7. ATLANTA.................NEW ORLEANS
8. NEW JERSEY............DENVER
ROUND 1

BOST>ATL...................PHOE>NEW O
ORL >CHICAGO.............UTAH>HOUS
CLEVE> TOR................SPURS> LAKERS
ROUND 2
DETROIT>CAVS...........SPURS>MAVS

ECF............................WCF
DETROIT>BOSTON.........SPURS>UTAH
FINALS
DETROIT OVER SPURS
I will be watching Sunday very closely. There shouldnt even be a chat so we can all FOCUS on the game; rewind, pause, etc...Cause this will be the most diverse playoff in history. So the minutes u all desire now will be diminished come round 2.We arent playing the rookies to get them 'ready' for the playoffs. They are playing to get our starters 'ready' for the ECF's! So when the starters come out in the 2nd quarter for 8 minutes and for the 4th quarter for 4 minutes, we can have a +/- of at least 6. Because I truly believe the Pistons are 9 pts better than anyone in the East and 4 pts better than any team in the West.
tO lEE: iTS NOT IMPORTANT w-l WISE, BUT its important to test our strenghts and weaknesses. We know Shaq,Pt 4 as well as anyone, so we know we know we must attack him on offense and pretty much ignore him on defense. He'll tire HIMSELF out.
I worry about Stoudamire's game more. Sheed will be on him and Sheed hates high-octane guys.
Overall, Billups plays well against Nash, but I hope he doesnt get all 'ABC" on his teammates and not move the ball around.
I say"RELEASE THE HOUNDS" and let the Zoo CREW go ape on the Suns today. Remember, this is NOT a young Suns team: SHAQ IV and Hill are what ..60? Nash is in his 30's...Diaw is fat...bench, sans Barbaro, are weak.
Pistons like to prove a point(right, Milwaukee?)...115-102!!!!
