I know conventional wisdom states that you ride with the champ until the champ is upended, however, I do not see the Pistons winning the East. The Heat seems focused and they are probably one of the most complete teams in the league. You all may be correct with the Spurs being there, but don't sleep on the Suns.

Thanks, MTO! And, so far you are right on the money about Duncan's health. I only saw the first half, but he was clearly hobbled.

J,

Thanks for posting a comment!

I guess both King, and I were going for some spice to
our picks... like how I got Memphis taking out Phoenix
in the 1st round... ya never know...

...and that goes the same for the Mavs in the Finals.

What up!

I just got your comments on our picks. Thanks for posting.

I am not sleeping on the Heat at all... it's just that Detroit had won 11 in a row going into the playoffs, and they have offensive power in every position, and I don't mean just spot-up shooters... guys who can create their own shot -

---Miami only has 2 such players (E. Jones and D. Wade), unless you want to include Kenyon Dooling.

I am looking forward to that matchup...
