mine's in red..

i rarely see any basketball related threads in here.. i hope i'm not the only basketball fan on neowin :/

Eastern:

Celtics VS Pacers - Pacers

Knicks VS Nets - Nets

Bucks VS Pistons - Pistons

Hornets VS Heat - Heat

Western:

Timberwolves VS Nuggets - Timberwolves

Lakers VS Rockets - Lakers

Spurs VS Grizzlies - Spurs

Kings VS Mavericks - Kings

Eastern:

Celtics VS Pacers - Celtics

Knicks VS Nets - Nets

Bucks VS Pistons - Bucks

Hornets VS Heat - Heat

Western:

Timberwolves VS Nuggets - T'Wolves Much love to Anthony, hes helped this team a lot, but i dont see them passing the first round, he is the Rookie of the Year though, look what he did for Denver, from a dead last team to a playoff team, i know it isnt a one man show, but hes helped them greatly.

Lakers VS Rockets - Lakers and i say this because of the momentum they have after a shot by Kobe that led them to overtime then the game winning 3 by Kobe to beat the Trailblazers, i think if all the drama is gone or doesnt come out as much, lakers beat Houston

Spurs VS Grizzlies - Spurs

Kings VS Mavericks - Mavs <-- upset match

Its that time again for the chase to that big basketball trophey.. ( :unsure: Wilt Chamberland I think...:ermm:)

lol i don't watch much basketball.

#2 New Jersey Nets vs. #7 New York Knicks

#3 Detroit Pistons vs. #6 Milwaukee Bucks

#4 Miami Heat vs. #5 New Orleans Hornets

WESTERN CONFERENCE:

First Round:

#1 Minnesota Timberwolves vs. #8 Denver Nuggets

#2 L.A. Lakers vs. #7 Houston Rockets

i wanted to pick the Celtics over the Pacers, but i have hope in them this year.

they have the best percentage in the entire league, but they never make it past the first round. why is that? i would be devestated to have played so great and not even make it past the first round.

Yes, well, think of the timberwolves. Out in the first round 7 years in a row.

The Rockets, I think, are one of the teams that can give the Lakers and run for it's money. Shaq and Yao play each other pretty even.

They split the season series and the games that the lakers did win were close games. If the Lakers do wind up winning, Houston will push

it to the full seven games.

i'm considering to bet a lot of money on them, i've seen some of the housten and laker games.

you are not the only basketball fan on Neowin!! i am a die hard basketball fan, particularly the knicks, which before i give my predictions i need somewhere to get this off of my chest so why not here...

i just saw on sportscenter last night... allan houston has announced that he will not be playing in the first round against the nets due to his knee that has been bothering him and caused him not to play a game since march 18th i believe it was...i have always thought allan houston was a soft punk, but this really proves it to me and i cant stand him... to not play with an injury for your team that has not made the playoffs in over 3 years is just disgusting to me, i really hope this injury ends his career i truly do... do the knicks a favor and retire you soft ass punk!!! the truth is though the knicks are really no better off with him according to the stats sportscenter showed, so i really want to see him off the team...

okay with that off my chest, here are my predictions (with games included)

Eastern:

Celtics VS Pacers - Pacers (4-2)

Knicks VS Nets - Knicks (4-3)

Bucks VS Pistons - Pistons (4-1)

Hornets VS Heat - Hornets (4-2)

Western:

Timberwolves VS Nuggets - Timberwolves (4-1)

Lakers VS Rockets - Rockets (4-3) - I know it not realistic, but I HATE the Lakers and will be routing for whoever plays against them

Spurs VS Grizzlies - Spurs (4-0)

Kings VS Mavericks - Mavericks (4-3)

Saturday 4:30 in the Afternoon - Knicks vs Nets!!!!!!!

We need a thread that can last the entire playoffs not just the first round. :p

since i do agree with this statement, and since i missed this one originally, i am just copying my predictions from the other post and pasting them in here...

Eastern:

Celtics VS Pacers - Pacers (4-2)

Knicks VS Nets - Knicks (4-3)

Bucks VS Pistons - Pistons (4-1)

Hornets VS Heat - Hornets (4-2)

Western:

Timberwolves VS Nuggets - Timberwolves (4-1)

Lakers VS Rockets - Rockets (4-3) - I know it not realistic, but I HATE the Lakers and will be routing for whoever plays against them

Spurs VS Grizzlies - Spurs (4-0)

Kings VS Mavericks - Mavericks (4-3)

    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
    • This would be the ideal scenario for the context menus
    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.
