This thread will be a formal education by Mr. Bird33.

East
1 - Detroit
2 - Cleveland
3 - Boston
4 - Chicago
5 - Toronto
6 - Miami
7 - Washington
8 - Orlando

I like Chicago coming out of the east, but everything is obviously dependent on any Kobe trade.

West
1 - Phoenix
2 - Dallas
3 - San Antonio
4 - Houston
5 - Denver
6 - Utah
7 - Golden State
8 - New Orleans

Phoenix finally gets past San Antonio, and smokes Chicago in the finals.


I think Garnett is good for the MVP, with the usual suspects not far behind.

Boston's over/under win total is 50.5, I like the under.

Oh look! It's Bobby Kielty, the guy who hit the game winning HR is a former jersey.

The Kobe to Chicago deal doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The Bulls would be giving up so much that Kobe would be in the same situation he's with on the Lakers.

I'm not sold on Deng being this all world player everyone assumes he's going to be.I'd try to keep Ben Gordon if I was the Bulls and trade Deng and Noah.That would be good enough to compete in the east.Look how week the Cav's team was last year that went to the finals.Kobe got booed last night at home so he's definitly leaving.

I watched 60% of the sixers game last night.They are as bad as they've been since the Willy Burton era.Louis Williams (the guard they drafted out of high school) is smaller than a college sophmore and will get destroyed unless he's holding back but I doubt it.Dalembert is retarded but a 56 million dollar retard so I'm kind of impressed by him in a non basketball talent way.Igudala turned down 5 years at 55 million probably because Dalembert got more and he sucks.I read that he wants 75 million which is a joke so I give the sixers a small bit of credit for not offering that.Theres some white guys on the team that I have never heard of that play a lot of minutes.They suck.Cheeks is a decent coach but not good enough to turn this bag of shit he's been handed into anything that will win.Overall I pick them to finish in the bottom 3 in the league.I probably won't watch more than 5 games this year and guarantee I won't go to a game.Good times.

Spurs vs. Chicago/Detroit...

if the Bulls have Ben, Deng, Kobe, and Kirk (highly unlikey) they'll be in the Finals.

The Celtics looked pretty good tonight. The Garden was crawling with Red Sox and Patriots...probably some Bruins too, except that no one knows what any of them look like.

I was impressed. Wouldn't mind seeing another Jayhawk get a ring.

Since they cant get past the sweet 16 in college a ring would be nice.

You mean Elite 8...

Hopefully Duke can make it past Virginia Commonwealth this year...

[Anhil8tor]

you made opening night wooly?

[BIRD33]

Kevin Durant is a lock for rookie of the year and its only the third game.27 pts last night.

Chris Paul had 21 assists.Wowzers.

I went opening night last year for the Red tribute, but not this year.

[WoolyGoat]

any revisions?

[BIRD33]

I'd like to move Detroit up to Chicago's place.Blame Rick Bucher for saying that a kobe deal was imminent.I'm still not ready to bail on the Heat but I'm getting close.

[WoolyGoat]

Chicago could make the playoffs, but they won't do any damage. I think I got most of the playoff teams right, but the seedings are way off.


I'm going to regret this post in 3 months.

Chicago's contract situations totally disrupted that team along with Hinrich playing like a short white guy with little athleticism.I don't know anyone who saw how distracted some of those guys would be.If I was them I would start moving guys even if Kobe wasnt involved.They need someone like Gasol.

My Eastern conference finals pick will be laughable.
