  • First Round Impressions

    Just before the start of the playoffs I submitted my annual playoff predictions , in which I see the Celtics beating the Lakers in a classic Finals series. I still hold firm to that earlier prediction, but clearly some of my other first round picks were significantly off the mark. For starters, I thought...

  • 2007-2008 Playoff Predictions

    Each year I post my (insanely inaccurate) playoff predictions prior to the start of the postseason. I some rare circumstances my picks are spot on, but most of the time I take a gamble or two and end up blowing the whole postseason (like last year, I picked the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Detroit Pistons...

  • Midway Through the First Round...

    We're nearing the midway point of the first round of the NBA playoffs... let's see how my predictions are faring. Let's start with the East...

  • 2006-2007 Playoff Predictions

    Each year I post my playoff predictions before the start of the playoffs, from the first round through the Finals.

  • No Big Surprises in the Playoffs...

    No big surprises after the first couple of games in the playoffs. The "Contenders" - San Antonio, Detroit, Miami, and Dallas - all hold 2-0 leads. Some people pegged the Bulls or Grizz as the surprise teams, and while 2-0 isn't the same as 4-0, I can't fathom any of the "Contenders" dropping four of...

  • 2005-2006 Playoff Predictions

    Time for this year's insanely inaccurate playoff predictions! But before we begin, let's review my oracle skills from last season, when I made my 2004-2005 playoff predictions . My Eastern Conference picks were nearly perfect. I ended up picking all of the first round winners and did predict the Pistons...

  • The Resurgence of the Eastern Conference

    So it's playoff time again, and this year's playoffs look like they'll be one of the most even and exciting in quite a while. This year, IMO, has finally seen the resurgence of the East. Sure, last year we had some great teams in the East (notably Indiana & Detroit), but this year boasts even greater...
