Celtics over Bulls in 5 Cavaliers over Pistons in 6 Bucks over Raptors in 7 Wizards over Hawks in 6 Warriors over Blazers in 5 Spurs over Grizzlies in 7 Rockets over Thunder in 7 Jazz over Clippers in 6 Finals: Warriors over Celtics in 6 I know Detroit screwed Indiana in the Malice in the Palace, but pushing them out of the 7th seed is going overboard. But at least they get 2 from Cleveland. I'm pissed. Was really looking forward to the Cavs having to face a Heat team that went 30-11 over the last half or a healthy Bulls team that swept them, followed by the Wizards, maybe, Instead they get the Pacers (Pistons) and then either Toronto or Atlanta, 2 teams that run scared from them.

I wont be shocked if GS wins, but damn youre all saying Boston gonna beat Cleveland? I get it, f*k Lebron, but I dont see them not going to the finals. They got the best thing that could happen, gets to avoid Bulls/Heat and face the Pacers, they got a easy path folks.

I am surprised at the number of Boston picks. The Cavs seem to wipe the floor with them pretty easily, so I think they'll get to the conference finals, but I think the Cavs will beat them (and then lose to either the Spurs or Warriors).

Ray Allen says his 2008 Celtics would beat his 2013 Heat. Cohesiveness and coaching strategies were better.

Bucks up 1-0 against Toronto. Thon Maker's run of blocks at the start of the 2nd half really sealed that game.

Gobert looks like he may be out for the playoffs. They stole game 1, though.

If (4)LAC beats (5)UTA it'll be the 6th time since the current playoff format (1984) in which all 8 higher seeds advanced. The first time since 2008.

My Wizards pick is starting to shape up. Still hope GS wins, though.
