well, there was too much people from the east, so i had to shift it a little. ali lived in houston, texas when he was in his prime, and fought quite a bit of his fights in the astrodome, so i put him in the west.

Sounds like fun. I don't quite understand it though. I'll see when the play-offs start and the New Jersey Nets take over
New Jersey lets go!!


Oh damn, Frazier-Tyson is sick.

it's not that hard to understand. each matchup will be a best of 7, and 8 people from the east and 8 people from the west. like the nba. and there is home-court(or home-ring, take your pick) advantage as well, so it it'll be interesting.

hahahhaaa, this is your funniest post in a long time. would you care to wager on this. the lakers have about as much of a real chance as george mason did in the final four.
