but seriously people need to stop comparing him to other people. he isnt mike,& he definately isnt oscar. but like oscar he will probably have to wait until the end of his career to get his first/only ring.

he isnt mike- he wont get 6- end of story.

No worries Unknown, it's cool, just a fun debate. And by the way, the whole nation is on the Boston-LA bandwagon so it's not just ESPN and I. Go check out SportsNation.

what the fuck are you talking about? Utah doesn't have home court advantage, after their loss and houston's win yesterday houston does. And ESPN has people blinded? Check out this link, http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...?series=uthhou , EVERY single ESPN 'expert' is predicting for Utah to win the series.

I'm going with the lakers. It would be cool to see lakers/celtics in the final.

[NAMushrooms]

I think it comes down to Boston/ Detriot in the east and Lakers/ Spurs in the west. I then think we will get to see that Boston vs. LAL finals. That would be an amazing finals.

celtics over hawks- this just goes without saying

pistons over 76ers- Detroit has a better team with a whole lot more experience and a bad taste in their mouth from the way lebron manhandled them last year

magic over raptors- D howard is a beast and toronto is one more player away from contending

Cavs over Wiz- Lebron is ready to dominate them again and u know he's been waiting for this ever since stevenson said he was overrated. dont people learn when u talk shit about great players they use it as fuel to destroy u. Example look at micheal jordan and kobe bryant they feast on shit talkers.

Lakers over nugs- kobe finally has a TEAM around him and denver plays absolutely no defense

Hornets over Mavs- huge fan of CP3. has the potential to be the most exciting series CP3 has to stay out of foul trouble and hope that dirk dissapears again in the palyoffs

Spurs over suns- another great series this should be a finals preview but in the crazy west its a first round matchup. Have to go with duncan and crew

jazz over houston- jazz great team at home and a real sleeper team not to sure why everyone discounts them already guess its the fact that they play in utah. houston has no heart and will fade away like they always do under pressure they will never win anything until tracy mcgrady mans up and plays some defense.

We have no heart? During the 22 game winning streak all we displayed was heart and emotion...Yao is out, which really hurts us, if he wasn't I think we'd have a good chance of winning this series, but most likely Boozer is just gonna tear us up again like he did last year.

[420 gator]

22 game win streak was very impressive but that was the reg season and now its a whole new season. remember last season up 2-0 and then going home and tracy dosent have that killer instinct plays NO defense always complaining about some kind of injury at this time in the season everybody's hurtin

[Goopster24]

Why are people still on the Spurs bandwagon? What is there to like? They have done nothing THAT great this season. Stop with the experience crap and defending world champs crap. Fine, Manu is coming back but still. No switch to flip, I don't believe in that.

[NAMushrooms]

Im not a spurs fan but I do see why people show them respect. they have won 2 NBA titles in the past 3 years. They are a physical, hard defense team which is a change in pace from most teams out west. In the playoffs you see a lot more 1/2 court offense and thats where the spurs excel. Thats why Phoenix when out and got Shaq, to help rebound and to run offense through in the post.

Spurs will definitely show up to play.

I'm a Houston fan, trust me, last year especially McGrady pissed everyone off in Houston, but the thing is did you see the news conference after we ended up losing the series? The man was fucking CRYING, I don't think he made the back injuries up, he's never been out of a first round series and he knows better than anyone that if he doesn't get out of the first round that's going to be his label until he dies, 'Tracy McGrady - Good basketball player, but never made it out of a first round playoff series'.
