I'm so hyped for the playoffs after watching this:

[GeneralGeeWhiz]

Let's go Kobe and Co.

First Round:Cleveland over Detroit (5 games)Boston over Chicago (6)Orlando over Philly (5)(God, the first round in the EAST is so boring! Thankfully, Miami/ATL could be the best series of the first round. I went back and forth on this 20 times but I like Miami over ATL in 7. I just think Wade will find a way. But I wouldnt be surprised if the Hawks won in 5 either. Should be entertaining.)Lakers over Utah (6)Nuggets over NO (7)Blazers over Rockets (7)Upset: Dallas over SA (6)----just a feeling that they really miss Manu (their spark-plug) in a long series.Man, the west first round is amazing.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Actually excited for the East matchups for the first time in a long time. Disappointed KG is out, was really looking forward to the Cleveland series. I can't envision anything different happening than a Lakers Cavs finals now, which is scary bc whenever it seems to be that cut and dry something crazy happens.My only predictions:-Cleveland isn't going to dominate the East like people think they're going to. I think Atlanta could give them problems.-If Denver beats NO, Dallas gets to the WCF. If NO beats Den, then NO gets to the WCF.-If both teams are healthy as they are now, Laker beat the Cavs in 5. Personally I don't think these teams are close, but as they said about AI in '01, "Lebron gon get you one."

the lakers will give them fits but you have to at least admit that this cavs team would blow that team from two years ago off the court

Yea, this team is much better. Last years team was better, just not good enough to beat Boston. This year they don't even have to sweat Boston unless KG makes a miracle comeback.

Well that wasn't really fair. That team wouldn't have gotten out of the 1st rd in the West that year. Probably the worst conf in history.

Ya I'll take 7 of those please.

How good is Derrick Rose going to be? Holy hell.

[CaneBrain]

wow. Boston looks really vulnerable. The refs did everything they could to get Boston a W today. No dice. Rose and Gordon were spectacular.I still like Boston but you cant make a serious argument anymore that a Bulls upset is unpossible.

I'm glad other people thought so too, because I wasn't sure if it was real or just my massive Bulls bias.Seriously though what a game. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

I thought the same thing... it was just crazy how many times they tried to give Boston the game.So big! Ship the homecourt advantage!

The Celtics took over for the Spurs last year as the team the refs cheat the most for.
