They are finally here: Eastern Conference Playoffs - Bracket Watch and Who Ya Got ?

[The Great One]

Lol, caught this. Take that Boston!

This tells me that Steve Smith actually watches the games. Not like the guys on TNT(Shaq, Chuck and Kenny) or ESPN where they just keeps hyping up the Celtics and the Wizards as the team that would give the Cavs the most trouble.

I need a transcript of what was said. Can't listen while at work

"I know lots about basketball"
"so do i"
"no you dont"
"screw you"

My English isn't the greatest so that's a rough translation

Celtics are the worst first seed in history. Its going to be fun watching jimmy g buckets shut down the midget and D-wade living at the line hehe

What's Wade's official status? Will he be playing?

Come on Bulls! Start a new curse on the Celtics like they did to us!!!

[planetmars]

So glad we're not playing the Bulls in the first round. They have no 3pt shooting but Butler can go off.. and Rondo is a lot better than he was early in the season. He can steal a game for them just by picking a part the Celtics defense.

I believe Wade is back too.

It's too bad they traded Taj and McBuckets.. both those guys would have helped against a series like this.

[A.I]

Celtics and Bulls is going to be a tough one. Isaiah will be defended by Rondo and most likely Butler at times. I do hope they lose but I think they'll win in 6 or 7 in a competitive series.

Raps, Cavs, Hawks, Celtics

[007]

I so want Boston to lose to Chicago, but I'm picking all four higher seeds to advance, Raps-Wizards in the conference finals with the Raptors making the finals because blind homerism.

Then we get beat in 5 by Golden State

[octothorp]

Yeah, I went with the prevailing wisdom on the Bulls upsetting the Celts. I think Raptors win in 5 or 6, Cavs and Wizards win in 6 or 7, and Bulls/Celts will be a game 7 tossup. Bulls' bruising, physical style of play, and swarming offensive rebounding is going to be really tough for the Celtics, and Butler defending Thomas for stretches could be a huge issue. A lot will come down to the Celtics' supporting cast being able to score, and I just don't think they have the pieces. That said, I do think Stevens is the better coach in this series, but that roster has big weaknesses that are hard to cover.

[KeonClark]

Just for kicks, I'm taking two upsets. The Hawks could beat the Wizards - the Wiz have cooled off of late, and if the Hawks catch fire...

And I'm picking the Bulls to beat the Celtics because that would be DELICIOUS.

I think the LeBrons get out of round one.

Ballsy.
