    Floppers vs Dirty Bastards take your pick!

    Prediction: Bowen suspended for injuring Deron who punches Ginobili for flopping against Fisher who suffers a concussion from a cheapshot by Horry who is ejected after getting a headbutt from Boozer who snaps his ankle after tripping over Duncan who pops a knee trying to protect Parker who is b!tchslapped by Kirenlenko who cries for not being a big part of the suspension. Refs end the series with a coin toss. Spurs get the roll. David Stern smiles. :D

    Hmm Bowen on Deron, AK on Manu/Finley, Boozer vs Duncan, scrappers like Harpring, Fisher, Finley, Horry, wow great matchups.

    Who's gonna guard Okur? Surely not Elson/Oberto. Maybe Spurs will have to tinker with their lineup and start both Manu and Finley or start Horry? I think Spurs leave AK open all day on D and much of the series will hinge on his making open shots as well as Okur hitting the 3's much as they did against the Rockets. We were ok till these guys started going off. I don't know if Williams can stay with Parker on D.

    I'm going with the shocker, Jazz in 7.

    some of you Jazz haters don't understand the crap coming out of the Spurs fans mouth. Newsflash, there are TONS more Spurs fans in Texas than Jazz fans. We don't want to brag about 4 championships to our 2. No no no no no no no no.

    Go Jazz! Go Cavs! Go Detroit!

    What a disaster for the NBA. The ECF will actually draw more viewers than the WCF.

    The Finals are going to be the lowest in history.

    The only hope is LeBron scoring 100 PPG.

    But I'll give Detroit credit; Flip and CWebb sure have made them watchable on offense.

    San Antonio is a good team, but I absolutely abhor the thought of having to watch Ginobili using 48 of his 53 facial muscles to whine about an obvious call.

    The ECF will be done by TNT, so I'll be watching for...
    Kenny and Charles!

    Gross. Hard to believe Utah is the lesser of the evils left, but that's how it's gone.

    Cavs are gutless and shouldn't have even made it this far.

    I don't want Webber to win a ring esp after the crap he pulled in Philly.

    And I loathe the spurs.

    *sigh*

    Wow, who to root for? If the Jazz win, they'll lose to the Pistons. So I guess I'll take the Jazz over the Spurs.

    It'll be great to ruin the Spurs' party since most predict that the winner of the Spurs-Suns series is gonna win it all.

    But given that most teams I've rooted for have lost, it's probably going to be Spurs in 5.

    Worst Western Conference finals in quite some time... The Pistons and Spurs are so superior to their respective opponents they might as well just let them play each other now.

    Boozer will finally be exposed. He puts up huge numbers against the average frontlines but fades quick against the likes of Duncan, Garnett, Stoudemire, Brand, D. Howard, etc... You'll see.

    good the two teams i wanted in the WCF(after the rockets of course) made it there. It will be a fun game to watch. I really like how those two teams play.

    I do not really care which of these teams win. As long as they destroy the champions of the east.

    I think I would rather watch Lifetime womens channel than anymore of these boring NBA matchups, I feel like I've been watching the Pistons and Cavs on ABC for the past 100 years, and the j*zz just plain suck.

    My head says Spurs will win especially if Duncan plays like he did in game 6. My heart is rooting for the Jazz, they never won a ring with Stockton/Malone. Sloan deserves one ring before he is done.

    Texans for Texas teams -- even if the Spurs aren't our first choice. For the next month I am a Spurs supporter, first against Utah and next against Detroit.

    Les, the onus will be on you to catch up on championships. BTW, you can't do it with Larry Brown as coach.

    I hate series where I can't root for either team. Guess the only team left to root for is Cavs.. and I don't particularly care for the Cavs too much.

    I hate the Jazz, but it's not their fault the Rockets have two p-ssies as their superstars who can't get the job done when it matters.

    On the other hand, I've always hated the Spurs. Since the Robinson era. And their act in the Suns series only confirmed what I've maintained for years. That they're a dirty team full of floppers, whiners, and cheap shot artists. Even Robert Horry's sunk to that level now that he's been with them for 4 years.

    So go Jazz! And please go Pistons in the Finals! They're the only team left I can stomach winning a championship.

    haha that's funny although I think it should be "Floppers/Whiners" for Utah. I've never seen a team whine the way they do.

    By the way, in case anybody hasn't already realized: the ratings for this series are going to be absolutely abysmal. Your casual NBA fan doesn't want to see slow-it-down, physical basketball with scores in the 80's-90's.

    ....and GO JAZZ!!! [barf]

    I'm sick of seeing SA win. Not to mention with the way the league basically gave SA that Phoenix series. At least the Jazz legitimately beat their opponents.
