NBA Playoff picks

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

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.

[BookerT]

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.

epicly vomit inducing

i'm going to go with kobe over the magic, just to be different and because i refuse to pick crab dribble to win it all

[vansmack]

People still watch the NBA?  Hmm, who knew...

[Lazer Guided Melodies]

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.

[godsshoeshine]

 i think your observation was just as invalid! so there.

  I'm calling for a Celtics repeat, btw.

kg might not play the whole playoffs. cant see them winning 2 series without him

nba finals did a better rating than the world series last year. perfectly valid observation

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

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!
