Blitzkrieg

I'm a little late on this, but nonetheless...

East

Atlanta vs Boston - Boston in 4
Philadelphia vs Detroit - Detroit in 5
Washington vs Cleveland - Washington in 7
Orlando vs Toronto - Orlando in 6

The only thing worth noting here is that I've taken Washington over LeBron and the Cavs. With Arenas back and playing at a high level, the Wizards have three legit all-stars. LeBron is the best player in the league, but his team is awful.



West

Denver vs LA - LA in 6
Dallas vs New Orleans - New Orleans in 7
San Antonio vs Phoenix - Phoenix in 6
Utah vs Houston - Utah in 6

I like the Nuggets to give LA a little bit of trouble with Iverson and Melo lighting up the scoreboard, but it won't be enough..Denver plays little defense. I don't like where the Spurs are headed right now. I think they're old and they got the worst possible first round match-up, a team that's hungry and in search for revenge. Shaq will be the difference. I like New Orleans over Dallas because the Hornets are a real team.. led by the amazing Chris Paul. Dallas was thrown together and haven't worked out all the kinks yet.
