DaRizzle has Spoken!!!! Part II

You also had DENVER missing the playoffs.

I will give Rizz credit for picking 7 out of 8 playoff teams, and getting Phoenix not being in the playoffs right. Who knows, maybe Denver doesn't make the playoffs if it isn't for the Billups trade.

 

[Natebishop3]

I swear I made a prediction in one of these threads, but I can't seem to find it...

yup...I just felt their D would still be crap, Iverson was getting old, Nene wouldnt be good for a big, an ex-crack head wouldnt be 2nd in the league in blocks in only reserve minutes, they wouldnt trade for a Finals MVP point guard, Utah would be better, and all their scrubs wouldnt overpreform to some degree....other than that I was spot on

Sure, Utah has had injuries, but explain their complete meltdown to close out the season? They're healthy now.

None...Im baffled just like I think most are...they better not put it together in the first round...I would have much rather prefered the Mavs. We own them like they own you

Deron Williams is a good player, but this has to make people question his leadership abilities. Look at all the talent on that team, and yet they can't win. I think that's a reflection of his inability to get his teammates involved.

The Mavs own us because we can't guard their pick and roll. Never have.

 

[Minstrel]

I was planning on bumping this...."Nostra-dumbass"...wow, nice...

Well Im ok with my predictions...both the Jazz and especially the Clippers had dramatic injury issues. I said it before and Ill say it again...I didnt expect anything amazing from the Clips cause they had no bench but their healthy starting lineup was pretty damn decent.

The rest of my predictions could have easily been in my favor just as much as they arent right now. Two to three games difference and all of it is real close to how I predicted. How the hell am I supposed to know Utah and the Clips would have massive injury problems and Denver would trade for an NBA Finals MVP?!?

The part Im actually proud about is my PHX not making the playoffs prediction...I like how you failed to mention that. How many people said PHX, a team with Shaq and Nash, would miss the playoffs??? Very very few...

I like how you excuse your failures due to injuries and then tout getting Phoenix "right," when they suffered a massive injury themselves, losing Amare.

 

[DaRizzle]

alright people!!! where are your predictions huh??? I know we had some sort of thread like that besides me! Somebody find it!

I have to disagree. They have some unusually ego-centric players on that team (eg Boozer), and a real space cadet or 2 (EG AK47). If Sloan can't get through to those guys, how can Williams?

 

[andalusian]

and a real space cadet or 2 (EG AK47).

Maybe the space cadet's wife did not give him the freeby he is due this year - so he (and the Jazz) are spinning out of control?

 

[HOWIE]

I'd be interested to see if I posted playoff predictions, I have my win total prediction on my signature, but other than that I don't know if I posted playoff predictions.
