badboy

I don't think Miami will sweep....I have faith in NJ to at least win one.

CL Hype

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

teg_to_bike

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?

teg_to_bike

Phoenix in 4
Miami in 4

Good for you AD I've never been to the Fleet (TD Bank North Garden or whatever it's called)... only to the old Garden.

Hopefully this will be a start of many trips to the playoffs in the future...

They're closing down Causeway Street for some block party thing for a few hours before the game. I'm not a huge basketball fan but the playoff atmosphere is fun. That and I'm going with 4 of my mutant friends from school.

The East doesn't matter cause they will lose anyway.

BEETROOT

Predictions for who wins it all?

I say Phoenix...

SG81

iTrader: (1)

Miami
Detroit
Indiana
Washington

Phoenix
San Antonio
Sacramento
Dallas

ccannizz11

I say Miami wins it all

Black CL-S 4-Life

Naw Phoenix will need a halfcourt game against the Spurs and will lose. SA will win it all.

teg_to_bike

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.

teg_to_bike

Does that team play defense? A good offense will get you noticed, but defense wins championships.

ccannizz11

Phoenix is a fast breaking version of the Mavs from the past few years.

Nugs3

EASY Money GAME 1

Boston -3
Washington +4

Yumcha

Go Bulls!

teg_to_bike

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
...and the finals

Nugs3

Wish we still had Deng and Curry......would have been interesting to see what they could have done.

BEETROOT

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


Bulls

iTrader: (2)

Phoenix (1) > Memphis (8)



Miami (1) > New Jersey (8)


San Antonio (2) > Denver (7)

Detroit (2) < Philadelphia (7)

Seattle (3)< Sacramento (6)

Boston (3) < Indiana (6)


Dallas (4) < Houston (5)

Chicago (4) < Washington (5)

ccannizz11

I think your keyboard is broken

teg_to_bike

this is the playoffs dude... a good defensive team can always beat a good offensive team.

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

teg_to_bike

ccannizz11

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.

BEETROOT

Guess we'll have to wait and find out, eh? I normally would agree with you, but suns road record was incredible, and they aren't just a 'good' offensive team, they have been pretty much unstoppable.

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.


huh?

BEETROOT

they lost 2 out of 3


they won in the preseason though

Bulldog01

Go Nuggs!!

cmark

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.

esCarbonie

how is the bulls wizards game easy money? its a 4 v 5 and chicago is streaking...

teg_to_bike

I meant Bruce Bowen will gaurd Nash very tightly.
