Yesssss!!! They're finally here and kicking off in time for 2 long weekends in a row
EAST: Gotta be happy with these match ups, time to get over the East Conf weakness and enjoy the head to head.
1. Indiana vs. 8. Atlanta: Atl have played everybody tough this year and I think they'll give Indy trouble, but not enough.
Result = Indy 4-2
2. Miami vs. 7. Charlotte: Great match up, Al Jeff will be great, I have a feeling Lebron might guard him a bit.
Result = Miami 4-0
3. Toronto vs. 6. Brooklyn: Tough to pick, I can't see the Nets not going through, but the Raps have been solid all year.
Result = Brooklyn 4-2
4. Chicago vs. 5. Washington: Another great match up, Wall is gonna be exciting to see and I like what the Wiz are doing. But.....
Result = Chicago 4-1
WEST:
1. San Antonio vs. 8. Dallas: As a Spurs fan, I'm stoked with this match up. I like Dallas and especially Dirk, but the Spurs will own them. I hope.
Result = Spurs 4-1
2. Oklahoma City vs. 7. Memphis: This is the match up I wanted to see, I actually think Mem are better than last year. UPSET
Result = Memphis 4-2
3. Los Angeles vs. 6. Golden State: People are still giving the Clips no cred, I rate them highly and think they'll do well, with Bogut out I think it pretty much hands the series to them. Should still be exciting though.
Result = LA 4-1
4. Houston vs. 5. Portland: Incredible match up, Por have historically struggled with Dwight, so as long as he's healthy, I think he'll be too much for them along with the Beard. Could go 7 games.
Result = Hou 4-3
Can't wait for the weekend. Time to place some bets.
