We've already got a thread to discuss the NBA (National Basketball Association) in general, but I thought it would be nice to discuss specifically about the playoffs, especially since they're rapidly approaching. Here are my predictions. Feel free to agree or disagree with them. The teams are listed by their seed, with the first team listed having the 1st seed, and so on. Some teams have already clinched playoff spots anyway. - Cleveland Cavaliers
- Boston Celtics
- Orlando Magic
- Miami Heat
- Atlanta Falcons
- Detroit Pistons
- Philadelphia Sixers
- New York Knicks
- L.A. Lakers
- San Antonio Spurs
- Houston Rockets
- New Orleans Hornets
- Denver Nuggets
- Portland Trail Blazers
- Dallas Mavericks
- Utah Jazz

Yeah, that Western Conference seems to have its playoffs teams locked up. Phoenix has a pretty crucial stretch ahead of them.
Anyway, it seems like we chose similar choices. That wasn't really surprising considering the nature of the teams involved.
Any upsets on your mind? I'm hoping the Mavericks upset whoever they play in the first round of the playoffs.

You put your team below the Cavaliers, though. I thought for sure you'd put them as the first seed in their conference.

i want them 2 get 1st seed, but right now i dont think they will. They r injured right now and 3 or 4 games behind the cavs. they have streaky lately and KG is injured

Mongoose, you're kind of right ... and the Celtics lost again yesterday (to the Bulls: 127-121). They might not even get the 2nd seed as that could go to the Magic instead.
DAMNIT - Good choices.

You mean a bet for every game or a bet for the champion game? Or a different bet?

I'll do that shortly, once I actually become familiar with the NHL teams. It's been a while since I've followed them.
This thread and the NHL thread won't be the actual contest threads, though. Once we get closer to the playoffs I'll create a "Contests" board and have those contests there.

More signs that people think that the Celtics will drop to the third seed. They've become my favorite team in the Eastern conference.

1. Cavs 2. Celtics 3. Magic 4. Heat 5. Hawks 6. Bulls 7. Pistons 8. Sixers
1. Lakers 2. Spurs 3. Rockets 4. Nuggets 5. Hornets 6. Blazers 7. Mavericks 8. Suns
I think Celtics will be in the finals because they got KG back, and they're gonna get Leon Powe back soon. Also they beat the Cavs without KG this year once...
