NBA Playoffs 2008

[Joe]

Who do you think will win this year? Playoffs is very exciting coz it's very unpredictable! Almost all teams are tough!

My opinion:

West Round 1
Lakers vs. Nuggets = Lakers in 6 games becoz of Pau Gasol.
Hornets vs. Mavs = Mavs in 7 games becoz of Jason Kidd's physical advantage over Paul.
Spurs vs. Suns = I like Spurs but I think Suns will win this time in 6 games becoz of Shaq. Spurs weakness is Shaq.
Jazz vs. Rockets = Rockets will win if Battier and Rafer Alston are not injured. Since they are out I think Jazz will win it in 5 games.

West Round 2
Lakers vs. Jazz = Lakers in 5 games becoz Lakers is too powerhouse for the Jazz.
Mavs vs. Suns = Hard to judge but I think Suns will win this is in 6 games becoz of Shaq and Amare. Mavs still has a chance.

West Finals
Lakers vs. Suns = Kobe and Shaq meeting in the playoffs for the 1st time! I think will win this in 6 games becoz of Steve Nash.
If Lakers vs. Mavs = Lakers will take this in 6 games. No one can handle Kobe and Pau.

East Round 1
Celtics vs. Hawks = There will be no upset. Upset is impossible! Boston will win this in 4 games.
Pistons vs. Sixers = Pistons in 5 games. Their discipline of course will make them win.
Magic vs. Raptors = Raptors in 5 games. Howard is powerful than Bosh but Raptors has the system and fundamentals to win the series against Magic.
Cavs vs. Wizards = Cavs in 5 games. Lebron would be the main reason but he will win it together with his team.

East Round 2
Celtics vs. Cavs = Cavs in 6 games! If there is a team that can take on Celtics that's the Cavs! Celtics still has the chance.
Pistons vs. Raptors = Raptors in 6 games. I just feel it.

East Finals
Cavs. Raptors = Cavs in 7 games. No one can matchup against Lebron
If Celtics vs. Raptors = Boston in 5 games. I don't think Raptors can take the big 3.

NBA Finals
Lakers vs. Cavs = Cavs in 6 games. Lebron's unselfishness will make them win against Kobe.
If Lakers vs. Celtics = Nice classic matchup! Celtics in 6 games! Lakers still has the chance.

Awards:
MVP = Chris Paul
Most Defensive Player = Dwight Howard
ROY = Kevin Durant
Sixth Man = Manu Ginobili for sure
Most Improved Player = Calderon
Coach of the year = Rick Adelman

I would be putting a poll once the teams on the playoffs are down to 8.
