Predictions?

IF YA SMEEELLLLLLLLALALLALALLOW...WHAT THE PLAYOFFS...Are Cooking...

[Playmakers]

I haven't posted much during this horrible regular season of a joke by the League.

I think there are going to be some teams who aren't who we thought they were in this 1st round...

OKC is at the top of the list.....I know Dallas will be a heavy underdog but all year long I've felt that Dirk really didn't waiste much energy or time during this lockout season trying to kill himself.

I love the matchups in this series for Dallas and i think you are going to see them crank up the intensity now. I believe Dirk is going to have a monster series vs Ibaka but the guy who i think is going to mak some noise in vs OKC is Brandon Wright. At some point in this series he's going to change the outcome of 1-2 games and I think the Mavs are going to win the series 4-2.

My other picks out west would be

LA in 6 over Denver
Memphis in 7 over LA Clippers
San Antonio in 6 over Utah

But if the Jazz steal one game in San Antonio it wouldn't shock me at all to see them beat the Spurs. I'm still not sold on the Spurs and i think Devin Harris who has always played well vs Tony Parker and Al Jefferson + Milsap tandem is going to cause the Spurs some headaches.
