PHOENIX (1) vs. MEMPHIS (8)
Phoenix in 4 don't need that much "D" against memphis. i'd rather see the clippers (with maggette healthy) instead of memphis IMO
MIAMI (1) vs. NEW JERSEY (8)
Miami in 6 shaq might not play the first game and RJ is more than likely gonna be back for the playoffs, plus carter has been ballin'
SAN ANTONIO (2) vs. DENVER (7)
SA in 4 if spurs stay healthy, they'll sweep
DETROIT (2) vs. PHILADELPHIA (7)
Detroit in 5 is webber even playing? detroit has too many defensive players for any of the 76ers offense to get on the roll. maybe iverson will do what he does but iguodala and korver won't do anything
SEATTLE (3) vs. SACRAMENTO (6)
Seattle in 6 kings have too many injuries. the last game, pedja, bibby, and miller didn't play. these guys are not 100%. jackson and mobley are a nice back court. seattle has ray allen, nuff said. lewis, ridnour and murray will do their part - as long as they don't get cold feet
BOSTON (3) vs. INDIANA (6)
Indiana in 7 just coz i want reggie to get a chance at winning a ring
DALLAS (4) vs. HOUSTON (5)
Dallas in 5 since nash left the team, Dallas's defense has gotten better
CHICAGO (4) vs. WASHINGTON (5)
Chicago in 5 bulls all the way
don't care what anyone says, Hinrich is their best player! hope chandler plays the way he did before the injury

fftopic: My parents are season ticket holders for the Heat and today we figured out we were chosen as Co-captains, which means we get to meet in the middle of the court w/ all the captains. Thought that was pretty cool. btw heat will dominate all

I believe Bibby is 100%.
and they activated bobby by putting peja on the IL, so to have them both I guess they need to put someone else on the IL?

I think Detroit will have their hands full with Miami, especially since they dont have home court. If they can steal a game they should win the series. The only team that really scares me is Phoenix. Those guys can ball, but I dont know how they'd fare against a great defensive team like Detroit.

The Bulls played pretty well yesterday. Nocioni had an amazing game with 25 points and 18 rebounds. The officials were horrible last night for the first 3 quarters. Seems like the officials have been reading about the whiners complaining about Nocioni.
Finals: Spurs vs Miami. I don't think anyone can stop these teams in their respective conferences. The two best players in the league matching up against each other will make it interesting.

Mavs have no answer for T-Mac and the matchup problems he creates. They'll run him off pick and rolls every time. Their only hope is that Dirk shoots over 60% every game.

Everything you say from here on out in this thread just lost all credibility whatsoever.

Wade can be stopped, it's Shaq whom no one properly sizes up against. Miami is going to have a tough time with Detroit.

Never said the series will be a cakewalk, but Miami will win it bottom line and thats all that matters. And since Dwayne Wade is nothing, lets see what his stats are like when they play detroit, he doesnt take 30 shots a game like that joke iverson, hes a lot more efficient then most of the elite point guards in the league
