Its not a given that the Cavs would win the Conference. Remember Kyrie and Kevin Love are not playoff tested never mind their coach. JR Smith is streaky as well. They are favorites but its not a slam dunk. They would have it rough against the Bulls because the Cavs have no one who can guard Gasol. Jimmy Butler can also pick up the assignment to guard Kyrie

Hawks vs Nets: Hawks swept the Nets in the regular season and with heavy beatings too. The Hawks were in the playoffs last year and took the Pacers all the way to 7 almost pulling off an upset, expect no such from the Nets. The Hawks are far too deep and balanced for that. They do lack a star that can take over games but that would not hurt them in this round

Cavs vs Celtics: Just making the playoffs is success for the Celts. The Cavs however do have loftier goals, two of the best teams in the East since the All-star break they both enter this matchup with serious momentum. The Celts are young, hungry and have nothing to lose. This series would be tougher than most people anticipate but the Cavs should have too much firepower. No sweeps here

Cavs in 6

Bulls vs Bucks: Jason Kidd is the first coach to lead two different teams to the playoffs in his first 2 seasons and what he's done with the Bucks is quite remarkable since they lost over 60 games last year. They also lost maybe their best player in rookie Jabari Parker and traded Knight but they have hung in there however they face a Bulls team that must realize the title window is gradually closing and the time to make a run is now. With a relatively healthier team and impressive play from rookie Mirotic, Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol they aren't quite as dependent on D.Rose as they used to be. I think the veteran Bulls just have the deeper roster and would bully the Bucks who should use this playoffs as a learning experience

Bulls in 5

Raptors vs Wizards: The slumping Raptors have struggled mightily pretty much since the second month of the year, the Wizards as well and so must face each other instead of the Celts or the Bucks had they finished higher. This is probably where the best basketball will be played. An exciting PG battle between Lowry and Wall and Beal vs DeRozan at SG however with battle tested veterans like Paul Pierce and a superior frontcourt of Nene and Gortat I just feel homecourt advantage might not count for the Raptors

Pelican vs Warriors

Having the brow in the playoffs is just what the doctor ordered for league, it's fans and its front office, he is the future of the league in so many aspects and the Pelicans have overachieved by merely making it to the post season, they are not an entirely inexperienced team but I think they get swept by the streaky shooting warriors who would be all out to prove they deserve the hype and would look to win convincingly and faster so as to rest some first team players.

Warriors sweep the Pelicans

Mavericks vs Rockets

Both teams boasts of an experienced roaster and the show down is ready, the Rockets are a deeper team and have a go to player in James Harden, combine that with an efficient Howard down low to protect the rim, block shots and make some buckets and hopefully some free throws, the Rockets may be the dark horses of the west, don't forget they also have one of the best perimeter defense in the west with Ariza and Corey Brewer, their only short coming might come from the PG position, the Mavs have a very solid first team but after that the bench is limited in quality, I expect Rondo to finally prove his critics wrong in the post season with some scintillating play, the Mavs depend a whole lot on jump shooters and with the Rockets perimeter and better one on one defense, I am taking the rockets in this one.

Rockets in 7

Clippers vs Spurs

If you love team chemistry, ball movement, discipline and unselfish plays then Popovic and the Spurs are your team, they have gotten hot at just the right time, this season has been tough for this roaster, pretty much same from last season, there has been no exceptional player during the regular season but hopes are high for last season's MVP Kawahi, his maturity is expected to hit its peak during this postseason, they are lacking the energy and power to compete with the younger clippers who have Jordan and Griffin down in the paint, and of course the meticulous CP3, so much of his legacy is riding on this post season, he single handedly threw the game away for the Clips last postseason after consecutive turn overs and fouling a three point shooter, he would be looking to redeem some pride and make some noise for the city of LA.

Spurs Win

Grizzlies vs Portland

I do have a very soft spot for the Grizzlies, I have never hidden my admiration for their style of play which is slow, mostly half court and they pound the glass with power and hope to wear their opponents out, not much of a jump shooting team but a very potent defense in every position, Gasol and Zibo would be looking to fulfil the expectations of this franchise, Aldridge and the Trail Blazers are also a very energetic team but without Mathews they have fallen very short in quality also, you don't know what team shows up each night, they are a jump shooting team and rebound poorly.

The Grizzlies win

A40:
Sweep ke? These teams are too evenly matched. Even the Pelicans I doubt they get swept

The Mavs can go past the Rockets if Rondo shows up and if Parsons is healthy, they are the deeper team

Eastern Conference I go analyze when my head cool down small

SIRcumalot:
You're really trying hard to force this label,
Your irrational hate for LBJ blinds you to the truth.
Which Upset one happen.
When last 1st and 2nd seeded teams no meet for the conference finals ?
Chicago still has to try and fit Rose into their offense again.
The Cavs arrived at the playoff with all their players intact.
I don't even see the spurs making the WCF to many road games.

SIRcumalot:
I have never been a fan of any NBA team for a time I tried to follow the Thunders but I have no special bond with them.
You are making your prediction based on personal feelings rather than logic.
The Atlanta hawks and the Cavs are the two best team in the east.

Mynd44:
I wont be surprised if they come around to support the Cavs

Mynd44:
We said it last season that most supposedly fans of Miami Heat are actually fans of LBJ not the Heat

Finally some real basketball!

Warriors vs Pelicans: Nice to see Anthony Davis in the playoffs, if MVP was decided by efficiency alone he would be MVP hands down. This would be a more competitive series than most people think. So long as Davis gets help from his supporting cast they should at least push this to 6

Prediction: Warriors in 6

Rockets vs Mavericks: Now this would be all out war! City rivals, Parsons a former Rocket, JET a former Mav. Two gunslingers Harden vs Monta Ellis two behemoths in the paint Howard vs Chandler. I'm leaning towards the Mavs on this one mainly because the Rockets best player is not reliable in the playoffs not lately at least. His eye-watering shooting against the Blazers is still fresh in the memory. With a healthy Parsons and Rondo showing up the Mavs would have enough depth to overpower the Rockets

Prediction: Mavericks in 6

Clippers vs Spurs: This could easily be a Conference Final its bittersweet that both teams have to meet so early out but on the bright side this is a feast of basketball we have on our hands. Chris Paul vs Tony Parker Blake Griffin vs Tim Duncan. Outside shooting might prove key in this series and this is where the Spurs in my eyes have the edge

Prediction: Spurs in 7

Grizzlies vs Portland: Battle of the injured! Both teams missing key players Afflalo, Matthews on one side Conley, Allen on the other. Lillard has been rather poor since after the All-star break, this doesn't bode well for the Blazers and I just don't see how they can cope with Gasol and Z-Bo in the block

Prediction: Grizz in 6
