I think the playoffs could be pretty exciting this year. The Lakers and the Suns in the West finals would be someting to see, but the Suns have to get by the Spurs and the Hornets. The Lakers have a much easier bracket.

Sorry, but I don't think the Sixers get past the first round. Also, the Wizards will probably lose out to the Cavs for the third straight year. The Celtics and the Cavs should be a good series if it happens. I'm interested to see if King James can carry his team to the semi's. But really, I don't see any way it could be anything other than the Pistons and the Celtics playing in the semi's for the East.

theres like one and half people here who like the nba


first round predictions:

Hawks/Celtics = celtics - 4
Sixers/Pistons = sixers - 6
Raptors/Magic = raptors - 7
Wiz/Cavs = bullets - 4

Nuggets/Lakers = lakers - 4
Mavs/Hornets = hornets - 7
Suns/Spurs = suns - 7
Rockets/Jazz = jazz - 5

Is that why the Sixers thread is always getting bumped? Not that I read it, but someone must be posting there. Didn't know it was only 1 1/2 people.

You really think the Wizards are going to beat the Cavs with all the injuries they have?

I would rather be calling them the Bullets also.

[ice grillin you]

bullets dont have any injuries and look great right now...cavs are a disgrace....it might not be four as the refs could easily toss a couple games clevelands way and i dont even discount that they could give them the series but the bullets are so much better on paper its not even funny so i went four

[shorebird]

Arenas is coming off the bench, being used as the sixth man. Not that he won't get minutes, but he hasn't played regularly in a long time. Still, reading his quotes he has conficence, and says no matter how long it's been since he played, he still has his shot.

[ice grillin you]

true but they were playing good without him and its not like they lack scoring without him so now imagine a guy like that coming off the bench...i also suspect that hes gonna be a 6th man in name only and especially as the series wears on hell start getting more minutes than some of the starters...hes lucky hes an nba player and not nhl as the nba has like a week off btwn games...hell actually get more rest being in the playoffs than he would in the reg season

i want to see how lebron responds. the cavs have been talking a lot of trash.

actually i would love to see the wizards eliminate them. wish the sixers could eliminate the pistons. and wish the nuggets could eliminate the lakers. would get rid of the 3 teams i least enjoy.

too bad most of the games on the weekdays will be on so late i wont be able to watch.

Chris Paul is a pimp...

Houston has issues with Utah. They can't beat them at all. McGrady is bitchmade and will wilt under pressure. Scola and Carl Landry are good young players though. Skip To My Lou is out for the first two games and I just think Utah and Deron Williams will cntinue to eat them up.

Yeah, Bullets blow it in the fourth quarter after Arenas talked all that crap about being the best fourth quarter player in the league. Lebron busted his ass.

[ice grillin you]

yeah the bullets are a bunch of dogs...if youre gonna talk that much trash pre series you have to win the first game at least...i think they still win the series but damn that shtein they threw out there today was weak...jamison is slowly turning into a chris webber type playoff performer who pisses his pants when the fourth quarter starts

Alright now. He wilted like a tulip being pissed on by a Pit Bull.
