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....

Pauls owning them now....the Hornets are making the Spurs look flat silly.

Deberg_1990 · 05-03-2008, 10:55 PM

Good god.....

Im glad this thing is on so late so only about 12 people can watch the Spurs get embarrased.....

They took Duncan out of it and nobody else shot well in the 2nd half.

If the Spurs lose on Monday its over....

This is what happened. The team did what they were supposed to do. They won at home.

Basileus777 · 05-03-2008, 10:58 PM

I'm looking looking forward to the Boston-Atlanta game tomorrow. I hope the Hawks can send the Celtics back home crying.

I've thought they've been for real since January. But like most people thought they'd go belly up in the playoffs being that their a young team with no playoff experience.
I think this series may go 6-7 and if they get by SA they have to be a serious contender.

**RealSNR** · 05-04-2008, 01:50 PM

I'm not even going to talk about Celtics/Hawks. That was pathetic.

Really good 1st quarter so far in LA. Boozer and Kobe are taking control of the game.

Basileus777 · 05-04-2008, 02:06 PM

How can you put Kyle ****ing Korver on Kobe?

Like Sloan said, we have no one to guard Kobe. Doesnt matter what they do.

You need Boozer to stop playing like an idiot. He needs to stop with these awful passes/TOs and start attacking Gasol in the post. He went way from what was working. In the opening minutes of the game, he took the ball to the hole and had Gasol in quick foul trouble. Now he is afraid to go to the hoop. Quit shooting jumpers and use some power.

Hell no. Boozer keep doing what you're doing!

Basileus777 · 05-04-2008, 03:06 PM

Why does Sloan even bother putting Brewer on Kobe just keep AK on him and play zone. It prevents post game and makes it a shooting game which Lakers haven't been doing well.

Sloan already getting outcoached. He must get tired of being manhandled by Phil Jackson all the time.

kcxiv · 05-04-2008, 04:13 PM

Well, they tried to make a nice little come back. Lakers going to win game 1.
