Pistons over Spurs... but, yeah, I'm pretty excited about this post season.
My Laker's are not in the playoffs so, fuck the defense and fundamentals! it makes for more exciting basketball. I WANNA SEE PHOENIX BLOW BY EVERYBODY. shawn marion will be sprinting down court like he was in the 100's (but still be taking ugly jumpers), steve nasty will be doing his thing with his long hair flailing all over the place, joe johnson will be killin' cats quietly, Amare will run through just about anything in the West; should be exciting for the Suns.
naw but seriously. The Heat are a definite contender. So are the Suns. But unfortunately, history has proven time and time again, that the defense gets tougher in the playoffs, and ultimately is what wins games.
This year, there is actually an elite east (however small that may be).
anyone can take it.
Which means... no Suns holding up the trophy. BANK ON IT. (Which is really too bad, because they're the team that's the most fun to watch.)
I have Phoenix (excuse the spelling error on the bracket) stomping past San Antonio and Dallas to reach the finals, on pure offensive firepower. I have Detroit nixing Miami and Boston on straight defensive tenacity, leaving them to face the Suns in the finals.
In that series, I'm going to have to give it to Detroit, because I just think they (we) have it in them (us) again this year.
Slow Down!
