NBA Playoffs Round 1

East

Chicago Over Miami (6 games)

I dont think DWade is 100% and I think Chicago has what it takes this year to pull out of round one. The Ben Wallace signing will be ok this year but haunt them the rest of the contract.

Detroit over Orlando (4 games)

Too much in Motown this year. Orlando could squeak out one with Howard having a monster game. They just arent there yet.

Cleveland over Washington (5 games)

The Cavs just arent that good to sweep them and they are lucky Washington is injured. Cleveland would have been out in round one this year if they were healthy.

Toronto over NJ (6 games)

The Nets are not that good. They have experience on thier side but there is something about this Raptors team that I like. I dont think Bosh has a huge series but I think they pull it out.

WEST

Dallas over Golden State (5 games)

Dallas has too much firepower and they are rested. The Warriors will get one due to a huge game out of B Diddy and Monta Ellis.

Phoenix over Los Angeles (6 games)

Suns are too good but Kobe is gonna win some games on his own, he is becoming that good. He is the perimeter version of Wilt right now... YIKES

San Antonio over Denver (7 games)

This is going to be a closer series than people think. San Antonio has too much but this is gonna be very very interesting.

Utah over Houston (7 games)

Sorry to disagree on this one but I just dont feel it for them this year. TMac and Yao may be the two best players in the series but Utah has the next 4 and I would not be shocked if they have to play some of these games with only one of the super rockets. Utah is very physical. If Houston doesnt have both guys then I think Utah wins. Plus it would make me really happy.
