So its either Hawks or Nuggets...

Hawks are against Celtics

Nuggets are against Lakers...




Nuggets dont play D, but Lakers are actually playing well... but if they play "loose" then Nuggets can get away.

Hawks against the Celtics... Garnett would have to miss a lot of games...

Hawks have talent, they just dont have the chemistry... or catalysts to make everyone work together.

I think your best bet is Golden State.

They have a shot at winning it all.

Correction. What a huge loss that will be. Ain't no chance in hell. The two 8 seeds will be lucky to combine for 3 wins.

Sorry dude not this year. Maybe a 7th or 6th seed but not an 8th seed. Maybe if the Nuggets re-made themselves in 3-4 days and played more defense we could see the upset but I just don't think they can.

Actually, it is not completely impossible. If Mavs falls to 8th seed, they actually have a chance to beat LA. Indeed, if the playoff picture becomes:

LA vs Mavs
NO vs Denver
Spur vs Suns
Rockets vs Jazz

I will say each lower seed has a chance to beat the upper seed.

Actually, I think one of the two 7 seeds will advance.

Either Philly or Nuggets/Mavericks.

Neither of those would surprise me in the least.

How about you start right now cause not only your prediction is wrong but you grammar skills isnt that great either .
So maybe you should take the time and work on both issues while your at it .
You know give yourself some time to work on both problems. :rofl:

Hilarious post. You should have never made this post, but it's good enough that you won't be back.

I predict that at least 8 teams will win a game in round one.
