TrueYankee26 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 2010 NBA Finals I'm picking the Cavs over the Mavs in 5!!!gotta get some good production outta the role players like Mo williams if the cavs hope to win it. He can't disappear like the ECF against the Magic. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Pretty much. One of the reasons why they got whupped by Orlando last year (aside from the fact that Dwight Howard ran roughshod all over them) was the fact that Mo Williams talked a LOT of but was invisible. Hopefully for the Cavs' sake he just shuts up & produces this year. Also, the series I'm gonna be really paying attention to (aside from the Hawks taking on probably [and hopefully, idk if I can stand another Hawks/Heat playoff series] the Bucks) will be the Lakers & Thunder. That is gonna be wild, I can't wait for that.But yeah, the West playoffs are gonna be exciting in general. If everything goes as planned in the East, things may not get interesting until the 2nd round.I still think Orlando's the best team in the East. The Cavs have shown a tendency to not show up for big games, the Celtics are old and fading quickly (despite the fact that they still have some fight left in them), and the Hawks are just too damn inconsistent & all of a sudden getting hit with an injury bug.

TrueYankee26 Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 And the Hawks need to win on the road too, they struggle away from home lately. Elite teams like the Cavs, Magic, Lakers win games on the road. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 And the Hawks need to win on the road too, they struggle away from home lately. Elite teams like the Cavs, Magic, Lakers win games on the road.'zactly. The Hawks at home can beat absolutely anybody in the NBA. On the road, they're still just good-to-mediocre. You'd think that'd be fixed by now in the Woodson regime, but eh. Maybe if they stay together for a year or 2 more (not Bibby, he's gotta be gone after next season & who knows whether or not Joe Johnson will stay), but right now it still befuddles me as to how this team can run over the Lakers at home one night, then get dumptrucked by the Bobcats in Charlotte the next night.

TFoA Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Miami beats the Nets in 2OT (!?!?!?!?!), they earn a trip to Boston. Milwaukee, as expected, will be coming to Atlanta for Round 1. Pretty sure the entire bracket is set now, schedule will be released around 2 A.M. EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd strangle Vinny, and only after considerable deliberation would his assistant coaches intervene on his behalf. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
