I will start even though we are already up to Game 2 of each of the series.
PS. Dont piss off the Lion
EAST:
Miami vs Milwaukee
-Lebron killed game one with an incredible stat line. I expected MIL to give the Heat a bit of trouble, because they always seem to trouble them for some reason. But the Heat are better than last year and this will be a sweep… nothing gentlemanly about it. MIAMI 4-0
Indiana vs Atlanta
-Paul George started off with a bang, and Larry Drew has seemingly given up already (Al Horford only 28 mins?). I think Indiana take this series in 5. INDIANA 4-1
For note: I’m on the Indiana bandwagon… its small… I may be driving, but I will ride hard.
Brooklyn vs Chicago
-No Noah? Big Problem! I can’t imagine Deng playing much worse than he did in Game 1, so its only up from here! I think that Chicago manage to grind out a couple of games at home, but Brooklyn look very good. BROOKLYN 4-2
New York vs Boston
-Carmelo was good. Boston was terrible in the fourth and have no bench. Im not that impressed with the Knicks. I think Boston just find a way. Boston 4-3
WEST:
Oklahoma vs Houston
-Woah boy… OKC look good… and that sea of blue is going to wash all over Houston. OKC in the gentleman’s sweep. OKC 4-1
Spurs vs Lakers
-Ugly shooting in game 1, but I think that the Spurs are just using this to round into a bit of form for Round 2. Spurs take this in 5, because Pop is a gentleman. SPURS 4-1
Clippers vs Memphis
-Memphis cant play much worse can they? And I still think they get this series. I dont trust Del Negro and I dont trust the Clippers. Im looking forward to Mike Conley adjusting to the bright lights of Hollywood, and Lionel Hollins out-coaching Chris Paul… I mean Vinny Del Negro. MEMPHIS 4-3
Nuggets vs Warriors
-Lee done for the season really hurts the Warriors. Faried playing in Game 2 really hurts the Warriors. The perimeter length of the Nuggets really hurts the Warriors. Nuggets in six because Andre Miller has overtaken Billups as the most underrated player in the League. DENVER 4-2
