@ the draft lecture...

But what can poor rem win? :dontknow:

Lakers sweep Denver - Even w/o Bynum

Jazz over Rockets in 5 - T-Mac's a pumpkin.

Spurs over Suns in 5 - Suns looked tired as hell

Hornets over Mavs in 5 - Mavs are in really deep :censored:

Celtics beat Hawks in 6 - I have a feeling Hawks make a strong showing

Pistons over 76ers in 5 - Dre is usually good for one playoff win

Magic over Raptors in 6 - Dwight v. Bargnani :lol:

Wizards over Cavs in 5 - Butler/Arenas/Jams is a pretty heavy trio for the East.

See you soon rem :eyebrows:

I'm betting on Denver to beat the Lakers. I honestly think that the Lakers are overrated without Bynum. No way the Lakers with the championship over San Antonio or Utah. Denver does have the talent to beat the Lakers...they're a very bipolar team. The Lakers need to play like a team and that is their advantage. Usually the "team" game wins...but I think Denver's individual stars can pull it out.

Keep in mind, I didn't say "likely", I said "CAN". I hope they do because I live in LA and I HATE the Lakers and their fans. I wanted to kill myself from the torture from their "three-peat" and all the crap I had to take for it. :upset:

Wizards vs Cavs (Know they haven't been playing well, but got to go with Bron in 6)

Mavs vs Hornets (gonna go Hornets in 4, my team)

Jazz vs Rockets (Jazz in 6, Houston gets 2, but that's about it)

Suns vs Spurs (gotta go with the Suns in 7, this is going to be a war, perhaps the best series in the 1st, could go either way)

Raptors vs Magic (I'm gonna go Raps too in 7)

76ers vs Pistons (I also like Pistons in 5)

Hawks vs Celtics (Celtics in 5, I think the Hawks take one, could be a sweep though)

Lakers vs Nuggets (Lakers in 5)

Go Hornets FTW!!!

Denver was horrible on the road and you EXPECT them to win the series with 4 of the games at Staples Center ?

You must have forgot the Nuggets need to win in Staples which won't be easy. And tell Sleepy51 I said so.

Yeah I said IT.
