I can tell you right now that the Pistons don’t stand a chance neither does Chicago. The Western Conference is hard to predict but watch out for Denver because they could be ones to knock off L.A., and in the East watch it for Orlando and Dwight Howard. They could do some serious damage this post season. A lot going on in sports right now. We have the NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, Baseball season, and NASCAR on a weekly basis. It’s hard to keep up with it all. I’ll continue to provide you all with the best coverage I can.
