NBA

*clicks tongue* Now now... we all know we've gone much further than that, j/k.

Im so hyper right now! i wanna go out clubbing! And get drunk! With my gay friend! Yeah, me and him have a such a blast! Ima go call him up so we can go to South Beach, it's wild out here in Miami right now.

Heat-Mavs final could be fun to watch.

But I won't rule out the Suns yet. But I think the momentum is with Dallas now.

I knew Miami would pull it off from the start of the series. Thats why im 50 bucks richer when I go back to school on Monday.

I wish I could be in Miami

:trout: haahaa you also said that for the last two teams THe Suns won..no one believed you K..they dont like liars or guesser's

it was inevitable, the lakers almost beat the suns, the clippers almost beat the suns, there was no way the mavericks would lose to the suns....the lakers and clippers are just average teams compared to the elite of the west at the moment and they almost beat the suns which are considered an elite team

yea, i kept forgetting the suns were actually the # 2 seed in the west

Best NBA post season I've ever witnessed. Most of the games were so close that the deficit was one or two points. It was quite astonishing.

No, I didn't. I was hoping that the Clippers would beat the Suns, but I didn't make a prediction for the series that the Suns had with the Clippers or Lakers. When the Lakers went up 3-1, I thought the Lakers would win, as did most anybody else. Now you try to diss me for getting my prediction right this time?! :trout:

*i keep my word*!!!

You said that when the Suns lost to the Mavs. No one belives you, Kurupt. They don't like LIARS!!!

That's just being a bad loser.

The Mavs have proven they are the best team in the western conference, no doubt about that. Maybe with Stoudemire healthy the series would've been longer, but I guess we'll never know.

The Mavs can play against fast teams, againt defensive teams, against anyone.. and they'll prove it too againt Miami.

Mavs in 6

Something interesting..

One more note on this: we get carried away with basketball statistics nowadays, as evidenced by the new book that rated Allen Iverson as the 90th best player in the league during his MVP season. Why make it so complicated? Just add up the point, rebound and assist averages for franchise guys during the playoffs: If the number tops 42, you're probably talking about a pantheon guy. You could even call it the 42 Club, just as exclusive as the Five-Timer Club on SNL, only without the NBA equivalent of Elliott Gould.

Since it's my idea, I only allowed guys who played 13 or more playoff games in one postseason to be eligible, since that's a legitimate sampling (more than a month of basketball at the highest level). Here's what the 42 Club looks like since the ABA/NBA merger in 1976:

Michael Jordan (six times) -- 49.4 ('89); 50.7 ('90); 45.9 ('91); 46.5 ('92); 47.8 ('93); 43.8 ('97)

Shaquille O'Neal (four times) -- 43.6 ('98); 49.2 ('00); 49.0 ('01); 43.9 ('02)

Larry Bird (four times) -- 42.0 ('81); 44.4 ('84); 43.4 ('86); 44.2 ('87)

Moses Malone (twice) -- 43.0 ('81), 43.3 ('83)

Magic Johnson (twice) -- 43.8 ('86), 42.5 ('91)

Karl Malone (twice) -- 43.0 ('92), 42.9 ('94)

Hakeem Olajuwon (twice) -- 44.2 ('94), 47.8 ('95)

Tim Duncan (twice) -- 42.7 ('01), 45.4 ('03)

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- 47.1 ('80)

Charles Barkley -- 44.5 ('93)

Kobe Bryant -- 42.8 ('01)

Allen Iverson -- 43.7 ('01)

Kevin Garnett -- 44.0 ('04)

LeBron James -- 44.7 ('06)

Dirk Nowitzki -- 45.1 ('06, ongoing)

Here's why I love the 42 Club: There isn't a single fraud on that list, with the possible exception of the Mailman (that's a whole other column). Every memorable spring from the past three decades is represented except for three: Bill Walton in '77 (didn't score enough); Bernard King in '84 (played only 12 games); and Magic in '87 and '88 (he just missed). Just like in real life, the best seasons of Patrick Ewing, David Robinson and Clyde Drexler fell short. Those career year/MVP seasons for KG, Barkley and Iverson all qualified, as did Kobe's ridiculous 2001 season (when he peaked as an all-around player). MJ leads the list with six appearances, which seems logical because he was the most dominant player of that era. And LeBron cracked the list at age 21, which was fitting because we'll be electing him lifetime president of the 42 Club within the next 12 years.

Did I ever believe that Nowitzki would crack the 42 Club? No way. Just two summers ago, I skewered the Mavs for refusing to part with him in a Shaq trade; by my logic, they were passing up two or three guaranteed championships to keep someone who wasn't quite a franchise player. Well, I was wrong. (Although not completely wrong -- would you rather have Nash and Shaq or Nowitzki and Dampier?) Regardless, he's the most unstoppable player in basketball, a true franchise guy, and I think he's headed for his first championship in about two weeks.
