Eastern Conference

Cavaliers vs Bulls: Cavs in 4. Not much to be said.

Magic vs Bobcats: Magic in 5. Charlotte is very tough at home, so I don’t think they’ll be swept. But they really have no answer for Dwight.

Hawks vs Bucks: Hawks in 5. This would have been interesting had Andrew Bogut not gotten injured. Milwaukee was very hot for a stretch in the second half of the season. But now they just don’t have enough offensive balance or options, and they won’t be able to hang with Atlanta on the boards.

Celtics vs Heat: Heat in 7. I know that Miami has very little going on outside of Dwyane Wade, but Boston is in a bad place right now. My gut tells me the Heat will somehow pull out a closely fought series.

Western Conference

Lakers vs Thunder: Lakers in 6. Oklahoma City, and Kevin Durant in particular, creates matchup problems for LA. But the Lakers just have too much.

Mavericks vs Spurs: Mavericks in 7. This is going to be one hell of a series. San Antonio is still trying to work Tony Parker back into the rotation, though, and I think they haven’t exactly figured out how much he can give them.

Suns vs Trail Blazers: Suns in 4. Without Roy, expect Portland to be blown out by a scorching Phoenix squad.

Nuggets vs Jazz: Nuggets in 7. What has happened to Denver? Was Kenyon Martin really that important to them? But Carlos Boozer is just day-to-day, which would bode poorly for Utah’s chances.
