First Round Playoff Predictions

West

Spurs over Mavs in 5
Series Preview



Thunder over Grizzlies in 6
Grizzlies are playing great, but Durant and a healthy Westbrook are too much to handle.

Clippers over Warriors in 6
Paul and Curry are the main attractions but losing Bogut hurts Golden St. going against Griffin and Jordan.

Rockets over Blazers in 6
Portland hasn't been the same team in the second half of the season and should have there hands fulls with Harden and Howard.


East

Pacers over Hawks in 5
Indiana should be able to right the ship against below .500 Atlanta.

Heat over Bobcats in 5
Al Jefferson will give them trouble but the Heat are hard to stop when they actually care.

Nets over Raptors in 7
Series is basically a toss up but I'll give a slight edge to the Nets' expierence.

Bulls over Wizards in 7
Bulls defense will be just good enough to overcome John Wall and company.
