~Official NBA playoffs thread~

I was pro-Lakers last year, I\'m tired of them. Shaq has gotten to my last nerve.

I say.... [SIZE=10]DALLAS OVER LA!![/SIZE]

I like the mavs and would love seeing them destroy the lakers.... but it\'s not gonna happen. I say the best team against the Lakers would definately be the Spurs. Spurs beat them 4-0 this season, but Lakers only show their colors during the playoffs.

Coredweller, you see how everyone else is saying Spurs will be the sundrops? Get ready to pay up.

Before I make my predictions, I must hereby declare that the NBA is trash, and I only watch it out if pure boredom, simply because all of the players are pompous ****s, including Shaq, who has turned into what once was a Traveling Center who was halfway good, but now a Traveling Crybaby.

Basically, my predictions are everything that Tony said, except for the fact that Indiana will beat NO, and, one of the bigger predictions...

Dallas in 7 over the Lakers. Fresh German Hops, my friends.

See Yuz.

Everybody might want to wait until all of the games have been played tonight and tomorrow, before you post your brackets. Cuz teams can still change what seed they are......

If Minnesota and Portland both win (most likely they will, Wolves get Grizzlies and Blazers get the Clippers tonight), LA gets Dallas in the first round.

Lakers go home in 3. :nerd:

Oh my gosh... Dallas sucks guys. Lakers have met them 4 times, and have won 3 of those meetings... 3 in a row as a matter of fact.

Lakers will take that in 4. Dallas has NO dominating presence down low that can even stir Shaq.

Screw Dallas.

I gotta agree with Vapor, except mavs don\'t suck.

Right now its halftime and Mavs are leading 45 to 41. But that truely sucks since Duncan AND Jackson are injured.

More or less, Screw you.

Dallas in 7, Shaq\'s a crybaby, and they\'re tired. There\'s a reason these last dynasties have only 3 peated and not gone any farther.

See Yuz.

EAST

Detroit - Milwaukee - Despite not having Ben Wallace, Pistons win it in 6.

Indiana - New Orleans - New Orleans playing well going into playoffs, Indiana is not, Hornets in 7.

Philadelphia - Boston - Aside from my bias, Boston is on a winning streak heading into the playoffs but not playing that great, Boston also turns it up come playoff time.  Boston in 6.

New Jersey - Orlando - Neither team playing great, New Jersey in 7.

Either Pistons or Pacers out of the east

Either Lakers or Kings our of the west

Well, since the Pacers aren\'t playing the Hornets, you\'re all wrong.    The Pacers play the Celtics in the first round because the Pacers are now the 3rd seed after beating NJ tonight, setting up a good 2nd round matchup if Indy and NJ both prevail.

Im gonna say Pacers vs. Kings in the finals, Kings in 6.

bah, now I\'ll have to adjust all my matchups.  I\'ll just wait for tomorrow before fixing things.

me too, that angers me.

Celts over Pacers in 6.  Celts turn it up come playoff time, this year will be no different.

Welp, turns out the Blazers lost to the Clippers so the Lakers are saved from the Mavericks in the first round.... Lucky them.
