NBA First round playoff Upsets/Sweeps. Post em here.

[Tommy Karate]

In the West, I have the Grizz beating the Thunder.

In the East, I have the Nets beating the Raptors.

Sweeps?

Rockets sweep the Blazers
Pacers sweep the Hawks. I think the Pacers would sweep the Hawks even if they played all 7 games.

Upsets - Portland over Houston...great size, PG and swingman - plus fading the clown howard on the big stage
Washington over Chicago....star guard (see stef curry 2013) beats the well coached team. I didnt realize Wash plays pretty good defense (99ppg)
BK over Nets isnt an "upset"....favored in the series

No sweeps...
grizz beat OKC w/o westbrook last year....going 6/7, but OKC wins.

Anyone whose said Rockets are sweeping are crazy.. one of the furthest from happening

For round 1 I got Raps over Nets.. love how Lowry and Derozan play, some may be overvaluing the veteran thing.. the spread at +150 sealed it, I see it as pretty even with very slight edge to Tor mainly cause of HC

and Wiz over Bulls at +175.. I think it's even again, DJ going to have to score his ass off, straight up I would say Bulls but the line for Wiz too nice

Very confident at least one of those will hit. Also it wouldn't surprise me too much if the Grizz can upset OKC but don't feel strongly enough about it to bet.. see it going 6 games

Memphis is real easy

Toronto beating Nets is not an upset though

At +150 that's an upset but looks like the lines evened out more again towaed the tip

ya cuz the regular season matters so much

This is a very ignorant statement

Brooklyn loses to Toronto. Karma.

Yes Brooklyn could still win this series but I will bet you they didn't count on being down 3-2 to a team that they wanted to play while the bulls could not score 80 in a close out game.
