no way orlando beats detroit , i agree boston will knock off the pacers

jdfan..first, Ben Wallace is not healthy. Had he been healthy, I'd pick Detroit over the Magic.

But with an injured Wallace rushed back into action, I don't think Pistons have enough offense to offset McGrady and his buddies.

Also, the schedules come out tomorrow morning, and I will post a link to the days that each team will be playing, and the time.

I talked to my buddies in the business of fixing games and this is how it will play out.

enough said this the story, I at least this is what I think
the lakers are out in the first round the KG and the crew

Gioperation....Wolves beat Lakers, huh? If so, it better not go to game 7. Wolves better think about doing it in 6 games or less.

Game 7 is all about experience. Just ask the Sacramento Kings.

Lakers don't care about whether games are played at home or on the road.

wow, no one is picking Orlando to win? Y'all don't think, with an injured Ben Wallace (Pistons depend on their defense, b/c they really aren't a big scoring team), that this doesn't give McGrady and the Magic an advantage?

[bassmaster]

I'll go with SA, LA, Sacramento and Dallas all in 5 games. In the East, I think NJ also wins in 5. The other series will be tougher. Indiana, Phily and Orlando will all win in 6.

Not only does Detroit have an injured Ben Wallace, they have one of the biggest playoff chokers in the history of the NBA. Uncle Cliffy will be the demise of the Pistons.
