So far, The Magic are scaring me. Vincseanity showed up last night for the first time in years...and with Superman, Nelson, Petrius and Lewis...the Magic have been and will be putting up major points in these playoffs. Its been 35 days since they have lost a game. The Cavs are struggling. LeBron leads the playoffs in PER, but Mo, Shaq, Delonte and the bench besides Hickson are all missing. Jamison is playing well...but he has plenty of playoff experience (wheres Shaq at again?). The Lakers look nasty as well. They are the deepest team in the Playoffs, Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Odem, Artest, Fisher...is just too much for most teams to handle. The Suns though are my pick in the West. Nash, Stoudamire, Richardson. Playing great ball...and the Lakers are too old to run every game like the Suns do. Cavs/Magic Suns/Lakers Are my prediction. I know Cleveland has looked bad...but im not worried.
I have not watched a single game of the playoffs thus far, therefore I cannot comment. It really sucks not having cable/satellite sometimes...
Very rare for a team to comeback from a 0-2 deficit in the conference semis, so you can pretty much pencil the 2-0 teams in. I can't see any of those three teams losing 4/5. The Cavs should take care of Boston, but who knows whats going on with Lebron's mystery elbow. I still think they can win even if he's at 75%. So I agree with your picks.
Game 2 against Boston then entire Cleveland team had their heads somewhere other then the game. As far as the rest of games I thought everyone has been playing well with the exception of Shaq. But as far as I'm concerned they had 1 bad game which I wouldn't consider struggling just yet. Orlando looks tough. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried. I agree with your picks as well. Cavs/Magic Suns/Lakers
I watch, but 3 days off to go from cleveand to boston...hope bron bron had enough time to heal that elbow. From the looks of it tonight he did. Damn playoffs take longer than the season, makes it hard to stay with it.
The cavs played a perfect game... LeBron was UNSTOPPABLE, Parker kept Rondo somewhat in check... Shaq, Jamison both showed up and had great games.
