I think your about right except after tonight's game I think Detroit will win the series. But it's still early and the Magic can bounce back, at least I want them to. As far as he Hawks are concerned, I think if they can beat Boston in game 7 then they have the POTENTIAL to beat any of the other teams and I think they would be quite deserving despite what their record in the regular season shows.

Not the fact that it was on ESPN and announced during the game, they called and told you. haha
Actually, I had sources at the AP that I have known for quite a while. regardless, the information was correct, was it not?

The playoffs start in a few hours, so let's hear all the "experts" here pick 'em.

Mine:

East:

Celts crush Hawks
Pistons get past 76ers
Magic edge Raptors
Wizards over Cavs (who have flopped since the big trades)

West (tougher; only 7 wins seperate the no1 seed from the no8; tha ...[text shortened]... stern Conference finals. Like the Suns to win the West. Think Boston wins the championship.
I find Bryant so unpleasant that I can't help but hope they lose, and I'm from LA. However I do like Phil.

In any case it's a bunch of mercenaries from everywhere in the country using my city's name for their own profit. Yehch.

A sigh of relief: my Celts smashed the Hawks in Game 7. That makes 6 right out of 8; according to RN I'm "batting" about .500.

Well he's probably going by the fact that you said the Celts would crush the Hawks(yes I agreed with you here also) and that you said the Nuggets may not be as easy for the Lakers as some people think. So from that standpoing yes you are batting .500 but as far as making correct predictions you are 6 of 8.

If you predict Big Brown would win by 10 lengths and it wins by five, they still pay you win money.

Yes yes I know. I"m just saying what he's probably thinking. I didn't say I agreed with it I"m just looking at his point of view.

You're giving him too much credit.

Jazz gave the Lakers a run yesterday; Kobe's ineffectual gunning in the 4th quarter almost blew the game (I esp. liked his airball at 2:45 to go). Of course, any time a Jazz player exhaled within 10 feet of him, he was going to the line.
