Now that the 2006-2007 NBA season is over, the playoff seedings are set. What follows is my annual NBA playoff predictions. I did not do too bad last year, going 7-1, missing my spreads by 8 games out of 8 rounds - not too shabby. Enough jibber-jabber
- on to the predictions! I don’t have much time this week to get into
the depths of each series, so short blurbs will have to do.
Eastern Conference
1) Pistons vs. 8) Magic
Pistons in 6.
I hate the Pistons. I hate the Pistons. They make me root for the Knicks.
2) Cavs vs. 7) Wizards
Bulls in 5
No Gilbert, no chance. Would have made for a rematch of the best first round from last year.
3) Raptors vs. 6) Nets
Nets in 7
Does anyone have playoff experience for the Raptors?
4) Heat vs. 5) Bulls
Heat in 6
Funny that the Bulls were this close to getting the 2 seed and they are
bumped all the way down to 5. They will make life very hard for the
Heat but and old Ben Wallace is worse than an old Shaq.
Western Conference
1) Mavs vs. 8) Warriors
Mavs in 5
Sixty-seven wins wins this one.
2) Suns vs. 7) Lakers
Suns in 6
Kobe will score all but 5 points for the Lakers during this series, but the Suns have their center this year…
3) Spurs vs. 6) Nuggets
Nuggets in 7
Yea, the Spurs will get every single call this post season, but AI,
Camby, and ‘Mello should sneak/squeak by… or get crushed by the
basketball machine that is the Spurs… or Manu is balding and aging…
4) Jazz vs. 5) Rockets
Rockets in 5
Sorry Utah fans, the Rockets are healthy for the first time in 27 years
and loaded with two superstars and a whole bunch of good role players.
What happened last time the Rockets had those pieces (one of the best
centers and two guards in the NBA)? David Robinson went commando and
Shaq got embarrassed he issued a 1 on 1 Pay-per-view Challenge to try
and reclaim his honor. I guess a handful rings will have to do. Should
have drawn the Warriors or Nuggets or the Eastern Conference.

I cannot believe that the Bulls lost the two seed. That is pretty devastating for their chances…
And Spurs losing to Denver? No way.
I like the Spurs winning in the Finals, probably over the Pistons or Heat.
the raptors will win
WTF?WARRIORS ALL THE WAY BABY
SWEPT DA MAVS,NO COMPETITION.
WARRIORS AND PISTONS IN FINALS.
WARRIORS WIN TITLE!!!!!
The Bulls will win the EAST.
Its heat All the way they are gona defend their title
GO HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty much on point I must say… except for the
Spurs/Nuggets. I have Spurs over the Pistons
for the NBA Title in 7.
Good to see some one see’s the Spurs get the calls
all the time. It is so sad to see Timmy Duncan pout
and cry “every single” time there is a foul called on
him. No one Joey Crawford hated the guy. The day
Duncan admits to a foul like a man is the Manu stops
all the flopping and Bowen plays a clean game. The
Nuggets would stand a chance but it is hard to win a
series when the free thrown difference will on average
34 to 10 per game
the suns and the pistons/cavs at finals with suns taking it all the way
baby!!!!!!!!
messed up on that one, and the heat win in 6 and golden state loses in
5. Need to think for your self and not go witht he populer upsets you
messed up on the nuggets upset; should have picked golden state.
Pistons are 6-0 with no sign of stopping anytime soon. Cya in the
finals :)
everyone knew was that it was going to be either the Suns, Spurs, or
Mavricks wining the West. I say Suns vs Pistons in the Finals. Detroit
taking the title. They can’t be beaten!
hate the Pistons too if I was a fan of another team. It is discusting
to see such a talented team CRUSH their apponents as the Pistons do. It
kinda takes the fun out of the playoffs haha.
kinda suk. You do realize that ALL of your
predictions about the west were wrong right.
Spurs VS. Pistions SPURS in 7
Tim Duncan is going to easily dominate
any big man he has to face from now on,now that Amare (Stoudamire) is out of the way.
and if Manu (Ginobili)and Tony (Parker)
keep hitting their shots no defence can stop them.(reminder to haterz, Spurs beat Pistons
W/Big Ben!)
ok you were right about the Suns, so what!
they still lost in the second round
