40 Days in 40 Nights

Well the NBA playoffs have started and the games have continued to be exciting. The Spurs and Suns played a double OT thriller, the Lakers showed why earned the #1 seed in the Western Conference, and the Celtics showed why they had the best record in the league this year.

So after the first weekend, I am ready to make my predictions for the first round.

In the West, I have the Lakers, Hornets, Suns, and Jazz. In the East, its the Cavs, Celtics, Pistons and Magic.

Even though Detroit lost their first game, I still expect them to come out and win the series. But that loss doesn't bode well for their chances to win the Eastern Conference. The Pistons continue to show a lack of urgency at the worst times. Boston does not show that complacency. They took care of business, crushing the Hawks.

Check back at the beginning of the second round, see my picks for the next round. Until then, peace.
