I don't think Celtics Bulls will be that interesting. It only mattered last time because both teams were simultaneously playing the same crappy level of basketball, in the Celtics case, due to massive injuries... This season, likely the Celtics won't have unforced turnovers and bad defense, and the Bulls are still grappling with the loss of Ben Gordon, so the series will be far less close.

I always enjoy watching Carlisle coach. He is like a mini-Phil Jackson I have not been conditioned to hate...

Mavs Spurs is gonna be a sweep.

it's not even gonna b interesting for mav fans. WHo wants to see your team asspound a decrepit old senile of a team for 168 minutes??

[kobyz]

Cavs vs Heat

Magic vs Raptors

Celtics vs Bulls

Hawks vs Bobcats

Lakers vs Blazers

Mavs vs Spurs

Nuggets/Jazz vs Thunder/Suns

If Booz gets out of his weak mental attitude and Slone has a career ending condition, I think the Jazz could win the championship. But when comparing Slone vs Karl, that is the tale of 2 knuckleheads that might rival the epic matchup of ineptitude Mike Brown and Eddie Jordan shared back in the day...
