2007 NBA Playoffs begin wild Sunday Shootout
It's the best of the West on display as Dallas, Phoenix and San Antonio begin their postseason campaign. Oh yeah, you'll also see LeBron James.
In what could be one wild Sunday afternoon, the No.2 seed Cleveland Cavaliers will host the No.7 seed Washington Wizards before the BIG THREE of the wild West wage war on the basketball court.
Yep, you'll see the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Washington Wizards first as their first round best-of-seven series in the 2007 NBA Playoffs begin. Unfortunately, this cold be over in a hurry with Washington probably will miss two All-Stars, Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler. The Washington Wizards are just free falling at this point and not even George W. Bush himself can save Washington this time. (When did he anyway?)
After the first round Eastern battle between the Cavs and the Wiz', the big three of the wild West will take center court and start their respective campaigns for the 2007 NBA Playoffs.
First, the No.1 seed Dallas Mavericks will 
take on the No.8 seed Golden State Warriors. Jeez... This is just cruel. Dallas will eat the Warriors alive in this one. Dirk Nowitzki is just playing superb basketball. Although it won't get my vote for MVP yet, Dirk's game alone will be too much for the Golden State defense.
Add guys like Josh Howard, Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse into the mix and the Golden State Warriors won't even have a chance. WINNER? MAVERICKS.
Next, we have the No.2 seed Phoenix Suns facing the No.7 Los Angeles Lakers in a rematch of last year's classic playoff encounter. THIS TIME, Phoenix won't have Tim Thomas to fuck up LA's title hopes with one irritating shot. Yeah, Phoenix still has Steve Nash but LA discovered something that just might propel Tinseltown back in the second round...
Kobe can pass.
It will be tough but I like to see the Los Angeles Lakers to finally get through Phoenix and into the second round of the postseason.
Last but not the least, the No.3 seed San Antonio Spurs will play host to the No.6 seed Denver Nuggets in a game where an upset is more of a possibility. You see, the Spurs won't get the benefit of the doubt in games anymore, after Tim Duncan ALMOST got into a fist fight with NBA referee Joey Crawford. And when you play against a guy like Allen Iverson, who likes to initiate contact and wait for that referee to send him to the foul line, you can't afford to have the refs against you.
The Denver Nuggets could be the darkhorse of the 2007 NBA Playoffs. And if Joey Crawford is an influential guy, he might just ''influence'' the Denver Nuggets pass the San Antonio Spurs. I guess he'll get the last laugh after all.
Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:
Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)
