ROUND1 TWolves in 4 (Denver could win 1 game, but I doubt it) Lakers in 6 (I think we will really only win 1, but I am trying to be optimistic) Spurs in 6 (Mem gives them a couple of good games) Kings in 7 (tough call) Pacers in 5 (Boston sucks) Nets in 6 (Marbury creates some drama) Pistons in 4 (Bucks totaly overwhelmed) Char in 7 (Experience and Davis squek by) ROUND 2 Twolves in 6 Lakers in 6 (last hurrah from this Lakers) Pacers in 6 Pistons in 7 (Nets battle) ROUND 3 Twolves in 6 (Lakers finally break down) Pistons in 6 (Pacers forget how to score, Pistons score just enough) ROUND 4 Twolves in 6 (defense controls, but Wolves just have more options to score in a grind out affair)
<u>ROUND 1 WEST:</u> <b>Nuggets</b> over TWolves (3) - You heard it here first. Well, except for Nuggets4 but he doesn't counts since he's a homer. Twolves dismantle the team in the offseason, Rockets get Garnett. <b>Lakers</b> over Rockets (2) - of course I want the Rockets to win, but the Lakers are coming in pretty hot. Our only hope is if Kobe goes on trial or something during the series. <b>Spurs</b> over Grizz (0) - I believe that you need a true team leader in the playoffs. We'll see if Hubie Brown can prove me wrong. <b>Kings</b> over Mavs (3) - home court advantage saves the Kings, otherwise the Mavs would win this series. <u>ROUND 1 EAST:</u> <b>Pacers</b> over Celtics (0) - the Celtics tried to tank this season. Obviously, they failed. Pacers easily. <b>Nets</b> over Knicks (1) - the Knicks still haven't really gelled...the Nets have been together for a while, that will be the difference. <b>Pistons</b> over Bucks (2) - the Bucks surprisingly put up a fight, but they won't win. <b>Heat</b> over Hornets (3) - maybe the closest matchup of the playoffs. Heat pull it out. <u>2nd ROUND WEST:</u> <b>Kings</b> over Nuggets (1) - Nuggets run ends here...they gave everything they had against Minny. <b>Spurs</b> over Lakers (2) - It will be a close series, but the Spurs will get it done in 6 so they don't have to go back to LA. <u>2nd ROUND EAST:</u> <b>Pacers</b> over Heat (0) - second consecutive sweep for the Pacers. The next round will be a little tougher. <b>Pistons</b> over Nets (1) - the Nets are finally taken down in the East. <u>CONFERENCE FINALS:</u> <b>Spurs</b> over Kings (3) - the Kings get rejuvenated by the Nuggets series after sweating out round 1...but the Spurs persevere. <b>Pacers</b> over Pistons (3) - might be the best series of all the playoffs. Pacers pull out game 7 at home on a Reggie Miller last second shot. <u>FINALS:</u> <b>Pacers</b> over Spurs (3) - after sweeping the first two rounds, the Pacers go 7 in the last two. JO cancels out Duncan, Artest holds down Ginobili. Pacers win.
You just became my favorite poster. Seriously, I don't see the Nugs winning the seriers. No way in hell. I see Minnesota winning game 1, I see the Nugs stealing games 2 & 3, and then Minnesota realizing they have talent and just beating us down.
Man, the east sucks with the exception of about 2 teams. It is showing right now on ESPN. This has to be one of the most boring games ever. IND and BOS. It's nearly a 30pt game...Boring....
wolves in 4 rox in 6 spurs in 4 mavs in 7 pacers in 5 det in 5 knicks in 7 heat in 7 wolves in 5 spurs in 7 (rox get hot and stay that way) pacers in 4 det in 5 spurs in 6 pacers in 7 pacers in 7 (CHAMPS)
That's all that matters. The finals will be boring again because of the east. It's the Western Conference that matters.
