Comment on the article. :)

Looks like some of your predictions were wrong, but I agree with you on picking the Lakers over the Thunder in six games, and picking them to win it all, of course.

I did alright, I think.

Cavs over Bulls in 4 = 1 game off.
I initially had them in 5, but I changed it. Stupid me.

Magic over Bobcats in 5 = 1 game off

Hawks over Bucks in 5 = Wow, I'm stupid. I should have known better than to put my faith in the Hawks. Series isn't over yet though.

Celtics over Heat in 7 = I got the right winner, but I guess the Heat's little run at the end of the season and the Celtics struggle weren't much of an indicator of things to come.

Lakers over Thunder in 6 = correct.

Spurs over Mavs in 6 = correct.

Suns over Blazers in 5 = 1 game off, but I also didn't think Roy would come back.

Nuggets over Jazz in 6 = I can't believe this is happening. I don't think anybody predicted the Jazz to win except Hollinger. Even Jazz fans probably gave up before the series started.

You did fine. Some of my predictions were wrong, too. A fair number of surprises in the first round this year. Jazz-Nuggets definitely threw a lot of people for a loop (and I'm one of them).

As much as I hate to say/see it I think were looking at the Spurs next round

That depends on what they do at home. If they only split, they'll be down 3-1 and done. If they win both, I think they'll have to win Game 5 in Phoenix and close it out in SA, since they don't have HCA. Otherwise, I see the Suns advancing to the WCF to meet the Lakers, where they'll be destroyed.

haha Im watching this game right now and the way that Dragic is playing right now it does look like the suns are gonna be playing the lakers in the next round... So what was that statistic with people that go down 3-0 in the series... o yea no one has ever came back from a series down 0-3... I take back my statement earlier... I forgot how old the spurs are nowadays...

I didn't think the Spurs would be swept, but now it looks like the Suns will get out the brooms, or win in five at the most, if SA manages to find a solution to Dragic (which I doubt). Bye-bye, Spurs.

So far for me so good I only missed the Utah/Denver series.

as someone who is commenting in the conference finals, i will say that is a good job. No one expected LeBron to tank it

Where does lebron go from here? opinions?
