Welcome.  You know the routine, so get to reading.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

(4) DALLAS MAVERICKS vs. (1) SACRAMENTO KINGS
Ozzymadeo : This ought to be a great series.  It'll go to a seventh game and with the last minute ticking down, Chris Webber will call a timeout that he doesn't have, letting the clock run out.  Won't matter, as Dallas will be up by 45 points.
Gallion : Everyone is talking NBA evolution here, with this series.  Both teams have a good amount of quality foreigners and were the 2 highest scoring teams in the league.  I don’t care.  My hometown is Dallas and I hate almost everyone on the Kings.  Vlade Divac, especially.  Can this guy flop any more?  It’s a shame people like him exist on the court and in life.
Pick : Mavericks (Both)

(3) SAN ANTONIO SPURS vs. (2) LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Ozzymadeo : This should be better than last year's series, however, Kobe Bryant is a bit more aerodynamic with his new haircut.  Since David "The Admiral" Robinson wasn't in the Air Force, the Spurs are shit out of luck.
Gallion : For the Spurs, in the previous series (Vs. Seattle), they were able to have David Robinson healthy enough to win.  He’s got nothing left at this point, though, and having 2 of him healthy still wouldn’t help San Antonio get past the Lakers.  Too much talent/greatness sits on L.A. just waiting to unload on the innocent victims of the NBA.
Pick : Ozzymadeo – Minneapolis, Gallion – Lakers

EASTERN CONFERENCE

(4) CHARLOTTE HORNETS vs. (1) NEW JERSEY NETS
Gallion : The Hornets bags are already packed for New Orleans, so they should just quit and not even play.  Their PLAYOFF home games aren’t even selling out.  That’s a sad day.  Jason Kidd is overrated and needs to learn how to shoot before he’s ever considered great.  That is all.
Ozzymadeo : Since nobody will watch this series, I'll just throw a dart at the board.  Green will be the Nets.  Red will be the New Orleans Hornets. <Gets up, can't find dart.>  Well shit.  Let’s throw a hockey puck like the NHL Expansion Committee.
Pick : Gallion – Nets, Ozzymadeo - Columbus... I mean New Jersey

(3) BOSTON CELTICS vs. (2) DETROIT PISTONS
Gallion : Through an anonymous tip I received from a knowledgeable source, I’m taking Boston.  Take that, Detroit.
Ozzymadeo : I noticed something about the Fleet Center.  Boston is pretty green.  And it’s called the FLEET Center.  Green and Fleet remind me of the enema kit they sell in drug stores.  And considering the Celtics gave the NBA Playoffs an Allen Iverson Enema, I think I'll have to go with the team that did the world a favor.
Pick : Celtics (Both)
