Around the League - Playoff Edition
Normally, it'd be a first rd watch, but you know. So, with 19 games left, this is where it stands...
With it ever changing, I'll post a reply with an update as I see fit.

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
2-4 days is fine lol. Only 19 games left, so if I did weekly, there would be no point.
The way it is now, with these matchups is kinda how I want it to end if things stay this way.
I want the Lakers to play GS and their frenetic style, SA to play Dallas (be a tough series), and Suns to play Houston, despite their 18 game win streak and how well they've played. I could change my mind judging the next time we play the Rockets though haha.

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
Exactly what i thought Diss. But ideally we would like home court, so it will be a different combination probably by the end. We want all our opponents coming into tough 6-7 game series, and if we stay relatively fresher, it will be great for Nash, Shaq and Hill.

I agree. I have a feeling though that the Rockets will eventually come back down to earth and I predict we'll end up with:
1. LAL
2. SAS
3. NOH
4. UTA
5. HOU
6. DAL or PHX
7. PHX or DAL
8. DEN or GSW

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
The Jazz have the easiest schedule of the week. Guys I really dont know wich team Id prefer the Suns to face in the first round, they are all scary. That said, if the Suns finish in the 5th seed we could face the Jazz with the homecourt advantage, although I still belive they can get a higher pick.

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
Suns can grab first place in the West again if they win out on their schedule... Lakers are in a bit of bind because of Gasol getting hurt and the Hornets are a bit inconsistent of late. Also, I think the Rockets' streak is going to end this week with that schedule of theirs.

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
The weekend went exactly as I had hoped. Now it's time to make our move. Not only is the Rockets' streak going to end this week, but they could lose 4 straight and drop down to number 4 or 5. I hope they at least beat the Hornets and maintain their lead in the Southwest.
We have a good chance of over taking the Lakers and moving inside the top 4. In fact, I believe we're at a level now where we could win all our games this week and find ourselves at number one again.
It's going to be an interesting week, to say the least.

LOL! No way!
I was watching some of that game, thinking "How are the Celtics so good, and play like this?"

Re: Playoff Watch Thread
They were also without Ray Allen in that game lol.
C's are the best team in the NBA. And adding Cassell just might give em that extra edge.
