View Full Version : Can the Nets upset the Heat in round 1?
TVFactFan 04-21-2005, 12:48 PM I think the Nets have a damm good chance since they are getting Richard Jefferson back, along with Vince Carter and Jason Kidd. The Heat will have to work to make it to the second round.
Pacers have not shot against Boston
76ers have no shot against Detroit
The most unattractive playoff series in the east is chicago and washington
dlemond 04-21-2005, 12:57 PM I would say their chances aren't that good, but anything is possible.
Richard Jefferson hasn't played since January- how much of an impact can he be? Besides the fact the team chemistry with him in the lineup is practically non-existant due to his absence.
I am rooting hard for the Nets and I hope I am wrong.
If they beat the Heat, the rest of the East better look out.
Sargent Stewie 04-21-2005, 04:31 PM NO.
KJH278 04-21-2005, 05:24 PM shaq and the heat are going down
TVFactFan 04-22-2005, 12:00 AM The most exciting playoff series will probably the Spurs and Nuggets
Pavan 04-22-2005, 12:10 AM The most exciting playoff series will probably the Spurs and Nuggets
The Spurs are boring though, lol. It'll be fun to watch the Suns run. I hope Nets beat the Heat. If they don't, I have Heat-Suns in the Finals. That would be a fun series.
And I think Indiana has a good shot in beating Boston.
What "I" want:
East: Nets over Heat, Bulls over Wizards, Pacers over Celtics, Pistons over Sixers.
West: Suns over Grizzlies, Sonics over Kings, Mavs over Rockets, Spurs over Nuggets.
What will probably happen:
East: Heat over Nets, Bulls over Wizards, Pacers over Celtics, Pistons over Sixers.
West: Suns over Grizzlies, Kings over Sonics, Mavs over Rockets, Spurs over Nuggets.
Seinatra 04-22-2005, 10:30 AM Here are the odds: For the plus teams if you bet $100 you win the amount listed, for the minus teams, you need to bet the listed amount to win $100.
76ers +800
Pistons -1100
Rockets +165
Mavs -185
Pacers +110
Celtics -130
Kings -115
Sonics -105
Nets +690
Heat -980
Wizards +105
Bulls -125
Nuggets +385
Spurs -475
Grizzlies +700 OFF OFF
Suns -1000 OFF OFF
So according to the bookmakers, the 76ers are the biggest underdog, and the Kings/Sonics is the closest series.
Scoobiedoo30 04-22-2005, 11:00 AM I also think The Nets will beat heat in Round 1.
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 11:48 AM The Nets will not beat the Heat. TVShowAnalyzer your comments sometimes are so ********. How you figure the Bulls & Wizards series will be wack? That series is gonna be fun because both teams are young & they're good teams. Then you say the Pacers have not shot against the Celtics. Don't you mean they have no shot against them? Learn how to spell.

Isiahthomas i wish you were on here more often so we can talk sports-lol There are not a lot of sports fan on here. But what I was saying is if you compare the Bulls/Wizards series to the other series in the Eastern Conference, that series doesn;t look that attractive. In the 76ers/Pistons series you have Iverson vs Rip Hamilton, in the Pacers/Celts series you have Paul Pierce vs Jermaine Oneal, in the Nets/Heat Series you have Kidd/VinceCarter vs Shaq and Dwayne Wade. But in the Bulls/Wizards series who do you have???????????????????????????????????????
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 12:39 PM Bulls-Kirk Hinrich, Tyson Chandler, Ben Gordon, Othella Harrington(LOL), Antonio Davis(LOL)
Wizards-Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison, Larry Hughes, Juan Dixon, Etan Thomas, Kwame Brown(LOL), Brendan Haywood(LOL).
TVFactFan 04-23-2005, 12:44 PM Bulls-Kirk Hinrich, Tyson Chandler, Ben Gordon, Othella Harrington(LOL), Antonio Davis(LOL)
Wizards-Gilbert Arenas, Antwan Jamison, Larry Hughes, Juan Dixon, Etan Thomas, Kwame Brown(LOL), Brendan Haywood(LOL).
My point is neither one of these teams have a NBA star. Would you agree with that?
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 12:46 PM Ben Gordon & Kirk Hinrich are very good players but i wouldn't consider them stars yet. Gilbert, Antwan, Larry are stars in my book.

I am a big sports fan myself, but I haven't posted much NBA because the NBA is lacking intensity. I haven't even watched a full NBA game this season. The NBA is far from what it used to be, nobody plays defense, people crying that they are not making enough money. The league is lacking star power. The playoffs are lacking stars. I will be watching the playoffs. I don't think my Kings will get far. LOL I hope we can upset the Sonics. Anyway, I don't see the Nets beating the Heat. It will be a mental thing because they know Shaq is in the middle. Remember, I don't see them having an answer for Shaq.
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 12:53 PM I definitely agree with you GarfieldKool. The NBA isn't what it used to be. Back in the day, players weren't complaining about their contracts & they played defense. Back then you didn't see players taking a charge & fallin on the floor. I get so sick & tired nowadays of players waiting for somebody to charge into them so they can flop on the floor. Play some god damn defense. Vlade Divac is the best at floppin LOL. He needs to retire. He missed too many games for the Lakers this year.
Seinatra 04-23-2005, 01:17 PM I agree also, I was following my team, but they sucked so that didnt last long. I still went to about 12 games in person, but overall I have not been watching many games on TV.
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 01:26 PM You talkin about the Lakers?
Seinatra 04-23-2005, 01:28 PM Bucks - And you aint getting Redd either.
isiahthomas 04-23-2005, 04:26 PM Who is that black girl in your avatar? I know Michael Redd doesn't wanna come to Cleveland. I don't know why. He isn't gonna win anything with the Bucks LOL.
