btw the denver / portland game is in process, so the #4 and #5 in the west can switch around, if portland loses, i will switch, i just wanted to go ahead and get this thread up

 

[The Young One]

We are the sixth seed not the 7th thats the bulls.

 

[MapleLeaf]

fixed

 

[MapleLeaf]

so anyone got any predictions?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think the Hornets can beat the Nuggets, and I like the matchups with the Mavs and Spurs.

 

[RipCity32]

Let's just get the massacre over with lol.

 

[RipCity32]

Anyway, my predictions:

East:
Cavs over Pistons (probably 5 or 6 games)
Celtics over Bulls (in 5)
Magic over 76ers (in 6)
Hawks over Heat (in 7)

I don't see any upsets here at all.

West:
Lakers over Jazz (in 5)
Nuggets over Hornets (in 7)
Mavericks over Spurs (in 7)
Rockets over Trail Blazers (in 7)

The Rockets - Blazers series could really go either way..

 

[Mexi]

I'm calling an L.A. sweep
Spurs over Mavs in 6
Nuggets over Hornots in 7 sounds right
Rockets over Blazers in 6 w/ or w/out HCA

Cavs sweep Detroit
Celtics over Bulls in 6, but it def. can go 7
Hawks over Heat in 6
Magic over Philly in 5

 

[Rios15]

Cavs over Pistons
Celtics over Bulls
76ers over Magic
Hawks over Heat

Lakers over Jazz
Hornets over Nuggets
Spurs over Mavs
Trail Blazers over Rockets

I got Cavs going all the way

i can honestly see chicago beating boston now that KG wont be playing in that series

 

[elcheato]

Lets go Jazz

 

[Mexi]

 

[RipCity32]

Mexi, "Lets go Pistons."

 

[elcheato]

Pretty sure that David Stern wants to see a LeBron vs Kobe match up in the finals, so the refs should be on the sides of the Cavs and Lakers all the way.
