dang it ABC...pick up more games!


i miss the days when almost EVERYTHING was on NBC....
 
Alright here are my picks:
1st round:
Lakers over Denver in 5
Spurs over Suns in 6
Jazz over Rockets in 5

Washington over the Cavs in 7
Pistons over 76ers in 5

DET over PHI - 6
ORL over TOR - 6

Finals

Barring injury, I think LA is just too strong with their starters, and their bench is just too deep. That's the reason they'll come out of the West,though if SA makes it out of the first, they can match up well with LA. With the East, I think the Lebron factor makes Cleveland scary, even if they aren'treally close to the talent level of Detroit and Boston. Also Wash could go deep if they get passed Cleveland, especially with their success against Boston.

East
Boston sweeps Atlanta, Detroit beats Philly in 5, Orlando beats Toronto 4 to 1, Cleveland beats Washington in 6. Then Boston beats Cleveland in 5 and Orlandoupsets Detroit in 7. Boston beats Orlando in 5 maybe 6 and they are the EC champs.

West
Denver upsets LA in 7 if Melo stays out of trouble, Dallas upsets New Orleans in 7, Phoenix beats San Antonio in 6, and Houston beats Utah in 6. TMac finallygets out the first round lol. Houston will lose to Denver in 7. Dallas will beat Phoenix in 7. Denver and Dallas in a shootout, Mavs take it in 6 becoming theWC champs.

Championship
Boston wins the finals in 5. Damn, I hope it doesn't really work out like that. Stupid Boston
smh.gif
 
This extra day of rest that the Lakers are getting is huge. The Lakeshow just needs to take care of business against Denver and then hopefully we'll haveBynum/Ariza back for Utah...That said we don't NEED them against Utah because I think we match up well against them, but in the conference finals I thinkthat their health will be a big deal to battle Shaq/Amare, Duncan, or West/Chandler...and then on to the Finals

Lakers are takin' it this year...you don't need to see my bracket

Dont worry fam, we only need the rockets fans to show support. I still think we can win this series. We just need to steal one in Utah or not lose athome cause home court is a huge upside for us.
 
Word, protect homecourt, steal one in Utah.

First thing's first though.

Protect homecourt.

- No Yao = No playoffs
- Streak = Played nobodies
- Playoffs = Everybody rolling with the Jazz

Time to prove everybody wrong once again.

...hopefully
