The NBA playoffs are set and begin this weekend, so it is time for my NBA playoff picks
East:
1) Bulls vs. 8) Pacers- Pacers thanks for making the playoffs, bye. Bulls sweep
2) Heat vs 7) 76ers- I would love if the 76ers win, and I think they will, one game, Heat in 5
3) Celtics vs. 6) Knicks- Some think the Knicks will give Boston problems, I don't, they don't defend and they don't rebound that means you don't win in the playoffs. they do have enough scoring to win two games however. Boston in 6
4) Magic vs. 5) Hawks- The Hawks took 3 out of 4 from the Magic, and that one win was in November... so Hawks win in a upset right? wrong. Magic in 7 however.
1) Bulls vs 4) Magic- Bulls have D Rose, the Magic do not. Bulls in 6
2) Heat vs 3) Celtics- Boston has one last run in them, I'm telling you this now. Celtics in 6
1) Bulls vs 3) Celtics- Too big of a jump for the Bulls to make the finals, this year is a learning experience for a young team and a rookie head coach, next year, watch out. Celtics in 6
West:
1) Spures vs 8) Griz- Manu is out, we will see for how long, I think either way the Griz wins a game, that is all, Spurs in 5
2) Lakers vs. 7) Horents- Quick PG usually give the Lake Show problems, but the Lakers swept NO during the season, they will win in 5 in this series
3) Mavs vs. 6) Blazers- I think this will be a good series. I don't like Dallas, and the Blazers are a very good team. Blazers in 6
4) Thunder vs. 5) Denver- This one will be fun to watch, lots and lots of scoring. But give me Durant over anyone on Denver. Thunder wins in 7
1) Spurs vs. 4) Thunder- Can the young Thunder do it? Sure, will they? I think so, the Spurs played so well before the All Star break but are wearing down. OK takes it in 6
2) Lakers vs 6) Blazers- Should be a good series, give Portland two games, Lakers in 6
2) Lakers vs 4) Thunder- it was a great series in the first round last year, this one will be good too. Durant is going to be special, but Kobe and friends still can get it down. Lakers in 7
Finals:
2) Lakers vs. 3) Celtics- One more time! it is what we want, at least I do. I believe I went with the Lakers before the season, and I will stay with it. Lakers in 6
I'm right, you're wrong

There seems to be a vulnerability to the Celtics that wasn't in evidence earlier. As for the Lakers, I think it would be good for the NBA if someone else won this year.
I'm going for the Bulls to be the East's representative partly because of Rose, and partly because they take such a pride in their defense. Nothing against Lebron James or Wade but I don't want to see Miami get to the final. It shouldn't be that easy to create a dream team and walk away with the prize.
As for the West, it would be nice to see OKC get to the final but I don't see it happening so I'll go for San Antonio, for the way they have lead the rest throughout the season, and for the risk they took in changing their style of play.
Overall winner, Chicago. Rose deserves it for the way he has played throughout the season, with or without key players around him.
