NBA Semi-Finals Predictions

Back for more predictions! Surprise surprise. The West had two upsets for me: First, the obvious and biggest upset in the history of the NBA, the Mavs losing out to the Warriors. Second, the Rockets losing closely to Utah. After all their struggles and injuries i thought this year they could finally go deep into the playoffs. Poor T-Mac. He really did put up a lot of effort to get over his first round curse. On the other hand, the East had 3 sweeps!!!! I only predicted one!!!! Oh well at least i got the winning teams right. No upsets there. Now on to the.....



EASTERN CONFERENCE

CAVALIERS 4 v NETS 2

No sweeps this time. A real test for the Cavs but overall i think they have more depth than Nets to have any trouble with this one. The Cavs are really lucky not to face Pistons in the second round so this is probably their best chance to move into the Eastern Conference finals. But the Nets are an experienced team and Kidd/Jefferson/Carter should be good enough to pull back a game or two.

PISTONS 4 v BULLS 1

Its a bit too late for this one cause the Pistons are already up by 2 as we speak. Its not my fault they started this game before the Jazz-Rockets series ended! Anyways judging from the dominant performance by the Pistons in the first two games i don't see them having any trouble finishing the young Bulls. Bulls should be able to pull one back at home but i won't be surprised to see a sweep here.



WESTERN CONFERENCE

JAZZ 3 v WARRIORS 4

The Warriors sure played a heck of a first round, but the Jazz is no walk in the path. The Warriors lacked the intensity they had in the first round and closely lost to the Jazz. But knowing the Warriors i think they will fight back and will grab this series (im biased i dont want such a miracle postseason for them to end in an unfairytalelike manner) Jazz are an equally tough team so it could go either way in game 7.

SUNS 4 v SPURS 3

Another one that could go either way. Fast v slow. Offense v defense. Me v Nick. =)
