Better late than never - 2007 Playoff predictions

Before we get to this new season, I have one piece of unfinished business: results of the 2006-2007 pre-season predictions.

Unfortunately -- these are really old. Plus, since we didn't do this at draft time, only a small group made predictions. K33, JLev, monkeyshoes, WB, Me-Wolves and me participated.

Hits
Everyone did a pretty good job at picking playoff teams. K33, Weedblazers and monkeyshoes all correctly predicted San Antonio vs. Cleveland for the championship, with the Spurs prevailing. Everyone picked Roy for ROY, natch.

Misses
Everyone picked the Clips to make the playoffs again, oops. And we all chose LeBron for MVP, except K33, who picked Tim Duncan.

No one saw the Raptors coming, and, of course, no one predicted GSW to go anywhere either. Biggest miss: JLev predicted the Clippers and Pacers would be in their respective conference championships (vs. 1-and-done Heat and Mavs), with Pacers prevailing and going on to the finals with the Mavs. Whoa, not even close. I picked the Mavs to win it all too -- my bad.

Minnesota Misses: 4 of 6 predicted the Wolves to go to the playoffs, only K33 and monkeyshoes resisted. Thanks for the love, Weedblazers. But it's time to turn the page, folks.

As unlikely as a Wolves playoff run sounds in KG-less hindsight, monkeyshoes picked Memphis to go to the playoffs. (Why Memphis, monkeyshoes? Why not the Wolves instead?) Meanwhile, MeWolves may have already shown a glimpse of becoming the Cee-Wolves, even before the KG trade. He picked the Celtics to make the playoffs in the final spot (even our friends from Boston failed to predict that.)

Moonball
I asked each of you to rank who would win Moonball, excluding yourselves. I was flattered to see Weedblazers and monkeyshoes guessed Red Black and Blue. Co-rrrect! The complete list of moonball predictions are below:
