So the Celtics can't beat the Hawks...whatever. It actually won't change my pick for the next round whether they do or not, but it might change the number of games I pick them in.
So let's just go with the ones we know.
West Semi 1
Lakers(1) v. Jazz (5)
Frankly, the Lakers are just too good for the Jazz. I really believe in all my heart that the west comes down to the Lakers or Spurs. And with news that Kobe is in fact the MVP of the league, I think he will play with an extra bounce in his step. I am going to go with the Lakers in 5. They take both home games to start, then take one game in Utah, and close it out in LA. But all the games will be fun, I just think the Lakers are too good in the end.
West Semi 2
Hornets (2) v. Spurs (3)
This should actually be kinda fun. Experience versus youth, Tony versus Paul, all sorts of good stuff going on. But here, unlike in the first round against Phoenix, I actually think the Spurs are the better team. Not to mention, more experienced. But do not be fooled. The Hornets are an incredible basketball team, I just think the Spurs window is not quite closed yet. I think the Spurs take game 1 in NO, then take both in San Antonio next weekend, and close it out in 6 back in San Antonio. GO SPURS GO!
East Semi 2
Pistons (2) v. Magic (3)
Now...I am not really sure what to say about the Magic, because I didn't watch any of their first round games, because they were all on NBAtv, which I find funny! But none-the-less, they are an incredible team with a great big man. But I think the Pistons have figured out that teams are not just going to give it to them, and that their window is even smaller than the Spurs, even if not as small as the Suns. The Pistons bounce back and get the Magic in 5 or 6. I will take 6.
