The East:

1 Celtics
8 Hawks
Celtics will sweep the crap out of the Hawks.

4 Cavaliers
5 Wizards
If Arenas is back in a groove, the Wizards are easily talented enough to make this work.

3 Magic
6 Raptors
The Magic would have struggled with the 76ers, but the Raptors match up poorly with them.

2 Pistons
7 76ers
76ers may pick off a game here.

The West:

1 Lakers
8 Nuggets
The Nuggets definitely had a shot with the Hornets -- but the Lakers offense will shred them.

4 Jazz
5 Rockets
The Rockets can't make any mistakes at home -- if they do, this series is over.

3 Spurs
6 Suns
Nightmare matchup for the Spurs. The Suns are built to beat them, and now they will.

2 Hornets
7 Mavericks
Both teams are relishing this matchup. The Hornets know the Mavs are vulnerable, and the Mavs know the Hornets could melt in the bright lights.

I am predicting no fewer than five Game Sevens, and while I think the Celtics are taking this sucker, the Western team I like the most is going to surprise you....

Don't know much about them.

I was always a Marvel man.

Eh, Kobe is ****ing hurt big time and he's still battling it out. Teams are doing what they are supposed to, defending home court. We played a bad 2 games and yet the Jazz barely won both. The lakers will be ok at home.

UteChief · 05-11-2008, 04:32 PM

I wonder how Kobe's injury will play out in game 5. I want the Jazz to win but I want them to win when the Lakers are at full strength.

Ok what I mean is the ending to Iron Man after the credits.

Direckshun · 05-11-2008, 04:32 PM

Game.

I still think the Jazz are tough enough to hang with any team in the West, and I think they have the best shot of any team left in the playoffs of upsetting the Lakers.

I assumed Avengers was DC, but looking around, I guess they are Marvel.

Don't remember them from my Comic reading days back in the 60s.

UteChief · 05-11-2008, 04:36 PM

That was a damn good game.

Have you seen Iron Man yet?

I think they can hang, but they can't win.

Physical teams like the Jaz can be dominating at home, but they won't get the benefit of non-calls on the road.

The Hornets, I think can beat the Lakers.

They don't have anyone that can match up against Paul defensively, and that'll put a lot pressure on the rest of the Laker defense.

That's cool I found it on line.

The Spurs were able to outlast the Hornets in game three because Bowen locked down on Stoyakovich who was killing the Spurs from downtown.

What are the Hornets going to do today to counter?

Pretty much the only thing, I believe, that the Spurs can do is have Ginobli and Parker go for 30+ each. Normally I'd be opposed to this but there's virtually nothing the Hornets can do to stop either player.

UteChief · 05-11-2008, 06:10 PM

I think CP3 can stop Parker.

Yeah.

Still, Kobe is by far the best player in the NBA right now.
