Rarely do people do this, but I figured what the hell. The NBA Playoffs start tomorrow, and I was wondering, what you people think. Here's my bracket:

East
(1)Pacers vs. (8)Celtics...Pacers 4-0
(4)Heat vs. (5)Hornets...Heat 4-3
(3)Pistons vs. (6)Bucks...Pistons 4-1
(2)Nets vs. (7)Knicks...Knicks 4-3 (Nets of late have sucked, while the Knicks on the other hand are getting better.)

(1)Pacers vs. (4)Heat...Pacers 4-2
(3)Pistons vs. (7)Knicks...Pistons 4-2

(1)Pacers vs. (3)Pistons...Pacers 4-3

West
(1)T-Wolves vs. (8)Nuggets...T-Wolves 4-1
(4)Kings vs. (5)Maverics...Kings 4-3 (so much offense, no apparent defense)
(3)Spurs vs. (6)Grizzlies...Spurs 4-1
(2)Lakers vs. (7)Rockets...Lakers 4-2 (Yao will give Shaq problems.)

(1)T-Wolves vs. (4)Kings...Kings 4-3 (too much offense for T-Wolves)
(3)Spurs vs. (2)Lakers...Spurs 4-3 (Bowen will continue to shut down Kobe like no one else can.)

(4)Kings vs. (3)Spurs...Spurs 4-3

NBA Finals
Pacers vs. Spurs...Pacers 4-3 (I have to stick with my boys on this one. They showed durring the season they can beat them. This would be a great series either way.)

What's that? You don't agree? Oh, ok. I don't really give a shit. If you'd like to comment or make your own...ehh...good for you. If you look through my bracket, though, the only questionable series I have is the Knicks/Nets series. I'd like to see the Knicks go to the Confrense Finals, but we all know that's not gonna happen.

I'm not sure what all those number mean, but the Pacers will win

What numbers do you not understand? It seems pretty clear to me...

(1)...That would be the ranking of the team.

4-0...That would be the series record (Pacers win 4, Celtics win 0).

I'm going to go ahead and agree with you on that one. Here's a nice little quote from Kevin O'Neal..."This is a team you can run with, but you can't beat."...That was on Sports Center about a month ago.

East
Indiana (1) vs. Boston (8) - Indiana 3-1
Miami (4) vs. New Orleans (5) - New Orleans 3-1
Detroit (3) vs. Milwaukee (6) - Detroit 3-0
New Jersey (2) vs. New York (7)- New York 3-2

Indiana (1) vs. New Orleans (5) - Indiana 4-2
Detroit (3) vs. New York (7) - Detroit - 4-1

Indiana (1) vs. Detroit (3) - Indiana 4-3

West
Minnesota (1) vs. Denver (8) - Minnesota 3-1
Sacramento (4) vs. Dallas (5) - Sacramento 3-2
San Antonio (3) vs. Memphis (6) - Memphis 3-2 (Hubi Brown is a God)
L.A. Lakers (2) vs. Houston (7) - L.A. 3-1

Minnesota (1) vs. Sacramento (4) - Sacramento 4-1
L.A. Lakers (2) vs. Memphis (6) - L.A. Lakers 4-0

Sacramento (4) vs. L.A. Lakers (2) - Sacramento 4-3 (7 game series either way I flipped a coin and Sacramento won on it)

NBA Finals
Indiana (1) vs. Sacramento (4) - Sacramento 4-3

While I would absolutely love for the Pacers to win. I just don't see any team in the East coming out with a win over a Western Conference team in the finals.

Plus when I think about Stojackovic, Webber, Bibby, B. Miller, Christie, Divac and Jackson I just think that Sacramento is too deep and too good.

Ugly Bastard · 04-17-2004, 02:48 AM

BDH, you say the Kings will win the Finals...care to make that interesting? You get the Kings, I get every other team in the NBA. 1:6 odds for you (for every buck you give me, I give you $6 if the Kings win the Finals).

We will put $5 on it then. I win you owe me $30, you win I owe you $5 correct?

I know the Kings have been struggling as of late but they are to good to be denied this time, they have way to much talent.

tonguegina · 04-17-2004, 08:47 PM

BDH, the First Round changed to 7 games two years ago...

Ugly Bastard · 04-18-2004, 04:58 PM

Alright BDH...something tells me I'm never going to see your $5. But you most assuredly will see my $30 if hell freezes over. Done.

I will pay your $5 if the Kings don't win, you can be assured of that. The risk in this case is definitely worth the reward.

It's just a shame the Pacers have more talent on their bench than most teams in the playoff's starting lines. This is why the Pacers will win the finals this year. You can stop 2 or 3 good players, but stopping 7 or 8 is impossible, Indy has proved this all year.

tonguegina · 04-26-2004, 02:25 PM

This is true. Austin Croshere is considered their "10th player" which basically means the last person they'd go to, and during a game last week the announcer said he could start for some NBA teams. Just chew on that for a bit.

Carson Mandalay · 04-28-2004, 05:03 PM

Now that my Knicks are out, go nets I guess.

f3lix · 05-05-2004, 02:06 AM

First round is over...wow that took a while...

Alpha - 7

I believe this is how the scores looks now.

f3lix · 05-22-2004, 12:19 PM

One point per round w/o increasing value? hmph...

tonguegina · 05-23-2004, 12:26 AM

I thought about making it two points for the second round after I made that post. I'm fine with going 2 points for the second round, three for the third, and 4 for the Finals. Unless someone disagrees with that, I'll change it tomorrow.

Alpha · 05-24-2004, 10:19 PM

No complaints.
