NBA Playoffs - Your Picks? - GoFuckYourself.com

Big Easy · 04-12-2002, 09:36 AM

Okay, it's getting down to the wire...

EASTERN W L PCT GB
1 y New Jersey 51 28 .646 -
2 y Detroit 47 31 .603 3 ½
3 x Boston 46 33 .582 5
4 x Orlando 43 35 .551 7 ½
5 Philadelphia 41 37 .526 9 ½
6 Charlotte 41 37 .526 9 ½
7 Milwaukee 39 39 .500 11 ½
8 Toronto 39 39 .500 11 ½
9 Indiana 38 40 .487 12 ½
10 Washington 36 43 .456 15

WESTERN W L PCT GB
1 x Sacramento 59 19 .756 -
2 x San Antonio 54 24 .692 5
3 x LA Lakers 56 23 .709 3 ½
4 x Dallas 54 24 .692 5
5 x Minnesota 48 31 .608 11 ½
6 x Portland 46 33 .582 13 ½
7 x Seattle 44 35 .557 15 ½
8 x Utah 43 36 .544 16 ½

Who's going to beat who and why?

Here's mine for the west: Sacramento will beat Utah in 4. San Antonio will end up playing Seattle and take 'em in 5. LA will beat Portland in 5. The Mavericks will beat Minnesota in 3.

Sacramento will end up beating the Lakers in the Western Championship 4-3 and eventually end up getting their FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP by defeating the Nets. The WHY is that the Kings in fucking on a roll and it's going to spill into the playoffs big time. They are peaking at the right time and now have the talent and ability to go all the way. The Lakers series won't be easy, but it will come down to their home court advantage. Even though LA will never admit it, they freaking HATE playing at Arco.

What are your picks?

Wizzo · 04-12-2002, 09:41 AM

I like your picks, the only change might be the Mavs beating the Lakers in the second round...but the KINGS will win the big prize!!

TDF · 04-12-2002, 09:43 AM

The Lakers all the way...the league still doesnt know how to stop the triangle offense plus Shaq is too much for the league. Kobe is really gonna turn it on in the playoffs and "Will Smith"Rober Horry is gonna hit big shot after shot...any team who comes out of the Least will be swept 4-0

DX · 04-12-2002, 09:48 AM

Lakers vs. Boston in the finals.

Boston in 7.

RaGe · 04-12-2002, 09:54 AM

Sacramento over New Jersey in 6

jreaka · 04-12-2002, 09:55 AM

Dallas vs. Philly...................... Mavs. in 6

I haved to agree with Wizzo here.

I think if my boys stay healthy and Nowitsky's knee heals we can take it that far.

However with that being said I do not think it is the Maverick's year this year...but I hope I'm wrong

Big Easy · 04-12-2002, 10:26 AM

Wizzo,

Yeah, I think Dallas could beat LA if everyone is healthy and Nash gets on fire late in the series.

I'd like to see Boston make it to the championship game, but they are going to have to reach fucking deeeeeeeeeep.

Go NETS!!!! All The way!

TDF · 04-12-2002, 11:12 AM

come on you guys...whoc an really beat the lakers in 7?? noone can honestly ebat the lakers in seven...they own all the rest of the west mentally..San Antonio is scared,dallas is too much offense and no D,and Sac is the only team who can challenge the lakers..kobe and shaq are the best playoff players in the league...it just might be Fo,Fo,FO!!

Big Easy · 04-12-2002, 11:41 AM

Toodamnfli,

I respect your point about the Lakers... however here's my take:

1. They won't always be the NBA champions.
2. They are not as good this year as last.
3. The Kings are w/o question much improved from '01.
4. Shaq ain't 100%
5. Webber is healthy and has found his jumper.
6. The Kings can play defense when they have to.

What DOES scare me about LA is fucking Kobe... and a healthy Shaq.

Watch out for my Raptors to sneak into the playoffs. From there, hold on for your life. Anybody can win the east....even without Vince Carter.

qube70 · 04-12-2002, 02:47 PM

As much as it pains me to say it....
the Lakers will probably rise to the occasion and take it all again.
Shaq is just too much, even when he's not 100%.
I would absolutely love to be wrong about this....
Go anybody but LA!!

Keev · 04-12-2002, 03:21 PM

Love the competition of the teams these days but my Loyalty stays with the Lakers...... I would love a good old Lakers vs Celtics finals that would be great

Pete · 04-12-2002, 03:39 PM

Raptors to go all the way!

boneprone · 04-12-2002, 03:41 PM

Canada? Haa! Good one!

Maybe the CBA, but NEVER the NBA.

boneprone · 04-12-2002, 03:41 PM

stick with sports like cricket and Hockey.

Eric · 04-12-2002, 04:01 PM

I all honesty. Big Easy is right. Sac is peaking at the right time and they are very healthy. Here is the problem. They are now going into the playoffs. Lately they have not only been beating teams but they have been humiliating them. That is not a good thing to do night after night. It looks bad and when it comes crunch time. The teams that can will Complete demoralize you. My pick... as we all know it will come down to the West. No one in the East has the power to keep up with even the Jazz this year. What will be the determining factor???

The last game of the season. Lakers vs Kings in LA. If the Kings can prove on the last day of the season that they can go into LA and beat the Lakers they will have a serious advantage, not only in their display of skillz but also psychologically. If they are torn apart and ripped to shreads in LA they will remember that come crunch time. And then the one point loss in Sac will creap into their minds and they will fall apart from the inside out.

Either way... It should be fun to watch!!!

boneprone · 04-12-2002, 04:04 PM

you front runners are all full of shit.

Watch my Blazers show you how the game is played come playoff time.

Lakers on gone in the first round

TDF · 04-12-2002, 04:23 PM

Blazers suck ass...just because they got hot in the 2nd half of the season doenst mean shit. Shaq WILL be healthy and if he isnt he will will himself to the finals...the road to the finals still has to come through LA and no team will beat the lakers in 5..let alone 7!!
