It's not hating, the Hawks will win at least one home game, but the Rockets will shock the world Hopefully

 

[Mexi]

6 max for the Lakers.
we own the rox though, thats why i say 5

we've beaten them with Bynum, without Bynum, without Bynum and Odom
home away.

[elcheato]

It's a different game in the post-season.

Copying me ftw lol

This isn't about getting better, everything slows down in the post-season, and anything can happen. I think the Rockets have a good chance to upset with there great defense.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Cavs in 5 against the Hawks, 6 against the Heat (I think Wade will steal one, and the home crowd will get one)
Magic over Celtics in 6

Lakers over Rockets in 5 (wouldn't be surprised if it went to 6 though)
Mavs over Nuggets in 7 (best series imo, there has already been some chippyness to this series, and both teams are playing great right now, very even imo)

 

[Mexi]

i honestly didnt see you snowy. lol

great minds think alike

it's all matchups
we match up great with them

we have too much depth and size.

honestly, 4-0 in the regular season is no fluke. playoffs are different sure, but we know how to beat them

 

[MapleLeaf]

elcheato why do you think the nuggets are going to obliterate the Mavs in 4 or 5 games?

Sure the Nuggets won the season series 4-0, but 3 of those games were within 3 points, all were within a 6 point range. And Mavs are playing there best basketball of the season.

I usually agree with you but not on this one, I think this is going to be the best, longest series

Back in 07 the Cavs swept the season series vs the Spurs, things happen in the post season :l
