The Official NBA Playoff Predictions!! 2008!!

[Young Lou]

FINALS-DETROIT OVER L.A. in 5!!!

 

[Tony]

lakers over nuggets in 7
spurs over suns in 6
jazz over rockets in 6
mavericks over hornets in 7

eastern conference

celtics over hawks in 4
pistons over 76ers in 5
magic over raptors in 6
cavs over wizards in 6

After that when it's all said and done the Lakers (or Spurs) will represent the West and the Celtics will represent the East.

Lakers over Celtics in the NBA Finals. I think it'll go all 7 games with the Lakers winning the title. If not, the Spurs will win it again over the Celtics.

 

[Tony]

Phoenix and New Orleans will both get eliminated in the first round

 

[ThiZZmAtiC510]

so you think it'll take 7 games for the lakers to beat the nuggets, and 7 games to beat the celtics as well?

 

[Tony]

yeah I think it'll take the Lakers 7 games to beat Denver because of AI's, Carmelo's, and Camby's playoff experience. They've played some good basketball and I think they won't go easy.... I say 7 games. I think in game 7 the Lakers will come out focused and will probably hold a double digit lead throughout the game. But I am picking the Lakers to win it all. Kobe has a good team around him now so he's out to prove he can win a ring without Shaq.

 

[MacRyzle]

If the Lakers need 7 games to beat an 8 seed they don't deserve to win a Championship.

 

[Tony]

You gotta look at the competition... George Karl is a good coach. He had his Sonics face Phil Jackson's Bulls back in the mid 90's so he's an experienced coach. Melo is out to prove himself, Camby ain't no joke. Denver is not what you would call your average 8th seeded team. And last year the number 1 seeded team was upset by the 8th seeded team in 6 games.

Im surprised how many people are picking the suns over the spurs

 

[KillaClown]

Im sticking with my pre-season picks-

Detroit and Phoenix in the finals.

Though the whole Phoenix making it to the finals idea is more hope than anything right now.

 

[CZAR]

[KrazeeRDM]
