Sharky99 · 06-02-2008, 10:52 AM

Hey! hope your feeling better should be a good game afterall, Lakers and Celtics. Hang in there buddy!

hohDougRN · 06-03-2008, 01:16 AM

I did lock in my season tix for next season though for the Jazz, so I am already in high anticipation and cannot wait. I hope the get back to the finals here in next few years. The quantity and quality of high competition is amazing and just to make it to the finals would be a great accomplishment.

Gemma · 06-04-2008, 08:21 PM

guess what?

my friend got me tickets for Game Three which will be held on my birthday so we are gonna drive 17 hours down there to Los Angeles for the game and the post game events on June 10

Man, I am soooo excited!!!!!!
