NBA Playoffs

The Knicks made it to the playoffs, w00t

Hehehe, yes, I know, they're not gonna win, but who do you think is gonna win?

Too close to tell for me. I honestly wouldn't put money on any one specific team this year. If the Kings are healthy, I think they have the best chance. I wouldn't count the Pacers out of it, though.

Yeah the Kings have been a little bit sloppy lately, but are still a really good team. The Timberwolves are doing an amazing job, plus Sprewell is my man . But I agree, the Pacers have the best record in the league, but I don't know if they quite have what it takes to be as good in the post-season. Its gonna be a good one either way

Oyyyy, it's kinda hard to guess.....i dumbly voted the last one - wanted to see wot was gonna happen but i put my bets on LAL:
They beat Grizlies - play Spurs wid homecourt advantage - get it!

Id like to see the Kings go all the way this year ... if not the kings then the T wolves. I just hope the fukin lakers dont decide to hit form all of a sudden in the playoffs

I couldn't agree more

I'd like to see an East Coast team win, but realistically that's probably not gonna happen.

Lakers all the way, fo' sure.

The Lakers have blown out every western division team they have played at least once. Who cares if the kings heald Shaq and Kobe to only 18 combined points. the Lakers have a better record on the road anyway.

I vote Lakers all the way.

Im a laker fan want to see the lakers win..... hate the kings....

but Pistons arnts on the list and i guess they have a good chance comming out in the east..but i dont think the east can beat any western champion this year

Posted by dj-rob on Apr-19-2004 15:02:

timberwolves because its going to happen even tho i would rather the kings win it.

Posted by th0m on Apr-19-2004 17:13:

All the post-season teams have played their first Round 1 game, any changes in opinions or predictions? So far no suprises really, all the better placed teams won their first game, but that is probably partially due to the fact that they have homecourt advantage.

I'm not a big b-ball fan except in High school and in college, but I think San Antonio will repeat as champs.

Posted by Incantation_UK on Apr-21-2004 15:14:

I reckon the Kings are gonna sneak it. They've got the depth in the squad and Webber has come back strong. Although, I wouldn't totally disregard any of the major teams.

Posted by Eddie N MIAMI on Apr-21-2004 15:41:

losing Bobby Jackson for the year certanly dosn't help though.

Posted by BadBadNeil on Apr-21-2004 15:45:

Lakers always seem to win so I think they will probably pull it off again this year. Do i want them to win? Nope. I'd like to see Sacramento or Dallas win it.

I voted Pacers -- Reggie finally gets his championship.

You guys failed to realize that the Pacers have a great record against all of playoff teams in the west. Plus they have home court throughout the playoffs. That's gonna be big.

In the west I think Dallas or Sacto will come out. As long as its not the Lakers.

They also lost in the first round last year....(to Boston, of all teams)

Regular season record doesn't always mean anything, same with Minnesota. They wooped ass in the playoffs, but never in franchise history made it past the first round. That, of course, is going to change this time, and surely the Pacers will get further than round 1. But despite their record, I dont think the Pacers have what it takes to be champs, the Timberwolves might

Posted by BadBadNeil on Apr-21-2004 16:44:

On the east I think the best team is the Pistons. They have stifling defence and with wallace as an addition, coach brown, and richard hamilton and chauncey billups they got some big offensive weapons as well. The only downside to them is they don't a big man that can go against teams like the Lakers or Spurs IMO.

Posted by DJ.MD on Apr-21-2004 17:36:

I dont think Detroit has enough to win it this year, but I do think they will face the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals. However they will be so beat up after a rough series with New Jersey that they won't have enough in the tank.

I know I'm biased cuz the Pacers are my favorite team but they have enough offence and the best one on one defender in the league (Artest) to defend anybody on Detroit or New Jersey.

The west however is a crapshoot.

Posted by TigerClaw on Apr-21-2004 20:18:

The Heat could go all the way, Tonight is game 2 of the Heat vs Hornets.

Posted by Omegasox on Apr-22-2004 04:35:

With Bobby Jackson out for the year that changes everything. Kings were my favorite to win it all, but no longer will they even make the Western Conference Finals. They're still gonna kill Dallas, though.

I still like the Pacers to win with no real trouble in the East and play the Spurs or Lakers. I love the T-Wolves but Olowokandi will get eaten by Shaq and Payton/Fisher will nullify Cassell, but they may have a chance to beat the Spurs if San Antonio takes out LA.

Yeah, but who on the Lakers team will take care of KG? Sprewell? There are mismatches on both sides of each team. And don't tell me that Bryant will take care of Spree, because after what we've seen last night, Sprewell will just be shooting from downtown all night if he has to.

Also, Cassell isn't that bad. At least he made it to the All-stars team, didn't see Fisher or Payton on there this year. The Wolves have a better team effort too, whereas the Lakers have more individual good players.

Think about it: First game of the Wolves, Cassell scored 40 points, and KG has a supporting role. Second game, Nuggets defend Cassell as if their life depended on it, and rightfully so, and then Sprewell has an outstanding performance as well as KG with his triple-double.
