NBA Playoff Predictions

1st Round East:
Miami vs. Milwaukee
Heat in 4
Easy round for the Heat. Milwaukee will be lucky to keep a game close.

 New York vs. Boston
Knicks in 6
Knicks should win this, but Boston has the veteran leadership to put up a fight and win some home games, but Melo is hot and will carry them to the next round.

Indiana vs. Atlanta
Pacers in 6
Pretty even series, with neither team having a real superstar, but the Pacers have just a little more talent.

Brooklyn vs. Chicago
Nets in 7
A toss up series, neither team is playing great, but Brooklyn has two guys who could take over a game in Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, plus home court advantage.

1st Round West:
Oklahoma City vs. Houston
Thunder in 5
Harden and Lin will snag a win at home, but Westbrook and Durant will steam roll through to the next round.

San Antonio vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Spurs in 5
With or without Kobe, the Lakers aren'g getting past the battle tested Spurs, who should hopefully be well rested for the stretch run. I think Dwight Howard have one great game to get them a win.

Denver vs. Golden State
Nuggets in 7
The Nuggets are still hot even after the loss of Danilo Gallinari, but the Warriors young talent will put up quite a fight.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis
Clippers in 7
Another toss up series, but LA has the home court and the best point guard in the league.

Conference Semi Finals:
East:
Miami vs. Brooklyn
Heat in 5
Heat are hot and should breeze through, Nets possibly get a home win.

New York vs. Indiana
Knicks in 6
It's a superstar league. The Knicks have Melo, the Pacers have no one.

West:
Oklahoma City vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Thunder in 6
Better team wins. Thunder are the class of the west, and the Clippers are still a year or two away from making a serious run.

San Antonio vs. Denver
Denver in 7
Im picking the younger, faster team for the upset, i needed one.

Conference Finals:
East:
Miami vs. New York
Heat in 6
Knick are the only team in the east who can give the Heat a series. Melo has to continue to score 37 a night and they need to play great defense, but Miami is to good and will move onto the finals for the third year in a row.

West:
Oklahoma City vs. Denver
Thunder in 6
The Nuggets run ends against the best one-two punch in the league in Durant and Westbrook. Thunder move on to face the Heat for the second year in a row.

NBA Finals
Miami vs. Oklahoma City
Heat in 6
Nothing has shown me that the Thunder can beat the Heat. They improve from least year and win two games, but in the end LeBron gets title number two.
