nba first round predictions? who are your upsets?

[Tony]

The only threat to the Celtics in the east are the Pistons... and I still don't see them beating the Celtics but they should give them a good challenge. Wizards might get swept trying to get with Boston.

 

[MacRyzle]

Not a chance in hell the Celtics can sweep the Wizards. If the Celts beat the Wizards it will be in 7.

 

[Tony]

If it happened that series won't go more than 5 games. But the Wizards won't get past Cleveland.

 

[Defy]

the only game the Celtics will have that go to 7 will be against the Pistons in the conference finals

 

[MacRyzle]

Washington basically owned the Celtics this year 3-1. Even beating them back to back games. The only game Celtics beat the Wiz was in the season opener. Since then Washington figured them out and had their number.

 

[Chree]

Id take the Washington Warriors over the celtics as well

by the way, i just want to state like i do every year how much i hate the 2-3-2 finals format...even though it would favor the lakers this year if we do end up facing boston or detroit

 

[Bay-Wit-It]

I think AI will make the Nugget LAKER SERIES INTERESTING. Pau should have a tough time against Camby.

 

[ThiZZmAtiC510]

even if he does...we've beaten them without bynum or gasol...

their only chance is to outscore us, and they won't.

 

[Bay-Wit-It]

even if he does...we've beaten them without bynum or gasol...

Yeah I just dont think we should act like this is going to be cake because personally I dont think it will. Although I have no doubt we will win.

I did that in the other thread, but since the standings changed I'll do it again......I agree with you tho on the format of the finals.....I guess they just wanna cut the travel time down or something since its opposite coasts, but I think it should stay 2-2-1-1-1 and just stretch the time between games more
