NBA playoffs 1st round

Who do you got coming out of the first round

East
1:Chicago vs 8:Indiana
2:Miami vs 7:Philadelphia
3:Boston vs 6:New York
4:Orlando vs 5:Atlanta

West
1.San Antonio vs 8:Memphis
2:LA Lakers vs 7:New Orleans
3:Dallas vs 6: Portland
4:OKC vs 5:Denver

I think all top 4 seeds will win from both conferences,with Dallas and Orlando being the most likely to get upset.

East
1:Chicago vs 8:Indiana in four games
2:Miami vs 7:Philadelphia in five games
3:Boston vs 6:New York in seven games
4:Orlando vs 5:Atlanta in six games

West
1.San Antonio vs 8:Memphis in six games
2:LA Lakers vs 7:New Orleans in five games
3:Dallas vs 6: Portland in seven games
4:OKC vs 5:Denver in six games

The best series' in the first round are definitely OKC/Denver and Boston/New York...and I feel like San Antonio will slip up a little bit but still manage to win..and I know Miami will have at least one bad game.

Upsets

1) Hawks - Larry Drew was hired mainly to play against the Magic which is why the Hawks have done great against them all year.

2) Denver - That team really reminds me of the 04 Pistons.

3) Blazers - They've had the Mavs down after the trade.

EAST
-Chicago in 4
-Miami in 5
-Boston in 7
-Magic in 6

WEST
-Spurs in 6
-Lakers in 5
-Portland in 7
-Denver in 7

I was going to have that but I feel like this year the Mavericks will lose to a good team(higher seed)...and I'm surprised at having Denver beating OKC, they are both good teams but I don't see OKC losing unless its the Lakers or the Heat/Celtics/Bulls.

Rooting for the Hornets in todays game

Heat

Smart man!

BTW, anybody see that comeback the Bulls had?? If BOOZER of all people didn't shoot that 3 with five seconds left, they had a good chance of winning the game...

Heat let me down, as well as Pens did yesterdy, both having the chance to finish up their series and just watch the rest of the 1st round.
Guess we'll see if Pens can bring a W tomrrow.

God damn, if only anybody else on the team actually made some shots... Obviously the Heat won the series since no team has come back from a 3-0 hole (likely won't happen here either), but I wanted the sweep.

LOL Kobe held scoreless for a half, Lou Williams is more clutch than LeBron and this: http://video.thescore.com/watch/van-gundy-rips-turkoglu

LOL

Hornets let me down tonight.

With the Magic going nowhere in these playoffs, it will be interesting to see if they can get any help for Howard in the off season. Without Howard, the Magic are Cleveland.

Called the Miami one (right # of games), the Boston one (wrong # of games), the Chicago one (wrong # of games), and the Lakers one (wrong # of games).

4/8, 50% on the first round. Ouch

Mavs and LA are playing right now, rootin for Mavs.

Really liked what I saw from Heat against Bos.

I really hope Smoove can lure him back home to ATL next offseason.

Heat and Mavs are playing pretty good right now

Heat going to Boston with a 2-0 lead in the series.

I have a feeling the refs want Miami to win. It just seems like they get all the calls. I'm still pissed about that Pierce ejection and I hate the Celtics!

Game 2 had Heat just on top the entire time, not really refs with that game. Although I think Pierce got hurt during the game so they had to play without him for two games now

Man that game was hard to watch. Wade got a lot of bullshit touch fouls while the Heat were allowed to play more physical with PP and Rondo. I hate both teams but I hate bullshit officiating more than anything. The calls have to go both ways and they aren't in this series.
