San Antonio vs Detroit...which is the obvious choice but oh well
San Antonio in 6
I want Miami to win the title though.
Every damn series looks competitive..Chicago vs Washington should be fun/Phoenix vs Memphis will be a track meet and might go 6 games/San Antonio vs Denver is not going to be easy for SA...should be a damn good playoffs

that will NEVER happen. If the Kings are going to win... they better do it in less than 7 games.
What are they... 0 for 5? 0 for 6? in Game 7 situations?

San Antonio will win it all
...but I said that year too.
I still like Detroit's chances, they are the best defensive team out there. We'll see how they do against Miami.

I still think they can get to the second round, even without Curry and Deng.
It may take a few more games to get there, but they'll be playing in the second round.
...and the third

doesn't matter if they can play defense, as long as their offense makes up for it, which they have done all year.

If Phoenix plays SA (which they eventually will), Bruce Bowen will have both hands around Steve Nash's neck for the entire series.

Didn't they lose the season series to San Antonio?? In fact, the only game they won against SA was when Duncan was out.... then again, I could be wrong.

Also, they aren't that bad at defense. Yes, I know they worst in the NBA in points allowed, but that comes with the running game. As long as you win thats all that matters. Marion is a great defensive player, and Stoudamire/Hunter can play defense.
Lot of young guys though, thats the biggest problem.

GO SONICS! We should get Radmanovic back by game 3. The Queens are as banged up as we are so it should be a good series.
