    None of the 6/7/8s will beat 1/2/3s.

    4/5s are a possibility but that's not an upset.

    Games should be decent but don't see any surprises in round 1.

    East should be straight chalk (excluding the BOS/ATL).

    If Dallas gets their act together, I think they have a chance to pull the upset, but I doubt it. If Westbrook plays like he has lately, then OKC could be in trouble. Watching OKC lose to the two LA teams the past couple of weeks, there are some glaring holes in this OKC team. If OKC's outside shots aren't falling, they have no chance. They are strictly a jump shooting team. Dallas still has the experience over OKC.

    I think Denver could give LAC some problems with their depth, but they have no "finisher" who you can give the ball to in the 4th quarter.

          Chicago can beat Phili in 5 games w/o Rose.

            Thunder should get past Dallas with ease. Their problem will be with LA, assuming the Lakers get past Denver.

            I don't see Denver beating the Lakers but it would not surprise me if it happened. Denver homecourt advantage is always a big advantage and they are a bad matchup for LA with their athleticism and run n gun style.

                    I guess I am only guy that likes Clippers. Bulls in 5, Heat in 5, Pacers in 4 (that's right!), Celtics in 6, Spurs in 4, Thunder in 5, Lakers in 7 (only series going distance), Clippers in 6

                        Not many people watch the Pacer's or even know 7 of their player's. Don't judge If Grizz perimeter defense can shut down Paul, Clippers gonna be in trouble BIG TIME!

                          Don't underestimate the Clippers defense, they stepped up down the stretch.

                            I never underestimated the Clipper's D, I'm merely saying if Paul ain't ticking and he decides to pass off alot the Grizz perimeter D is gonna eat up Williams, Bledsoe, Foye and Young shit even Butler ain't gonna do much with Gay in his face

                              Pacers will sweep Orlando.

                              Jazz will lose in no more than 5 but i think Utah is a good bet ATS in that series.
