Ha ha ha. Very funny. Yes, I seem to be neck-and-neck with my wife, who made her picks only after everyone else had made theirs. I seem to suck at making fantasy draft picks. I've been running this league for ten years now and not ONCE have I won it! I've come close, but never won it. Friggin Brett Hull...(long story)
Oh and the Sharks make it slightly interesting.
Montreal 1 - Philadelphia 3
Pittsburgh 3 - New York 1
Detroit 4 - Colorado 0
San Jose 2 - Dallas 3

And Patrick, what the hell is wrong with the Celtics? They get me excited about basketball, and this is what they do?
I think it's time for the Celtics to go deep into the bench and call up a 5'10" red-headed Irish kid. What do you say?
The Celtics playoff disaster has been like the opening of Law & Order....In this series, the Celtics are screwed by two seperate yet equally important groups: The Refs, who at one point called 15 consecutive fouls going the Hawks way and their horrible head coach, who conveniently forgot how to strategize in the fourth quarter again. These are their stories (DUM DUM).
Last night's game was easily one of the top five worst games I've ever seen. In the third, it was actually becoming possible that there would be no Celtics left because AN ENTIRE QUARTER WHERE THE HAWKS WENT TO THE LINE! Mike Bibby would sneeze, and call the foul. At one point, Leon Powe got whistled while lying on the floor. It was inevitable. When one team gets double the free throws in a meaningfull playoff game, it's time to just hire Refs from high school or something. Or maybe admit that there's a gambling problem with them.
As for my boy Doc...that makes every single game this series that he has coached like his old self: Retardedly. James Posey eating pine while Joe Johnson and Josh Childress eat us alive. Eddie House sitting the dog house for no reason. At one point, I thought he was going to put in Ryan Gomes. He's been TERRIBLE and if we do escape the Hawks, we get to watch Captain 4th Quarter Collapse (Doc) meet Sgt. Fourth Quarter Beatdown (LeBron). Just watch the last play of the game, when they could have potentially driven down and tied with a three. Rondo, who can't shoot that deep, holds the ball until LESS than one second, then hucks up an air ball while Doc stood there looking catatonic.
And, since I'm ranting already, I'm going to go ahead and agree with everybody in Minnesotta who killed Garnett for choking in the playoffs. He's a seven foot monster who's terrified to take a meaningfull shot right now. He's getting open looks, then dishing the ball into traffic ultimately turning the ball over. Either that, or he tries to fade away from 18 feet. Just disastrous.
Let's just hope the Refs that called game 6 don't show up in Boston now. Or else Pierce might get called for a foul when Childress trips getting off the plane.
Could it maybe be that the Celtics are NOT as good as we think they are? Think about this...The Celtics have played with a playoff intensity throughout the whole entire season, from the first game all the way to the last. In the playoffs, every team raises their intensity far above that of the regular season. BUT, if the Celts were already playing at their peak intensity, come playoff time, they are the same exact team while the other teams raise their game to that of the Celtics. Take the Pistons for example. Did they play their absolute basketball down the stretch to try for the #1 seed? No, they rested guys and sort of coast into the playoffs, as seeds didnt matter to them, only the prize at the end did. All in all, a team that CANNOT win on the road in the playoffs is in for a lot of trouble...
All in all, they were genuinely unprepared to be challenged. From October till April, they talked a huge game (which was great, and rendered Doc happily useless) which kept them at a higher intensity than everyone else. But, the east is kind of like a girl from Bedford St: they all lay down easy. The Hawks are yapping and shoving and getting in Garnett's face, and we have no idea what to do. Regardless of the intensity though, the officiating has been the worst this side of Colts-Patriots. But, I mean c'mon. The Hawks are like the 18th best team in the league.
