NBA Playoff picks

Might as well do this thread too, right?

I haven't thought about my picks though.

i'll go with the Lebrons to take it all, over the Lakers.

it's all just killing time until lebron vs. kobe. garnett and ginobili's injuries make the celtics and spurs -- really the only teams with a chance of beating the cavs or lakers -- irrelevant. i love the nuggets, but i can't fully trust a team with 'melo/k-mart/jr smith.

lebron-kobe in the finals should be epic, though.

I will be going to every Nuggets game.  I just hope the ghosts of Fat Lever, Alex English and McNichols can get them through to the Western finals where they will lose to the Lakers.  However, I think Portland has a slim chance of beating the Lakers in the semis as they have a tough time in Portland.  Well, at least I can hope.

Portland Trail Blazers and Lakers (don't like the team, but they have a guy from my city, Pau Gasol). My team has always been the Clippers though.

The NBA Finals games were the six highest-rated and most-watched programs so far in June, the first time that has happened in seven years.

Boston?s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers averaged a 9.3 rating for the series, up 50 percent over the 6.2 for San Antonio?s sweep of Cleveland last year. The Celtics? Game 6 clincher on Tuesday earned a 10.7 rating on ABC, averaging 16.9 million viewers over the course of the game.

Game 5, two nights earlier, averaged 17.4 million viewers.





The Philadelphia Phillies? five-game victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Fox drew record-low ratings. The series averaged an 8.4 rating and 14 share, the network said Thursday. That?s down 17 percent from the previous low, a 10.1 for the five-game Cardinals-Tigers series in 2006.

and my observation that someone who follows Pittsburgh teams would consider baseball a much less important sport is valid as well.  living in DC doesnt help with that either!
