    I like Memphis in the West.
    Who could have ever foreseen the impact that injuries have had on this playoff. The Heat may yet lose to the Pacers, which wouldn't bother me one bit. The Spurs are the team that is looking nearly unstoppable.

    Ditto. Now that my Lakers look like they're done, I'm thinking Philadelphia right now. Friday night's win was gorgeous.....I just hope they can bring that attitude with them back to Boston tomorrow night.

    Spurs all the way! They've cruised through the playoffs so far, but the conference finals aren't going to be so easy. I think OKC will take the Lakers, but this playoffs have been so odd this year, there's NO telling what'll happen. In the end, I think it'll be Spurs V. OKC and Miami V. Boston. Fingers crossed it boils down to a Spurs/Celtics final matchup.

    I'm fairly certain of your Western matchups, but I think it's quite plausible that we'll see a Pacers/76ers Eastern Conference championship. The Heat simply don't know how to win a playoff series. The Pacers are lucky to even BE in the playoffs, and Miami is having trouble putting them away? It's more likely that Boston will win over Philadelphia, but if Garnett decides not to show up again, they're in some trouble.

    I'm guessing we're going to see San Antonio in the finals, but it's still too close in the East to guess as to who's going to take the conference.

    True...this playoffs has been so unpredictable, I love it. Pacers putting up this much of a fight? Did not see that coming... One thing is certain though, Stern is hoping that either Miami or Boston will make it... because if it's Spurs/Pacers in the Finals it'll be the least watched finals EVER. Regardless of what happens, it's an exciting time to be a Spurs fan.

    I'm pulling for the Pacers to beat the Heat as well. Stephan A. Smith and Skip Bayless were talking about the OKC / Spurs Western Conference Finals, and said it would be better than the actual finals, which I believe is true. That's going to be a hard fought playoff series. I'm partial to the Thunder, because of them previously being the SuperSonics. Should he a great match-up, but I'm scared of how deep the Spurs are!

    Can't wait. I love the Playoffs.

    Pacers lucky to be in playoffs? A 3 seed might be lucky but there has to be some talent as well to have the third best record in the conference.

    Holy crap, I didn't realize they were seeded that high. I was thinking with Rose injured, they might have gotten ushered in, but I clearly haven't been paying attention to the eastern conference.
