Orlando doesn't make it, but has high hopes for next season. the real bummer is the state of the TWolves, with the spectre of KG being traded looming this summer. the Rockets just sucked, and the Jazz has officially been cursed by the presence of Booger, i mean Carlos Boozer.
and the hometown team? stuck with the second-worst record in the league. their lottery pick goes to Chicago. still saddled with salary albatrosses like Starbury and Not.Franchise. Isiah Thomas is still breathing. Larry Brown gets hospitalized. joy, joy, joy.
| EAST | WEST | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| DETROIT | MILWAUKEE | SAN ANTONIO | SACRAMENTO |
| Puh-leaze. Bucks lack the experience; they'll be lucky to win 1 game. They're even lucky to get into the playoffs with only 40 wins. On the opposite end is the 64-18 Pistons. Quo vadis, Larry Brown? | Will Ron-Ron's prediction come true? Will the Spurs survive a thin bench? Should the Kings move to Vegas? Will Tony Parker marry Eva Longoria? In Vegas? In a Maloof-owned hotel? Abangan. | ||
| MIAMI | CHICAGO | PHOENIX | L.A. LAKERS |
| If there's going to be a 1st-round upset, this is the one. Heat barely beat Da Bulls in 2 out of 3 regular season games. DWade needs to shine. Without stockings. | If there's going to be another 1st-round upset, this is the one. Phoenix is vulnerable without Amare, and you know the Black Mamba is waiting to prove everyone wrong. Everyone. | ||
| NEW JERSEY | INDIANA | DENVER | L.A. CLIPPERS |
| Pacers barely squeak into the playoffs, and will leave just as quickly. Expect Larry Bird to break up this crew soon. Damn Ron-Ron. The other half of the news is how far will the Nets go? Vinsanity rules! | The Clippers? In the playoffs. Better believe it. By quirk of new rules, Clips get homecourt advantage despite Nugs getting #3 seed. Imagine Sam-I-Am and Melo trading clutch baskets. OMG. | ||
| CLEVELAND | WASHINGTON | DALLAS | MEMPHIS |
| You want a shootout? You got a shootout. It will be King James' coming-out party, with Gilbert Arenas waiting to spoil it. I need to watch this series, dammit! Where's it on? Call the cable guys!!! | Torn between two teams. Reborn Spanish balla Pau Gasol and his Grizz can't hang with Dallas' firepower, but if Dirk Diggler goes down in any way, look out. AJ should be Coach of the Year. | ||
OK, next post about this will be after conclusion of each round. For now am putting my money (all 69 cents of it) on: Pistons, Heat, Nets and Cavs in the East, with the Spurs, Suns, Clippers and the Mavs moving up in the West.
Game Time.
