yea, I agree with most of your picks. Cleveland will once again beat Washington again. I'd love to see the Raps beat out Orlando and make the second round at least. But yea, the heavy weights are as always San Antonio, Phoenix, Detroit, and this year Boston. And yea, out of the west..I say San Antonio. But could you imagine a Laker - Sun Conference finals series. I think that would be off the chain.

I think the whole Western Conference will be off the chains from start to finish this year. I really believe anybody's capable of beating anybody out there. Too bad, I won't get to see much of it, but at least I'll hear the games on radio.

I'm picking a Lakers-Celtics finals. The Lakers front line os one of the best in the NBA without Bynum...The Celtics have too much defense to not rip through the East.

you think they have one of the best front court players in the NBA without Bynum?

Odom and Gasol? Hell yes. Not the best, mind you, but certainly up there.

And only imagine them WITH Bynum..a natural center.

They have the best front-line with Bynum...One of the best without.

yah man i got lakers-celtics too
lakers are in the side of the western bracket with denver, houston, and utah. Gonna have alot of momentum.
and Bynum could always be ready by then.

EASTERN CONFERENCE

1 BOSTON CELTICS vs. 8 ATLANTA HAWKS
2 DETROIT PISTONS vs. 7 PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
3 ORLANDO MAGIC vs. 6 TORONTO RAPTORS
4 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS vs. 5 WASHINGTON WIZARDS

WESTERN CONFERENCE

1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs. 8 DENVER NUGGETS
2 NEW ORLEANS HORNETS vs. 7 DALLAS MAVERICKS
3 SAN ANTONIO SPURS vs. 6 PHOENIX SUNS
4 UTAH JAZZ vs. 5 HOUSTON ROCKETS

San Antonio to once again take it home. Especially if Ginobili comes out like he did the last couple years in the playoffs.

celtics funna win it all.
