NEW JERSEY ARE IN!!@#!@#!@$@!

Detroit all the way...again

Who from Denver is going to stop Duncan? He is the premier playoffs performer of the last 5 years, and will come up big again.

Indiana and Boston will be an awesome series. Reggie to go out with a bang. He's been playing awesome ball lately.

Chicago/Wizards could be a preview of next year's East Conf Finals.

I hope Yao goes off in the playoffs, but I think Dirk will get Dallas into the second round

Some very interesting match up's....

In the East I like the Pacers over Boston, Wizards over Bulls, Pistons over Philly and the Heat just over the Nets.

If Alonzo was still with the Nets I would of probably tipped in their favour over the Heat. Shaq is gonna dominate as the Nets truely lack a centre.

Westside, I'm liking the Suns over the Griz, Spurs over the Nugs (matchup of the 1st round), I have a feeling that the Kings will beat Seattle (playoff experience thingy) and Dallas and Houston.....can't seperate, but I'm going Dallas (like Dirk more than McGrady).

It's gonna be a cracker of a playoff series, and the happiest thing about it all, the LeBron's missed out, meaning the Cats have two lottery picks..... GO CATS!!!!

Is Brad Miller back for the finals or still out injured?

As yet he's not going to back for the 1st round.

Jersey Baby!!!!!

Cmon now, say it loud and say it proud...

N...E...T...S... Nets, Nets, Nets

Kidd and Vince, with RJ hopefully coming back, and rednut Scalabrine stepping up, we got Miami on toast!!!!

Theres gonna be a big upset with Philly beatin Detriot.

I think you need your head read G-Funk. Phili doesn't have the depth to give it to Detroit. THIS YEAR anyway. If they make some good trades in the Off-Season and bring in some back up for AI they'll have a fair crack next year.

I would love to see Jersey win but can't see it happening. Seattles my pick. A suns win would be nice to but they just arnt deep enough.

I'm hoping Houston get though to the second round as well as Phoenix, pistons and the wizards. But you no that Miami is a lock for the second round. i have denver making the upset of the round.

I think NJ have the best shot of causing an upset in the 1st round.
They have nothing that will stop Shaq but who does. The Heat will struggle to contain Carter and Kidd matches up pretty favourably on Wade.

I think Pacers will beat Boston in the 1st round, but not have much left for the Pistons in the semis.

Washington will beat the Bulls, who will really miss Curry.

Phili have no hope against the Pistons.

Phoenix will probbly sweep Memphis.

Spurs will likely beat Denver tho they might test them.

Sacto should beat Seattle if Peja is healthy.

Dallas v Houston is the best matchup of the round. Both teams deserve to make it past the 1st round ahead of teams like Sacto and Seattle. I'd love to see Houston win but I think Dallas will be too much.

I really hope the Finals is a heat vs spurs SHAQ V DUNCAN matchup, its been a while since 2 mega stars squared off in the big dance

Good to see Denver get up in Game 1. I think that if they can keep Camby, Nene and K-Mart rotating on Duncan in defence it will be hard for him to have a real break-out game. If the Spurs are to win everyone is going to need to step up in Game 2. We'll have to wait and see what Duncan can produce once his ankle gets it's strength back.

Was a good game between Wizards and Bulls. Nice to see Gordon light it up - ROY and 6th Man in my eyes.

Anyone watch Reggie and the Pacers get routed? I think it was 8 secs after Ricky Davis came in that he scored and Celtics didn't look back from there.

How good are the bulls they are missing Eddy CURRY and Luol Deng and they beat the Wizards. You all thought this day will never come but they are a team on the rise and no one can stop the bulls. The mighty bulls have six rookies and they can still kickass. Even though they do not beat Detroit they are the team to watch out for. Go Ben, Kirk and Nocioni

Houston have just gone up 2 - 0 against the Mavs. Huge game from Ming and a game winner from McGrady have sealed a 2 point win

Looks like the Mavs will again come up short in the finals

Dallas Maverics vs. Indiana Pacers

Indiana Pacers and Dallas Maverics

That guy is the next Michael Jordan. No doubt about it.
