Hot teams? These are the hottest.

The Cavs have won 9 of 10 and are just a game behind the Nets.


The Nets have won 14 in a row.

They have also won 27 of the last 30 home games.

 

[ghoti]

If the Cavaliers score under 85 points, the Nets are serious contenders to win a title.

 

[ghoti]

Good defense makes victory.Go Nets! Go Krstic!

Yep! Deeeeefense!

Let's pull out the playoff defense like against Detroit, Phoenix and Miami.

 

[ghoti]

Where is the score prediction???

No prediction game today. TMC11 was a little under the weather and by the time I figured out he didn't put one up, it was too late. Sorry.

 

[ghoti]

Dominate!

 

[ghoti]

Hey... look at that, a ghoti game thread.

If this jinxs out streak, I'll hunt him and TMac11 down through their IPs!

-Petey

I didn't want to do it for just that reason. He told me it's 100% on him if the Nets lose! :cheers:

 

[ghoti]

No playoff intensity defense so far.

Shouldn't have slacked off against the bad teams.

 

[ghoti]

The whole team should wear the headbands they gave away to the fans.

 

[ghoti]

Holy ****! What a call!

Where do they find these refs?

 

[ghoti]

That was not the kind of basketball that made me think the Nets could win in the playoffs.

I hope this gets better.

 

[ghoti]

Well in all honesty, no one can stop Lebron. Kid is just bulldozing everyone

So is Wade, and the Nets pwned Miami.

So is Dirk, and the Nets blew out the Mavs.

This defense is horrible.

 

[ghoti]

Yeah! Deeeefense!!

 

[ghoti]

Quick quiz.

Is the dot inside or outside the semicircle?

I bet even the biggest brain-dead idiot on this board can get this one right.

 

[ghoti]

OH ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY 1000 Post!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im scared

Congratulations! :cheers:

I'm keeping an eye on mine today, too.

 

[ghoti]

How the **** is that a foul on Krstic??!!

Glad the best team gets the worst refs.

 

[ghoti]

you are going to get 8000.

Hbwoy got that yesterday I think.

Congratulations to you, too!

 

[ghoti]

ghotis power is gonna go out at 7,999 posts

jp

Heh. That's why I have the Sidekick!

 

[ghoti]

The refs are ruining the game.

What a sham this is.

 

[ghoti]

I guess the Nets have a bunch of calls in the bank for the 2nd half.

If this bull**** continues, Frank has to step up and assert himself.
