I’m out early because the residents are at an all day meeting. I’m sorry I haven’t been contributing lately. Trust me, I will have more to write about as soon as I start doing something other than OB/GYN.
The NBA playoffs start this Saturday and I’m pumped. So here are my thoughts on how the 2006 Playoffs will go. Eastern Conference today, tomorrow the Western Conference.
First Round:
Milwaukee v. Detroit – The Pistons actually struggled against the Bucks this year. Yes the ‘Stones were 3-1 against the Bucks with the only loss coming in the last week of the season when Detroit played their reserves, but Detroit still had to overcome large deficits to win those games. Michael Redd always plays well against the Pistons and Charlie Bell could be a factor backing up TJ Ford. The Bucks speed and perimeter shooting will get them a win, but that’s it. Pistons in five.
Washington v. Cleveland – Last year the Wizards were the five seed and surprised the Baby Bulls winning the series in six games. The 50 year-old phenom LeBron James enters the playoffs for the first time and will get his double-doubles and a triple-double in this series. It will be a long, up and down, entertaining match-up. The Cavs should squeak this out in seven games.
Indiana v. New Jersey – The Nets are hot. Indiana is not. This will be a fast series. Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson will dominate on the wings and open up the inside for Nenad Kristic. The Nets sweep the Pacers, but Jason Kidd is still a wife-beating douche.
Chicago v. Miami – This is the most likely upset. Miami is a good team, but that’s it. Shaq is old and it only took the official fourteen years to realize that all his moves in the post are actually fouls. I like Shaq, but since his speed has decreased he uses his ass and elbows too much for position. Dwayne Wade will fall down at least 50 times in each game and about 4 or 5 will actually be fouls. Although Chicago will protect it’s home court, winning game seven in Miami will be too much and it probably won’t get that far. Miami in six.
Second Round:
Cleveland v. Detroit – BronBron loves Detroit. Ilauskas hates the Pistons…or just Sheed. The hatred stems back to an incident in which Sheed elbowed the bald giant Ilgauskas in the head. But R. Wallace said, “"I'm not going to start the game by cracking a cat in the skull if I don't get elbowed first.” True. The Cavs play the Pistons tough. However, Cleveland can’t win at the Palace. Cleveland will win game three, but lose the series in five.
New Jersey v. Miami – So long Wade and Shaq. New Jersey can and will win this series. Kidd will use his douche-bag point guard powers and lead an attack that steals a game in Miami. Then the Nets will protect home court and win in six.
Eastern Conference Finals:
New Jersey v. Detroit – These two teams don’t like each other. Richard Jefferson blames the Pistons for his broken wrist last year. Whatever. He’s a baby, but loves playing against Detroit. Carter and Jefferson will pose match-up problems for Rip and Tayshaun and the Nets are one of three teams to beat Detroit at the Palace this season. However, Rip will run Jefferson into the ground and Chauncey is a better point guard than Kidd. Sheed should dominate Kristic. Jay-Z will still be big-pimpin’, Jefferson will cry, Carter will complain of back pain and Jason Kidd will beat his wife. The Nets will get one in Detroit and then the Pistons will return the favor and win game six at Continental Arena for their third straight Eastern Conference Championship.

nice to have you back- i think you just wanted an excuse to use the sheed quote. -c
yes. it's one of my favorites.
Word Word wor wor wor wor word!
Good to hear that a vagaina that just birthed a child didn't eat you alive.
Andy, I doubt Charlie Bell will have much of an impact on the series. I guess you're just looking out for your boy, though...
I would think the Nets would match Carter up with Rip. They both play the off guard. Otherwise, Carter would be D-ing up Tayshaun, which would be a matchup nightmare for the Jay-Z's.
yeah, but i've seen jefferson guard rip b/c carter can be too much of a liability on defense. he's a lazy defender. i would prefer carter, but i thought the last time i watched these two play jefferson was switching to rip.
as for c-bell....of course i'm looking out for my boy. he's an under-rated player. he doesn't have great speed, but defensively he is solid and he can score if asked to. i don't mean he will be a factor as much as other reserves, but every team has one bench player that has one or two games where they explode and play well. mike james had some. and that's how damon jones has made his career in the nba. but mostly i'm looking out for my boy. flint-town!
