My 1st Round picks:
East - LeBron's over Pistons 4-1
Hawks over Celtics 4-3
Pacers over Raptors 4-3
Heat over Hornets 4-3

West - Warriors over Rockets 4-0
Clippers over Blazers 4-2
Spurs over Grizzlies 4-0
Thunder over Mavs 4-1
-There is usually at least 1 or 2 upsets every season in Round 1. I cant see any of the lower seeds winning in the West but I am picking the Pacers over the Raptors in 7. The Hawks/Celtics, Heat/Hornets series could go either way as well but I went with the higher seeds in those. Could the Warriors and Spurs have it any easier? Man the Grizzlies are the walking wounded and have Gasol and Conley out, the Rockets just stink and will be roadkill for Curry!

Unfortunately I may change my Hawks/Celtics pick and take the C's in 6. Man I hate the Celtics but there is always upsets in the 1st Round and I can see this being 1 of them. I haven't decided yet. Playoffs don't start until Saturday so I will think about it. I don't trust the Hawks after last season's flop vs LeBron's

I'll stick with these 1st Round predictions. I thought about changing the Hawks/Celtics because I could see the Hawks losing 1 in Atlanta then the Celtics going nuts at home but hopefully the Hawks can play with the fire the Celtics do. Hawks have more talent but Brad Stevens teams scare me, his guys always go out and play 110% and Isiah Thomas is no joke!

I get to watch the Dubs-Wreckets series and root for Dwight and Beardy to GO DOWN HARD, what a phony franchise right now. Fired McHale and Dwight's been mailing it in for days now. The way this WCP goes may very well determine who's going to want to come to LA now that Kobe is gone.

Pacers take Game 1 on the road. Paul George 33 Points, 6 Assists. 1st Pacer player since Jalen Rose (2000 NBA Finals) to go for 30 and 5 in a Playoff game.

Rockets = Roadkill for the mighty Warriors. Enjoyable day so far = Pacers won, Warriors up 29 over Dwight Clown with 3 minutes left, and my Cubs won to go to 9-2. Cubs have a 3 game lead over the Cards already in the Division, 4 over the Pirates! Pacers stealing Game 1 on the road was huge. Paul George is back baby!

Absolutely perfect day! Cubs won to go 9-2 - up 3 games already in the Division, Pacers won Game 1 on the road as a huge underdog, Warriors beat the shit out of the Rockets, Hawks beat the Celtics, and the Thunder are now rolling. I have had a GREAT week of sports after Kobe's 60 and the Lakers win on Wednesday and now today's games.

Yeah the Dubs should petition Stern to go back to the best-of-5 format after today's drubbing.
