1st Round Record (6-2)
Conf Semi Record (3-1)
Eastern Conference
Boston Celtics Vs Miami
Heat
God
this is such a horrible matchup for me personally because these are
the two teams I can't stand the most! But oh well one will lose this
round and hopefully the other will lose in The Finals! This is where
I thought The Eastern Conference playoffs would end up when the
playoffs started. The Celtics have really stepped up their game since
the second half of the season and have been back to their dominant
defensive ways. Even if The Heat had a healthy Chris Bosh in the
middle this would be an uphill battle for them, but with an injured
Bosh or no Bosh at all Kevin Garnett is going to own The Heat in the
paint! Garnett has really stepped his game up since the playoffs
began and I think a lot of it has to do with him actually being
healthy for once, he looks really hungry to get back to The Finals
and I don't see him letting Lebron or D Wade just run around all
over him like some of these other teams in The East. The Celtics have
owned The Heat during the regular season and can easily match what
The Heat are doing on offense because they have more weapons, a
deeper bench, and play better on defense. The Heat have no one at all
who will be able to play one on one against Rondo for the entire
game, let alone an entire series that could end up going 7 games! The
Celtics aren't intimidated by The Heat at all and actually thrive on
moments like these where as The Heat, especially Lebron, crumble in
the crucial moments. I never bought into The Heat hype at the start
of the season, the end of the season, anytime during the playoffs and
still won't even if they move onto The Finals. That's not just hater
talk either, that's real talk, this team has not fixed their issues
from their loss in The Finals last season and the remaining teams in
the playoffs are all teams capable of taking advantage of them like
The Pacers ALMOST did! This should be a good series to watch but The
Celtics are going to shut a lot of people up!

Western Conference
Oklahoma City Thunder
Vs San Antonio Spurs
This
series is going to be so much fun to watch if you're a basketball
fan. These are the two best teams in the NBA this season, between the
two of them they have only lost one game in the playoffs! Hell The
Spurs are on an 18 game winning streak going back to the regular
season. These teams are pretty much equal from top to bottom, two
great point guards (Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook), two 6th
men that come off the bench and make a difference (Manu Ginobili and
James Harden) and two leaders who have been dominating all season
(Tim Duncan and Kevin Durant). These are two of the top teams on
offense and defense and both teams are about as healthy as you can be
at this point in the season. So the winner of each game is going to
be the one who takes advantage of all the little things like steals
and fast break points. The Spurs have owned The Thunder ever since
they moved to OKC so The Thunder have a lot to prove in this series.
I picked The Thunder from the start of the season to win it all and
even though The Spurs are playing really well and have Championship
pedigree from coach to players, I'm going to stick with my gut on
this one and go with The Thunder. I think they are finally ready to
take that next step and become a Champion and become one of the elite
teams in the league by beating all of the Champions before them in
the Western Conference. But with all that said WHOEVER wins this
matchup WILL be the Champion when it's all said and done!
