Yeh I do follow them properly.
Followed them since the start of the 06/07 when they reach the Finals.
Anything short of a ring this season will be a failure obviously.
Who's your mob W&F?

Cleveland as well my good friend. It's too bad I follow the Bears in NFL, quite the opposite of the Packers. I started supporting the Cavs in 05/06 when I saw a game and LeBron was just killin em.
I hope Mo + Delonte need to pick their act up for the playoffs or it's going to be tough to beat the Lakers/Mavericks/Nuggets. I already know we can beat Orlando/Boston/Atlanta in the East, just a matter of if we can defeat whoever comes out of the West.

My god that was a really really bad injury. Looked at in normal speed and thought it was insanely bad, then saw it in slow-mo and it was 10 times worse. Horrific injury and pretty much ends Milwaukee's season although they will make the playoffs

I'm a bucks fan, and that injury really is heartbreaking. How unlucky can i get, my 2 favourite players (covell and bogut) injured in the same week.

Yeh it was a pretty horrific injury. Probably blows their chances of winning a playoff series.

Well every higher seeded team one in the first game of the playoffs. Only real surprise for me was how well the Lakers were able to defend Durant. I mean the Durantuala has pretty much scored at will against any and ever team during the last half of the season. Hope the Lakers don't show that kind of consistency on LeBron over a full game in the Finals. Yes, that's right Coco Lakers-Cavaliers Finals this year.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Haha, to be fair, I don't like our chances of sneaking past the Cavs again. But my fingers remained crossed. Totally bummed by Utah's capitulating health. I love watching them play - particularly Williams. Good on Portland upsetting the Suns on the road today. I'm always up for watching Amare cry like a little girl

Haha, The Cavs solved what they needed to beat the Magic already. Shouldn't go past 6 games. I'm really hoping Utah can overcome the injuries and defeat Denver. I love the team the Jazz have put together and really despise the Thuggets. Also, Denver defeated the Cavaliers twice during the season and the only Western Conference team to do so. I'm kinda worried, but it will be a tough ask for Denver to win the title going through the Jazz, Lakers, Mavericks/Portland/Phoenix and then the Cavs/Magic.

Whao! Any catch Deron Williams today? Stud. No way Denver are going to win the West let alone the league. One to many headcases in that team.

That's what I thought last year Coco. But the Nuggets were only 2 Trevor Ariza late game in-bound steals off playing in the Finals against Orlando. Denver are so dangerous in the playoffs, because there one of those teams where if there players start to get a roll on, no team can beat them. Kind like the Magic eh? Denver usually play down to their opponents and play up to the elite teams, which favors them so well if they can make it past Utah. Also, if JR Smith and Ty Lawson start a hot streak its bye bye for the opposing team.

...and the altitude. I'm amazed when any opponent waltzes in there and wins without having to suck out of an oxygen mask.

Not to jinx it or anything but...Orlando are the only undefeated team in the playoffs to date
(Just had to rub it in while I can. There's no doubting we must be the LEAST impressive 3-0 team in the history of the first round of the playoffs. Only barely scraping by past Charlotte. Never a good sign)

Haha, can't wait to beat the Boston 'Retirment Homes Own' Celtics in the 2nd round and then face the Magic for a rematch of last year. Revenge will be oh so sweet, but a loss would be just too much to bear(sp?).

Yes we HAVE to win this year. Anything short of that will be failure
