Blazers 4-3. ------------------ "We're sitting there, shooting alcohol into our veins... We could just drink it!" -Tommy Lee
Lakers 4-2. Phil is playing it smart and just caring about home games. If they win all the home games, they win the championship. Unfortunely for the Blazers, Lakers have home court advantage. That will be the clincher in the series. ------------------ Check out the new and improved Draftsource.net
Lakers 4 Portland 0 - This is what you would call a sweep. Shaq dominates Portland with classy shooting. Game 4 is tight, but when Rice hit two consecutive jab step jumpers with 2:35 left on the clock. The Blazers call it quits. Lakers 97 Portland 90 New York 4 Indiana 3 - Ewing is back and that's enough to move them to the promised land. In Game 7 the Knick Allan Houston finally catches fire. Reggie Miller, aka Fester, goes ice cold. That enough to create separation. Six degrees of it. New York 88-82 ------------------ humble, but hungry.
And PSJ finally makes a prediction before a series actually starts... Hate to be just like everyone else, but I'm taking the Knicks in 6 also. ------------------ "It's always funny until someone gets hurt...and then it's just hilarious." -Faith No More
I want the Pacers to win but.... Knicks in 7. Van Gundy's hair plugs fall out after champagne is poured over his head. Any bonus points if that happens Scarv? ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
My heart says Pacers and head says LA.............. LA in 6 Mango ------------------ Live long and prosper. Donate Blood!
Like Mango, my heart is with Indiana, but I know they'll lose. Fakers in 6* (you can guess what that little symbol is for) ------------------ [This message has been edited by The Cat (edited June 05, 2000).] [This message has been edited by The Cat (edited June 06, 2000).]
I'll be generous and give the Pacers a game. LA 4-1. ------------------ "Yes, I came from the 80s...but I didn't kill anybody. Give me a break." -Mike Tramp, former lead singer of White Lion
Lakers went the distance against Portland and Webbers team (note I didn't say Sac). The Lakers, like the great Rockets team, appear to be very consistent and play down to their level of compitition (the only time our Rockets didn't make things more interesting then they should was againt Orlando, though if Nicky makes one of those free throws that series could have been a very different). Indiana is certainly better than Sac and very comparable in balance to the Blazers. Also, Kobe can only guard Rose or Reggie, big advantage to Indiana in the other match-up. So I think they should win at least 2 games, maybe 3. I am thinking it will actually go 7, where trading Antione Davis for a Hscler finally shows up to haunt them, Lakers in 7. ------------------
Pacers 4 Lakers 3 Kobe's defense isn't as good as it seems, Reggie needs to shoot the lights out. Indy should put Rose on Kobe, Miller on Rice as they would match up better. Smits should get an acting coach because he needs to flop every time. If Shaq gets in foul trouble the Lakers are gone, but with the NBC refs that won't happen. ------------------ THE DEAN HAS WRITTEN
Dean- I wish but if it goes to 7 games the refs will just screw Indiana like they did Portland and give the Fakers the title. (an astericked one though) ------------------
Lakers in 6. Shaq's just too much, but the Pacers have enough weapons to snag a couple games. ------------------
Pacers in 4....SWEEP!! I don't care if I lose this godforsaken picking thing. I am the Anti-Shaq. "F" the Lakers!!!! Thank you, drive through. ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
