UPDATED: 4-22-07
Last year's playoffs were very intriguing and made for some amazing match ups and games. I believe tv ratings for last year's NBA playoffs were up over 10%. I hope that trend continues, because this year's match ups seem even better than last year.
Here's how they will go:
Eastern Conference:
#6 New Jersey vs #3 Toronto (Toronto in 6)
This is a very interesting match up. New Jersey has underachieved all season, though they can point to injuries to explain some of that. They are now somewhat healthy and have their big three (Carter, Jefferson, Kidd) rolling.
#4 Miami vs #5 Chicago (Chicago in 7)
#8 Orlando vs #1 Detroit (Detroit in 5)
#7 Washington vs #2 Cleveland (Cleveland in 5)
Western Conference:
#4 Utah vs #5 Houston (Houston in 6)
#7 Los Angeles vs #2 Phoenix (Phoenix in 6)
#6 Denver vs #3 San Antonio (San Antonio in 5)
#8 Golden State vs #1 Dallas (Dallas in 6)
*I will be detailing my thoughts in the next couple of days and updating this post. I understand no one who regularly reads my blog will care (maybe Diane?) but just humor me folks!?!?!?! Hah. And seriously people, I am a basketball sage! Behold as my playoff picks, one by one, come true!

Other than watching Lebron, I just can't get into the NBA playoffs.
The only thing I keep hearing lately is how surprised people are The Raptors aren't sucking. Torontonians are in awe! In order to keep myself in the converstation, I usually just say something like "Oh yeah, Chris Bosh is really working to turn the franchise around." But really? I have no idea what that means.
V - I did catch a few games this weekend. I have to admit I was surprised to see Miami lose to the Bulls . . . I'll check back and see how your predictions are going.
p.s. I liked Riley's explanation on how Shaq's feet are too big to get out of the way
Hey, what do you have against LA? Screw Phoenix!
I am so clued out about sports I have only the vaguest notion that around here, there has been some "go Canucks go" talk and their flags on car windows. Are the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals?
I am really too languid to even find out.
I don't watch pro-basketball as a rule, but might make an except to catch a Piston game or two--they're the only thing really clicking in that city on the other side of the state from me...
dude - what up with the Heat? I didn't expect this spanking by the Bulls
Well my Sacramento Kings are now in my mind named the Suckramento Kings. Since they are not in the playoffs I have no interest in watching the playoffs. I am sure that I will watch the Finals but that is it.
