Re: 2014 Eastern Conference Playoffs -1st Round Discussion Thread

We'll see how aggressive DeRozan is.. He seems, to me, to often play like Paul George. Which means settles for too many jumpers when he's a monster at attacking the rim. Idk if Joe or Pierce can really stay in front of him all game long if he's attacking.. Livingston can, but that leaves a slower rotation trying to cover Ross.. I think this will go 6 or 7 with neither team being a surprise.. But with how the Nets have played lately they should be pretty tough throughout the playoffs.

It'll be interesting to see how KG's likely boost in minutes effects the rotations.. The small ball has been working, and Plums has been good in help defense.. You gotta play KG, but you also don't want to fix something that isn't broken.

Not a single one of you picked the Raptors? (Raptor fan don't count). Interesting.

If Amir Johnson didn't have the ankle injury I'd be more confident in this, but ill take Toronto in 7. Really a coinflip series though.

I like Washington too, but Thibs vs Wittman is as uneven as a coaching matchup gets. Chicago in 6. Good series there as well, though.

Miami/Indy easy.

You consider the nets beating Torronto an upset? Their record is pretty deceptive considering the awfull nets start.

No, I think you're confused. I'm just going by the technical seeding

The way the Nets have been playing lately is .500 ball. It's a close series to call no doubt though

I'm ready for this! Just to see the commentary on here. Pack and Rap fans, don't disappoint

Lowry might introduce himself to the mainstream, he's going to need to

Just waiting for this Pack/Raps thing to jump off officially. This will be the highlight of day 1 for me.

Every time I read Packs posts I keep hearing The Real Americans theme at this point...

I'm surprised that no one the Hollywood Rock heel promo in Toronto yet.

Toronto winning this series wouldn't be a surprise but it's hard to pick against Brooklyn experience in a series like this. For a lot of their guys, they know that they don't have many chances left so I expect a high level of focus from them.

This series or the Bulls Wiz series will probably go the opposite of what I think like the Denver Golden State matchup did.
