My Lightning lost out while we were at nationals, and the best I can root for in the NBA are the Heat (surprise). Although there is always the Rays and the IRL.

Tortured Philadelphia Fan: No Cup, No Title, No Trophy, No Ring Since 1983 :ahh:

This Miami chicago series is getting tough. When Dwayne hit the ground, I thought of him doing that commercial where he kept getting up after falling down. This time it took like 5 minutes. This is going to hurt the play of the heat. But that amazing pass he made to Alonzo Mourning a few plays before was AMAZING.

Re: Official 2006 NHL and NBA Playoff Thread
 

originally being from colorado, i've gotta be plugging my teams. i've been an overly dedicated fan of the avs since even before they won the cup in 96. i've got 3 star player jerseys. Sakic, Roy, and Forsberg. sadly, i cant wear forsberg anymore (philly got to him i guess). i'm very glad they knocked out dallas though.

also, every morning during nationals i'd wake up in the hotel, rush to the door to get the free usa today. i'd rip out the sports section to see if the avs had won, and if edmonton had knocked out detroit yet. on saturday they didnt have the paper, and the tv in the lobby had some local news on it and we left before sports even happened.

Get over it! WAAAA!! ;)

Cleveland hasn't won anything since 1964. I challenge ANY city to beat that level of futility. Fate does not smile kindly upon my sports town. Where's the media attention for Cleveland now? People write stories about Boston and Chicago and their "curses", and now that they've won, you hear nothing about Cleveland.

WHEN we win and the media comes a' callin to kiss our posteriors, I hope the teams tell the mediots to take a hike.

Apparently not, WINGS DOWN IN 6!

Jose Theodore=beast (50 saves on 52 shots in Game 5 of the Colorado-Dallas series, 3 OT wins in the series)
Sakic, Brunette, and Hejduk are looking pretty unstoppable right now on offense too.

Re: Official 2006 NHL and NBA Playoff Thread
 

Im going to be persecuted for saying this, but I like the new NHL. Pre-strike, who ever thought that the Top 4 seeds in a conference would be upset in the first round? Who also thought that the #8 seed would play all around better than a #1 seed?

If you don't know who I support in the NHL by now, just look at my picture. :)

Oh, and nobody expected anything out of the Pacers this year after the first 2 months of the season, especially after Ron Artest decided to have his brain fart.

Re: Official 2006 NHL and NBA Playoff Thread
 

I am a huge Pistons fan and I am hoping that the Cavs advance so that the best starting five in the nba, and of all time, can show "King James" how its done. Plus I want Mason to have the chance to announce Deeeeeeeeeeeeetroit Basketbaaaaaaaaalllllll!

Re: Official 2006 NHL and NBA Playoff Thread
 

OH YEAH!
:18 into OT 7-6 Sabres win!

One who realized that their favorite team fell asleep on the job. Canadians deserved it.
