Title: NBA Finals and NBA Draft
Post by: the captain on June 20, 2006, 12:43:23 PM
So, is tonight the final game of the finals, or do we get one more?

And, on to my favorite subject on this earth--more than even BW or music in general--the NBA Draft! Anyone rooting for their team to pick someone in particular? Any other draft nerds around here?

Dallas will win tonight - even if they have to be helped along.

I can't really get into the draft - it requires watching college basketball

I'm a draft nerd, but I can't think of anyone I'd really like my team to pick. They're projected by almost everyone to pick a point guard, which is really strange with the emergence of Anthony Johnson, the likely trade of Jamaal Tinsley, and Sarunas Jasekivicius as a capable backup. I'd be fine with not picking anyone. I guess I'd take that defensive stud from LSU if I had to choose someone, but I'm really bad at judging talent for some strange reason.

I'm sure the finals will go to game seven. Dallas has more than enough motives to win tonight's game. I wouldn't be surprised to see a complete blowout.

I could see Indiana taking a big guy. O'Neal's days are numbered, Harrison is a joke, and the others are role players at best.

It seems most likely.

Wow, really wrong about last night's game. Shocking.

I had originally predicted Miami in 6.  The refs did try to help extend it to seven with that ridiculous travelling call, as I thought they would, but the Mavs didn't come through . . .

No less ridiculous than the "he called a time out in-between the foul shots" call.

Are you saying he didn't?

Considering he was communicating to the coach asking him if he wanted a timeout, no.
