Well my Pacers made it in, but it will be gone fishin, shortly, as Im sure now that its playoff time, the Cavs will get their act together.

I think the Celtics and Cavs meet in the EC finals, with the Cavs winning in a long hard fought series.

If I were to pick a 1st rd upset, It would be the Bucks beating the Raptors. Until last yr the Raptors had their issues being able to win in the playoffs, so it wouldnt surprise me to see them choke against the Bucks. I wouldnt bet the farm on it by any means, but it I had to pick a shocking upset in the EC, it would be this series,

I'm an OKC fan first, then a Celtics fan. This first round matchup with the Bulls really concerns me. I would much rather see the Celtics playing the Pacers. Rondo, of all people, can hold a grudge, and if he can slow down IT, things will get interesting. I also think the Bucks can put a scare into Toronto, but Milwaukee needs to learn how to close games. Overall though, the East, like usual, is very top heavy.

Here we go:

(1) Celtics over (8) Bulls in 6
(2) Cavs over (7) Pacers in 5
(3) Raptors over (6) Bucks in 7
(5) Hawks over (4) Wizards in 6

(1) Celtics over (5) Hawks in 7
(2) Cavs over (3) Raptors in 6

(2) Cavs over (1) Celtics in 7
