Playoffs r Finally Here!!!!!! Vote

lakers win


blazers guarded shaq fairly well, but let kobe do his thing. If the blazer's want to beat the lakers they're going to have find a REAL kobe stopper on that team, and try to do the same job against shaq. I doubt they can do both at the same time or consistantly.


Mavs win


i was actually cheering for the wolves for some reason, but Garnett proved my theory right, he's not a great leader, there was plenty of opportunities to tie the game up in the fourth but Garnett couldn't hit, and his teammates weren't pulling through, it'd be one thing if the Mavs were playing great d....but it's a proven fact that dallas has the worst D in the playoffs in the west...for dallas to win, they just need to do the same thing,play Najara more and that chinese dude who can draw garnett out of the post. and for the Wolves to get their one on the average win in the playoffs they need a monster game from garnett and from everyone else.


Celtics win

lets face it iverson is rusty as hell and can't hang with diversity of the celtics and hurt or not the combo of pierce and Walker is too much for that one man team called philly...i wouldn't be suprised if boston swept philly


Indiana wins


shocked me that the nets would play so poorly, but what didn't shock me was o'neals play. Dude is great and they look poised to upset or take it to the limits. If the nets want to win they need to take advantage of the pick and roll that i've noticed indiana is vonerable to and try to light it up behind the arc


Hornets win

the magic will win game 3 but that's it, the magic are too inexperienced plus the hornets match up too well against them and their talent outweighs the magics...plus mcgrady ain't much of a leader yet


Spurs win

like i said this series will be interesting and will be like a rollercoaster...just look at the first game sonics first half spurs second. i think this all amounts to heart, San Antonio somtimes seems to play with no enthusiasm or interest, same with Seattle but both can turn it up especially the sonics if vin baker can play like that all through out the series and you know about Gary Payton. i still pick the spurs overall but the sonics still could pull an upset. its like one of the announcers said during the game "it's better to loose by 30, than by 1"


kings win


Utah will give them a challenge , and maybe win a game but the kings are too quick and YOUNG for them.  plain and simple

[min0rity]

u goan stick with that prediction after game 1? lol  

we'll see....even if the spurs do beat seattle they won't make the 2nd round with either lakers AND blazers

[Don Jacob]

i agree with minority, i doubt san antonio will make it past the 2nd round (if they make it) against the lakers (most likely) or blazers

its like one of the announcers said during the game "it's better to loose by 30, than by 1"

lol that mussa been bill walton who said sum shit like that! lol. i mean, in game 1...id MUCH rather lose by 1 then by 30. One good thing for seattle is...that they were in tha game up until tha half. So they can look back at that, rather then jus bein blown out frum start to finish. Losin by 30 in tha first game really can deflate a team. Especially cus seattle played a GOOD game in tha first half...and still werent up. Tha only good point i heard made about that. Was when, sumbody was saying that....when yur down by 30 points, and theres no chance to win...it might help u out for game 2 cus tha winning team might come back over-confident. rather then, if they win by 1...and then come back for game 2, knowing they gotta bring tha A game. but regardless, id take a 1 point loss over a 30 point loss lol

THAAAAAAAANK YOU   finally someone who is normal lol.  they won the first game anyway, ok it may not mean nuthin but it'll be god for Bostons confidence,  I hope they advance to 2nd round and at least be a thorn in their opponents ass so they can prove they werent just lucky this season,  of course they wont win the title but if they make 2nd round, it'll at least be good for them.

dumbass.....even the critics think the 76ers will win the east...go stick to preaching bullshit

['Illicit']

stop hatin, Celtics beat the sixers yesterday, and they can repeat that 2 more times   then we'll see how  the sixers will win the east,  not at all,    

[Youngster323]

stop hatin, Celtics beat the sixers yesterday, and they can repeat that 2 more times   then we'll see how  the sixers will win the east,  not at all,    

But can the celtics shoot nights out every night? Maybe, but i think it will go to Game 5

['Illicit']

well ok, sixers got more experience, boston wasnt in the playoffs since 8 years and now they clinched 3rd spot, but I think they will win the first round, not 3-0 but at least 3-2 or 3-1  because they are a good team this year.

[ToNe1904]

tha 6xers can come back in this series pleaze believe. theyre tha more experienced team in tha playoffs. Plus, i jus aint a believer in tha celtics yet. theyre good. but, i dunno...i got my doubts. besidez...aint we already go over this? it dont matter who wins tha east. LOL  

['Illicit']

lol yeh yeh yeh  whateva,  I mean nuthin against Spurs, but we wasnt fuckin talkin bout the west here man lol. so shuddup   Celtics will win against sixers but will fail in the next round cuz they jus aint ready yet.    I dont care who wins the west, west will take the playoff championship anyway  but it dont matter who wins the west  

[EastsideLBC]

Just cause Philly lost game 1 doesnt mean we out dogg!!! We have lost Game 1 of the playoffs last year to Indy and came back and beat em in tha series 3-1!!! Iverson was rusty in game 1 but any1 would be after sittin out fo that long!!!! AI will get his conditioning back for game 2 since he can  practice wit tha team (full strength) now till Thursday's game  and he will come out ready for game 2!! We still gonna take tha East no doubt!!!
