The Nuggets!
Oh wait...
Celtics are the best team left...for whatever that is worth.
Who voted for Dallas or Minnesota? Come forth cowards and reap your well deserved praise or scorn!
I voted for Minnesota. As a Lynx fan, I felt obligated to. :lol:

Now that is some loyalty to the owner.
Do you live in Minnesota?
I do not. When I was first getting into the WNBA, I more or less randomly picked them. :blush:

Hah! Good choice, they are winners (unlike the Timberwolves)
Whew... that game was more exciting than it should be. Celtics need to play better defense.
Tim, I am happy to see you have stopped saying "we" when referring to your favourite sports teams.

I voted for the Mavs.
Went with the one I've heard of, celtic.

Do they? Pacers' entire schtick is about out scoring the opponent. The Celtics have done it once with a lot of rusts on their knees. Surely, they can do it 3 more times. I don't think the Pacers have more in there.
Go Sonics!

The Pacers are red hot. They will cool off and the Celtics will win easily.
Do you follow the Mavs, Rockets or Spurs Valmy?
Luka is an assassin and I am not looking forward to my Celtics having to face him in the finals.

Not actively. But I live here so I hear about them all the time anyway :lol:

The Mavs fans agree. They are already planning their victory party against the Timberwolves, they are sure it will be super easy.
Not easy but probably a sweep against Timberwolves.
I am not sure how they match up against Boston, but Luka is hard to bet against.

The reason they think it will be easy is because, according to them anyway, the Timberwolves are choosing to just let Luka do his thing and gamble they can stop the rest of the team and this is a stupid strategy. But I am not watching the series so I don't know how true this is.

The bits I have seen look like they are trying to guard him. But he is so good it might look like they are not. On the game winning shot a couple of days ago, he broke the defender's ankles twice before he made the shot.
It was only the first game, but I enjoyed that. :menace:

I was not able to watch it but by all reports the Celtics' offence is a thing of beauty
Now that the Patriots are finally crap, the Sports Gods are going to give Jimmy Olsen a basketball dinasty? What kind of unspeakable offerings has he made?
The Celtics have always been good.
I mean, they were expected to win, so.... :hmm:
Enjoy it Jimmy.
All Boston teams are evil
Glad to see the Celtics put the Lakers back in the 2nd place.

The Lakers are evil-er.
By the way it was kind of funny how the Mavs fans just quit talking after game 1. The resignation was palpable through the entire rest of the series.

Whoops.
It's too bad the Mavs had injury problems going into the series. Boston would likely have still won, but the games would have been a bit more competitive.
I think we are talking about a dynasty in Boston now. That team really plays well together. It's nice to see a team dominate without playing hero ball.

A lot of talking heads picked against us! :mad:
