Also It'd be nice to see Eddie winslow reach the finals.

Who?

Family Matters? Not sure who you think looks like him tho.

WEST
4-1 Warriors over Pelicans (Rooting for GS)
4-2 Mavericks over Rockets (Rooting for Dal)
4-2 Spurs over Clippers (Rooting for San Antonio... least of two evils)
4-3 Portland over Grizzlies (Rooting for Mem)

EAST
4-0 Hawks over Nets (Rooting for Atl)
4-1 Cavs over Celtics (Rooting every minute for Bos)
4-1 Bulls over Bucks (Rooting for Mil)
4-3 Wizards over Raptors (Rooting for Tor)

I can't stand the collective vibe of the Clippers... and definitively can't stand Lebron, so I hope Isaiah has some heroics in him and put some pressure on the Cavs

After thinking about it a bit, I've gone back and changed my prediction to be Mavs over Rockets. Maybe it's just my hate for the Rockets coming out, but I think the Mavs have a more balanced roster and a way better coach, so there's a chance they can pull it out. Also I don't think home-court advantage will be very strong since the two teams are so close to each other. I have a lot of trust in Carlisle and Dirk. They took the champ Spurs to 7 last year. Everybody on the Rockets is unproven and chokes in big moments. They even lost to the junky Blazers last year. Why would I pick them to win a playoff series this year?

the unhealthy dwight is not really a good outside shooter and josh smith is gonna be comedy gold with his shot selection on the biggest stage. houston has beverley and monte out. one man teams rarely succeed in the playoffs.

dallas stumbled a little bit after the rondo trade. but they dont need rondo to beat the rockets.

[Split T]

Warriors over Pelicans with relative ease
Rockets over Mavs, Mavs can't stop Harden
Spurs over Clippers in best first round series
Grizz over Blazers, neither team has chance to beat GS

Spurs over Rockets, Kawhi shuts harden down
Warriors over Grizz with relative ease

Warriors over Spurs in 7

Hawks over Nets in a highly uninteresting series
Cavs over Celtics in a surprisingly interesting series
Bulls over Bucks in another boring series, hopefully Greek freak does something exciting
Raptors over Wizards in a very mediocre series

Hawks over Raptors in a mildly interesting series
Cavs over Bulls in first truly interesting series of eastern conference

Cavs over Hawks in 6

Warriors over Cavs in 7
