        I think Nuggets have a good shot at beating Lakers....barring a monster performance by Kobe throughout the series, I see Denver taking this one

            atlanta, LAC, Denver

            Utah could keep it close very big tough rebounding team.

              I would love to see the Mavs upset the Thunder.

              Not hating. But they seem to really matchup with OKC well.

                If ray allen doesn't play, hawks sweep celtics.

                  4/5 matchups don't count as upsets.

                  If DAL wakes up and gets into playoff mode, I think they have a shot of upsetting OKC. OKC has some major flaws, and they are going to show this postseason.

                  I think DEN can make things interesting w/ their depth and home court advantage, but in the end I think they'll struggle down the stretch because they don't really have a guy you can give the ball to and get a bucket.

                  UTA probably won't push their series with the Spurs past 5 games, but I think all the games will be fairly competitive.

                    Celtics is a much better team than hawks IMO. Think celtics can pull an upset.

                      A 5 seed beating a 4 seed is not an upset.

                        Nuggets or Knicks. Most upsets probably wont come until the 2nd round

                          don't use ifs with dallas. They stink. They are who they are. Cuban doesn't care this year.

                                    Dallas and Denver. Spurs are overpriced but I still think they will win, might back Utah and if they can take an early lead or something hedge out

                                      If there's a + in front of it, it's an upset.

                                        People love Denver every year and they don't do squat. I would love for them to beat LA but they have no one inside that can handle Gasol and Bynum. They won't beat the Lakers.

                                        Dallas is an interesting pick but I don't think they are nearly as good as they were last year. Last year's team was a lot deeper with Barea, Chandler, and Stephenson. Still yet, they aren't your typical 7 seed and they have given my Thunder problems the past two years. It's definitely a tough first round matchup.

                                          kinda think denver has a real shot i could see them blowing it/ kobe winning it for la very easy tho. think orlando is the best of the longshots, clippers memphis is a pretty even series, i wuld take clippers in exactly 6 if i was going to take them personally. your best to go game by game in nba IMO

                                              4 and 5 seed games do not count. The only one I like is Denver.

                                              1 Chicago in 4
                                              2 Miami in 6
                                              3 Indiana in 6
                                              5 Boston in 7

                                              1 SA in 5
                                              2 OKC in 7
                                              6 Den in 6
                                              5 LAC in 6

                                                  Atl is probably in best position to pull the upset with Ray Allen injured. Maybe Dallas if they can turn it into a grind it out series.
