The points will go as follows.

Round 1 - 1 pt.
Round 2 - 2 pts.
Round 3 - 4 pts.
Champion - 8 pts.

Tiebreaker goes to person who submitted their picks first. (sorry, I couldn't think of a better one)

You can add "in how many" after your pick for fucks and giggles.

East
(1) Pistons over (8) Bucks in 4
(2) Heat over (7) Bulls in 4
(3) Nets over (6) Pacers in 5
(4) Cavs over (5) Wizards in 6

(1) Pistons over (4) Cavs in 5
(2) Heat over (3) Nets in 5

Repug won it over me when the Spurs beat the Pistons in 7 games. He won't be so lucky this year.

Sorry pal, but other than a big upset I don't see you beating me. There is now ay the Suns are making it out of the West. The Mavs over the Spurs is plausible, but unlikely. No, you will lose once again.

To late for entry...I don't give a shit I've been trying for days and nubblies is down so i'll put one in anyways (even though it doesn't count).

West

Spurs vs. Kings
Mavs vs. Grizzlies

I can honestly say that none of the prior games have affected my picks in anyway, that is what I picked pre-playoffs, you can believe it or not.

I thought about the Clippers making it to the western conference finals...It's definitely possible. I don't see them making it to the finals, though. Give 'em another couple years.

The Kings are clearly just sizing up the Spurs before a massive winning streak.

Actually they I read on some online bookie thing that a $100 bet that the kings get out of the first round, pays off at $850. Glad I didn't take it after all.......................

Elton Brand should be MVP this year in my opinion and I think the clippers have all the tools necessary to make a run to the finals. Cassell is a great playoff PG and very underated. They have a huge front line with Brand, Kaman, and Radmonovic. Magette can go off and score 30 on any given night and mobley is a shooter. Throw in somebody like Livingston who is a mis-match regardless of who's guarding him and I think they have all the tools necessary.

But then again Denver could make a run and end the whole thing for me

I see the Clippers struggling in the second round against the Suns. Why? Because the Suns have pwn3d them all season long. The clippers are good at clogging the middle, but the Suns strength is on the break and their 3's. It should be a good series either way though...But then come on now, even if the Clips do beat them then they have either Dallas or the Spurs. Like I said, give 'em a few more years and the elite teams a few more years to age.

I'm not sold on the Mavs at all, they are like Notre Dame football...hyped up every year but always underachieve.

Its definitely a long shot I'll give you that, if the suns had Stoudemire I'd say they go to the finals but without him they're to thin up front. I just think with the way the Clippers are capable of playing and with how much I like Mike Dunleavy I think they can get the job done.

What a piss poor choking bullshit performance last night... Kings up by three with like 7 seconds left, and they decide to leave one of the better three point shooters in the league WIDE FUCKING OPEN. We deserved to lose.

Yeah the kings left Barry wiiiiiide open. It was so sad. Of course he did get the luckiest bounce ever, but still. The kings just had their hearts ripped out.

I was the most pissed. Right after that I walked into the kitchen for another beer and kicked the hell out of my wall... Yeah, I kicked a big ass hole in it and my shoe fell into the wall. Trust me that didn't make me feel any better.

Bibby was a complete douche the whole game too. We get that ridiculously lucky obscure foul on the inbound, and then Bibby just loses control of the ball and turns it over. 1 for 13 in regulation! 1 for 13! I could have put up better numbers.

I am going to have to agree with you here, but only by adding an * to that statement. With Avery Johnson as their coach, the Mavs are 76-24 in the regular season. Understanding that they lost in the playoffs last year in a not-great fashion, I believe Johnson will lead his team to a much more solid performance this year, due to him being able to coach the team all year, instead of just the last 18 games as he did last year.

You guys are right, but I feel like this year Dallas is different. They're legit. I don't think they can beat the Spurs yet, but they'll compete for a title soon.

The spurs pretty muchg got devestated last night and I for one am quite happy about it.

It seems that Sacramento is putting up a much bigger fight than anyone expected.

The West:
Spurs (1) vs Kings (8)
A very Intriguing matchup because this isn't the same Spurs team of last year. This is a Spurs team who has been troubled by injuries. Ginobili isn't the same as last year, nor is Duncan who is having serious foot issues. Parker has carried this team. And despite the depth of their bench I feel Finely and Van Exel just aren't what they're hyped to be. Sure, they won over 60 games this season, and they're a great team, but make no mistake...This is a series that can be a potential upset. I believe the Kings are better than their record says because they tanked the first part of the season. Why? No Artest. Since he's come into the lineup they're like 25-10. They match up well with the Spurs and are hungry. I'm tempted to say the Kings in 7, but I just can't. I say the Spurs in 6. But I do believe the Kings will make a series of it, and it should be quite entertaining.

Suns (2) vs Lakers (7)
Another series with the potential for upset. Kobe is balling out of his friggin mind right now, and as long as the Lakers can keep games close and give Kobe a chance to shine in the 4th they'll always have a chance. The Suns do however boast a 3-1 series lead over them in the regular season. The Lakers, in order to win this series, need to slow the game down, pound it inside and crash the offensive boards...They aren't very good at that stuff. The Suns just need to be the Suns and run run run! I see this being a 5 or 6 game series with the Suns just having too much fire power for the Lakers; however, let me say that this Lakers team is going to be very dangerous in the next few years. As they mature and build around Kobe I see them competing for the title in a couple of years. Watch out.

The above is from my playoff preview thread.
Kinda eerie how I called both matchups could be upsets and it looks like they both may be. Lakers and kings are doing everything they need to do to win. Artest is just killing Ginobili and Bowen, and Bonzi Wells is playing like a young charles Barkley. Even scarier, the kings have out played the spurs in the last 3 games.
The Lakers, well, they basically have the perfect game plan. I knew I should have picked them to beat the Suns. Phil Jackson is such a great coach he's exposed all the suns weaknesses.

Let's not forget that Sharizzle Abdul Rahizzle has been doing a pretty decent job keeping Duncan under wraps. They're pretty much letting him guard Duncan one on one, and it's looking like it's paying off. I still don't know what the hell Bibby is doing... This last game was much better than the one before, but nothing like he's capable of

Yeah he's been doing a great job on Duncan; however, let's not forget Duncans foot is messed up right now. The man is injured.

As for Bibby...I dunno man. He was so clutch in years past during the playoffs but this series he's stunk it up.

Oh and you know what I find terribly interesting? The fact that the Lakers appear to play better when Kobe scores in the 20's vs the 30s or 40s. He's playing incredibly (and he's still super clutch as proven yesterday), but he doesn't need to score out of control as long as the rest of the team picks up the slack.

Creeping around as I please nonchalantly like any other Supreme Emperor might.

DAMN! Phoenix forces game 7! That was one of the best games I've ever seen. These playoffs are off the hizzook!
