I don't see Cleveland as a threat at ALL , the only people I see is Boston/Lakers/Mavericks .

Not even the Lakers really because we can definitely hold our own against them .

& all those teams I named we have beaten (by little & a lot) in the regular season .

We've beaten allllll the top tier teams, they slept on us , & they still are .

Keep dreeeeeaming.

Oh yeah you guys beat all the top tier teams and omg you guys can certainly do it again in the playoffs and omg Rose(a rookie) will lead you guysall the way to the finals since you can beat all the top tier teams and omg you can foul out whoever you guys want and omg NO!

This year's playoffs, followed by the Masters this upcoming week, are going to have me going crazy...and I can't wait. In advance, best of luck to everyone's teams who are level-minded and reasonable on here, I truly hope for a competitive playoff series and I'll be the first one to congratulate the intelligent and true basketball fans on this board, even if it means the Cavs losing. You all know who you are.

I am hoping to get revenge on the C's....

But Kobe Vs Bron in the finals will be EPIC!!!!

Let's go.

Simple math, really.

Conclusion of April 5th games..

 

[kingkb34]

- Cleveland better get Chicago instead of Detroit...we can sweep the Bulls (sorry Chi-town ppl) but the Pistons are a rivalryand could extend the series...
- The first round matchups in the West (except Lakers - Mavs) are gonna be wars...

 

[willinc]

I don't want no parts of Orlando in the first round.


Three point shooters will kill us.


Praying for a miracle to get #4 or just hold on to #5

 

[10508 cardo jr ln]

^Ya'll dont want it with us, I hope ya'll get that #5

Shhh. keep it on the low

Chauncey got his first dunk of the season today

 

[therenegade23]

Nuggets should be a lock for #2. The #3-#8 race should be fun to watch. Who knows, Mavs might actually get #6.

 

[jordanxi45]

Still can't believe Denver has the #2 spot right now...they have really surprised me this year. I'm a Warriors fan but since they aren't in thePlayoffs - I gotta go with Cleveland in the East and Lakers out the West....would love to see a Kobe v. James finals matchup. I def. think the Cavs can takedown the Celtics but I guess I wouldn't mind a Boston/LakeShow pt.2.

 

[fearless]

dont know why but i have a bad feeling about the Lakers.Hopefully when Bynum comes back, i will feel better.

 

[CP1708]

I'm sorry, but that 1 vs 8 isn't going to just be a cakewalk for us. Dallas or Utah could be just as tough an out as anybody. They just struggle onthe road is all, but both are tough at home and have plenty of weapons that could give the Lakers trouble, especially since their D is lacking.


Dallas looked incredible yesterday.

Thank you for killing all ofZo's and Nash's dreams.

You may be right Haze. It's a 3-way tie right now for 3rd place and without Ginobli and possibly homecourt advantage if they get the 4 spot and the Spursslip to the 5, I think the Blazers have a great chance of beating them despite their youth. Also the Jazz and Mavs are now tied for the 8th spot with theseschedules remaining: Dallas (New Orleans x2, Houston, Minnesota) and Utah (@ San Antonio, @ Lakers, Golden State, Clippers). It could be very interesting,I'm sure they both want to avoid the Lakers in the 1st round.

 

[youngjordan23]

I Hope to God L.A Gets dallas in the first round I do not want to play the jazz simple and plain

West playoffs are all set..the teams we're going to see I mean. Now they're just playing for seeds.

 

[balleroni]

Let's hope the Blazers can play the spurs and get home court!

 

[dlo13]

Hawks' Magic Number to clinch the #4 spot is down to 1.
