personally I cant wait for a pistons celtics series
that should be great
any opinions?

I don't know about the West because I really don't know who's going to play who.

But in the East, I can't wait for a Cleveland/Bos series.

I'd like to see Washington - Cleveland in the first round because I want more Lebron/Deshawn smack. I loved Lebron coming out with the Jay-Z remark; it's incredibly how in love with that guy Lebron is.

I'd actually also be really psyched about Cleveland-Boston in the 2nd round to see Lebron go up against the big 3. That's a tall order for the king.

Phoenix-LA for obvious reasons

Actually I'm excited about pretty much any match up in the West. Any rematches of series from last year should be pretty intense, like Houston-Utah, SA-Phoenix, Dallas-GS

Since I am a Suns fan I would kill for a Lakers-Suns series. Two very talented teams with quite a bit of history over the past few years.

playoff matchups, round by round we go.

in the west, where we stop, nobody knows

miami - new york

i imagine scores between 53 - 57 (25% total shooting overall)
and 156 - 153 (everyone forgets defence)

its the perfect series! you dont know what you'll get! THINK OF THE RATINGS PEOPLE!

Utah-New Orleans, paul vs williams has always been great to watch so i imagine in the playoffs would make it that much better
also
Utah-Denver, may never happen thanks to denver but id love that playoff matchup for the rivalry:D

Utah vs Detroit!

I'd love it. If Williams keeps up his trend of outplaying Paul, what will people say then? It was just a fluke, or will people say Williams>Paul again? I don't care, it's just good ol' fun.

Since the All-Star break was over I've been watching pretty much playoff games in the West, they're not waiting. (basically every game that includes teams from the top 9 are great viewing)

West:

Suns/Lakers & Hornets/Jazz (Paul vs. Williams)

East:

Cavs/Pistons & Celtics/Pistons


Overall I'd say Celtics/Lakers

Don't you want the Finals to be competitive at the very least? That match-up would be 4 blowouts in Boston's favor.

Spurs vs Mavs out west, Hornets vs Jazz, Lakers vs Suns all in the first round.

I don't think so. I'm waiting for a Boston/LA matchup in the Finals as well, and I think it could go at least 6 games. Boston has a great trio of stars, but LA has their own stars, as well as a relatively deep bench.

Lol actually I think it'll be a pretty close series.. 6 games at the least. Honestly I could care less who wins, its just gonna be an amazing series to watch. Again...

I personally don't see it that way, I see an easy sweep by the Celtics, but to each there own I guess

Lakers/Suns

Mavs/Spurs

Jazz/Hornets

Lakers/Celtics

The 4 I want to see the most

Cleveland/Washington
Cleveland/Boston
Cleveland/Detroit
Cleveland/Lakers


after that, it's Suns/Spurs - that series got pretty physical last year, I want to see if the same stuff happens with Shaq on the Suns. As of today, that would be a round 1 matchup.
