NBA Playoff time. The Western Conference has some good first round matchups, but it could've been better. I'll take it thought. This should be the best playoffs in a long long time.
Western Conference
(1) LA Lakers vs. (8) Denver (Lakers in 4 or 5)
(2) New Orleans vs. (7) Dallas (Mavs in 7)
(3) San Antonio vs. (6) Phoenix (Spurs in 7)
(4) Utah vs. (5) Houston (Jazz in 6)
Eastern Conference
(1) Boston vs. (8) Atlanta (Celtics in 4)
(2) Detroit vs. (7) Philadelphia (Pistons in 4)
(3) Orlando vs. (6) Toronto (Raptors in 6)
(4) Cleveland vs. (5) Washington (Cavs in 7) *and only because DeShawn Stevenson said LeBron James was overrated. Wrong guy to piss off.
Conference Semi-Finals
Western Conference
(1) LA Lakers vs. (4) Utah (Lakers in 5)
(3) San Antonio vs. (7) Dallas (Mavs in 7)
Eastern Conference
(1) Boston vs. (4) Cleveland (Celtics in 7)
(2) Detroit vs. (6) Toronto (Pistons in 5)
Conference Finals
Western Conference
(1) LA Lakers vs. (7) Dallas (Lakers in 7)
Eastern Conference
(1) Boston vs. (2) Detroit (Celtics in 6)
NBA FINALS
(1) Boston vs. (1) LA Lakers (Celtics in 7)
The Boston pick is based solely on the fact that I don't think Andrew Bynum will be healthy enough to give the Lakers what they'll need in that series. If he plays and plays well early in the playoffs then I'll take the Lakers in 7. Keep in mind, I believe this is a lot of teams last chances to win the Finals for a few years. When the Lakers have Bynum, Kobe, Gasol and Odom healthy next year I think they reel off 2 or 3 titles straight.
Those are your picks. This playoff season will be great.
