Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

I don't like the Heat as well, but we're still talking about the Knicks. Knicks loose in 4. Maybe 5 if the Heat get too comfortable.

"Hate" has nothing to do with it.

Give me...

Chicago in 4...They are better at everything. With or without Rose. Lol
Atlanta in 6...Tracy McGrady gets the monkey off his back and leads the Hawks out of the first round.
Pacers in 5...Gave ORL one because they'll get hot from deep one game.
Heat in 6. Melo will explode in a couple games and they'll be able to slow the Heat down with their improved defense. But, the big three will be too much.

Chicago in 6...Better coached, better defensively, better on the glass.
Miami in 5...they wont be able to keep 'pace' with Miami. See what I did there?

Miami in 6...Same story as last year. Rose has a lackluster series. Heat's big three each have games where they carry the team. Bulls just dont have enough star power to keep up.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs Discussion Thread

Sigh...even with the Lockout they still have those stupid 2 day breaks in between games man. No reason AT ALL for the 1st rd to take 2 weeks to complete. That's ridiculous man...
