With the playoffs coming up I sat and pondered the upcoming playoffs, Again I was seduced by the alluring power of my crystal ball. Here is what I saw for round 1Plenty of strange things happening but it all started with Denver and San-Antonio.Joey Crawford was allowed back due to the other top 3 refs getting food poisoning- the NBA was desperate so his suspension was lifted. Unfortunately he hadn't learnt his lesson and 2 mins before tip off he gives TD a double tech and Duncan is relegated to watching the first game from the sidelines. Crawford doesn't stop there; he harasses Mello too, asking the nuggets star "do you wanna fight? Do you wanna fight?" Mello didn't handle it very well and ran away. That left a big show down of AI V Tony Parker- Iverson leads the nuggets to an easy win. The spurs never recover, and the Nuggs move onThe first round match up that everyone expected to be over in 4 between Dallas and Golden State went 7. It turned out that Jason terry simply couldn't guard Bdiddy in the first 6 games. So Coach Avery Johnson found a loophole in league rules and injected himself into the starting line-up- Sad to say he couldn't guard Baron either- the Warriors went through to round 2.Phoenix v Lakers went pretty much according to plan Kobe averaged 50 and the Lakers lost in 6. Barbosa was out of sorts though and kept looking towards the stands- word on the street is that the Brazilian had a commitment to represent his country in the Copoeira (Brazilian dance fighting) world cup and his fighting team mates weren't happy he pulled out.The Match up that looked like being close Houston V Utah was over in 4. Because after 2 years of constant pressure from the people of the city Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams finally gave in and became Mormons- they missed the entire series because they were doorknocking for their church.In the east there were some really strange things happening too.The Raptors V the Nets turned into a battle of the benches, when Joumana Kidd seduced Vince Carter. When Jason found out he refused to play with Carter and sat out. Carted was feeling really bad, benched himself and the Nets were a shambles. Chris Bosh sustained and injury,-- on one play he tried to use his neck to block a shot when his arms weren't long enough, instead of blocking his ball he dislocated his neck. Doctors said "that?s the longest Dam Neck we ever saw"The Miami Heat played lost Gary Payton after winning Game 1 V the Cavs. Payton who is also known as the glove was caught breaking into a car in the parking lot. Police were baffled at first why he would do it, but later found out that the license plate was "glove1" and was owned by the chairman of condom makers Durex- Apparently Gary had been feuding with the man for years over that license plate- he wanted it.The Heat strangely struggle with out Gary and lose in 5. The series win prompted Cavs coach Mike Brown to say "all the way with LBJ"Ben Wallace and the Chicago bulls were caught napping by the Wizards in the first 3 games and dug them selves a 3-0 hole. Then Big Ben Wallace stepped up. From out of nowhere Scot Skiles allows Wallace to wear his head band again and Ben starts dominating offensively- his massive variety of lost post moves, stun the basketball world and Ben Averages 29 ppg and leads the Bulls to four strait wins and a second round birth. "I have always had it in me" he said "my magic has alway been in that head band"The Magic Vs the Piston series went the distance- the Pistons got up a 2 game lead and then lost 3 strait when Chris Webber started shooting 15 elbow jumpers per game -whilst shooting 24% from the feild- The Pistons got so mad they benched him for game 6. With the series tied at 3-3 the pistons let him back into the line-up. They soon wished they hadn't. With the scores locked at 88 a piece and 2 secs left, Webber pulled down a rebound and called a timeout. The pistons didn't have any left and thus gave up technical foul. The Magic hit the free throw and won game 7. Webber was seen boarding a plane for Mexico.That what is going to happen. Stay tuned for round 2 premonitions.
:HAHAHA:Not as good as the first edition, but still somewhat funny. The best ones were the Chris Bosh and Deron Williams/Carlos Boozer ones!
Not very good considering the Bulls are playing the Heat and Cavs are playing the Wiz. Wash your crystal ball. And no, not as good as the first.
