When the playoffs started and you would've told me that the Spurs and the Thunder would be in the Western Conference Finals I would've said you must be kidding. But here we have them. The aging veterans vs. the upstart young'ins.
Yesterday the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 taking 4 games to 1. Goes to show that Kobe cannot do it all by himself despite his best efforts.
The Eastern Conference is still up in the air with Celtics leading the 76ers 3 games to 2. And the Heat and Pacers tied 2 games apiece. If any team other than the Heat makes it to the Finals, then the West Coast team will take it. Of the remaining four teams, I'm not a fan of any of them. =(
Talk the TALK
1) Have you been following the NBA playoffs?
2) Did you play much basketball as a youth?

yes and yes
I am rooting for the Heats since they are on the east side!! =)
I dont like the lakers personally kobe's a ball hog thank goodness they got eliminated XD i'd prefer the celtics :D . i wanna see the Celtics and Miami in the East Conference Finals . and i dont really care about the west lol either opponent XD.
I'm so happy okc beat them. lol Since the Bulls are out I would like to see Thunder win the championships. I play basketball once in a while but never was in a team.
Zé Manel Oliveira: I guess since I do not follow western teams I wasn't aware of their record, players etc. I'm more of an Eastern Conference person since I live in NYC.
Spurs vs. Thunder was the more predictable the west end, I do not understand the surprise. They are the best teams in the NBA right now. Until it is unfair they can not make the NBA final between them.
jello birdie: yeah slick behind layup
Eliza Grace: Yeah. Kobe cried all night the evening the Lakers were eliminated.
Angelica Zuenko: so is RICE, but not LICE playing DICE, or food eaten by MICE.
Connie C: so you can dunk a basketball?
Alicia ☺: what's your favorite sport?
mindy fan: lol his situation is unfortunate for sure. It's 100% mental.
Ben Pak: even without bosh they're still very formidable as long as James and Wade bring their A game.
No & No =( I am not a sports person. Anthony & I buy basket balls 2 I believe but we only played ONCE at the PARK LOl -__-
caroline huang: really? i'm surprised the Spurs did so well.
Lucy Zhang: which is his favorite team?
crispy ☮: i don't blame you. Knicks have been so disappointing too given the two stars.
Lilly M: you don't have to be tall to play though. there are a lot of good players that are short.
that's a really cool picture of Kobe. Too bad they lost. Of the teams remaining I'm rooting for the Pacers
awww poor Kobe!
NICE!
I don't follow basketball and only played leisurely in high school.
I don't watch sports and I am not coordinated enough for basketball
I don't follow the NBA at all. I just don't have much interest in basketball.
I don't watch basketball that much , but I do know about Lemar's situation right now...
i think the heat will be the next ones out
i believe that spurs will beat the thunders but then will lose to the Heat in the finals.
my bf has been watching every game so i get the headlines from him lol, and no i didn't play basketball as a youth but i'll shoot some hoops with the family and bf
I've only played for fun, never on a team or anything. I stopped watching the playoffs a while ago.
No and Yes. I only played for 1 year. Basketball wasn't for me. I am not tall enough :(
