Conference Finals Predictions

stick them here....

the last round i predicted

Mia vs Was 4-1
Yes & No

Det vs Ind 4-2
Yes & Yes

SAS vs Sea 4-2
Yes & Yes

Phx vs Dal 4-1
Yes & No

picked all 4 winners, got 2 spot on.

now, the 4 best teams in the L battle it out.

Det vs Mia 4-3

SAS vs Phx 4-2

i'd say...

DET vs MIA 2-4

SAS vs PHO 3-4

Miami defeats Detroit in 6, Phoenix defeats San Antonio in 7.

1.) Miami Heat
2.) Detroit Pistons

This one will be interesting. I think Detroit has a shot considering they have one of they few bodies to put on Shaq (Ben Wallace). My immidiate reaction is to pick Miami because I want Detroit to lose really badly, but... Dwayne Wade has not faced a good shot blocking team, which Detroit is. I hope I'm wrong, but Detroit is going to have a shot at Defending their title.
Detroit in 7

1.) Phoenix Suns
2.) San Antonio Spurs

Boy, this one will be amazing. If Phoenix finds ways to run and makes these games high scoring, then they will win easily. Somehow though, I don't see San Antonio allowing that too often. This is a matchup of defense vs. offense. I'm rooting for Phoenix in this one, I would love to see them win, but unfortunatley again... San Antonio is more flexible in the way they play basketball. They can run (not as well as phoenix) but Phoenix will get absolutly creamed in a halfcourt game. Another fantastic series, but we are going to see a Detroit - San Antonio final.
San Antonio in 7

Detroit vs Miami 4-2

San Antoinio vs Phoenix 4-3

Spurs win 4-2
Pistons win 4-3

Pistons vs. Miami 4-3

Spurs vs. Phoenix 4-3

Woo hoo! I got all of my round two predictions spot on! Let's see if my good luck continues... *rolls dice*

Detroit beats Miami 4-2

San Antonio beats Phoenix 4-3

Ditroit vs. Miami 4-3

San Antonio vs. Phoenix 3-4 or the other way around 4-3......all i know is its going to game seven

Detroit-Miami 4-3
Phoenix-SAS 4-2

Detroit-Miami 3-4 miami wins (trust me)
Phonenix-San Antonio 4-3 then....
Phonenix- Miami 4-3 Phx wins

Miami - Detroit 4-3

San Antonio - Phoenix 4-2

Miami over Detroit 4-2
San Antonio over Phoenix 4-2

good thing about the Conf Finals is that it will seperate the master NLSC predictors from the rest.

ok my predictions

MIA vs. DET
well well well, miami being in red hot form but cos Shaq isnt entirely healthy, wade would hav to fire up but Detroit can shut them down with the defence so this is a hard one but someone is gonna win in 7 games, i think Detroit to win by 1 point in game 7

SAS vs. PHX
San Antonio, they've been to the championships, won it, Phoenix, they have Steve Nash and his crew will pump up the offence but san antonios defence might be a bit strong and not only they can defend, they can OFFEND too so Spurs in 6

Miami vs. Detroit
Miami wins 4-3
This should be an exciting series, with Shaq going up against the team that beat him last year. Detroits not going to lose easy, and Miami surely won't win 4 straight like in the other 2 series. Even though the Pistons can win in Miami, the Heat will be all business at home as they win game 7.

Phoenix vs. San Antonio
Phoenix wins 4-3
The Spurs have all the experience and should be able to cut down the points Steve Nash scores. However, he will go back to putting up more assist numbers as Phoenix wins it.

Miami vs. Detriot ---> Miami 4-3
Tough series to decide, especially with the uncertain status of Shaq. but I feel Miami has what it takes to win this series, its just going to take a little time since Shaq is not 100%
Phoenix vs. San Antonio---> Spurs 4-2
Suns will get tired with bown annoying them and duncan will be duncan. Depth will be the difference

Miami Heat vs. Detriot Pistons Miami 4-3
Odds are even... but, Detroit will win because of its' ferocious and tough defense. Raheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, and Antonio McDyess can handle Shaq Attack. Tayshaun Prince can lock-down Dwyne Wade, Rip Hamilton will tire his defenders for his non-stop running, moves.

Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs Spurs 4-2
I hate to admit it... even though I'm rooting for Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs will eclipse the Suns. Depth of bench, championship experience, tough defense, and Tim Duncan.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons
Top defensive teams slugging each other, both were NBA champions, both have deep benches. Its anybody's ballgame and its going to be a tough and 7 game series. If Detroit can contain Duncan, Pistons will win in game 7.

(PHX vs SA) San Antonio wins 4-1
(MIA vs DET) Detroit wins 4-2

San Antonio in 6
Miami in 7

I thought I had already posted in here, maybe I posted in the series threads instead.

Spurs in 5 or 6

if Shaq cant play i got the Pistons in 6

if Shaq plays Miami should win in 7 games

When did Detroit develop a bench for the 2005 season?

^
Antonio McDyess?
Traded for Carlos Arroyo, and Lindsey Hunter was there from last season...

Phoenix sucks so far against San An.

They haven't sucked. It's just that San Antonio is outplaying them.
