the bulls have got to be dissapointed they didn't get the 2nd seed. facing miami, wade and the nba refs in the 1st round is TUFF. at least they got home court. i think right now, that series is a pick'em with the edge going to miami.

orlando is getting swept. so is washington.

raps/nets are going to go 6-7 games.

I agree with you in each series.

In the west.
Dallas-Golden State. I want Warriors to pas, but we all know Dallas will make it.
Houston-Utah. I hope Houston beats the Jazz, I hate them.
Phoenix-Lakers. Phoenix will win, but again I wish it goes the other way.
Denver-San Antonio. Spurs, but it will be a long series.

I really think that everyone is braindead for picking against the nets like they are are terrible team, i am hearing Stephen A. Legs, and Anthony talk about how they have no chance against the bulls or the raptors....

They are taking care of the raptors in six with ease, the nets missed rj for half the season and kristic for nearly the whole thing and still managed to win 41 games with journeymen at nearly every position.

And I am looking at their future next to ours and its very similiar with young guys like boone, nacbar who i would take over frye in a heartbeat, williams, jefferson and kristic.

Toronoto has no bench and Kidd is better than ford, bosh they have no answer for obviously but where are the raptors getting their scoring from? Joey Graham, Mo Pete, Dixon, Raso. This series is not even close

EAST

(8) Orlando @ (1) Detroit----------DET in 4

(7) Washington @ (2) Cleveland ----CLE in 5
(6) New Jersey @ (3) Toronto ------TOR in 6


WEST

(8) Golden State @ (1) Dallas------DAL in 6 (This is not the team the Mavs want to see)
(4) Utah @ (5) Houston-------------UTA in 7
(7) LA Lakers @ (2) Phoenix--------LAL in 7 (Best coach, best player, most dangerous team in the West)
(6) Denver @ (3) San Antonio-------SA in 5

EAST

(8) Orlando @ (1) Detroit --> Detroit 4 - Orlando 2
(4) Miami @ (5) Chicago --> Miami 4 - Chicago 3
(7) Washington @ (2) Cleveland --> Cleveland 4 - Washington 2
(6) New Jersey @ (3) Toronto --> Toronto 4 - New Jersey 3

LMAO @ Denver beating San Antonio.

Are we forgetting what time of the year it is folks ?

And you have the Lakers beating Phoenix, which is even more ridiculous. At least Denver is a GOOD team. Do I honestly think Denver will beat the Spurs? No. But I'm hoping... and the first round almost always has at least one lower seed beating a higher. Since I can't see Miami, Houston or Toronto losing in the first round, I went with Denver. It could be a year where no lower seed beats a higher, but it's not like we're gambling here.

How is my prediction of LA beating the Suns MORE ridiculous ? They played a game 7 last year buddy And since the NBA initiated the first round being best of 7, there have hardly been upsets, until this year's Lakers and Suns series.
