Who do you think can be a Cinderella team in the playoffs this year?

Without a doubt the Atlanta Braves.  No one has even come close to doing what the Braves have done for over a decade.  As far as the playoffs are concerned, any team can win a five game series, (as weve seen) but how many teams can win their division, by a substantial margin I must add, year after year??  NO ONE!!!  Last year with all of their injuries and having to bring up so many guys from the minors and having them do as well as they did, (Jeff Franceuor, Brian McCann) thats just great baseball.  No one will remember who won the World Series five years ago, but everybody will remember the Braves DOMINATING the N.L. East year after year.  Theres no other choice in my mind the ATLANTA BRAVES BABY!!!

I am 80% confident that they will make it to the playoffs. But a serious injury to Baron or Richardson can really mess it up.

I'm not sure if they will come back and win the finals but u never know there's been a lot of surprises this year, I say anything is possible. And they have 3 games coming up at home not 2, I do know one thing they will win today's game!!

The Oilers for sure, they are not an 8th place team. They have just as good a chance as any, especially if they knock off Detroit. Then everyone will jump on the bandwagon.

I'm tired of the same teams in the Finals, so I hope the Mavs, Clippers, Suns, Cavs, or Nets make it.  Of those teams, I think the Mavs have a realistic chance.

I think it will be New England and Seattle.  Seattle is a good team and has done well this season.  New England is a tough team to stop even though everyone is counting them out I still think they are a force to be reckoned with.

They'll turn it around and possibly go deep in the playoffs....they need chemistry and since they got Big Ben they are in a funky  adjustment period. But they got too much talent. Ben Gordon is as consistent as my gf on PMS, but Harry Potter, er, Kirk Heinrich is solid and they will challenge Cleveland and Detroit as the season progresses.

The team that wins the last game of the year

I think that the biggest surprise will be the Edmonton Oilers. They have the talent and the speed to upset any team, They have an excellent blue collar work ethic and with the recent addition of Dwayne Roloson, they have the right ingredients to go a long way in the playoffs.

I'm not certain, but I'm betting the L.A. Lakers.  I'm GLAD it's not the best team in the NBA right now, the Detroit Pistons!

the team that scores the most points maybe

I'm guessing that they might get wild card....\nalthough I'd love to see them win the division

Denver will make the playoffs.\n\nSan Diego has a big question mark called Phillip Rivers.\nOakland has to realize Brooks will NOT be the answer they are looking for.\nKansas City will make a run for a wildcard spot.\n\nDenver still has a strong system that will maintain their consistency and allow them to hold onto the top spot.  Plus, their defense will come back angrier from the playoff defeat.  Their offense got a boost with the addition of Javon Walker.  The Broncos have a very good chance of getting into the playoffs this season.

The Tigers are having their best season in a long time.  The Redwings and the Pistons both made it to the post season, which in of itself is an accomplishment.  Our beloved Bill Laimbeer could coach the shock to another WNBA championship.  But as long as the Lions are owned by Ford (the automotive industry is dead here) run my McMillan (who just can't create the vision), I am afraid their is little hope.  But at least Michigan has an underdog to root for.

Pistons. Without a doubt.

I think the Spurs are somethin' special, and have to go with them! They are looking GREAT right now, and after coming back after being down 3-1 to the Mavericks; a team that caused EVERYONE trouble this year? That's not exactly easy...! They've proven they can beat the Suns (last years' playoffs is a prime example), and the Pistons and Heat are not as good as they were last year; with the Pistons showing signs of weakness against the inexperienced Cavaliers. Case in point? San Antonio all the way! The Defending Champs are the "team to beat" until beaten, and as long as they are standing they are a force to be reckoned with! =)
