So the Playoffs are all set. Options

[DoubleJ]

Every time I think about playoffs, I think about this:

Ok so here are the west matchups

Lakers vs. Nuggets

Hornets vs Mavs

Spurs vs Suns

Jazz vs Rockets

I like:

The Lakers in 6

Spurs in 5

Jazz in 5

My upset will be the Mavs over the Hornets

There is just too much playoff experience for the Mavs not to do it. If they don't, they should just be labeled chokers forever.

Lakers in 5
Hornets in 7
Spurs in 6
Jazz in 5

Yeah, I was struggling with that Lakers series. I gave the nuggets the benefit of the doubt and went with the over. I think the Suns will miss Marion in the playoffs. That Mavs series is definitely going to go 7 though.

[Tung]

Lakers in 5. Lakers won series 3-0 this season, with average margin of 16 points. Denver doesn't play defense. They will steal one game though. Lakers win 4-1

Hornets might not have experience, but they are a much better team than Dallas. But Dallas, has depth, and will fight hard. But Chris Paul is going to kill Jason kidd, and this game is going to seven games. Hornets win 4-3.

I like the Spurs because they are too good to lose 1st round. Phoenix has proven to be good lately with Shaq. Although Shaq will eventually wear off, and Phoenix doesn't play defense. I like Spurs winning 4-2.

No Yao Ming. No Win. Rafer Alston is out for beginning of this playoff round, so I like Utah. Utah is crazy good, and will kill Rockets in 4-1.

[DoubleJ]

Of course the Jazz are going to eat the Rockets alive. McGrady is going to go off in this series though.

The Spurs are going to give the Suns all they can handle and then some. Nobody on that team NOBODY can guard Timmy. Ginobli and Parker are just going to run around in the paint all day getting Shaq into foul trouble.

Denver will definitely steal a game, but they have the talent that they should have been able to keep up with the Lakers. When you have two people on your team that can drop 30 a night in their sleep, and still not win, that is a damn shame.

I just can't see the Mavs losing this one, as much as I want Kidd to lose. Whoever wins this series, will be the point guard for team USA in the summer.

damn. i wanted the mavs to lose last night so the nuggets could play new orleans. whatever though.

i like new orleans over dallas, but i'm not completely sure about that.

i don't think i'll ever be able to go for the spurs, so i say suns in 7 (crazy, i know.)

what about the east people?? haha, i think boston looks good :) but detroit will be good competition down the stretch.

[DoubleJ]

Boston vs Hawks

Detroit vs 76ers

Magic vs Raptors

Cavs vs Wizards


The Breakdown:

Boston vs Hawks

Boston in 5. I think the Hawks will manage to steal one game. Boston has that great defense, but the Hawks are hot right now and that has to go for something.

Detroit vs 76ers. Same thing as the Celtics series. I expect both of the Andre's to go off in one game.

Magic vs Raptors

Magic in 6. The Magic will win this series on the strength that they have the better lineup and they are deeper off the bench. The Raptors are struggling with all the injuries and what not, and I can't see them banging down low with Howard for too long.

My upset pick: Wizards over Cavs in 6. Here's the thing. The Cavs have too many liabilities on offense to keep up with all of the firepower of the Wizards. Remember this: While the Cavs were beating them this year, the Wizards didn't have Butler nor Arenas. NOW, they will have both.

[Tung]

Boston in 5 over Atlanta. I think Atlanta will steal one, over a Mike Bibby buzzer beater.

I think everyone is underestimating the Sixers. They are a very athletic team, and are peaking right now. However, Detroit is too good, so I got Pistons over Sixers in 6.

Toronto is playing like crap right now. I like Orlando as the Dark horse to win the Eastern Conference. I say Orlando in 5 over Raptors.

Cavaliers aren't as good this year. Wizards looking for revenge. This is going to be the best 1st Round East Playoffs. I say Wizards in 7 games.

[*Girthy*]

NOT FUNNY, Spurs > Lakers

[salcha4u]

NOt even. YOU'RE NOT FUNNY.

[Tung]

NOT FUNNY, Spurs > Lakers

I'm sorry Kevin, but you were probably blind, and didn't see who the Spurs were playing. They were playing the Suns, not the Lakers. So I don't see where all this Spurs > Lakers stuff is coming from. Is that bandwagoning already just because the Spurs played an amazing game today? I'll keep my judgments after 3 games at least to claim such bold remarks. And I'm sure the Lakers wouldn't need 2 OT's just to beat the Suns at home.

[DoubleJ]

The Suns are in trouble if they can't run over the Spurs on an off shooting night. Imagine when they actually get it going! Tung, you know that shot Timmy hit was bananas!
