That's actually very depressing.
I'm going to stick with my gut. The four guys that make it to the 2nd round:
Nash
Duncan
Kobe
Dirk
Of course, that's assuming that they avoid playing each other in the 1st round, which is statistically unlikely.
The West is just sick.
(I didn't even put T-Mac in there because it's illegal to mention him along with the second round.)
Meanwhile, Miami is 11-51 and still mathematically in the race for a playoff spot in the East.

When we lose in the first round again, this time there will be no shame.
If Utah has HCA, then they advance. If they don't, they go fishing.
Unless you lose to T-Mac.
Dirk's fist pump looks kinda gay in that pic.
Check out Utah's final 6 games:
San Antonio
@ New Orleans
@ Dallas
Denver
Houston
@ San Antonio
All 5 of those opponents will be playing their asses off, jockeying for HCA. The Jazz better win most of their next 11 games, or they're in trouble.
u put a picture of nash but not fatass?
He's been swept six times before. He's lost as badly in the playoffs as anyone in NBA history.
Check their schedule: after their road trip, they have like 8 out of 9 at home where they're money, and the one road game is at Minny.
Right now I'm rooting against Denver (sorry Nuggets_Fan) because they are in ninth and it would be just easier for the rest of us if we could put this musical chairs to bed and solidify who the eight are going to be. But it's funny how the Nuggets could end up with the eighth-best record and get seeded fourth.
Incredible year in the West, just epic.
I want to see the final playoff bracket before even contemplating who might miss out.
Utah's next 11 games:
@ Milwaukee
@ Boston
@ New Jersey
Toronto
LA Lakers
Seattle
Charlotte
LA Clippers
@ Minnesota
Washington
Minnesota
And then it's on to that final 6-game stretch I talked about. That is a very cake schedule. Boston and LA are the only two teams that are considered elite, Toronto can give anyone trouble, while Washington and Charlotte are fighting to make the EC playoffs. I don't see them going any less than 7-4 during that stretch.
Im guessing Nash and Paul
It's just sad that a team in the East that's 10-15 games under .500 might make the playoffs, and a team that's over by that much won't make it in the West.
I wouldn't be surprised if they lost their next three. They're not going to beat Boston, and they're playing Milwaukee on the 2nd night of a back to back and the Bucks are tough at home. Which muddies it up even more because I was hoping for there to be some separation between Utah and Denver and that might not happen because Utah is so ty on the road.
16 team playoff is what we need. Screw the conferences when it comes to post season play.
Atlanta has a worse record than Sacramento and if the playoffs started today, they'd be in, and they've played most of their games against the East.
The Suns are a half-game ahead of the Jazz right now, and it needs to stay that way. Unfortunately, the Suns have a tougher schedule at the moment and they're still in the process of integrating the Big Saguaro.
I think the Suns will be better off playing the Jazz or the Rockets in the 1st round, as opposed to New Orleans, Denver, or Golden State.
That's a badass photo of Kobe.
Utah can't win on the road
You guys should hope to play us. Shaq or Marion, we can't guard the Nash and Amare pick and roll.
Yeah, Dallas would be a good matchup for the Suns. Aside from the pick-and-roll. Dampier would have his hands full with Shaq, and Dirk would have his hands full with Amare.
I'm not on the "Dallas sucks" train, though, and I think you guys would still give the Spurs a run for their money. Call me crazy, but I think Dallas could beat the Lakers in a 7-game series.
Without a healthy Bynum, I don't think the Lakers have what it takes to get past the 2nd round.
That's something we can agree on.
