NBA Playoff Picks - Part 2

Second Round:
Celtics over the Cavs in 6. There’s no need to me to add to the gushing about LeBron, so I’ll get to the point. KG, Pierce and Ray Allen are going to dominate King James’ supporting cast.

Pistons over Orlando in 6. I know it’s not exciting picking chalk, but Detroit and Boston have been considerably better than everyone else in the East this year.

Lakers over Suns in 7. When I think of the matchups up front Gasol v Stoudamire, Bynum v Shaq it’s tough not to take Phoenix, but Kobe is the equalizer and in Game 7 I’ll take him at home to create some last minute magic.

Rockets over Mavs in 6. Tracy McGrady is finally getting out of the first round, so why stop there?

Conference Finals:
Celtics over Pistons in 7. A couple predictions, both teams will win a game on the road, and neither team will sniff a 100 point game.

Lakers over Rockets in 7. Kobe has a dominant big man again. He gets it done with a little help up front.

NBA Finals:
Celtics over Lakers in 6. The Finals that the League is salivating over comes to pass. The Celtics are 25-5 against the West. The Celtics are 31-10 on the road. The Celtics will take a game at Staples Center and take care of business at home.
