I Know It's Early, But NBA Playoff Predictions...

[Jordan]

What teams would you pick going into the playoffs? -- Pick eight teams each and state which seed they'd have.

(I picked mine before the season started)

Eastern Conference:
1...New Jersey (53-29)
2...New Orleans (50-32)
3...Indiana (49-33)
4...Boston (48-34)
4...Milwaukee (48-34)
4...Detroit (48-34)
7...Orlando (46-36)
8...Philadelphia (45-37)

Western Conference:
1...Dallas (61-21)
2...Sacramento (56-26)
3...San Antonio (57-25)
4...LA Lakers (53-29)
5...Seattle (49-33)
6...Portland (47-35)
7...Houston (46-36)
8...Minnesota (44-38)

looking at the teams current standings they look pretty accurate, but I might even say boston in the 3 spot...

I hate the Sixers too -- ever since they beat the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals two years ago. But I picked them to go eighth seed because I don't think they can go very far with the most selfish player in the league -- Iverson. I don't think one-man teams can go far. And even though Philly's started 12-4, I don't think they are going to finish much more than 8 games over .500.

Going back to the Eastern Conference Finals of 2000, The Bucks were the better team in that series and if they could have won game 5-the bucks were in the finals. Also they are 12-4 because they have not been playing anybody-their last game was the heat, then it was the wizards, they were losing in most of the games they won this season. Just be glad you don't live in philly where you would have to hear about them being in first place.

Oh......it's ripping at my soul thinking back to that 2000 playoff series between the Sixers and Bucks. My Bucks should have been there. And last year, they should have been in the playoffs -- if it weren't for that terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible no-call against Eddie Jones of the Heat when he made the most obvious double-dribble in the history of the NBA and hit a buzzer-beating three to beat the Bucks, we would have made it. Honest to God, because of horrendous officiating, Milwaukee missed the playoffs. Granted they sucked through the last half of the season, but they should have been there regardless. But Philly won't be in first for too long. I wish though I could hear about my home team being in first place, instead of 7-8... But the Bucks will find their way after 25 games or so. I think, anyways.

By the way, the sixers beat cleveland tonight-see what i mean. And tomorrow they play the wizards which is another crappy team. The sixers probably will lose on wednesday night when they play boston.

Hy pav I don;'t think the sixers will be that low i the east-have you seen them lately?

[isiahthomas]

Cleveland Cavs are gonna make the playoffs this yr hahahahahahahahahahahahaha yeah right. They won't make the playoffs until 2010 hahahahahahahahaahaha. I can't believe with all the talent we have we can't win for jack. Our defense is the worst. We got the worst record in the league right now, we've only won 5 games but Ricky Davis, DeJuan Wagner, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Carlos Boozer, Jumaine Jones, Darius Miles are the future for Cleveland. I think the 8 teams coming out of the east this yr are(these teams aren't in order) Philly, New Jersey, Indiana, Boston, Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando, Washington. Washington & Atlanta are gonna fight for that last playoff spot. I saw in the paper today Atlanta's coach Lon Kruger got fired. Atlanta need a bench. They only got 4 good players in Shareef Abdur Rahim, Glenn Robinson, Theo Ratliff, Jason Terry & Theo is washed up ever since he left Philly & Detroit. I feel bad for Glenn cause Atlanta isn't going anywhere for a long time. Milwaukee was stupid for trading him. I think the 8 teams coming out of the west are Dallas, Sacramento, Spurs, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Minnesota, Houston. Can u believe the Lakers aren't even a 8th seed yet? They're down at the bottom with Golden State hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. They had it coming to them since they got a lot of scrubs on that team & i'm tired of Phil Jackson's triangle offense. The Lakers need to cut some players right now or try to trade some players. Lord knows they need some better players. Go find drug addict JR Rider hahahahahahahahahahahaha. JR Rider got mad talent when he's not smoking weed, missing team flights & missing practices.
