[HarlemHeat37]

Bulls over Knicks in 6
Heat over Celtics in 4
Sixers over Pacers in 7
Magic over Hawks in 7

Thunder over Blazers in 5
Spurs over Nuggets in 6
Clippers over Rockets in 5

Bulls over Knicks in 6
Heat over Celtics in 4
Sixers over Pacers in 7
Magic over Hawks in 7

Thunder over Blazers in 5
Spurs over Nuggets in 6
Clippers over Rockets in 5
Mavs over Lakers in 6

This is about where I'm at with a few exceptions:

I like the Pacers to pull the upset in Game 7
Magic over Hawks in 6, rather than 7
I think the Clips-Rox series goes the distance
Mavs over Lakers in 5

Haven't seen much of DEN... what tools do they have to give SA two losses in the playoffs?

Not having Bonner, RJ, or Blair is good for at least 2 wins

This is true

Knicks win it all, finals MVP Jeremy Lin:elephant

[mavsfan1000]

Lakers are underachieving. That will be a tough first round for Dallas but I think we'll get through. The matchups suit us as proven by last year. Otherwise, some other team would probably want to avoid them.

Harrington gives the Spurs all sorts of problems. Lately he has been going ape shit on them.

[ElNono]

Bulls over Knicks in 6
Heat over Celtics in 6
Sixers over Pacers in 6
Magic over Hawks in 7 (potential upset here)

Thunder over Blazers in 6
Spurs over Nuggets in 6
Clippers over Rockets in 7 (tempted to call an upset here too)
Mavericks over Lakers in 4

[timtonymanu]

Bulls in 5
Heat in 5
Sixers in 7
Hawks in 6

Thunder in 5
Spurs in 6
Clippers in 7
Mavs in 5

[Rapper]

Knicks vs Heat
Sixers vs Magic

Knicks over Sixers

Thunder vs Spurs
Clippers vs Mavs

Spurs over Mavs

Spurs over Knicks in game 7 's third OT with a 3pt buzzer beater by Timmy (Lin score 50 pts 20asts 10sts)

Duncan gets his 5th champion and 4th MVP

[Warlord23]

IDK why everyone mentions Thunder v Spurs and Mavs v Clippers.

Thunder (1 seed) will play the Mavs (4 seed) if both win
Spurs (2 seed) will play the Clippers (3 seed) if both win.

Same goes for the EC. Knicks can't meet Heat before ECF, etc.

My picks:
1st round winners: Thunder, Spurs, Clippers, Mavs (i.e. no upsets)
Thunder over Mavs in 6
Spurs over Clippers in 7
Thunder over Spurs in 7

EC
1st round winners: Bulls (if Rose can play), Heat, Pacers (if fully healthy), Magic
Bulls over Magic in 6
Heat over Pacers in 5
Heat over Magic in 5

Heat over Thunder in 6

Perhaps you are forgetting that you do not have Tyson Chandler and Barea.

It's still 2 on 12 at the end of the day.

Hi Deads... Good Morning hope all is well bro...

Just wanted to say fuck your topic it's pretty anyway shitty man...I want to talk about a block party today...and since I'm pinked I didn't think you'd mind. :lol

First off MJ blocked 4 times in one game by the same guy

ni7t4swtdYw

Conversely Duncan blocked 3 times in one game by the same guy

Top of the mornin' to ya. Work on that syntax homie, god bless.

Just imagine if Kobe Bryant was actually the great player everyone has the illusion of him being. With him and those 2 7' studs they'd be the best team in the West right now.

There should be a comma between syntax and homie. God bless is a separate sentence.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Just imagine if you had seen Pau's previous 12 playoff games vs. Dirk. Then you wouldn't look so foolish when you post.

Just imagine he was getting more than 10 shots per game while he's watching Kobe jack up fade-aways 30 times every night.

8. But still, I am happy someone finally admits this, although a year too late.

You obviously have never seen Pau and Dirk play against each other before, or else you would think before you post:lol

Not once in that series did Kobe jack up 30 shots, let alone 30 fade-aways. In fact in 3 of the 4 games he had FGA's of 16, 18, and 20.

Kobe shot 46% for the series while Pau shot 42%:lmao

I'm sorry you're so stupid. Nature dealt you a rough hand, but I'll pray for you.

Doesn't need to be admitted, tbh. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that Pau's coochlips become inflamed when playing Dirk.

I guess Kewni is developmentally disabled:lol

I am sorry but that was not the case. When the Lakers were winning rings there were people claiming here that Pau had passed Dirk as the best PF in the league. That Kobe guy obviously had nothing to do with it.

I can assure you I never said as much.

No, I didn't say as much. But the other Laker fans/trolls/bandwagoners on this forum sure did.

Convenient you mention one series. What percentage does Kobe shoot in the Finals for his career?

It's pretty bad, bro. I'm sorry I doubted you.

[Killakobe81]

I never said Pau was better than Dirk ...and not sure who did. I Was one who said Dirk IS the better player, but because Pau is more pass first than shoot and had the better post game, he was a better FIT for the Lakers.

But I STILL would of traded Pau for Dirk because I think he is the greater overall talent. dirk has been the MVP of the league and now the Finals. Pau despite what some dumbasses here think, has never been the MVP of a playoff winning team. And NOT to pile on Pau, but the their gold medal winning (euros IIRC) Spanish team won AFTER he got hurt. Manu and Argentina owned his ass in international play with some very shaky gold medal games from Pau when they faced in international ball. (Scola bullied Pau, much like he did us in the playoffs until Fisher laid him the fuck out ...)

I love Gasol but despite the occasional clutch put back, cajones of steel is not his forte ...
