    I've come to the conclusion that I don't really care what happens the next three games. It's fine if the Bulls win or lose just as long as everyone comes away healthy. So let's move on to the good stuff. bullsger is on a roll.

    5. bullsger (On the road again) (Oh thank Krishna, Noah is almost back stretch) (The Last Stretch of Ugly *cleanse the palate*) (stretch of Meh) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    4. Transplant (On the road again) (Oh thank Krishna, Noah is almost back stretch) (Stretch of Meh) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    4. Good Hope (On the road again) (Oh thank Krishna, Noah is almost back stretch) (The Last Stretch of Ugly *cleanse the palate*) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    2. Denny (The Stretch of One) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    2. FastForward7 (Stretch of cupcakedness) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    2. Such Sweet Thunder (Stretch of cupcakedness) (the stretch of the Cs game and the one before it we don't care about)
    1. Truebluefan (The Last Stretch of Ugly *cleanse the palate*)
    1. bullshooter (Stretch of doom)
    1. Rosenthal (Stretch of Meh)

    New arbitrary rule.
    From here on out you have to pick the games individually correctly to get points.

    They'll give us their best shot in game 1. We can't give them an inkling of hope in either game, or it'll be a longer series than we'd like. The key for us is to turn that HCA into a chance to rest up between series. So that we have HCA and rest in our favor. If things get stretched out, it could hurt in the later rounds.

    2-0 Bulls

    Nothing original here. 2-0. 9 game win streak going into the playoffs. Hot damn.

    And I don't expect any other prediction.

    2 wins for Bulls.

    At some point someone has to start picking against the Bulls or we could all end up in the same place.

    This can be right. But I really expecting a 2-0 start to the series. Then another win and a loss at Indiana. And one more to win the series 4-1.

    And in the next round it will be much more difficult to predict the games.

    Bad form, I know.

    But I stand by this. We've seen the best of the Pacers. It was almost enough.

    Hey, you deserve a bow after your prediction about game 1. Do you really think rest is important to this team though? It seems to me that they're ready for a deep run (or not ready for a deep run) regardless of how much rest they get.

    Yes, I do. Especially Joakim and Carlos, who are still recovering. And practice time.

    These games are challenging, but Miami or Boston are going to demand a lot more of them still, and then there are the finals after that!
