I can't decide what two, due to not knowing what the playoff bracket will hold, but my top 4 picks are:

Eastern Conference:
Cleveland
Miami

Western Conference:
Dallas
Phoenix
(Denver)

I say (Denver) because if they get a good seat in the playoffs, they will go far(and because i said 4 instead of 5 :D). If not, I'm not too sure.

I would LOVE to see Cleveland vs. Denver in the finals. I wouldn't even care who won it, that would be some hella good games. Two most exciting teams in the league. While Dallas and Phoenix are good, they are... well.... boring to watch. Their games put me to sleep.

I see detroit still gets no love :)

Wow, really?

Denver bores the crap out of me because the guys still look like they are learning Karl's system. And Cleveland sucks. If they didn't get so many favorable calls on the offensive end, especially for boards (number one offensive rebounding team my ass), no way would they win close to the number of games they have :D

I think it'll come down to Phoenix, Dallas and San-Antonio in the west, Detroit and Miami in the east and that REALLY depends on how Wade performs. Or rather, how his mutilated shoulder keeps up to the rigours of an NBA playoffs.

I am really looking forward to this season :D

My sleeper in the west == Houston. Mcgrady and Yao are practically un-stoppable. Unfortunately, the rest of the team is very tempermental.

My sleeper in the east == Chicago. Those guys can flat-out play.

Spurs in the West, Detroit in the East. Spurs will win it all.

Yeah, I'd say Houston is a sleeper but I think it depends on their health (same with the Heat).

Ok, well, like 90%. I don't think the Suns vs Mavs are boring. I mean 100% as in the predictions. You are spot in with your final four imho. As far as to who wins the whole deal, I'd like to say Suns, but it's really up in the air to be honest.

You really surprised me with that one.

Thought you were going to say that Nash was going to win the finals.

i keed, i keed :captnkill:

Well... its a good chance the Cavs are going against Heat in the first round, so my predictions may be wrong for final 4 due to that being impossible. :D

I was going to say Phoenix in the West until I saw their game recently against the Spurs. West Spurs for me, the Mavs seem to have fallen away despite their awesome record in the regular season. Miami in the east may do the opposite, poor season but coming right at the right time. Detroit are awesome at the moment though. If Houston play like they did the other day with TMac putting up 39 points, and something like 18 assists they could go all the way. Its hard to call based on form since so many guys are coming back from injury.

My underdog pick(Denver) OWNING San Antonio Spurs. At least we know which team has the better bench. :thumbsup:

I really do hope Denver and Cleveland make it to the end. That is going to be hella awesome.

Spurs have not played well without their bench at all.

I meant with their bench, but the pistons and suns seem to have quite strong secondary guys.

i've revised my final four after looking at the lineup.

Rockets
Nuggets
Miami
Cleveland


Nuggets
Cleveland

No clue who will win between these.


Ok ok... I know that isn't realistic, but that is what I WANT to happen. :D

Ginobli. Horry.

That is all :cool:

They have a pretty decent bench. Only Miami and the Lakers probably have terrible benches. Everyone else has decent players.

Suns over Pistons in 6.

Nash, Marion, Stodamire, FTW.

By 5 points. You call that getting spanked? Shaq was victimized for half his fouls. I've NEVER seen Ben Wallace pull a Vlade but he was in rare form today. It just brings the game into disrepute.

Play all out, like Marion or Howard, don't fake.

I did find it amusing that both the earlier games had identical scores though :cool:

Phoenix needs to tweak a little. No way that game should have been that close.

If the lakers hadn't let up in the 2nd half and if barbosa and marion hadn't stepped up, it would have been very easily the other way round.

But, I am still thinking sweep.

after seeing that game, Barbosa(a bench player) deserves MVP more than Nash. It was really irritating hearing the announcers say "Nash had to step up this game to pull out the victory!" . Bull****. Every single person on the Sun's minus Nash was playing good. Marion, Staudamire, Barbosa(again, only a bench player) carried the team to victory. I'm almost willing to bet the score would have been higher for the suns if they DIDN"T have Nash that game.

The Suns should have beat the Lakers by at least 30 points. Its sad watching how Kobe really is the ONLY person on his team. Hell, the Sun BENCH is better than the Laker's starting lineup minus Kobe. Its terrible watching the Lakers play. Kobe can only do but so much. The rest of the team just downright stinks. I saw a LARGE number of times Kobe would pass the ball lining up a PERFECT shot for his teammates and they would miss. Give the Lakers ONE Shawn Marion, Staudamire, or hell even Bench player Barbosa and the Lakers would have killed the Sun's.

/ready for Nuggets game :)



This is hands down the most interested i have been in the NBA playoffs ever. I've seen every single game thus far.
