Ok, the regular season is over, and starting tomorrow (Manila Time), the drive to the finals begin. The 2007 National Basketball Association Playoffs will commence tomorrow with eight teams trying to draw first blood on their respective first round series. Do check out my Friendster profile (http://www.friendster.com/uplbsniper) for the schedule of the games or go to http://www.nba.com/schedules. Here is the playoff picture and make your guess of who will win: Round of 16 Eastern Conference (1)Detroit vs. (8)Orlando (2)Cleveland vs. (7)Washington (3)Toronto vs. (6)New Jersey (4)Miami vs. (5)Chicago* Western Conference (1)Dallas vs. (8)Golden State (2)Phoenix vs. (7)Los Angeles Lakers (3)San Antonio vs. (6)Denver (4)Utah vs. (5)Houston* *-Though the Bulls and the Rockets ended up as fifth seeds, they will start the postseason at home due to a superior record against the Heat and the Jazz respectively. My Forecast: Quarterfinals E1 Detroit (4-0) vs. E5 Chicago (4-2) E2 Cleveland (4-0) vs. E3 Toronto (4-2) W1 Dallas (4-3) vs. W5 Houston (4-1) W2 Phoenix (4-2) vs. W3 San Antonio (4-2) Semifinals E5 Chicago (4-2, 4-3) vs. E2 Cleveland (4-0, 4-2) W1 Dallas (4-3, 4-3) vs. W2 Phoenix (4-2, 4-3) Finals E5 Chicago (4-2, 4-3, 4-3) vs. W1 Dallas (4-3, 4-3, 4-3) Champions W1 DALLAS MAVERICKS (4-3, 4-3, 4-3, 4-1)
