RETRO: 06 playoff problems

SO Dallas finally overcame San Antonio. They're playing pretty tough, and like I said, this was the real conference finals and they should move on easily. The Suns might be thinking upset, but they had a big fight on their own hands. Sad to see the Clippers miss a rare, rare, chance to make it far. Anyway, I'll call Dallas in six, because Phoenix has enough energy to keep it close. But not win.

In the East, I really wanted to see LeBron do the impossible, and he came SOOOOOOOO close. But it's another Pistons-Heat matchup, and I called them over Miami in seven games. After that Cavs series, Detroit looks very vulernable, and Miami took it to New Jersey after a strange opening game. I think the Heat can do it, but Detroit still turns it on when they need to, so I'll stick with them in seven. I'd like to see Mavs vs. Heat, for something new, but Pistons-Suns would be an interesting clash of styles.

I say Detroit over Dallas in seven, but I'm not rooting for it.

Oh, and I did get the NBA first round right, though those Flakers gave me a scare. I'll stay with what I have, though I really want to see the Clippers in the conference finals, and the Nets suddenly put it together.

I really don’t know how the Suns can be struggling so much. Let Kobe score 50 if it means shutting everyone else down. They can outscore the Lakers any day. What a waste. And the Heat and Nets (and even Spurs) should not be struggling like that. No one has really looked that great so far.
