I could make a joke but this is a gamecocks forum and people will call me a hater

So I'll remain quiet

I'm picking the higher seeded teams in 6 of the first round match-ups. For my exceptions, I'm going to predict that the Knicks upset the Heat (more depth and Melo present a match-up problem for Baby Bron Bron on the offensive end and Tyson wishes BBB would bring his baby back bitch ass to the post) and for the second year in a row, the Spurs lose despite being the number one overall team in the playoffs (Utah's frontcourt goes 4 deep and if you can turn Duncan into your 3 bit whore like Z-Bo did last year, he quits faster than a lottery winner).

My obvious pick to be the Finals match-up is the Bulls vs. Thunder. Since the obvious rarely happens, my two alternate picks are the Bulls-Grizzlies and Thunder-Pacers.

I only see 5 teams with a chance to win this thing and their odds are: Bulls &Thunder both at 40%, Pacers and Clippers at 7.5%, and Grizz at 5%.

I think the Knicks will give the Heat some trouble in the first round.

If Dirk gets hot, the Mavs could give the Thunder trouble.

Knicks-Heat what a great rivalry that was in the 90s
I'd like to see a brawl and Spoelstra hang on to someone's leg.

Get Van Gundy to do the call so he can run on the court and join in.

Hopefully Knicks will make it a competitive series. Could easily see Miami just blowing them off the floor for 4 games.

Biased but Dallas-OKC is the series I'm most excited about. Had the great series last year and every or nearly every time they played this year was a close game.

Just hope Harden is back and OKC can get it together after falling apart in some of the games during April.

O-K-C!

The Heat's "maintenance" program ran so long that I'm having trouble remembering what basketball looks like.

[cockaholic]

Memphis is a pretty solid team. Especially with Zebo back

I havent paid much attention at all to the regular season but WTF the Pacers are the 3 seed, ahead of Boston and Orlando??

Who is on that team?

They dont have any super stars (unless you call Danny Granger one)
But a well coached and disciplined team. They remind me of Wisconsin in College Basketball you're just like how the hell did they get here?

We should set up a bracket pool or something like that to pick who wins each series and in how many games
