my 1st round predictions are pretty simple; anyone in the top 4 beats the lower 4. (don't get any ideas though; aside from indiana on boston and minnesota on denver, most of the teams will have to work for their wins)

from there... i'll post tomorrow... chances are indiana's gonna ride it all the way to the finals(although i would love to see the matchup against detroit)

west, it's a bit more iffy... the odds are on minnesota, then san antonio, then lakers(basically, if bobby jackson and cwebb are stronger than they have appeared, kings will be better than them, but if not...)(i'm gonna love the minnesota on san antonio and sac on la matchups... sac on dallas would also be nice too)
