Not bad I think the way the Celtics have been playing they can snag at least one if not 2 from Cleveland

Memphis/Portland I don't think will even get to game 6 (Griz will take it)


And of course Id hope the Pels win more than one but Im being a homer

The Cavs aren't sweeping the Celtics. They will pull a game or two out. The young bucks on that team are totally dialed in. They'll get at least one win. Maybe even two.

God I hope I'm wrong. No game 7s in the West, and just one overall.

Hawks have already proven they can smoke the Nets when needed. They've been on cruise control lately

And it's difficult to just crank up to playoff bball when the other team has been playing it for 2 weeks. I think the Hawks will cruise in round 2, but they'll struggle against the Nets.

There's a reason Steve Kerr didn't play pussy ball when he locked up the 1 seed. It might end up costing the Hawks.

Yea, Nets haven't been able to stop the Hawks all season. I don't see them winning more than one in the series.

From RTR America in the other thread :

@FredKatz: Have this in my playoff preview: The Nets allowed 126.1 points per 100 vs. Atlanta this year, the worst of any NBA team vs. the Hawks.

I've got the Blazers winning as well. But I don't think they can win a game 7 in the forum.

The "other" conference

Hawks over Nets in 4
Cavs over Celtics in 4
Bulls over Bucks in 6
Raptors over Wizards in 7

West

Warriors over Pelicans in 5/6
Rockets over Mavericks in 6
Spurs over Clippers in 6
Grizzlies over Trail Blazers in 7*

I think that will be one of the better matchups. Didn't realize the Blazers had so many injuries.

I honestly don't even know why I have that feel, as the Grizz swept them this season, and it's not like Portland is trending up.

But I like the Conley/Lillard and Z-Bo/Aldridge matchup for the Blazers over a 7 game series. Gasol will probably own Crusty, and could be unstoppable most of the time. I don't know...just a feeling.


ETA: Will Afflalo be ready for game 1?

'

They are a shell of the team they were when they had Wesley Matthews. He is their best defensive player and the heart and soul of that team. Blazers will win one home game. That's it. Shame too, I feel like they would have been the 2 seed had Matthews not gone down and would have gone to the Western Conference Finals.
