EAST:
#8 NEW JERSEY
#1 MIAMI -8 ? 185 1/2
Will Jason Kidd and the rejuvenated Vince Carter (24.5ppg) be enough to stop Dwayne Wade (24.1ppg) and the Miami Heat with, or without Shaquille O?Neal (22.9ppg) ?
#7 PHILLY
#2 DETROIT -9 185
Allen Iverson (30.7ppg) and Chris Webber attempt to take down last years World Champion Detroit Pistons in what could be a surprisingly close series.
#6 INDIANA
#3 BOSTON -3 189
The Boston Celtics, led by Paul Pierce (21.6ppg) and Antoine Walker (19.1ppg) will host Jermaine O?neal and the Pacers in what many are predicting to be a first round upset.
#5 WASHINGTON
#4 CHICAGO -4 193
A Cinderella match-up here as no one would have thought at the beginning of the season that one of these two teams would be headed to the second round of the playoffs?
WEST:
#8 MEMPHIS
#1 PHOENIX -9 205
This promises to be a high scoring affair as both teams get up and down the court in a hurry. Amare Stoudemire (26.0ppg) has had a breakout regular season, could this be his time to take his team to the next level?
#7 DENVER
#2 SAN ANTONIO -7 190
The Denver Nuggets find themselves in the unenviable position of facing the Spurs in the first round. Could the Spurs be slowing down? Are the Nuggets mature enough yet? Find out this ?weekender?!
#6 SCARAMENTO
#3 SEATTLE -3 202
I am curious to see how the Kings do without Chris Webber, and whether or not Ray Allen (23.9ppg) and the Sonics are for real, or just an aberration?
#5 HOUSTON
#4 DALLAS -4 ? 192
Dirk Nowitzki (26.1ppg) and Dallas are looking to prove that they are serious contenders and not just a high scoring novelty act. Speaking of novelty acts, Yao Ming (18.3ppg) would like to show the world his true potential and Tracy McGrady (25.7ppg) will be ready to cut loose.
MLB:
ASTROS (6-7)
2:15pm
CARDINALS (8-4)
The Cardinals, last years World Series runners up are led by the best player in baseball Albert Pujols (46, 123,.331) and new staff ace Mark Mulder (17-8, 4.43) and will be hosting a very underrated Houston squad. The Astros are led by an intimidating trio of starting pitchers in Roger Clemens (18-4, 2.98), two time 20 game winner Andy Pettitte and Roy Oswalt (20-10, 3.49).
TWINS (8-6)
1:05pm
TIGERS (6-8)
The Twins bring Cy Young winner Johan Santana (20-6, 2.61) and his 17 game winning streak to Tiger-town to face an up and coming squad that added OF Magglio Ordo?ez to a lineup that already boasted C Ivan Rodriguez (19, 86,.334) and SS Carlos Guillen (20, 97,.318).
