Bucks in 7

Really? Without Bogut? If they had Bogut, I could see either team winning the series.

Yes. Really.

 

[RoyToy]

I love all the Blazers winning predictions, but isn't anyone just a little bit worried about the fact that Roy might not play?

Maybe it's just me, idk. That's kind of a big deal.

 

[Minstrel]

Yes. Really.

I guess I was wondering why. Don't think Bogut matters? Or that they're so much better than the Hawks that they can lose one of their best players and still win?

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Wow...u guys all picked PDX??

lol

 

[Rhal]

Cavs over Bulls in 5
Orlando over Bobasts in 4
Hawks over Bucks in 5
Boston over Heat in 5

Lakers over OKC in 6
Spurs over Dallas in 7
Blazers over Suns in 5
Utah over Denver in 6

No clue why I don't think any of the east will go past 5 games. Just seems so lopsided to me, could be wrong it is palyoff basketball and everyone will leave everything on the court.

 

[illmatic99]

There's a reason we all wanted the Suns in the first round-- check the previous polls. We match up amazingly well with them (with or without Brandon).

He definitely matters. But look at their record since he went down. Not much of a dropoff. I think Skiles will outcoach Woodson in a series, and I like their chances if they can get it to a seventh game. Salmons has been great for them, Stackhouse is gonna be stoked to be back in the playoffs.

And nobody put a gun to my head when making this prediction, so why not?
