Is anyone following them?
Which team(s) do you guys support?

I don't get to watch it because I live in the UK right now, and I don't really like support any of the teams, but I kind of follow Houston Rockets.

Miami Heat, Nuggets and Lakers are the three teams I would be happy to see win the tournament :D

I don't mind Lakers or Nets either, but simply for watching Kobe Bryant and Kidd + Carter.

After a horrible game two loss, the Lakers came back last night to make the series Phx 2-1 Lakers. Next game is Sunday afternoon, same time as our match but ours should be over in time to watch 3rd-4th quarter. I'm going to game 6 if there is one. :)

I haven't really followed the NBA since the great run of the Chicago Bulls years ago. What are the teams in the playoffs this year?

Thanks, G77........ very odd, many of the same teams that were at the top during the great run of the old Chicago Bulls team. What a coincidence!

Reggie Miller and the Pacers were my favorite. After Reggie retired I just lost interest. I still like and go for the Nets, as they are my hometown team.

Western - Mavs
Eastern - Baby Bulls :D
Miami are already 3-0 down, no team in the history of the NBA has ever come back from a 3-0 I think :)
... wtf is wrong with the Mavs?

Western - Mavs
The Mavs are in deep deep sh1te against the GS Warriors (!?!?). Take a look at how Steve Nash is running the Phoenix Suns if you want a favourite for the West (and IMO to win it all).
I don't care if you don't know jack about basketball, seeing Nash run a fast break is like seeing Zidane run our midfield in the good old times. Anyone and everyone can appreciate the beauty of it.

The Warriors just won again vs. Dallas in a barnburner. I'm glad for them, they've been long-suffering.
I always like the comparison of Steve Nash's court vision with Zidane's pitch vision. They know where their teammate is going to be before they do. I'd like to see PHX go all the way. They've dominated my stupid Lakers (again) so good on them.
Oh and Miami got swept...:eek:

I just don't understand what's happening to the mavs. GS weren't exactly a team to look out for during the regular season. Its still a close series though, the mavs are more than capable of fighting back from a 2-1 deficit
I'm so happy for the baby bulls though :D I hate DWade and Shaq

The last time I followed the NBA closely, Steve Nash was a college student!

I seriously recommend you watch one or two Phoenix Suns games.

Thanks, Laudrup. Maybe I will! Do you know when they play next?

They play the Lakers on Wednesday night, 1730 your time on TNT and TNTHD.
Hopefully, Phx loses so I can go to the next game of the series, which would be on Friday here. It looks bleak, though. :(

Poor Horsey :(
My Miami Heat got taken away from me! (throws down Wade3 singlet in disgust).
Ahh well, my other two 'teams', Lakers and Nuggets, are probably going to drop down too. Gah.
Go TMAC and Ming xD
