SI: 2012 NBA Playoff "Experts" Predictions

[bbaker]

Ain't no love for Chicago. The 1st bracket made me laugh. 2012 NBA Playoffs Experts' Predictions - NBA - SI.com

Based on how the two teams finished out the year, it wasn't going to surprise me that many "experts" were going to pick a Boston upset. Frankly, Chicago matches up well against Boston, which is why I think it may be a good series, but the Bulls prevail.

I agree it'll be a good series (usually is), but (hopefully) age becomes a factor for Boston & the Bulls can get some off days before they have to face Miami in the ECF.

Britt was the only one to pretty much get it right. With the exception of the Spurs winning it all.

The one who made the first bracket must be fired. Seriously.

Then rehired only to be fired again.

Seeing that just makes me even more thankful that I cancelled my SI subscription years ago.

So Sports Illustrated also has a bias against the Bulls? Are they being objective?

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Spurs have a legitimate shot to win it all. They are deep at every positon and are much younger than they were over the past couple of years.

Duncan, Splitter
Blair, Diaw, Bonner
Leonard, Jackson
Ginobili, Green
Parker, Neal, Mills

And they have the best coach in the league.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

In fact, I'd say that there are a solid 5 teams with a chance to win it all in the West:
OKC, SAS, MEM, LAL, DAL. And DEN and LAC have a chance to do damage. The West is completely up-for-grabs while the East is ultimately going to MIA or CHI (or NYK, BOS, or IND if a miracle happened).

Please don't put words in my mouth.

Love the way they don't even give the Bulls a shot. That's fine, see you in June.

That's right I love how to the Bulls are the underdogs because it will make everyone look like fucking idiots.

Spurs-Bulls in the Finals. Spurs are a machine/the New England Patriots of the NBA. Don't sleep on them (even though they're style will put you to sleep).

Please don't put words in my mouth.

I didn't put words in your mouth...that would explain the question marks strategically placed at the end of each sentence. Way to avoid answering the question.

I agree.
I been said that along time ago and people laughed at me.

I'm always right about everything.
