no, maybe a little homerish, but i definitly think it's possible. the whole playoffs is a toss up right now, there's not really one team besides maybe boston that has a real advantage. why would i not pick my team when it's that close?

i agree the western playoffs are close, but thats limited to the top 6 teams IMO

so you're telling me the Rockets have a better chance at making the finals than the Mavericks?
what is with you people and thinking that theres a fucking ocean between #6 and the rest of the seeds out there. there's like a 3 game difference, it's not that much. The Nuggets may not be strong enough to beat anyone in a 7 game series, but they have a real shot against at least 2 or 3 teams. Dallas can beat any team in the playoffs in a 7 game series, if you think this team can't then you're fucking crazy. I'm not saying they're going to, but they are more than capable of doing it.
and why are the only people challenging me about my opinions the freaking lakers fans? It's ok guys, don't listen to me, the lakers are going to sweep their way to the championship.

yes i really do. they play utah in the 1st round. and i believe they have home court advantage since they have the better record. and we all know utah isnt the greatest road team..... then the rockets will play the lakers, who they took the season series from, so they definitely have a chance at beating the lakers. then they play whoever makes it out of the other half of the bracket and who knows what will happent hen, but dallas has to get through the hornets, THEN the winner of suns/spurs. i think that road is much tougher than the rockets road. but of course the rockets wont get past the 1st round because they have mcgrady.

haha understood. i'm about ready to pull up the NHL prediction thread and recall all the people who laughed at me when i had the Stars going to the Cup Finals. (not that it's happend yet, but we're still closer than anyone would have thought)
who would have thought you'd be up 3-0 on the sharks with a home game to play to try for the sweep
you can use the chuck norris gif because i think i had the ducks winning it all lol
