NBA First Round Predictions

Eastern Conference Playoff Predictions:

Chicago vs Boston
Boston will come out of the gate slow and lose Game 1 but the Celtics will get things in gear after that and win in 5.

Celtics in 5

Cleveland vs Indiana
Cavs will start their Title defence with a semi easy four game sweep over the Indiana Pacers

Cavaliers in 4

Toronto vs Millwaukkee
Raptors return stronger with more experience. I'm pulling for a upset in this series but I don't see it happening.

Raptors in 6

Washington vs Atlanta

The Wizards captured their first Division Title in almost forever. They will reward their fans with a exciting series win.

Wizards in 6


Western Conference Predictions:

Golden State vs Portland

A 67 win team would be almost outstanding for the 29 other teams, for Golden State, it feels like their underaching. The Warriors depth will be tested against a Portland team that will be out for some revenge in a series that Game 4 was the tipping point last year. If Golden State stays healthy they should have no problem in the first round.

Warriors in 6

San Antonio vs Memphis
The two teams played last year when Memphis limped out by getting swept. Memphis has a better chance this time around but are still massive underdogs. Will be important for Memphis to still have a meaningful Game 4 however that feels like a stretch at times despitee playing the Spurs tough in the regular season.

Spurs in 5

Houston vs Oklahoma City

My upset special in the first round. Russell Westbrook is my MVP and on some nights its not even close. Houston will be in trouble if they don't play well at home.

Thunder in 6

LA vs Utah

82 games weren't enough to separate these two teams as they finished with symmetrical 51-31 records. This Best of seven should be fun and might be the best series of them all.

Clippers in 7
