1st Round
Record: (6-2)
Eastern Conference
Chicago Bulls Vs Miami Heat
The Bulls are coming
into this series beat up and that’s not good since The Heat have been sitting
back relaxing and preparing for their next opponent. Nate Robinson has carried
The Bulls this season and looked great in the first round against The Nets, but
outside of him everybody else is hurting and not playing consistent. The Heat
on the other hand are looking strong, Lebron is playing well, Chris Bosh is
also playing well and The bench is stepping it up. Even though Dwayne Wade has
been battling injuries throughout the season everybody else has been able to
step it up in his absence when he’s had to sit out. I have a feeling this will
be a quick and easy series for The Heat because The Bulls are not deep enough
to last an entire series against The Heat.
Heat over Bulls 5 games
Indiana Pacers Vs New York Knicks
This is going to be
one hell of a matchup! Carmelo Anthony got beat up in the first round of the
playoffs but it doesn’t look like it’s bad enough where it will really be
effecting his play. It does look like some of the other guys on The Knicks
ego’s got in the way and they did get exposed by The Celtics in situations
where they shouldn’t have. Hopefully they learned from that and figured out
they haven’t accomplished shit until they actually win something like a fucking
Championship!! The Pacers dominated The Hawks in the first round and I believe
will come into this round hungry and ready to beat The Knicks. Both of these
teams can light you up on the offensive side but where I think The Pacers have
the edge is on defense and in the paint. Tyson Chandler is a good player but
dude is hurt and old, as well as most of the guys on The Knicks, where as The
Pacers are the exact opposite they are healthy and young and will be tough to
keep up with. This should be a fun series to watch, but I think The Pacers will
walk away with the win.
Pacers over Knicks 7 games
Western Conference
Memphis Grizzlies Vs Oklahoma City Thunder
Well here The
Grizzlies are yet again playing the role of spoiler in the playoffs. They have
been doing this the past couple of seasons in the playoffs, they take on the
underdog role and just straight dominate teams and take everyone by surprise
and they just did it in the first round to the high powered Clippers. The
Clippers aren’t a chump squad either and The Grizzlies just straight up
dominated them and here they are ready to take on The Thunder. The Thunder took
a major hit to their team with Russell Westbrook getting injured, now
everything is on Kevin Durant and hopefully some role player can step up and
help him out, but I was not convinced with what happened in the first round
against The Rockets. The Thunder look like a completely different team without
Westbrook and I feel like this is something The Grizzlies can take advantage of
because they are on fire and are not afraid to step up and beat the best teams
in the league. Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol are dominating in the paint and
will have the advantage here against The Thunder, they also have enough fire
power to keep up with The Thunder’s high powered offense and have enough
defense to contain Kevin Durant. If Westbrook was playing in this matchup I’d
take The Thunder no question, but The Grizzlies are a hot team right now and I
think are going to surprise people and pull the upset.
Grizzlies over Thunder 7 games
Golden State Warriors Vs San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs came out
strong against The Lakers in the first round and even though The Lakers played
like absolute garbage that still doesn’t take away anything from how bad The
Spurs kicked their ass! Tony Parker has been balling uncontrollably this year
and continues to do so in the playoffs, Manu Ginobili looks to finally be
healthy and Tim Duncan is still playing strong even though he is 108 years old!
Duncan absolutely killed it in the paint against two seven footers, so it is
going to be interesting to see if The Warriors have an answer for all The Spurs
weapons on offense and defense. In the paint is where The Spurs should really
dominate, especially now that David Lee is hurt, but even if he was healthy I
will take Tim Duncan any day over what Golden State has going on in the paint.
Stephen Curry is also having an insane year, he has really stepped up his game
and has become the leader of this Warriors squad! I really like what Mark
Jackson has done with The Warriors over the last couple of seasons, he has made
them a tough, competitive team who really believes in what they do. But I don’t
think they have enough to beat The Spurs. The Spurs have a ton of playoff
experience on their team, guys with multiple rings and Coach Pop is one of the
best in the game. I think this should be another quick series for The Spurs.
Spurs over Warriors 5 games
