All of the Basketball Blog contributors sent me their playoff brackets. That is, except The Mystery Cow. He only sent me a message, which I will paste at the bottom.
Western Conference
First Round
(1) LA Lakers
(8) Denver Nuggets
Eddy Zucko - Lakers in 4
ShavedAsian- Lakers in 5
Young Randall - Lakers in 5
GG - Lakers in 4
(4) Utah Jazz
(5) Houston Rockets
Eddy Zucko - Utah in 7
ShavedAsian - Utah in 6
Young Randall - Utah in 7
GG - Utah in 6
(3) San Antonio Spurs
(6) Phoenix Suns
Eddy Zucko - Suns in 7
ShavedAsian - Suns in 7
Young Randall - Suns in 7
GG - Suns in 7
(2) New Orleans Hornets
(7) Dallas Mavericks
Eddy Zucko - Mavs in 6
ShavedAsian - Mavs in 6
Young Randall - Hornets in 6
GG - Hornets in 6
Color - We all agreed on each of the 4 West match-ups, except the last one. Young Randall and I went with Chris Paul and the Hornets, while ShavedAsian and Eddy Zucko are picking the upset. It’s crazy that we all picked the Suns. Aren’t the Spurs the defending champs? Haven’t they won the most titles in recent memory?
Western Conference Semi-finals
Eddy Zucko
Lakers over Jazz in 6
Suns over Mavericks in 7
ShavedAsian
Lakers over Jazz in 6
Suns over Mavericks in 6
Young Randall
Lakers over Jazz in 6
Suns over Hornets in 5
GG
Lakers over Jazz in 6
Suns over Hornets in 6
Color - I think we’re all simply hoping to see Kobe and Shaq all over again. But truly, is that a bad thing to hope for? That would be one of the greatest spectacles in modern sports history and an exciting conference finals.
Western Conference Finals
Eddy Zucko
Lakers over Suns in 7
ShavedAsian
Lakers over Suns in 6
Young Randall
Lakers over Suns in 6
GG
Lakers over Suns in 7
Color - No dark horses here, we’re all taking the Lakers.
Eastern Conference
First Round
(1) Boston Celtics
(8) Atlanta Hawks
Eddy Zucko - Celtics in 4
ShavedAsian- Celtics in 5
Young Randall - Celtics in 4
GG - Celtics in 4
(4) Cleveland Cavaliers
(5) Washington Wizards
Eddy Zucko - Cavaliers in 7
ShavedAsian - Cavliers in 6
Young Randall - Wizards in 6
GG - Wizards in 7
(3) Orlando Magic
(6) Toronto Raptors
Eddy Zucko - Magic in 6
ShavedAsian - Magic in 5
Young Randall - Magic in 5
GG - Magic in 6
(2) Detroit Pistons
(7)Philadelphia 76ers
Eddy Zucko - Pistons in 5
ShavedAsian - Pistons in 4
Young Randall - Pistons in 5
GG - Pistons in 6
Color - The only series any of us disagree on is the Cavs vs. the Wiz. Eddy Zucko and ShavedAsian believe that Lebron and 4 other guys are going to beat the Wizards, who learned how to play without Gilbert Arenas during the year. I think the match-up result is either that Lebron takes his game to another level (and that’s scary) and wills his team to victory, or that the Wizards have too many weapons for Cleveland.
Eastern Conference Semi-finals
Eddy Zucko
Celtics over Cavaliers in 6
Pistons over Magic in 5
ShavedAsian
Celtics over Cavaliers in 5
Pistons over Magic in 6
Young Randall
Celtics over Wizards in 5
Pistons over Magic in 6

Color - No surprises here. We all think the top two seeds seeds are going to meet in the conference finals.
Eastern Conference Finals
Eddy Zucko
Celtics over Pistons in 7
ShavedAsian
Pistons over Celtics in 6
Young Randall
Celtics over Pistons in 7
GG
Celtics over Pistons in 6
Color - ShavedAsian believes that the Pistons will represent the Eastern Conference in the finals, but everyone else thinks the Celtics are the team.
NBA Finals
Eddy Zucko
Lakers over Celtics in 6
ShavedAsian
Lakers over Pistons in 6
Young Randall
Celtics over Lakers in 6
GG
Celtics over Lakers in 7
Color - We’re split right down the middle. Two of us believe the Lakers will win the title and the other two, the Celtics.
As for the Mystery Cow? Well, here was his quote.
Fo’, Fo’, Fo’.
Don’t matter who we play in the Finals, we’ll beat them in Fo’ too.
What he means for those who don’t follow is that he thinks the Lakers are going to sweep every team in the playoffs.
