NBA Conference Semi Finals Predictions


1st Round Record (6-2)


Eastern Conference


Indiana Pacers Vs Miami Heat

The Pacers have been one of the surprising teams out in The East not only because they're winning, but how they're winning. They play a very paced game and once they get going they are hard to stop, so they should be able to keep up with The Heat. But unfortunately I don't think they are good enough to win a seven game series against The Heat. The Pacers won't be a chump team for The Heat to run over like most of the garbage teams in The Eastern Conference, this will actually be a good test for them and offensively they should be able to keep up, but on the defensive side that's a completely different story. That's where The Heat have the edge in this series and that will be the deciding factor in the series.

Heat over Pacers 6 games


Philadelphia 76ers Vs Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are playing some great basketball right now. They are back to their old ways playing great on defense and scoring on offense. I don't know what has got into Kevin Garnett but dude is ballin hard! Everybody was ready to count this guy out and now that he's healthy he is back to full form and talkin mad ass shit! Paul Pierce is still coming up with the clutch shots and Rondo is dishing the ball, scoring and rebounding, he does it all. The 76ers have had a good season but I don't think they have a chance against The Celtics. The Celtics are on a whole other playing level compared to them and they will make the series interesting but that's about it!

Celtics over 76ers 5 games


Western Conference


Los Angeles Clippers Vs San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs have been resting up and patiently waiting for their next opponent in the playoffs. They are a team who benefits from all this time off too because they do have a veteran squad. The Clippers were pushed to the brink in a tough series against The Grizzlies, a few of their guys got banged up in the series too. That is not a good way to be coming into a series with the way The Spurs have been playing this season. Like I said in the last series I don't believe in The Clippers and never have so I think their run will be over in this round. I think The Spurs will dominate The Clippers and it won't even be that great of a series to watch unless you're a Spurs fan!

Spurs over Clippers 5 games

Los Angeles Lakers Vs Oklahoma City Thunder

From the start of the season I picked The Thunder to be The Champions so I am not surprised at all to see how much they dominated The Mavs in the first round of the playoffs. If The Lakers want any chance of winning this series Gasol and Bynum have to play well and the bench has to step it up. We never have to worry about Kobe, he comes out and does his job night in and night out, but he needs the rest of his team to step it up and play with the same heart or else they will get run over by this fast paced Thunder squad! There will be a little more animosity due to Artest and his elbow to Harden's head, so if there wasn't already enough hatred between these two teams it got worse with that! This will be a good series to watch and I'm sure I will have a million heart attacks throughout. I am picking The Lakers to win the series but that's only because I'm a fan of them. I won't be shocked at all if they lose this series. But when you have Kobe anything is possible!!

Lakers over Thunder 7 games
