My first round picks are:
GSW - just too much for the poor Pelicans, hopefully Davis shows out.
HOU - Should be a dang good series, will be interesting to see how Howards return effects the rockets.
LAC - My "upset" pick for the first round, I've just got a feeling about Paul this postseason.
MEM - Blazers just aren't the same without Wes plus it's a bad matchup to start with.
ATL - Lopez could steal one.
CLE - Possibly the biggest mismatch of the first round.
CHI - I think it'll be a battle but experience wins out.
WAS - Torontos defense just puts me off, can't believe in them.
Second Round:
GSW - Memphis just can't keep up.
LAC - Harden goes cold again.
WAS- Defense will keep it close and I think Wall will take over a game or two.
CLE - Just too much unless old Rose is back.
Conference finals:
LAC - Probably the two best teams over the course of the season, I think the Warriors inexperience will catch up to them here.
CLE - Wizards defense is good, but they just don't have anybody to slow Lebron.
Champion:
Clippers - Riding the Paul train all the way, finally solidifies himself as the superstar he is (I know he's appreciated but his numbers really have him in the conversation for best PG of all time and you never really hear him in that conversation).
