I want to see some of it.

I want to see LeBron in his first playoff series.

I want to see The Baby Bulls.

I want to see what the Celtics can do with Walker and Pierce back together.

I want to see if the Suns can win with that crazy offense of their's.

I want to see the Spurs lose.

I want to see the Lakers lose (although they might not even be in it)

I want to see how well the Rockets do with Tracy and Yao

I want to see if Shaq can win a championship one year after he left L.A.


So there are a few things I'll be interested in....

I will probably watch the finals if anything. but i will be updated on who is doing what in the early rounds.

Same here Rambo. I'll keep tabs on what's happening throughout the playoffs but i'll probably only watch the finals.

It depends on the match-ups. I think Detroit and Indiana are in line to meet in the first round, and I would definitely watch that. I will watch LeBron play anytime. I also wanna see the Suns and Heat.

This is in response to a post in the Lakers thread, but i thought it was more appropriate to post in this thread...

I think that either the Heat or Pistons have the talent to beat any team in the West, including the Spurs and Suns. Not that they necessarily would, but its not obvious that a team from the West will win.

I think that the teams most likely to win it all (based on the 16 teams that would make the playoffs if the season ended today) are:

1. Spurs
2. Suns
3. Heat
4. Pistons
5. Rockets
6. Mavs
7. Sonics
8. Grizzlies
9. Kings
10. Nuggets
11. Celtics
12. Cavs
13. Pacers
14. Bulls
15. Wizards
16. 76ers

Notice that after the Heat and Pistons at 3 and 4, its all West teams. I think that the 8th team in the West can beat the 3rd team in the East (the Celtics).

Here is what I think....


1. Heat
2. Spurs
3. Rockets
4. Suns
5. Pistons
6. Mavs
7. Grizzlies
8. Kings
9. Sonics
10. Nuggets
11. Cavs
12. Celtics
13. Bulls
14. Wizards
15. 76ers
16. Pacers


You will notice that I think The Heat have the best chance to win the title and I have little faith in the Suns. I just think The Heat will roll right into the finals through the east with no trouble at all.

The Rockets at #3? I don't see it, man. Right now they're just a poor, poor man's version of the recent Lakers teams.

Unless the Raps make a miracle surge (), I'm going for Nash and the Suns. It'll be fun to see if he can run and gun them through the playoffs.

Damn Mister D, you really think the Wizards and Baby Bulls would have a better chance than Philly? I know they haven't been playing terribly well since the trade, but I would still be worried if I had to face a team with AI and Chris Webber (not to mention Kyle Korver who I've become a big fan of).

Yeah, on 2nd thought, i probably should put the Sixers ahead of of the Wiz and Bulls. After all, if I'm gonna punish the Kings for losing Webber, I should reward the Sixers for getting him
