it should be a sticky so we can see whos predictions end up true..... A few responses to some of the things people have said...... The jazz are older than dirt, and predictable, but they have injected new life w/harpring, he really sparks them, and Kirilenko. The blazers are talented enough to beat anyone as they proved on sunday with a win over the lakers, and this was a game that the lakers wanted badly to move up in the seeding. The east is too shifty to predict, so I will try and make my predictions for the west should the seedings as of today hold up....... 1st round: San Antonio over Phoenix, Sacramento over Utah, Los Angeles over Dallas, Portland over Minnesota

2nd round : San Antonio over Portland
Sacramento over Los Angeles
WCF: Sacramento over San Antonio

Now remember, dont flame me for this lol, its just my predictions/opinions, so we will see if they hold true over the course of the playoffs, and you guys should post your predictions too, I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Either way, IMO this will be the best postseason we have seen in a long time, probably the reason why the nba switched to 7 game series in the first round.
