Western
Conference
Portland
Trail Blazers Vs Golden State Warriors
The only person who actually believes the Trail
Blazers have a chance in this matchup is Damian Lillard. I don’t even think
they have a shot at one win in the entire series! I think we all know that this
will be a quick and easy series for the Warriors!

Utah Jazz Vs
Los Angeles Clippers
I never know what to think of the Clippers anymore?
They are coming into the Playoffs strong, but will it last? Will they be able
to compete with the legitimate teams in the Western Conference? I guess we
won’t find that out just yet though because they will be playing against the Jazz.
The Jazz are a young team who are playing very well, but they aren’t that
impressive. I don’t believe they will have what it takes to withstand an entire
series against the Clippers. The Clippers have depth, and both Chris Paul and
Blake Griffin finally seem to be healthy and playing at a high level. I believe
the Clippers shouldn’t have a difficult time getting past the Jazz and moving
on.

Oklahoma
City Thunder Vs Houston Rockets
This is going to be interesting to see the top two MVP
candidates face off against each other in the first round of the Playoffs.
Russell Westbrook and James Harden have both been putting up insane numbers
from the start of the season and have maintained this high level of play
consistently throughout the entire season. Westbrook has obviously had one of
the greatest seasons an individual player can have since Oscar Robertson, but
Harden has been on a team that also consistently wins. Overall the Thunder are
an exceptionally mediocre team and are lucky to even be in the Playoffs.
Westbrook’s amazing season has covered up the majority of their flaws that will
be exposed in this round. The Rockets have been at the top of the Western
Conference all season long and have an unstoppable offense. I don’t believe
this is going to be a difficult series for the Rockets to win because they have
a much better team that can score at will, and we all know teams win
Championships, not individuals.

Memphis
Grizzlies Vs San Antonio Spurs
These two teams always end up facing each other at
some point in the Playoffs over the past couple of years and surprisingly it
ends up being a good matchup for basketball fans! The Grizzlies are not the
same team they’ve been in the past. They are now an old team with guys who are
continuously getting injured. Once they get one guy back from injury another
guy goes down and that’s always tough to overcome. Tony Allen has already been
ruled out indefinitely and he plays a big role on this team, especially on the
defensive side of the ball. The Spurs are also pretty old, but they still play
at a high level and have a lot of depth! Kawhi Leonard has really taken over as
the leader of this team and has played at an MVP level throughout the season
and I expect him to carry that on into the post season. The Grizzlies should
give the Spurs all they have in this matchup, but in the end I believe the
Spurs will win the series.

Chicago
Bulls Vs Boston Celtics
The Bulls shouldn’t even be in the Playoffs because
they are such a horrific team, but here they are, ready to get beat by the
Celtics! The Celtics aren’t the greatest team either, but they shouldn’t have a
problem moving onto the next round!

Atlanta
Hawks Vs Washington Wizards
This should be an interesting matchup because the
Wizards will be showcasing one of the best backcourts in the league on offense
and the Hawks dominate on the defensive side of the ball. The problem for the
Hawks is I don’t believe they have anyone who is capable of taking over
offensively. The Wizards will be tough to keep up with if Beal and Wall go off
and start scoring at a high pace, the Hawks won’t be able to keep up. I give
the edge in this matchup to the Wizards because they have been more consistent
than the Hawks this season, and also Dwight Howard plays for the Hawks the
floor is going to get pretty slippery with him out there since he’s such a big
ass vagina! You can’t win with that crybaby on your team that’s already been
proven time and again!

Milwaukee
Bucks Vs Toronto Raptors
The Bucks are a young, up, and coming team, who have
surprised all of us and made the Playoffs. The Bucks are a decent team, but not
a team anyone should be afraid of. The Raptors on the other hand have actually
been one of the most consistent teams this season! DeMar Derozan and Kyle Lowry
have continued to excel on the court and look poised to carry this team deep
into the Playoffs. The Bucks are building a foundation and are on their way to
becoming a strong team, but the Raptors are already there and should be able to
take down this young squad easily!

Indiana
Pacers Vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are playing like absolute garbage these
days, but lucky for them they’re in the Eastern Conference and they are sure to
face a chump team in the first round! The Pacers barely made the Playoffs and I
don’t expect them to be much competition against the Cavs. They may steal a
game, but other than that I think this should be a breeze for the Cavs no
matter how terribly they are currently playing.
