Might as well do this thread too, right?
I haven't thought about my picks though.
i'll go with the Lebrons to take it all, over the Lakers.
-
it's all just killing time until lebron vs. kobe. garnett and ginobili's injuries make the celtics and spurs -- really the only teams with a chance of beating the cavs or lakers -- irrelevant. i love the nuggets, but i can't fully trust a team with 'melo/k-mart/jr smith.
lebron-kobe in the finals should be epic, though.
-
epicly vomit inducing
i'm going to go with kobe over the magic, just to be different and because i refuse to pick crab dribble to win it all
-
People still watch the NBA? Hmm, who knew...
-
I will be going to every Nuggets game. I just hope the ghosts of Fat Lever, Alex English and McNichols can get them through to the Western finals where they will lose to the Lakers. However, I think Portland has a slim chance of beating the Lakers in the semis as they have a tough time in Portland. Well, at least I can hope.

Portland Trail Blazers and Lakers (don't like the team, but they have a guy from my city, Pau Gasol). My team has always been the Clippers though.

people in Pittsburgh dont watch baseball anymore.

not really a valid observation in the nba thread

hey, you brought up baseball.

it would be a valid observation if pittsburgh had an nba team. or if i lived there even

i think your observation was just as invalid! so there.
I'm calling for a Celtics repeat, btw.

kg might not play the whole playoffs. cant see them winning 2 series without him
nba finals did a better rating than the world series last year. perfectly valid observation

The NBA Finals games were the six highest-rated and most-watched programs so far in June, the first time that has happened in seven years.
Boston?s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers averaged a 9.3 rating for the series, up 50 percent over the 6.2 for San Antonio?s sweep of Cleveland last year. The Celtics? Game 6 clincher on Tuesday earned a 10.7 rating on ABC, averaging 16.9 million viewers over the course of the game.
Game 5, two nights earlier, averaged 17.4 million viewers.
The Philadelphia Phillies? five-game victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Fox drew record-low ratings. The series averaged an 8.4 rating and 14 share, the network said Thursday. That?s down 17 percent from the previous low, a 10.1 for the five-game Cardinals-Tigers series in 2006.

and my observation that someone who follows Pittsburgh teams would consider baseball a much less important sport is valid as well. living in DC doesnt help with that either!

i root for the wizards in the nba and newcastle united in the epl
the amount of success that those two teams combined have had over my lifetime makes the pirates look like the 90's yankees

The NBA was very lucky to have two big market teams in the finals last year, but comparing simply the final series is silly. Do you think Yankees-Dodgers would beat a 9.3 rating? I bet it would come close to a 19.3 rating, especially in a non-election year.
The NBA all star weekend isn't even on network TV for christ's sake. You have to admit, NBA viewer ship was down for the last decade on only in the last 2 years has it seen an increase, albeit a small one as teams are even moving from larger cities to smaller cities because they can't keep demand high.
-
could be, if the nba finals involve crab dribble, i'm sure the ratings will be strong again
only one team moved, and that was because of stadium issues. something i'm sure baseball can relate to
its just silly to say no one watches the nba the year after they got higher ratings than the world series. unless no one watches baseball either
-
Looks like Kobe and Lebron are on a collision course. . . and the Lakers, if healthy, are a class above . . .
-
cavs v. lakers is probably inevitable
magic could make it interesting in the east, while I think the west should be wide open I dont see (maybe if everybody shows up for Portland but I think theyre still a year or so away)
-

Now that they've swept Florida, people better start watching. This is a good Pirates team now that pitching has seemed to come together at the same time. I've said it before but I'll say it again: if Pedro Alvarez is half the masher as he is billed, this team can compete next year.
-
its really hard for me to talk about baseball without being snarky (even more so than most subjects), but the pirates are in a squeeze here for attention. in the last year: steelers win the super bowl, pens go to the stanley cup finals, penn state goes to the rose bowl and pitt has an excellent regular hoops season. hell, even penn state won the nit and pitt went to a bowl game (though it was the worst football game i ever watched)
