Playoff Craziness

All I have to say is the Mavericks are playing the Golden State Warriors (1st vs. 8th) and the Mav's are losing the series 3-1!

The Spurs are playing the Denver Nuggets (3rd vs. 6th) and the Spurs just won last night to make it a 3-1 series!

 

I can't wait for the next round without the Mav's!

 

Go Spurs Go!!!

 

(sorry I dont have any cool smiley's or anything.. dont you Tex? I think you did last playoff season no?)

I would agree.... but the teams i cared about are basically out of it.... i mean.. im down with the devils.. but the Spurs are a priority over the Devils... I would still be watching if the Flames were in it though......

 

 

Go Spurs Go!

NHL rules over the NBA. Thats all I gotta say.

Rob I'm surprised. I thought you knew that the sport of basketball was originally started by the mysterious Sasquatch. You can even see that some of the players have the "Bigfoot" gene, although it has been somewhat "watered down" over the centuries :wink:

 

GO SPURS GO!!

 

:D:P8):wink:

Hockey is the only sport I can either watch in person, watch on television, or listen to on the radio (which I have to do since I dont get cable at my apartment). I despise football, baseball, and basketball. They all bore me. I never watched soccer, but I think its similiar enough to hockey in concept and pace where I could watch it. I dont like watching tennis (though my gf enjoys watching the US Open and any other matches she finds), or poker (thats really boring)...I think I covered enough sports.

 

Oh. I do enjoy sitting back and watching a good game of blurnsball.

Basketball is boring, and hockey's only worth watching in person.

I used to agree with you Mitth, but.. unfortunately for me.. in the area.. there is no local major league football, baseball, or hockey. Only basketball.. so.. its kinda what i HAD to get into in order to be able to talk local sports with friends and co-workers...

 

oh... and nothing is more boring than watch golf.... in my opinion.

 

Oh.. yea... and SPURS WON!!!! woohoo! on to round 2.. versus Phoenix!

JH, what mystery state are you from where there are no state pro-sport teams???

 

I assumed it was Texas (with your Spurs rooting), so I say root on the Rangers (MLB), Cowboys (NFL), and Stars (NHL). I know you said you liked Calgary in NHL, but I forgot where that thread was, and am too lazy to read it again if it confirms your location.

I don't understand the reason for playoffs.

 

I can't watch the NBA, MLB or NFL as I don't understand the rules in one case and find the others too boring. NHL I've tried to watch and am getting into it more but the only sport I can really watch and enjoy is soccer.

 

I think the schedule for the NHL rather stupid.....how can one team say they are the best if there are several teams they don't even face during the course of the season even once?

 

Oh by the way...

 

go sens!

Turtle, Im shocked to hear a Canadian say they dont follow the NHL!!!

 

And there is definitely a need for playoffs. It helps determine which teams had the most successful seasons, and then plays them against eachother in elimination-style (usually best of 7) rounds to see who the last man standing is. And all the pro-sports have two leagues just so that there isnt too much going on at once.

 

Now I dont understand or like the MLBs leagues. You have the American and the National leagues, both of which mean the same thing (since the majority of the MLB teams are in the US), and they are just randomly chosen as to which team is in which league. Its retarded!

 

Now the NHL was smart. They have a Western Conference (all the teams more west of the US and Canada) and the Eastern Conference. This helps promote rivalries, which makes the game better to watch. Then they got real smart and developed the idea that each Conference would have 3 divisions, and the teams in each division would play the majority of the games against eachother. So for example, in my division (the Eastern Atlantic) you have 2 NY teams, 2 PA teams, and a NJ team. These teams constantly play eachother, and the fans love it! I love to watch the Rangers take on the NY Islanders or the NJ Devils. It gets the fans alot more riled up, and it creates alot of fun in families. For example, in my family I am a Rangers fan, my dad and cousin on Long Island are Islander fans, and my other cousin upstate is a NJ Devils fan. So we are constantly talking trash to eachother and sending random emails and such. Its great! Sorry for the tangent. I just got real excited.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The Mavericks lost last night in a stunning game against the Golden State Warriors!.. 111-86 !!! The Warriors joined the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks as the only No. 8 seeds to upset a No. 1 seed, yet Golden State owns the distinction of being the only team to accomplish this in a seven-game series, a much more difficult accomplishment.

 

Right now.. I love the Warriors!.. Now Houston has to lose to the Jazz and I'll be happy...

MLB... the American and the National League play a slight rule difference. It is mostly due to the historical reasons, there were many up-and-coming baseball groups. Those two managed to stick it out and absorb many teams.

 

It is the same with many other sports, college and professional.. there are many associations and conferences. They basically just start out as group of teams.. saying "this is how we play.. these are the rules to join"

 

I keep track of my hometown MLB team.. but that's about it. We'll see what happens about the playoffs come Fall.

I'm in Ottawa Canada, but was born and raised in England. I moved over 6 years ago.

 

Ok so maybe the elimination rounds have an importance.

 

I didn't say I had a problem with the way that the NHL teams were divided, I just don't understand how a team can be declared Stanley cup champions and the best in the league if there are teams they don't face though. For instance if Ottawa Senator win the title they didn't face Dallas or Anaheim or LA.

Actually starting this past season all the teams play eachother at least once. So all the teams in the Eastern Conference play each team in the Western Conference once a season.

 

And it is assumed that the best team in each conference will be in the Stanley Cup. So if Ottawa gets to the Cup, and so does Anaheim, it is because both those teams proved to be the best team in the playoffs, and thus represent the best of each conference.

Yes, I was happy to see the Devils lose. But I was sad to see the Rangers lose today. But I am not frustrated or upset or angry. They played some good hockey, and should have won game 5 (if not for some bad calls). They got pretty far, and I am pleased with their accomplishments.

Well, I wanted to see the Lightning win, agaisnt whomever. But I have a particular dislike of the Devils, so that series was horrible pour moi.

 

[On the other hand, its kinda funny to see quality forwards only now amassing the total goals/points Lecavalier and St. Louis pulled in their first series]

Being that I dont think there are too many people who are into basketball here.. I'm not sure you guys know who Mark Cuban is? Well, he's the owner of the Dallas Mavericks.. who.. as you can tell.. I don't like.. along with 90% of Spurs fans. Anyway, the Golden State warriors did something quite funny to him while they were playing against the mavs.

So I decided to join in on the fun... (the only picture you will ever see of me.. probably).. and one of my co-workers thought up the addition of the "N" to my Cuba jacket.. quite hilarious.. in my opinion..
