JoeyJoJo 18 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 predictionsWow.I was talking to a friend about this last night and this is series for series exactly what I said. I didn't predict number of games though. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Lakers > Nuggets in 6Jazz > Rockets in 5Spurs > Suns in 6Mavs > Hornets in 7Lakers > Jazz in 7Spurs > Mavs in 6Spurs > Lakers in 7Celtics > Spurs in 7I get to see every matchup I wanted if this plays out. I wanted Spurs v Suns, Spurs v Lakers, and Spurs v Celtics. This would be by far the best championship for the Spurs, imo. Tough tough competition the whole way. I'm actually reasonably happy with opening against the Suns.Oh and I don't even know who is in the playoffs in the East, but I'll just follow the seeding and figure Celtics beat Pistons in 6 in conference finals.

tskillz187 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Anyone wanna bet on any of these? I'm willing to bet with people on a couple of series, or team last longers etc. I'd hafta pay on absolute most likely, unless I could find a friend that would transfer on a different site... (not that unlikely)I'm thinking $20 range/bet would be most comfy for me. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm in shock.I think the Celtics have by far the best chance to win the title this yr, at somewhere around 35-40% of the time. I'd handicap it at Celts: 35%Pistons: 20%Lakers: 15%Spurs: 15%Suns: 10%Other: 5%I think people are drastically understating how impossible it's going to be to beat one of the East teams that has had a much easier path and have fewer injuries.

CaneBrain 95 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Wow.I was talking to a friend about this last night and this is series for series exactly what I said. I didn't predict number of games though.thats crazy. you and I agree a lot though. great minds think alike, right? If I was to predict a crazy turn of events, it would be Toronto upsetting Orlando and Detroit before bowing out to Boston. Also, imo, Boston's toughest out in the East is Cleveland, not Detroit.

(not that unlikely)I'm thinking $20 range/bet would be most comfy for me.I am only willing to bet with transfers taking place on Full Tilt. If you can do that, I would be more than happy to bet a few series with you. My first offer would be on Suns Spurs. If Spurs win you get 20 bucks. If Suns win, I get 25. Let me know.

Let me know.Def not laying odds on that series, every single person on here and analyst I've seen has picked the peaking Suns against the floundering Spurs. I don't think I'd have trouble betting through Tilt, but if we figure some bets out, I'll ask around. Link to post Share on other sites

If I was to predict a crazy turn of events, it would be Toronto upsetting Orlando and Detroit before bowing out to Boston. Also, imo, Boston's toughest out in the East is Cleveland, not Detroit.Is Boston's great team defense more vulnerable to a one-man attack like Lebron or a balanced offense like Detroit?I could probably talk myself into a Dallas first round upset just because New Orleans apparently can't win in Dallas and they are inexperienced. But then again, Chris Paul.I could also talk myself into Boston winning it all, but KG's past playoffs worry me. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 That's like a Lakers fan saying they will win the west, no bias at all Oh but again, just because I live in Detroit does not make me a Pistons fan. I can say with honesty and conviction I have not watched one single Pistons game all year. I can also say I have never looked to see what their record is or what a score of their game is. This "prediction" is based on nothing but knowing the hype around Boston and believing that it just plain won't happen. I don't like basketball. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, imo, Boston's toughest out in the East is Cleveland, not Detroit.Toronto can beat Orlando, it will be a nice matchup of two of the three best big men in the conference with Bosh/Howard going at it.I also think the Wizards can beat the Cavs with Arenas back.
