NBA

[Guest RoWiN~O~]

haha

I don't know why i chose the Nets over Raptors. Probably because Vince Carter is on the Nets now...

hmmm

but i haven't really followed the eastern games as much as i used to~~

i haven't really seen the raptors play haha

i know bosh is really good now~

WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

(1)Mavs vs. (8)Warriors (mavs win: better D, much more experience. golden state's offense will be shaky in playoffs cuz players will be too excited/nervous)

(2)Suns vs. (7)Lakers (suns win: exact same result last year but chip in amare and a much improved barbosa)

(3)Spurs vs. (6)Nuggets (spurs win: AI and camelo has not synchronized yet to bring the team up to the elite level)

(4)Jazz vs. (5)Rockets (rockets win: as long as yao and tmac are healthy, they should beat the jazz)

EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

(1)Pistons vs. (8)Magic (pistons win: a much better team overall. magics need to pound the ball to howard but they really havent been doing so. so no win for magics here)

(2)Cavs vs. (7)Wizards (cavs. wizards without agent 0 is nothing)

(3)Raptors vs. (6)Nets (no idea. i want to say raptors but nets has an equal chance of winning it)

(4)Heat vs. (5)Bulls (Bulls: judging from the season, i think bulls can pull it off. it will be close matchup and wade's shoulder / shaq are the x-factors)

[Guest I<3SunSunYeMi]

well,i just hope nuggets doesnt suck anyways

[Guest GO!zilla]

raptors is a young team. they'll do well if they play their style of game with bosh.

new jersey has too much exp with kidd/vinsanity/jefferson. if their game isnt on, they'll still find ways to score and contribute.

new jersey in 6. (they did go to the finals few years back with kidd and jefferson.)

what you did in regular season really doesnt matter when playoffs start...

so after saying that, i want my lakers to give suns the run for their money.

Not saying much considering the East back then had... nobody.

It's like how AI got to the finals and.. the Sixers did absolutely nothing anyways.

[Guest Kit_Starter]

Hey when did we all turn soft now by not even predicting how many games each series will last? I'll do that and more.

First Round:

Mavericks over Warriors in 4

Suns over Lakers in 5

Spurs over Nuggets in 5

Rockets over Jazz in 5

Pistons over Magic in 5

Cavaliers over Wizards in 4

Nets over Raptors in 6

Bulls over Heat in 7

Second Round:

Mavericks over Rockets in 5

Spurs over Suns in 6

Pistons over Bulls in 7

Cavaliers over Nets in 6

Conference Finals:

Mavericks over Spurs in 7

Pistons over Cavaliers in 5

Finals:

Mavericks over Pistons in 6

Finals MVP: Dirk Nowitzki

Not too many surprises I don't think. Dallas will be your new champs.

WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

(1)Mavs vs. (8)Warriors -> Really hope the Warriors pick up and upset Dallas

(2)Suns vs. (7)Lakers -> Still up for my fave team. Although I still think the Spurs is a very big hurdle.

(3)Spurs vs. (6)Nuggets -> They can really break any team.

(4)Jazz vs. (5)Rockets -> With Yao and T-Mac in sync, this team will contend.

EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

(1)Pistons vs. (8)Magic -> Pretty much a no-contest but I'd welcome a Magic upset if possible.

(2)Cavs vs. (7)Wizards -> With Agent 0 and Butler out, the Cavs will most likely run down the Wizards.

(3)Raptors vs. (6)Nets -> The Nets have enough experience against the Raptors.

(4)Heat vs. (5)Bulls -> I don't see a repeat, honestly.

i agree with u on the numbers.

but i think its gonna be mavs over the spurs in 6 and i believe the finals is gonna be in 5 over the pistons.

east still has nothing.

plus nj has so much more exp then toronto. thats why i pick them over toronto.

[Guest Slug]

Warriors are going to meet the Pistons in the Finals!

The only team I'm worried about is the Spurs. Hopefully Phoenix can knock the Spurs off.

[Guest RoWiN~O~]

Well all i can say is

This season's playoffs will be exciting

The first round teams are matched up pretty well.

I just hope my Rockets and Suns can come out victorious! Go Nash! Go Yao & T-Mac!!

*btw when do they choose the season MVP??

just curious~~~

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

^ MVP voting starts immediately after the regular season's over so... right about now. MVP winner should be announced during the 1st round or so. Dirk's gonna get it, as much as I'd prefer Nash to get it.

raptors is a young team. they'll do well if they play their style of game with bosh.

new jersey has too much exp with kidd/vinsanity/jefferson. if their game isnt on, they'll still find ways to score and contribute.

new jersey in 6. (they did go to the finals few years back with kidd and jefferson.)

Jefferson had a much smaller role back then with the Nets.

They made it to Finals both times because they had Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn and Kerry Kittles playing with Jason Kidd, a much better, balanced Nets team than the Nets team of present day.

Nets are weak with their big men, I doubt Moore, Collins or old man Robinson will be able to handle Bosh, and they certainly can't handle the perimeter shooting of Bargnani.

[Guest GO!zilla]

u toronto people have too much pride.

imagine raptors with bosh/vince/tmac

muahhaahahaha. too bad

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

Yeah, ball hog central of the NBA and a payroll close to the Knicks'.

Vince and T-Mac couldn't play together anyway.

[Guest res0nate]

Lol, no thanks thinking about Tmac & Vince.

I'd take a handicapped McGrady over Vince.

[Guest RoWiN~O~]

yea

if t-mac & carter were on the same team...

it wouldn't be a TEAM anymore xD

mmm mvp should be announced by at least this weekend huh? Yea i bet Dirk will get it...even though i kinda want Nash to get it again haha~

but 3 times in a row....some people don't believe a guy should win it three times in a row~ so yea

[Guest plusone]

u toronto people have too much pride.

imagine raptors with bosh/vince/tmac

muahhaahahaha. too bad

i would instantly buy out vince carter or trade him for peanuts to charlotte

[Guest Atron]

man I really hope the rockets pass the jazz for the first round. Tmac deserves to come out of the first round

[Guest GO!zilla]

you know who deserves to get out of first round... kevin garnett. lol poor guy. i hope he comes to lakers

[aznboy78]

Spurs vs Heat in the finals.

Spurs will win it this year.
