NBA Playoffs Round 2 Predictions

I've got finals coming up so I'll make this quick.


East


(1) Bulls vs (5) Hawks
I see too much talent, size, and athleticism on Chicago to have this be a close series at all. Perhaps, though, Indiana laid the blue print on how to slow down Derrick Rose. Bulls in 5.

(2) Heat vs (3) Celtics
The matchup everyone wanted to see. The new boys against the old guns. Boston swept Miami during the regular season, but I expect both teams to hold serve at home all series long. Heat in 7.

West


(2) Lakers vs (3) Mavs
This is going to be an exciting series as well. No one is picking Dallas to win it, just like last series. Kobe didn't have a great series against the Hornets, and if that trend continues, Dallas should win this one with relative ease. Mavs in 6.

(4) Thunder vs (8) Grizzlies
OKC is not going to let Zach Randolph do his thing like he did against San An. They also don't have the defensive talent to contain Durant, Westbrook, and Serge Ibaka. Thunder in 6.
