 coincidence or is stern and his officials trying to make it happen?

 

[B FreeParticipant]

 Are you asking if Stern is trying to make "your" dream matchups happen?

[mookieParticipant]

Talk about getting what he wants.  He wanted to sell the hornets, he did to the saints owner….you think him just accouncing the all star game being announced "all the sudden" to the city of New Orleans have anything to do with the sale?  Since allegedly ticket sales and profits are down maybe he told whoever was gonna buy them they’d get an all star game

I’d like to see:

East

Bulls vs 76ers – Two great defensive teams going at it. Should be a battle.

Celtics vs Hawks – These two teams don’t like each other.

Pacers vs Knicks – Old school thing I want to see happen again.

Heat vs Magic – Not that this would be a great matchup, but a Florida thing.

West

Thunder vs Nuggets – This would be a great series, especially if the Nuggets get healthy. Thunder would be pushed.

Clippers vs Grizzlies – This would be a a fun matchup. Series could honestly go either way.

Lakers vs Dallas – Revenge for Lakers?

Spurs vs Utah – I’d like to see Utah get in. I think this would be an interesting series for some reason.

 Spurs vs Mavs in the first round. Who wouldn’t want to see Dirk vs Duncan one more time?

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I just want to see the Rockets and the Bucks in the playoffs.

[mookieParticipant]

I’m with tounge-out- like-23..bucks and rockets in playoffs would be tight.

East: Bulls Heat Pacers Celtics Hawks Magic Knicks 76ers

Pacers erase Magic in 4 or 5. Knicks take Heat to 7 and win. Pacers beat Knicks in 5. Celtics beat Hawks, then take Bulls to Game 7 and pull it out. Pacers beat Celts in 6. Pacers beat Lakers in 7 at home. <End dream>

what i would like to see:

1)okc vs 8)suns(i think the suns are a fun team to watch and might be able to score enough points to hang with okc and make it interesting)

4)clippers vs 5)grizz(both these teams are scary. Should be a dog fight series and im not sure who the favorite would be)

3)lakers vs 6)dallas(payback time. Dallas doesnt have the speed or size down low to really matchup the same way they did last year when barea was running around fish and chandler was neutralizing bynum)

2)spurs vs 7)nuggets(im just not sold on the spurs and im hoping if the lakers finish at 3 then spurs finish at 2 so they could meet up in the second round)

east

As for the east, nothing in the first round really excites me too much. Boston atlanta should be good but boston will pull it out. New york will face iether miami or chicago and its always fun to see the knicks and if they can compete with the top teams.

[Toronto16Participant]

 I’d like to see:

Bulls – Bucks — Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis vs. Derrick Rose

Heat – Knicks — Won’t be the same without Lin, but still entertaining

Pacers – Hawks — All NBA TV series

Celtics – Magic — Big Baby faces his old team in the playoffs

Thunder – Suns — One more run for Nash in a Suns uniform

Spurs – Mavs — A great team is going out in the first round

Clippers – Nuggets — This would be such an entertaining series, both team like to run

Lakers – Grizzles — Are the Grizzles for real?
