MY...NBA Playoff Predictions

Is it 12:30 yet? No? Good. Because before the Toronto Raptors take on the Indiana Pacers for game one, I wanted to post my predictions for this year's NBA Playoffs.

Here there are. I have clean sweeps, like the San Antonio Spurs over the Memphis Grizzlies; which I'd be surprised if Memphis won a game. I see the Cleveland Cavaliers wiping out the Detroit Pistons, quickly. 

Five Game Series: Golden Stats Warriors will take the series in five, because I do think James Harden will help win one in Houston. The Los Angeles Clippers can't have the Portland Blazers take more than one game; the Clippers could sweep. 

Six Games Series: I say the Dallas Mavericks take two from the Oklahoma City Thunder and that's all. I respect Dirk Nowitzki too much to say Dallas will lost this series in five or four. I take the Miami Heat over the Charlotte Hornets in six, because the Hornets are a solid team and Heat aren't unbeatable. And lastly, I take Toronto in six, since I respect Paul George too much to say he'd get embarrassed by getting swept. 

ONE UPSET: The fifth seed Boston Celtics over the four seed Atlanta Hawks, in seven games. I like the Celtics in this series; I wouldn't be surprised if they end the series earlier; maybe in six games. 

Mark my words, the Boston Celtics will be a new team to shine. Some years you see a new young burst upon the scene and become a serious contender for the next four years -- Boston will be that team.
