    Well, I created the other two Eastern conference playoffs threads, so I felt obligated to do this one. I don't really have much to say about this series except Detroit should be ashamed if it takes them anything more than 5 games to win it.

    If any dissenters to this opinion exist, please reply in order to make this thread infinitely more interesting.

    Game 1 set to start in about an hour (6:00 CST). I won't be home for the game, so I figured to make this thread now (just is my little effort to make the Dish a bit more organized for this year's playoffs than last year).

    Sorry, but no way this series is deserving of its own thread. Same thing with the Cavs/Wizards series. The NBA should just forfeit both series and put the Cavs/Pistons in the second round.

    i'm hoping the rockets will have a look at diener in free agency. i hope he doesn't nail too many 3's if he makes it onto the court.

    Dude, that's exactly what I thought. And if this thread falls off the page, so be it. But, you never know I guess...

    No way in hell I'll make a thread for Cavs-Wizards. Unless the Wizards somehow win a game, which would actually be extremely sad.

    I just hope it doesn't go into overtime and prevent me from catching the rockets/jazz game on time, that's all.

    Orlando could steal one. They've got some pretty good pieces.

    Howard needs a lot on offense. The magic were fools for letting Clifford Ray go. He's now tutoring Al Jefferson who's blossomed as a low-post scorer.

    i hope we never let thibedeoux (sp? you know who i'm talking about) go. We also need a good guard shotting coach i think to work on rafer, vspan, and captain kirk.

    Sorry, but Omeka Okafor > Dwight Howard so far in their respective careers.

    I understand that D-Howard supposedly has more 'upside', but Omeka is just a more solid player IMO but he gets no recognition for it.

    Magic missed 18 free throws. Howard missed 8 of them.

    Howard, is still very raw in offense, despite his improvements. He'll come good though, since he's only 21... there's so much time to work on his game.
