Post by: Thiradell on May 09, 2012, 10:59:27 am: I've been too busy to watch anything so far, but it does seem like a pretty dull affair. Just hopin the Thunder lose a game at some point.
Title: Re: NBA Playoff Preds
Post by: Ngamer on May 11, 2012, 06:18:22 pm: Round One is still undecided out West (Grizz will attempt to force a Game 7 with the Clips tonight, and Lakers/Nuggets Game 7 is tomorrow night). However due to the NBA's consistently dumb scheduling, R2 already gets underway with Celtics/Sixers tomorrow aft, so it's time to get those preds in! Your matchups are

Round Two
4 Boston Celtics vs 8 Philadelphia 76ers
2 Miami Heat vs 3 Indiana Pacers

1 San Antonio Spurs vs 4 Memphis Grizzlies OR 5 Los Angeles Clippers
2 Oklahoma City Thunder vs 3 Los Angeles Lakers OR 6 Denver Nuggets

I'm going to go with

Ng's a Crystal Baller
4 Boston Celtics over 8 Philadelphia 76ers in 5 games
2 Miami Heat over 3 Indiana Pacers in 6 games

1 San Antonio Spurs over 4 Memphis Grizzlies OR 5 Los Angeles Clippers in 7 games
2 Oklahoma City Thunder over 3 Los Angeles Lakers OR 6 Denver Nuggets in 6 games
