The playoffs are here again and it is time to rev up the prediction game. I believe the East is open to anyone, Miami is staggering in with too many injuries and uzee that I doubt they'll be able to repeat. The West is where I think the Champ is. Dallas, Phoenix, and Spurs are the sexy picks but I say watch out for Houston. This team has enough Big-Body-Benzes to bang with any team out there. McGrady is also out to shake that cant-get-out-of-first-round tag that he tried to apply to KG and rebounded on him. Yao is playing with true passion and Rafer "Skip-to-my-Lou" Alston has finally understood how to run Van Gundy's offense. To add on, old man Dikembe can still wag a finger at people defensively and that is what wins championships. You heard it here first.

This is why I always shy away from putting my money where my heart is in making these predictions. McGrady almost cried on TV. That's passion and hubris intermingled right there.
