Predictions: Who's going to the NBA Playoffs/Finals in 07?

[El Coconuto]

Dallas Mavericks vs Miami Heat for me...Yep, I'm punting a re-match!

 

[Stonecutter]

Unless the spurs make a blockbuster trade they arn't going to make it.

I'd say Detroit vs Phoenix.

 

[Jono Russell]

Suns vs (Mavs,Heat,Spurs,Jazz)

 

[El Coconuto]

Suns vs (Mavs,Heat,Spurs,Jazz)

Suns, Mavs, Spurs and Jazz are all in the same conference?

 

[McLovin]

Heart - Lakers VS Heat (With Kobe hitting the championship winning three over Shaq)

Head - Mavericks VS Pistons

Although if the Bulls land Gasol, i think they'll make a major push...

 

[Jono Russell]

Suns, Mavs, Spurs and Jazz are all in the same conference?

My bad. Up untill this season I have never really followed the NBA only NBL and to a lesser extent the Goodyear Euro league due to a mate playing for one of the teams.

So I am still learning the rules of the finals system that they have. You would think playing NBA 07 and 2k7 all the time I would learn ay

 

[Special K]

I'm another for Phoenix vs detroit

 

[Kakihara]

Houston Rockets

 

[Mr Saab]

Suns dont play D and they will be found out AGAIN in a 7 game series.

Pistons vs Mavs.

Mavs 4-2

 

[Stonecutter]

This is the year for suns IMO. Tough competition with them and the Mavs though could go anyway, with Denver San Antonio and Utah not making the grade.

Damn the Western conference finals are going to be awesome.

 

[El Coconuto]

My long-range predictions: (winners in bold)

Eastern Conference --

Detroit (1) vs Indiana (8)
Cleveland (2) vs Orlando (7)
Toronto (3) vs Miami (6)
Washington (4) vs Chicago (5)

Western Conference --

Dallas (1) vs Clippers (8)
Phoenix (2) vs Denver (7)
San Antonio (3) vs Lakers (6)
Houston (4) vs Utah (5)

Second Round --

Detroit vs Washington
Cleveland vs Miami

Dallas vs Utah
Phoenix vs Lakers

Conference Finals --

Detroit vs Miami
Dallas vs Lakers

NBA Finals --

Miami vs Dallas

Champions: Dallas Mavericks...

 

[Stonecutter]

The lakers making the conference finals would be big. I can't see it happening though with Utah,Phoenix, Houston and maybe San Antonio if they can get their grit back.

For me

Conference Finals:

Detroit vs Washington in 6
Dallas vs Phoenix in 7

Phoenix vs Detroit in 7

suns wont make it they cant guard big pf's imo lakers/heat thats if the rumors are true that the lakers are gonna get kidd

if not mavs/heat

 

[edabomb]

I'd say Mavs and Pistons going to 6 or 7 games.

Not gonna call a winner yet because I think the Pistons match up really well with Dallas now they have Webber.

 

[McLovin]

suns wont make it they cant guard big pf's imo lakers/heat thats if the rumors are true that the lakers are gonna get kidd

if not mavs/heat

Kidd: You got any advice on how to shut my Ex-Wife up?

Kobe: Yo do what I did, rape someone and then use your name to get off scotch clean. Or you could just play for the Lakers...

Stole that pic...

[Choppies]

I altered the thread title slightly so we can make it a make the playoffs discussion as crunch time comes along.

Today Miami's hopes to go deep into the off season could have been shattered with Wade being taken off the court with a shoulder injury.

 

[McLovin]

Well rumours are that Jamaal Magloire will be a Laker also... Imagine...

PG: Kidd
SG: Bryant
SF: Walton
PF: Odom
C: Magloire

My god, finals written all over it...

 

[Mr Saab]

Jamaal Magloire???
The same Jamaal avging 5.5 points in 18 minutes off the bench for the Blazers?

I dont think the Mavs or Suns will be concerned.

 

[El Coconuto]

Trade deadline's past anyways. No major trades.

Otis Smith, thanks a lot, buddy!
