I will stay in my predictions and say it will be Dallas
Of course I can be wrong but hey Its fair to dream ( Hey CP3 this is NOT your year :p  )
the other one I will give a hope is of course Phoenix.
but again I am usually wrong in this stuff.....

At least I am sure it wont be Atlanta  ;D

What do u all think.

I would be tempted to say Dallas but after what I've seen in the first two games of that series, I don't think they have a shot.  They can't stop Kidd and they aren't playing with any sense of urgency.

I think Phoenix going back home can get back into that series and make it interesting.  I also think that Toronto going back home are going into Game Three with some real confidence that they can play with the Magic. They had an excellent shot to win back on Tuesday night.

Tie between Phoenix & Toronto.

I'm saying Phoenix.  Both games have been very close, and I can easily see them winning the next two games.  Dallas appears cooked, and I don't have high expectations for Toronto.  Washington could get back in its series if Lebron comes back down to earth, as well.  If Butler and Jamison play like they're capable of, that could still become a series.

good topic

I'm tempted to say none of the above, but every year it looks that way and every year a team makes a big turnaround seemingly out of nowhere

some team is going to get a big boost out of returning home

I think I'd guess the Suns too

i think the most likely turnaround will be in that wiz-cavs series. i think phoenix is a long shot, but momentum can take them anywhere like when they were 3-1 down to la, but then again they had home court that year.

Washington definitely have the best chance

Mavs are out. Nuggets are out. Hawks are obviously out. Raptors can make a game of it but it's too large of an uphill battle for them to be able to get a win.

Suns are still very much in it

Denver.   


Just because it will be the best to see the Lakers as the number 1 seed to go out that way. 




Dallas has the best chance.  NO is lead by Paul in his first playoffs.  He has the most questions around him in terms of closing a series. 



I don't give Phoenix much of a chance.  I just don't think you can win 4 out 5 against the Spurs.  (much like I don't think you can 4 out of 5 against the Celtics now)

  • Yup
Phoenix.  I'd like to say Washington too, but they were manhandled pretty well the first two games.
Yup

The only team capable of doing that is Phoenix.

agreed on the phoenix part, but are you saying dallas don't have questions around them in terms of closing out a series?

I think all the 0-2 series has a shot at going 4-3 or 4-2. I just don't think there is even one of the 0-2 teams that are going to be on the winning end of the 4-3 or 4-2 series outcome.

Phoenix will get back into the series but I don't see them winning. Denver, that's laughable, they don't even know how to spell defense never mind play it. Houston, take them out of the oven, they're done. Dallas looks like a shadow of their former selves. And none of those teams play any D.

Atlanta, yeah right. Toronto, not with Howard putting up 20/20's and the rest of the team hitting J's on a consistent basis. And Washington is tough but ultimately seriously flawed, especially with Arenas thinking he can forget there are 4 other players on the court with him.

No way that the Celts series or the Jazz series is going any longer than 5 games, but more likely sweeps in 4.
As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.

I picked Dallas to win that series 4-2 anyways lol I dont see Dallas winning 4 ina row so I may be wrong But I dont think Dallas is done.

Phoenix on the other hand I dont know why but they are done, I dont see them getting back in it I see them splitting in Phoenix and Spurs win in 5.

Well I agree Utah and Boston seems like the only two teams sure
I will put my foot down to earth and accept I am wrong with Dallas
I just watched a recorded game, Kidd looks like CPs great grandfather
oh well
Hope Steve wakes up
After watching ur posts I remember I have 6 merlins beating one arthur
so I hope Caron and Antwan wake up too
Pls Arenas hurt a toe or something, that team is just better without u. ;)

Gotta go with the Wizards. They have played horribly so far this series and are down 1-2. If they play half decently like last night, they win by 36. That just goes to show how weak the Cavs are...
