    Well, the regular season is almost over and the Playoffs are almost here. It's time to put it all together and make a run for the Crown. Win, and you're in. Sounds simple enough, but who will be peaking at the right time? Who will run out of gas at the end? Answers upcoming in the months ahead. Enjoy the Playoffs!

    <font color=""Navy"">Eastern Conference</font>

    Detroit (1) Over Sixers (8)

    The beasts in the East, it's hard to imagine the Pistons will have difficulty with a Sixers team that has Chris Webber in the lineup. Sixers play arguably the best team in the conference on the road. They simply don't have the depth to keep up with Motown, and despite a few Allen Iverson runners and Andre Igoudala highlight reel jams, Pistons will roll.

    Miami (2) Over Indiana (7)

    This series will be very close. Rick Carlisle should have his troops ready for battle, and a seven game series is not unlikely.

    Nets (3) Over Bucks (6)

    Kidd and company have been to the finals in back-to-back seasons and it was not a fluke. The Nets are as tight a group as they were during the two year run, I wouldnt be surprised if Nets battle against the Pistons in the Conference Finals.

    Cleveland (4) Over Wizards (5)

    <font color=""Red"">Western Conference</font>

    San Antonio (1) Over Sacramento (8)

    Robert Horry[​IMG]

    Suns (2) Over Lakers (7)

    Suns play Run ~N~ Gun! Smush is a playground Legend. You have Kobe and then you have the Zen Master.

    Grizzlies (6) Over Nuggets (3)

    This should be a real close series. But the Grizzlies should be able to steal this one.

    Clippers (5) Over Mavs (4)

    I've never thought I'd say this but Elton Brand is a beast and the Mavs are slipping fast.

    Some of your comments are just word's with no connectives, leaving you a few free throw's short of an actual sentence.

    I'd like to see N.O. slip into the #8 spot and see Sactown lottery bound...

    I wanna see washington over Cleveland but unless washington starts gelling like last years playoff's I don't give them much of a chance. The only thing they have going for them is experience (I know..not much) but I think LeBron James is skilled enough to make experience not matter.

    I think Washington will be a good matchup for Cavs. They have no bench, then again Cleveland has a pretty weak bench themselves. If Hughes was healthy it would be a definite win for Cavs but I think it will be a good match up. The Phoenix Suns vs. Lakers now thats a good first round. Phoenix is really a cake team. They only have offense and bordering on defense its really terrible. Most of the time Phoenix wins is because they outscored their opponents. If Lakers could match that offense and press on the D they got it.

    I want the Hornets to go to the playoffs if not for Chris Paul and his hard works sake for New Orleans sake. I think that would be a good thing to take their mind off their troubles. [​IMG]
