EASTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Miami
(8) New Jersey
I think NJ will take the series in a shocking surprise to everyone who predicted the Heat. The Nets have won 15 of 18 and with RJ in the lineup, the team is much improved.
(4) Chicago
(5) Washington
Chicago, only because I like this young blood talent line-up and its good to see a former perennial playoff team back in the mix. I just wish the Knicks would take notes from the Bulls on how to rebuild a franchise.
(3) Boston
(6) Indiana
Boston. I think the combo of Walker and Pierce will step up in the playoffs, but will "most likely" get eliminated in the next round.
(2) Detroit
(7) Philadelphia
Detroit. Philly has not clicked all season, and I doubt they will now.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Phoenix
(8) Memphis
PHX.
(4) Dallas
(5) Houston
Houston because the Rockets are on a hot streak.
(3) Seattle
(6) Sacramento
Toss-up. I'm going with Sac though because they have the experience.
(2) San Antonio
(7) Denver
A healthy Tim Duncan will take the Spurs to the Conference finals at the very least.
