Playoffs start on Saturday.

EAST
(1) Cleveland (66-16) vs. (8) Detroit (39-43)
(2) Boston (62-20) vs. (7) Chicago (41-41)
(3) Orlando (59-23) vs. (6) Philadelphia (41-41)
(4) Atlanta (47-35) vs. (5) Miami (43-39)

WEST
(1) Los Angeles (65-17) vs. (8) Utah (48-34)
(2) Denver (54-28) vs. (7) New Orleans (49-33)
(3) San Antonio (54-28) vs. (6) Dallas (50-32)
(4) Portland (54-28) vs. (5) Houston (53-29)

I could see Orlando and Denver getting bounced out here in the first round. The two 4/5 series look pretty good though.

ECF will be CLE vs. BOS w/CLE winning to get to the Finals
WCF will be LA vs. SA w/LA winning to get to the Finals

it's gonna be Kobe vs. Lebron in this year's NBA Finals, & Kobe's gonna win it cuz he has a lot more depth on his team than Lebron does.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

crazy that the 8th seed in the west almost won 50 games.

the first round matchups this year are very good across the board.

i think denver perseveres this year.

Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

On ESPN Doc Rivers is saying Garnett may miss the entire post-season with his strained knee.. I think this changes a lot of things

I think this is the best playoffs in a loooong time. Not even the 8th seeds are completely pushovers since both the Pistons and the Jazz can and will put up a fight in their series.

Don't sleep on the Magic, they didn't finish their season that strong but they could be the surprise team in the East.

I just rewound the DVR and watched it again. It was like an English teacher talking to a fidgety 10th grader.

Looks like the latter. Rose looked nervous as hell and really didn't want to do this interview.

The dude scored 36 points to tie Kareem in the rokkie playoff scoring record, led his underdog team to a meorable win against the defending champions who "never lose"@ home. And all you can do is pick on his interviewing skills? Where's the love guys?
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
