Hate to have to post now without listening to the debates, but i actually have work today so i gotta do this now, haha.

(ORL/PHI): Orlando in 5

Love the sidekicks for LeBron in the Richardson/Villa combo.  Plus a good mix of active big-men and defenders off the pine to keep the energy up and the pressure on.  I think Philly absolutely torches this team once at home by about 20, but it also lights a fire under Bron-Bron and helps Orlando cruise to the EC Finals.


(CHI/TOR): Chicago in 7

The talent 1-5 is obvious, but the lack of a bench allows Toronto to stave off elimination in a 4-2 hole and force a game 7 (yes, it's Finley with the buzzer-beating, game winning 3 in game 6).  In an epic, instant classic series, Chicago comes out on top with Deshawn Stevenson the X-factor.

     Simply a nightmare matchup for Bron, Melo can deffend him as much as the next guy not named paul pierce, raise level and a better supporting  cast make it happend.



Toronto
     Bench wins this one.


p.s. Of course i still think the best record of the season is chicagos, but lack of bench will kill them on playoffs.
thats why imho they lose last round and this one too.
No way a five men team win deep playofs series with matchups this heavy.

Orlando in 6
[Significant frontcourt advantage for the Magics carries the series.]

Toronto in 7
[tremendous series, but I like Toronto's bench and experience to win it for them.]

Toronto is better on the glass, defensively, and deeper. That will do it for me.

I really do like Philadelphia. They have my favorite underrated player in the league (Baron Davis), and I like what they've put together. However, LeBron vs. Melo in the playoffs is a LeBron victory in my opinion, and I like the roles that the bigs off the bench play for Orlando, so despite have Telfair as a backup PG, I'm going:

Orlando

Toronto

Man I go away on vacation only to come back already eliminated, at least it doesn't look like my one extra vote for myself wouldn't have made any difference.
