NBA - which happens first?

[rich76]

Golden State loses or Philadelphia wins?

[bballjer44]

Hands down Golden State loses.
Why, because Sixers could lose them all.

[ProneEisenrott]

I think Philly will win. There are enough mediocre/bad teams that the 76ers should be able to knock one of them off. There are not, however, many teams that match up well against the Warriors.

Still, an interesting and amusing question.

[rich76]

Warriors - 17-0

76ers - 0-17 (they came real close....losing by 2)

[ProneEisenrott]

Now at 18-0 and 0-18. In any other sport there would be a cry for competitive balance, but in the NBA I think it is great.

[rich76]

I am predicting that the Warriors win tonight and Philly beats the Lakers tomorrow night.

I say Bryant has a rare good game and holds on in a squeaker.

"Rare" has an interesting connotation here. There's "rare" as in hardly ever occurring, in which I would say that Kobe Bryant having a bad game is rare over the course of his career (95%+ good/great games.) And then there's "rare" as in not happening very often recently, which is true, if by "recently" you are referring to the last two months of a 19+ year careerr

Perspective is everything.

Incredibly impressive. I wonder what kind of odds you could have gotten in Vegas?

[rich76]

BIGones.

[ProneEisenrott]

Where is a time machine when you need it?

Seriously, though, do you think they beat the Bulls record, assuming they stay healthy? I'm starting to think it's like a 50/50 chance. Never thought I'd see that record broke before this season, though.

[rich76]

I think their chance is much better than 50/50....because of their bench.

Toronto is giving them hell.
