EAST

Nets 3-1 over the Pacers
Magic 3-2 over the Hornets
Philadelphia 3-2 over Boston if AI returns, if he doesnt, flip the script.
Detroit 3-0 over Toronto

WEST

Sacramento 3-0 over Utah
San Antonio 3-1 over Seattle
Dallas 3-1 over the T-Wolves
Lakers 3-2 over Porland but i hope Portland get up!

With Brain - Detroit to win the East and the Lakers to come out of the West with the Lakers winning 4-1 and claiming the Title.

With Heart - Orlando to win the East and the Blazers to prevail in the west with Orlando taking it in 7 games. Just for Patrick.

LOL!! You've gotta love his Utah bias but that will never happen. Get out your brooms Kings fans cos its gonna be a sweep.

The formed teams in the East right now are Boston, Toronto and Indiana. I cant see the 76ers beating Boston with or without Ivo. The Pacers will push the Nets, but we all know how hard the Nets are to beat at home. And Toronto and Detroit will be a thriller, going down to game 5. I might have to just give it to the Raptors at this stage.

As for the west, the Kings and Spurs are the only formed teams going around really. But the Lakers will play 10% better when it counts, we all know they will!

Well the Nets just lost home court advantage to the Pacers, losing game 1 89-83. Pacers just have to get there 2 at home and goodbye to the number 1 seeds. I think NJ will hit back though.

Sacramento and Utah are in progress at the moment and the Jazz lead 30-28 with 7 or so minutes left in the second quarter. Expect the Kings to run over them as the game continues.

No, no Jod! Dont say that. We (I) want the Pacers to win, so if the Hornets get past the Magic, then we wont have to face Kidd and the Nets.

Well i dont think the Hornets will get by the Magic anyway. Plus i hope the Nets keep winning, if any East team has a shot at knocking off the Lakers its the Nets.

Jod makes being wrong an art form.

BTW He knows all about clean sweeps, given his almighty Wildcats got hammered in straight sets.

LMAO!! Every expert tipped a sweep. Im an expert and i tipped a sweep. Kudo's to the Jazz for making it go to 4. But they wont win another one. Expect the Kings to take it 3-1. The Kings won both games they played at the Delta Center this season.

How did your team go P&P?

You might be a Jazz fan...i cant remember.

As usual you're wrong on all counts.

As you well know, i don't support any side in the NBL, i'd rather be watching Keysborough each weekend.

And no, i don't support the Lakers, or the Jazz. And i only support one team, a team i have followed from day one.

Unlike your good self i don't a) pick a second team and act like i've supported them from day one and b) choose a team merely because of their sucess.

BTW The reason you don't know who i support is because i'm not an arrogant cretin who talks my team up without any basis.

I'm quietly confident that my team will get through the first round of the playoffs, i just don't need to tell everyone about it.

 

[Flood Gates]

I have bad news for Charlotte Hornets fans...
It seems as though, they have (possibly) played their last game at the Collesium. Baron Davis may not play another game for the season, however I think Jamal Mashburn might be back in game 3, if not game 4.

LOL get off your high horse P&P....I only have 2 teams. The Perth Wildcats and the Chicago Bulls. The Wizards are my substitute team while MJ plays for them because i love MJ. I dont care what people think. Mike is my favourite player, has being since forever and ill go for the Wizards while he wears there jersey. Doesnt mean im not a Bulls supporter.

Bulls are looking good. Ming or Williams in the draft, Curry and Chandler coming along and a great trade which brought us a superstar.

Still not telling me who you go for?

Its irrelevent.

But if it means that much to you i'll tell you when we get kicked out of the playoffs, which will probably be before the week is out.
