The key to my series with the pistons looks like it will be Okafor.  In my 2 losses he has been ordinary, 15/8 in one, 16/12 in the other (shooting 32% in those games).  His new frontcourt has held Emeka in check.

I held them to a decent shooting %, and shot well as a team myself overall.  Turnovers will be key, as they handled me easily in that area in the regular season.

Watson did have a 14/1 assist to turnover ratio in the 3 games he played against the pistons.  

Stro went beserk the last time we played.  It'll be interesting to see if we can contain him a bit better.  And I've got to force nash into turnovers.  He averaged 11.6 assists/game in the games against me, only 2.3 turnovers.

Should be good.  And we're both terrific road teams.

The key to my series with the Nuggets is likely to be the combinations of Lamar Odom/Marko Jaric vs Ray Allen/MoPete.

My center combo of Foyle/Kaman can hopefully keep up with Camby/Strom.
As can my PF combo of Gasol/Cardinal vs.  Martin/Collison
And I think that Claxton may be able to guard Boykins, and that Billups is just a little ahead of Hinrich.

Of course, since Ray Allen is much better offensively then Lamar, I have problems...   Confused

Well, I think the Pistons will give the Nets all they bargin for, but I like the Nets to prevail because of Petit. Battier/Swift is an interesting matchup, a tale of two A defenders.

I like the Pacers to end the series quick over the Hornets. Marion and Artest is another great matchup, but the Hornets really don't have anyone to guard JO, unless Magloire is going over to PF.

I like the Suns over the Grizz too. The Grizz don't really have anyone to stop Vince/Kobe. Big Ben should dominate inside, but that isn't the Suns game anyway.

I also like the Nuggs over the Warriors. Camby is a defensive beast and should be able to help on Gasol, if Kmart runs into trouble, which he shouldnt. Warriors have no real answer for Billups/Ray either.

Indy's frontcourt defense is pretty intimidating. I switched my offensive focus, but they're a pretty stong defensive team all around.
O-Tag will play JO. Hopefully that height and size will neutralize JO a little.

I need Deng to come up big on defense and on offense. I predict the Pacers will win 4-2. If I had homecourt, I think I'd take the series.

Wow, 3 out of 4 lower seeds won.  There isn't a 1 or 2 seed leftt, and only 1 #3.

I don't think I've ever seen this many upsets.

Damn Hornets have a better win ratings now Sad

BTW, Hornets with a 69 win rating.  49 wins + 2 series wins at 10 pts a piece.  It looks like that is how it's determined.

Will the Hornets have enough to offer a max contract?

Actually, what do I care, you've got a win rating than me.

I think Shaq will resign for sure, so It's a matter of Yao. And that'll be between you and Rockets.

Too bad I couldn't drop that 3 mil in salary  Confused

I am pretty surprised I beat the Pacers. I think they had more players of the game in the series than I did. I guess I just had better depth. Great season Pacers.

I think I match up better with the Pistons, but again, I don't have home court.
