NBA Playoff Predictions

EAST
Round 1
Cavs over Bulls in 4. No real series here just a few tune up games before the real thing starts.
Celtics over Heat in 6. The C's must be disappointed to see D Wade coming to town. Fortunately for them, the Heat have assembled a worse supporting cast than the 1 the Cavs had around LBJ in 07 when they went to the finals.
Hawks over Bucks in 5. Hawks are athletic and without Bogut Bucks dont stand a chance.
Magi over Bobcats in 6. This will surprising be a series.
Conference Semi's
Cavs over Celtics in 5. Another yawner for the Cavs as King James rips through an old tired Celtics team.
Hawks over Magic in 7. Call this a gut feeling but I believe that the Magic will lose its magically 3 point touch it had in the playoffs last year against Cleveland and Atlanta will display the athletism and beat the Magic.
East Finals
Cavs over Hawks in 6. It will be a close back and forth series but when all is said and done this Cavs team is head and shoulders above the rest in the East. The difference between this years team and last years team is HUGE. This blogger will be very shocked if any team knocks the Cavs from the playoffs before the NBA finals.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
Round 1
Lakers over Thunder in 4. Kevin Durant, twinning 50 games is nice but his is your welcome to the NBA moment.
Nuggets over Jazz in 7. This might be the best series in the playoffs. Deron Williams is a great player, if only he had a little bit more help.
Suns over Blazers in 5. Suns are on fire and the traditional post season meltdown will wait a series or 2.
Spurs over Mavs in 7. Another classic series. Spurs have too much talent to lose it.
Semi's
Lakers over Nuggets in 7. Nuggets can win this series. But the Lakers are the champs, and they have come out of the West the last 2 seasons for a reason. I believe in the Lakers veterans.
Spurs over Suns in 6. Same old result here - Suns had a great regular season only to see the Spurs in the playoffs, sorry about your luck Steve Nash.
West Finals
Spurs over Lakers in 6. Call it a gut feeling but I think this Spurs team has 1 more run in them. Manu is playing his best ball and Tim duncan is always a beast.

NBA FINALS
CAVS over Spurs in 7. The CAVS will win the first sporst championship for Cleveland since 1964. Lebron will have an epic series vaulting him into the greatest of all time discussion.
