Looks like it's gonna play out exactly like the seeding suggests, hmm?

Best first round series will be Denver/Okla City. Hard to call it. We've had just a little time to see the Thunder with Perkins.

Thunder vs Lakers in West Finals, Lakers in 7

Bulls vs Heat in East Finals, Bulls in 7


Lakers vs Bulls in NBA Finals, Lakers in 6. Kobe wins title #6 on MJ's court & wins Finals MVP

Also, the Knicks get the Celtics in 6 in the 1st round.

Knicks over Celtics, huh?

That Perk trade still got you down?

I wouldn't worry, the Knicks are still a no-defense D'Antoni group, through and through.

Oops I put down the wrong picks. I was exchanging picks with a friend of mine and I copied and pasted his over mine. I edited my original post with my actual picks. Sorry guys.

Yea, the C's are just injured. I cant trust Jermaine O'neal at C for us with Shaq out & even with Shaq healthy he wont play no more than 20-25 minutes a game. People dont realize the small things Perk did for this team.

Plus, Rondo is playing like he is hurt & the bench just hasnt come together like some thought. If they do get my the Knicks the Heat will get them in the semis.

Hope you're right.

Don't want the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Bulls or Knicks to win it all.

Pretty sure I don't have to worry about the Celtics or Knicks. Not sure I have to worry about the Heat either. They struggle against good teams and they are bound to play at least one team with dominant big man.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Heat fall by the 2nd round. Their composition and style led them to spank all that sub-.500 garbage that populates the East, and be bad to mediocre against the teams that actually matter.

Exactly. No toughness in the paint and lack of production at PG will doom the Heat.

Just my two cents.

The magic aren't losing to the bulls and they won't lose in 5 games. Magic matchup well with the bulls. Unfortunately for the bulls they don't matchup well with Orlando. Orlando is 1-1 against Chicago with a depleted roster. Won when the big trade went down and was at Chicago and lost by only three without the leagues best center Quentin Richardson, and jj reddick a week ago. Magic in that series in 6 and it'll be 3-1 going back to chi.

Means nothing.

Remember when the Patriots were undefeated and had already beaten the Giants during the regular season?

I'm not saying the Magic can't or won't beat the Bulls. I'm just saying your logic based on two games is pointless. Not to mention, that was the regular season. It's the playoffs now and teams are going to ramp up the intensity with everything on the line. It's easy to get lethargic throughout an 82 game season. I'm guessing the Bulls slept-walk into the game against the Magic(- Howard).

Bulls still had something to play for. The core of this bulls team has yet to win a series. Orlando is stacked with veterans. My point with those games was to show the matchup issues. It's a dream draw for Orlando. Boston and Miami get to punch each other while we get Chicago which is not a kryptonite for the magic.

I'd rather play the Celtics and Heat over the Bulls personally. Aside from KG and Bosh, they are severely lacking another big.
