NBA Finals

Post by SMLCHNG »

I know many folks aren't all that excited about it, but I love watching the NBA.

And this year my Nuggets are playing some of the best ball I've seen from them in a long time. We may not win it all, but I'm proud of them. :D

For those watching, what are your thoughts on who the winner will be?

I grew up tall and somewhat athletic in Indiana...
there was a basketball goal by our driveway
needless to say I played a LOT of basketball growing up, and have always loved the game.

Grew up a Pacers fan back in the ABA days, but have adopted the Magic since moving here.

Denver has some momentum right now. LA might have a hard time with them. NBA really wants Kobe vs Lebron. Cleveland doesn't lose a game until the finals. I would love to see Denver win it all (I like it when teams are successful after Iverson leaves) I don't see how Cleveland loses the series.

So who wins?

The Denver Nuggets or Vince McMahon?

Who was the bone head who double booked the Arena on Monday? :lol:

I am pulling for Vince!

Personally I think Vince is a doofus. Neither HE or Stan Kroenke were the ones doing the actually booking. :roll: Kroenke owns the Pepsi Cetner. His sandbox, his game, his team.

The booking was done in August, 2008. No way anyone could know the Nuggets would be in the playoffs, let alone what their schedule would be if they had made it.

There are other venues in the Denver Metro Area that the WWE can use. So far they've refused them.

My take is . . . I don't really care. But, there is something to be said that they allowed Vince to book during the NBA Playoffs. That shows no confidence in the Nuggets or a complete lack of planning OR both. Vince booked the arena. Vince should get the arena. Whoever f*cked up this schedule should be fired.


EDIT: WWE did sell out the Arena. Just sayin'

Although I'm a bigger fan of the college game than the NBA, I've been a Nugs fan since the run-and-gun days of Doug Moe.

Billups was just what this team needed. They're fun to watch again.

This is the year that "King James" plays up to his nickname and wins it all his last year in Cleveland. I think they've won every playoff game so far by double digits. Orlando is too inconsistant. The Lakers look very human this year. I haven't seen Denver play.

When LeBron hands the trophy to the Cavs' owner, the owner will say something like "Thanks Lebron! See you in New York!"
