NBA Playoff predictions

[Guest]

So the last regular season games have finished. Nets tanked to play the Raps in the first round and Memphis battled to an OT victory over the Mavs to take the 7th seed from them.

 

This year what about 3 points for predicting the winners correctly and an extra 2 points if you predict the correct number of games (obviously with the team you said winning).

 

Matchups for Round 1:

 

Indiana Pacers v Atlanta Hawks

Miami Heat v Charlotte Bobcats

Toronto Raptors v Brooklyn Nets

Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards

 

San Antonio Spurs v Dallas Mavericks

Oklahoma Thunder v Memphis Grizzlies

Los Angeles Clippers v Golden State Warriors

Houston Rockets v Portland Trailblazers

 

Get those predictions in.

Well because I seem like I'm the only one to take part, I'll go for 3 upsets including 8 over 1 in the East and 7 over 2 in the West.

 

Atlanta Hawks in 6
Miami Heat in 5
Toronto Raptors in 7
Washington Wizards in 6
San Antonio Spurs in 4
Memphis Grizzlies in 6
Los Angeles Clippers in 7
Houston Rockets in 5

[David Guiza]

I was out in Miami when Heat were playing Spurs during last years play offs. Very tight, and only some magic from Ray Allen saved Heat in 6, I think it'll be close again, but I fancy Heat in 7

LeBron James: Cleveland Cavaliers return for NBA star

Amazing for Cleveland. Lebron returning to a young core of talented youngsters. Will be interesting to see what they do with their #1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins now. Rumoured that they might trade him for Kevin Love, would leave Cleveland looking at a starting 5 of Irving, Waiters, James, Love, Varejao.. Instant contenders potentially.

Will likely set of a domino effect of trades across the NBA and the end of the Miami Heat, for a while at least.
