<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.
