Playoffs!

Don't feel like writing too much right now..detailed analysis to come sometime before Saturday

West 1st Round

(1)Mavs over (8)Warriors in 5

Warriors have been playing really well and they have recently owned the Mavs but they still play no defense and there's a reason the Mavs have 25 more wins

(5) Rockets over (4)Jazz in 6

The Rockets have the two best players in the series and homecourt advantage

(2) Suns over (7) Lakers in 7

The Lakers have simply been too inconsistent (especially on the defensive end) to beat a good team like the Suns. Kobe may power them to 2 or 3 wins but the talent just isn't there

(3) Spurs over (6) Nuggets in 5

AI and Melo are nice but the Nuggets' D still isn't there and the Spurs are too solid. Easy call here


East 1st round

(1) Pistons over (8) Magic in 4

The Pistons are simply much more talented than the Magic and have way more playoff experience.

(5) Bulls over (4) Heat in 7

The Heat have the two best players arguably but Wade isn't 100% and the Bulls have a lot of weapons. It's really a hard call here but I say Bulls because of Wade's shoulder

(2) Cavs over Wizards in 3 (uhh I mean 4)

Cavs beat them last year in 6 and without Arenas or Butler the Wizards have no chance.

(6) Nets over Raptors in (7)

The Nets have come on lately and have much more playoff experience. I don't think the Raptors have anyone to stop Carter and Kidd is still a lot better than TJ Ford
