The seedings of the playoffs and even if some teams make the playoffs or not will be determined by the next few games. Dallas, SA, and Detroit will fight for Home court advantage, while teams like Chicago, New Orleans, Utah, adn Boston will fight to make the playoffs. It all starts now..
This will be an interesting playoff race down the stretch. I'm more interested to see how Miami finishes, because htey look downright scary right now
Yeah, man. Detroit is playing Dallas on Tuesday, and Dallas against San Antonio on April 7th.Two pretty big games right there.
Here is how I see the seeds coming out:<u>Eastern Conference round 1:</u>1.)Detroit Pistons8.) 76ersPistons win series 4-12.)Miami Heat7.)Milwaukee BucksHeat win series 4-13.)New Jersey Nets6.)

You may laugh or mock but when phil was asked about the spurs he had that cocky smile going on, that smile which said "no worries" . I think phil has some thing up his sleeves [that's if we get the 8th].

Well, the Cs just took themselves completely out of the race. The blew a double digit lead in the fourth. :no1:
What is phil going to do? No-one knows the spurs better than phil jackson and kobe bryant. I'm not saying we will win, we wont. But i think we'd do better against the spurs than the suns.

Did you just see what you wrote?The Lakers, and team with only one player with any consistent scoring, that plays mediocre defense and has trouble shooting off kick outs, doing better against the Spurs than a team primed to win 55+ games, that has scorers everywhere, size, and athletisicm. This Spurs team is so unathletic it's not even funny, and Phoenix is the one team who could really use that to their advantage. There's no comparison
