hmm bummer garnett is injured, i hope we get at least to conference finals, we will definetly get pass Bulls, 70-80% of Orlando, without Garnett im guessing a 25% chance with Cleveland (we'll probably win our 2 home games, 3 maybe) my predictions for this years playoffs Cleveland will win Piston 4-1 Boston will win 4-2 Orlando probably 4-0, or 4-1 Miami will win 4-3 Cleveland wins Eastern Conference Finals Lakers win Jazz 4-2 New Orleans might upset the Nuggets 4-3 Spurs will win Mavericks 4-1 Houston will probably win 4-2 Lakers will win Western Conference I hate the Lakers but if it really does come down to Lakers vs Cavs, Lakers might win a 7 series game i might be wrong =P
the way things are going right now... I predict Garnett WILL PLAY... he will be played only at elimination games and the NBA finals if they get there... there's just no way he would just give in to an injury... the only way that we can be sure he won't play, is if he gets surgery done anytime between now and game 4 of the first series... if Garnett's injury was surely serious enuff to sideline him the rest of the season... why wait 3+months b4 surgery? remember, the man's pretty much been out for 2 months all ready... newayz... i say the Bulls in 6... Joakim Noah's energy will be off the charts... mark my words
i wanna see celtics vs lakers again but that ain't happening i still don't know about cavs beating magic to clain east division...but for sure lakers has to have it this year WADE 4 MVP
series that should be interesting are hawks/heats and blazers/rockets the bulls will give celtics a run esp. if KG is gone.
we were able to b eat bulls without KG so i still predict withing 5 games. I kinda predict KG will come back too, but i like doc rivers as a coach, he cares more about his players health than win, even on his interview this morning he said he doesnt want garnett to play. But yeh i predict if we do face orlando in the semi finals, Garnett might come back
uhm... no u didn't... the only game the Celtics played against the Bulls w/o KG this year they lost... got rocked by Brad Miller and Salmons lol
cavs and lakers will face each other in the finals, Cavs and Lakers are the top teams in the NBA and in their conference right now i think if anything happens, the NBA will make sure these two teams will reach the NBA Finals
gah i need tickets to a celts game! and soon... without KG point guarding.... the celtics offense have very little room for error....
the Celts can take it if Ray Allen can hit his shots... I think he's the key to this series... remember last season's playoffs he really played like shite except for maybe 2-3 games and still won... he reallly needs to throw up the threes...
i think from everything if orlando can survive against phill they will win against cavs they proof it the last time against cavs with big numbers. in this case the finals will be diffrent but how diffrent i don't predict yet And i still believe that spurs can win this but it is a way slimmer chance now ginobli is gone :(.
without KG the celts would not be able to stop the Lakers offense.... so we are pretty much screwed if it comes to that... I really think the Cavs will be in the finals....
