<u>East:</u> Detroit vs. Milwaukee, 4-0. Detroit won't lose, they seem way too determined this year. Miami vs. Chicago, 4-0. I think the games will be relatively close but Miami will pull out the tough wins in each game. Indiana vs. New Jersey, 4-3. This will be a close series, I'm taking Indiana because of their defense and post play. Washington vs. Cleveland, 4-2. Arenas, Butler, and Jamison will be too much for LeBron and Co., better luck next year Cavs. <u>West:</u> San Antonio vs. Sacramento, 4-0. San Antonio wants to send a message that they are still a dominant team even though many think they are weaker/older/unhealthier this year. Phoenix vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 4-1. Kobe can average 50 points for the series and the Suns can still win, Kobe keeps LAL from getting swept. Clippers vs. Denver, 4-0. Clippers may surprise some people but they have home court and are just a better team. Dallas vs. Memphis, 4-2. Memphis will surprise Dallas, I'm not sold on Dallas' new defense, its definitely improved but its not that great. Memphis has very good defense, alot of good shooters and a strong post presence in Pau Gasol, it ought to be enough to win them a few games.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">I know that, I just have a gut feeling Denver will pull it off.</div> Well the post wasn't specific to you, I didn't even know you picked Denvenr. It just seems like a lot of people are looking at the series thinking LA is the underdog because the rankings say 3 vs 6.

The Clippers, Wizards, and Pacers are the only teams that have a chance of upsetting their series. Of those teams I think the Clippers are the only one that will, and that's not really an upset because they have homecourt. The Lakers will not beat the Suns, get over it. Unless Kobe can somehow guard both Nash and Marion, the Suns will win that series.
Kobe is great, but how can you guys say that the Lakers will beat the Suns while keeping a straight face?
