Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

*Changing my picks from my original pre-playoff prediction... kinda*

Bulls in 7
Celtics in 7

I'm now slightly less confident in the Bulls' ability to start strong. I think they drop one in Chicago due to a sluggish start but come from behind to win the series.

Here are your expert picks:



And last year BOS/CLE (FWIW)





These "experts" don't know a damn thing.

I'm trying to pull up the Celtics Lakers 08 final. That was just as sad.

That's insane.

Re: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Second Round Discussion Thread

So how come Bulls-Hawks are going every other day up until Game 7* but yet Heat-Celtics get a 3 day break between Game 2 and 3? Please don't use that Travel BS Excuse either.

Anyway, my picks:

Bulls in 7
Celtics in 6

Nope. Skip gets paid to be an idiot so he knows what he is actually doing. Hollinger however....

Bayless is also actually capable of intelligent thought sometimes. He's pretty outlandish the majority of the time, however.

Gimme the C's and the Bulls. I don't think either series will go beyond six games, though I think Atlanta is plenty capable of taking Chicago to seven if-and-only-if Kirk Hinrich is healthy. Without Hinrich, I fear Rondo will have a field day.

I'm assuming you meant Rose right?


Gimme...

Bulls (4-2) over Atlanta

and

Celtics (4-3) over Miami

With a postgame comment of: "We are still a work in progress. The chemistry isn't quite there just yet".

If they lose, then they just lose to a better team. I'm tired of all the "WIP" comments when good teams lose. Just admit when you're whipped and move on to next year.

They are still a work in progress. Why aren't they a work in progress? The only teams that aren't in progress are Boston and LA. Chicago, Miami and OKC [although their team is complete they just need more seasons together] are still works in progress. A title for them this year would be an accomplishment ahead of schedule

Hinrich isn't that important. Joe Johnson will have the duty of holding Rose for the most part.
