April 19, 200719 yr As of now it looks like this with all the spots already decided except for the 7 and 8 seed in the west. Ill do the seeds from top to bottom West Dallas Phoneix San Antonio Utah Houston (Houston gets home court against Utah due to better record) Denver L.A Golden State (Win they are in) East Detroit Cleveland Toronto Miami Chicago New Jersey Washington Orlando I honestly think that you will see 5 vs 6 in the eastern conference finals with Chicago facing New Jersey. And in the West I think we will see a re match of the conference finals of last year with Phoneix and Dallas.
April 19, 200719 yr Sucks Chicago couldn't take care of business and get the #2, BUT considering they have lost to New Jersey 3 out of 4 times this year, Toronto playing as well as they are. I can live with the Bulls being at the top of the bracket. Miami is banged up and Detroit is beatable this year. Will be a tougher road, will be fun to see how it plays out.

Miami is pretty much at full strength now with having all their players playing at the same time for the first time this year...

Well with the way the bracket is in the East I definitely can see the Nets making the eastern confernce finals. The 3 best teams in the East IMO are on the same side of the bracket (Heat, Bulls, Pistons). So whoever comes out of the 2nd round matchup between the Pistons and whoever wins between the Heat and the Bulls, will make the NBA finals from East IMO....

April 19, 200719 yr Alright fine, wishful thinking on my part then. :lol: :thumb: The more I think about it, the more I believe who wins the Heat vs. Bulls series will end up making the NBA Finals...

April 19, 200719 yr I'm really looking forward to the New Jersey/Toronto series, just to see if Vince puts up 50 in one of the first two games in Toronto.
April 19, 200719 yr You guys are underestimating Toronto. They are a good team, they will handle Vince and co.
April 19, 200719 yr You guys are underestimating Toronto. They are a good team, they will handle Vince and co. That's why, as a Bulls fan, I don't mind avoiding them til later on in the playoffs. They are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now.
April 20, 200719 yr I think a lot are underestimating the Cavs. Lebron will carry that team to the conference finals.
April 20, 200719 yr I think a lot are underestimating the Cavs. Lebron will carry that team to the conference finals. They have the easiest path thats for sure.

April 20, 200719 yr I think a lot are underestimating the Cavs. Lebron will carry that team to the conference finals. Luckily the Bulls lost and their journey got much easier but I'm not sold on Lebron and his cast just yet.
