IMHO:
Spurs are too consistent. It would really take Dallas some serious effort to overcome them, and that lies not on Nowitzki but more on Ellis, since his production is somewhat inconsistent but crucial.

Rockets? Even if they could somehow beat the Blazers, Harden will kill them with his non-defense.

Clips kill themselves before they got killed. BG lets them hang on the rope, not CP3.

Indiana my oh my...

Nets vs Raptors... that somehow makes two lesser star players (JJ and DeRozan) become heroes. DeRozan got Kobe in him, I mean, the Field Goal...

Sheesh. Gonna have a heart attack soon. 3rd OT game in a row, and KD/WB can't hit the broad side of a barn, and we still come away 2-2 thanks to Reggie Jackson. Those free throws at the end.. ice in his veins.

Told ya I liked Jackson.  Just a bit young and raw.  If the Thunder are going to win it, Ibaka needs to nut up and control the paint more, he a tad too passive out there for my liking.

Furious with Durant. Misses the free throw that would tie it, then with 2.6 seconds left, in the bonus, he decides the best shot is a turn around fade away 3 pointer from 30 feet? WTF? We don't deserve to win this series with that kind of thinking.

Pacers and Thunder really want the Heat to threepeat it seems.

Well, that was definitely the greatest first round ever. I was right on all but 2 series. I expected the Bulls to put up much more fight than they did. So much for defense winning championships. I was hoping the Nets would win to give the Heat a challenge, but didn't think they could get through the Raptors, and they almost didn't.

Semis are:

Spurs vs Blazers
Thunder vs Clips

Pacers vs Wizards
Heat vs Nets

I think the Blazers will win a couple, but eventually be outmatched by experience. - Spurs win

Probably the second most difficult series pick is Clips/Thunder. Both are dangerous fast paced teams. Wouldn't be surprised to see Clips win, but I've gotta be a homer. - Thunder win

Pacers, as I said, hobbled through the first round, but it ends here. The Wizards are playing great and the inconsistency of Indiana will doom them. - Wizards win

I think the season sweep of the Heat is no fluke. The Heat will certainly be competitive, but here is where I pick them to fall. Surely to go at least 6 if not 7 games. - Nets win

Really didn't expect all the top seeds to advance, especially the Pacers.

Heat vs Thunder in my finals, it's destiny.

Destiny wants a Spurs/Heat rematch so we can all cry at the spectacle and change channels to the Voice or whatever people watch these days.

From one of the most exciting first rounds ever to an absolutely horrid display of amateur streetball in the second round.  Horrible.  I'm stunned at the lack of growth and maturity by Westbrook and Durant in how they've responded to the playoffs.  They look like it's their first time.  I understand it more coming from the Pacers but not the Thunder.

I just want to watch the lottery at this point.

Doh, Ibaka out for the season.  Thunder are likely fucked.  Frickin' Spurs Heat rematch and Parker is hurt again.  I can't bare to watch a Heat 3 peat.
