Wow not followed much this season, Lakers had a shocker then?

Some good match ups in there though ;o
Just read a preview and some enticing games to say the least!

Really pulled out all the stops with that OP. An image would be nice. Also your schedule times are off by an hour.

Hoping for a Spurs Heat rematch and for Blazers to beat the Rockets (better mu for SA) and it's easy to hate Harden + Howard.

I think Spurs have an even better shot at winning the trophy than last year with their bench stepping up big time, provided they can avoid a matchup with OKC in the conference finals. Heat should be guaranteed, I simply don't see Pacers winning the East.

Also, I'm curious if the Clippers/Rockets can make a deep run.

Yes, Spurs are always the secret assassin. I think this is their best year yet, if Parker can remain healthy. I think the Heat will not be able to three-peat. Nets and Pacers have a good chance to knock them out before the finals, while all of the West teams can defeat them. I hope BN or GSW can make a surprise run. My brain tells me its going to be Spurs though.

Leastern:

Pacers > Hawks 4-0 (easiest choice of the first round)

Heat > Lolcats 4-0 (Al Jeff will get his but the Lollers just don't have anything close to enough punch to beat the Heat)

Nets > Raps 4-2 (Just too much experience here vs the newbs on the block. Sorry Canada).

Bulls > Wiz 4-1 (The Wiz have to be the worst five seed I can remember in a long time. This is always supposed to be the close MU but the Bulls will crush the Wiz badly).

Bestern

Spurs > Mavs 4-2 (I'm gonna give the Mavs two wins based on Dirk and coaching).

OKC > Grizz 4-2 (tough first rounder for OKC but they'll be eager to avenge last year's loss and show how much better they are with WB playing.

Clips > GSW 4-1 (this one had upset potential but the Dubs losing Bogut is too big a hurdle to overcome. Dubs will have to gamble with small ball and the Clips are prob the worst team to try this against. Clips also are the best at defending GSW's greatest strength in 3pt shooting).

Houston > PDX 4-2 (Portland's out of their depth. They remind me too much of the bland Joe Johnson Hawks of yesteryear. Dwight's health is a concern but they have the best backup C in the league by far to fill in if need be. LMA's high volume low efficiency play will be found out these Playoffs--I think he'll flunk out big time.
