I think the Spurs end up taking it in a rematch with the Heat. I'd love to see Indiana in there but I've lost all faith in them. Roy Hibbert is horrible and Paul George has become to full of himself. Wouldn't surprise me if they lose in the 2nd.

1st round NBA Playoffs predictions:
-Pacers (1) > Hawks (8) in 4 games Atl is depleted
-Heat (2) > Bobcats (7) in 5 games
-Nets (6) > Raptors (3) in 6 games Nets have more experience
-Wizards (5) > Bulls (4) in 6 games In close games, the Bulls don't have a reliable closer
-Spurs (1) > Mavs (8) in 6 games
-Thunder (2) > Grizzlies (7) in 6 games
-Clippers (3) > Warriors (6) in 6 games Bogut being out hurts GS
-Rockets (4) > Blazers (5) in 7 games game 7 at home- going with Hou

I despise LeBron and enjoy seeing him lose. Plus I think it's nice to see teams that have historically struggled actually amount to something.

Because its better than the Heat? I'd be happy if the Heat lost to the Bobcats.

The chance of the Heat three-peating is about one in two in my mind. They have the best overall chance. It is hard to imagine any team winning the championship outside of Miami, Oklahoma City, L.A. Clippers, San Antonio, and Indiana.

San Antonio probably only got as far as they did last season due to Westbrook being out against Memphis. OKC should still be the favorite in the West. The Clippers are legitimate with the improvement on defense under Doc Rivers- as well as Griffin and Jordan improving all-around. Houston is a pretender.

I'm really looking forward to watching the WC. The first round in the East is probably gonna blow for the most part.

Pierce and Garnett know how to weather the hostile environments.
