Not too much discussion, but they gave whatever reasons in the link. Short version:



Charles - East (Toronto); West (Golden State)

Kenny - East (Charlotte); West (Portland)

Shaq - East (Brooklyn); West (Memphis - if they get in)

I think Brooklyns play off hopes rest on one question. Will the NBA let them use wheelchairs on the court?

can't believe no one picked phoenix

[blacknapalm]

totally agree w/ charles. portand pick is good for kenny in the west. idk wtf shaq is smoking. do they drug test over there?

problem w/ toronto is i think they're too young and inexperienced. don't know how to play to their strengths. need jonas to run the floor hard and finish. love his skillset and i never thought he would be soft...but dude is too methodical in the post. just do it, you have the skill. i just think the east is so weak that it's easy for miami to come out of it.

also want to throw in houston...bev coming back in time, a fully healthy dwight + harden/parsons.....maybe throw in lin that has been playing a bit more recently. not sold on mchale as a complete coach but they have upset potential in a series going 7 games.

charles is an idiot for saying memphis could give SA trouble, then tried to back up his argument by saying they beat them as an 8th seed a few years ago.

did he forget SA swept them LAST YEAR ?

he's just in love with the old z-bo and it shows. they're just not the same team they've been the last couple seasons. he only took them to the semifinals so hey, that's not outrageous.

still, memphis has given trouble to SA in the recent past. 6-7 game series is realistic.

i really just hope the west wins. going through a gauntlet...while miami deals with an indy team that i feel is weaker than last season. toronto is nice but let's be real...not close to ready. that GM and casey has done some good stuff there and they should be happy w/ their season but they're looking at a 5 game series vs. miami

giving trouble doesn't mean they will win the series

giving trouble doesn't mean they will win the series

how much trouble is a team you swept that isnt any better than the year before?

you people cannot be serious the way you keep overrating the grizz

GSW/Portland are good picks

[Yankstar]

GSW/Portland are good picks

Portland are way overrated. I would pick the Suns, Mavs or Raptors to be more likely to make noise in the playoffs :no:

they are all good picks except charlotte tbh

I would have picked either them or Washington out East.

The only pick I disagree with is Shaq's pick of Brooklyn. Their not under the radar, it's the opposite with them. They have been hyped all year and are expected to make noise.

[mr.big35]

they dont get drug tested. I agree with charles pick

[Marlo_Stanfield]

If Beverley only plays 15 minutes per game, Houston might become VERy VERY dangerous.
then again Harden can chuck them out of any game in a matter of minutes and they have the worst Coach of the last ten years.
they match up well against SA doe:coleman:

I appreciate the update Woj. Keep letting us know what's up. I'll spread the word.

[Dr.J4ever]

I agree with Shaq about the Nets. They could be very dangerous. They are clearly not afraid of anybody.

I want to say Memphis, but I can't see them getting by SAS or the Thunder if they end up being the 7 or 8 seed.

nor do GSW, portland or memphis lol

[KyrieTheFuture]

Why is Shaq always wrong?
