Re: NBA Regular Season Thread
Garnett, who's played 4 games in 2 months, may be out of the playoffs. If that's the case, their chances of repeating go down dramatically ... I don't like the Cs much (sorry D), so would rather see Howard & co (or LeBron and co) make a run at the West's candidate.

Re: NBA Regular Season Thread
I think this will be a great playoffs in the West - I expect many upsets. I just hope the Mavs can go as far as you say, and then be a 'bit' tougher for the Lakers.

I think Dallas has a very good chance against the Spurs now that Ginobili is out and Duncan is not 100%.

I expect you to win this series, Avy - The Mavs have been playing well, and the Spurs are old, tired and decimated by injury.
Of course, you can never under-estimate the fight in San Antonio, but Dallas should prevail.
After that, I think they're in trouble...

Spurs in 5, then out in 5 in the next round, no matter who they play.
I wish it was 3 or 4 years ago when we were young.

Re: NBA Regular Season Thread
Mavs beat the Spurs in game one, a big game considering we're now 1-9 in our last 10 road games in the playoffs. Good start.
Boston lost to Chicago by 2 in OT ... Without KG, this team will need a few miracles to repeat.

I still think Boston will get past the Bulls, but it'll go all the way to Game 7.

Re: NBA Regular Season Thread
I change my prediction Spurs are gone in 6, as much as it breaks my heart. looks like I'll be pulling for Cleveland the rest of the way.
