Basketball: Playoffs

The NBA playoffs are just around the corner, what is everybodys predictions of the seedings?

Um, I'll go with:

1) Minnesota vs. 8) Houston
2) Kings vs. 7) Denver
3) San Antonio vs. 6) Memphis
4) Lakers vs. 5) Dallas

good choices so you think the wolves are number 1, what about the kings or the spurs? They are very close, but then again everybody is close in the west.

I don't think we have enough defense and I don't think the Spurs don't have enough offense.

in the west i see the spurs in the 3rd seed and the wolves at 2nd they are far better than the spurs this season.

The Spurs position can drop depending on how much time duncan spends out with his knee problem. And this could hurt the Spurs omce playoff time if he isnt healthy.

The race for the spots in the west are so tight right now its every exicting. Kings in frist Twolves in Second and Lakers in 3rd its a great race for 1st

Could this playoff season be somewhat of a beginning of an Eastern revival? Detroit and Indiana are handling themselves against the West better than any other Eastern teams for the last three or so years....

Of course you have to look at the rest of the East aside from those teams, and its rather sad....even New Jersey is looking rather weak...but two teams from the East that have a legitimate chance at a title (or at least a competitive finals, not to mention they have a shot at home-court!) is a step in the right direction, right?
