If Artest explodes (in the good way - not the way he did against the Pistons a few years ago) they could push the *EDIT*spurs to 7...if he and Shareef step up...if they can stop Parker it will go along way to helping them win a few games too

I'm in for that league, cheers Jase. I picked poker playing Gilbert Arenas for day one, I hope the wiz's lose but he puts up a few pts.

Pistons 2 - 4 over Bucks
Really hope the bucks give a good showing and do better than most have predicted, even in losing games
Miami 4 -1 over Chicago
Nets 4 - 1 over Indiana
Cavs 4 - 3 over Wizards Damn wizards

Spurs 4 - 1over Sac
Suns 4 - 2 over Lakers
Clippers 4 - 3 over Nugs
Mavs 4 - 1 over Memphis

Pistons in 6 over Bucks
Heat in 5 over Bulls
Nets in 5 over Pacers
Cavs in 7 over Wizards

Spurs in 4 over Kings
Suns in 5 over Lakers
Nuggets in 7 over Clippers
Mavs in 5 over Grizzlies

I reckon Im being a bit kind to the Bucks though

Clipps and Wizzs have a good chance at an upset

Who'd you guys pick for the Drive to the Finals Comp?

I had Hinrich...
19 pts
1 reb
8 ass

28 pts for my first game. Figured the Bulls will be out in 4 or 5 games so might as well use them up first.

mattyj · Apr 23, 2006

i made a risky move and took LeBron but it paid off...32pts 11 rebs and 11ast = 54pts

JZA · Apr 23, 2006

ah nuts i forgot to pick yesterdays...picked gasol for todays game though.

Trey · Apr 23, 2006

people still think the kings can beat the spurs?

JZA · Apr 23, 2006

not me man, i hate the spurs with a passion but cant deny they are going to storm through to the finals if they keep playing like that.

i think one of their strengths is their recruiting: look at their bench, experienced players like van exel, finley and horry who can kill you still even though theyre past their prime. thats smart recruiting.

Trey · Apr 24, 2006

the san antonio spurs - the place to retire with a ring!

nets lose to indy, might be an upset brewing...kidd and carter played like bitches looking at the stats

WoobieZarz · Apr 24, 2006

Bucks/Pistons is close today!

Magloire is in trouble tho, 3 PFs after 10 mins.

kidd05 · Apr 24, 2006

Off nights from Vince Carter = sure losses. Kidd and Carter had an offnight, but the Nets still lose within 2 pts on the final seconds. This will be a long series!

I just hope he has more hot nights than off nights or the Nets are in serious trouble. As I said before, the only team that can pretty much beat the Nets are the Spurs and the Nets themselves.

GO MILWAUKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE PISTONS!!!!!

How bout the Spurs shooting% against the Kings?? How good is Tony Parker? Wow. If they keep that up, they'd go 16 straight wins in the playoffs for another trophy.

Trey · Apr 24, 2006

the spurs wont be able to keep it up shooting like that...whats more impressive is the kings still didnt score that many (88 points) and considering it was against the bench for nearly the whole second half...

that and tim duncan took like 6 shots and the spurs scored 122!

Allstar cards inc · May 1, 2006

Is it just me or are some of these playoff matchups a little bit closer than most people thought?? (With the exception of Dallas/Memphis)

JZA · May 1, 2006

clippers/nugs i thought would go 6 or 7.

suns/lakers i thought might go 6, never thought theyd get booted out in 5, which will probably happen.

bulls are exceeding my expectations, or rather heat are playing worse than they have all season long.

indiana are a surprise, really shouldnt be cos they are always a contender come playoff time.

milwaukee were lucky to get 1, ditto sacramento.

grizzlies i thought would get at least 1, mavs are playing very well, lucky they dont have to face a full strangth suns like last year...god damn that was a great series.

cleveland/washington is the only series thats going the way i thought it would, pretty tight.

JZA · May 1, 2006

mattyj · May 1, 2006

WoobieZarz · May 1, 2006
