NBA Playoff Predictions... with minimal commentary

(just a thought... but if defense wins playoff games, Kyle Korver may not be getting many minutes this year)

Eastern Conference

Boston over Atlanta (4-0)
Detroit over Philadelphia (4-1)
Orlando over Toronto (4-3) (but, let's be honest, it doesn't matter who wins, because either teams is getting killed by Detroit)
Washington over Cleveland (4-2)

Boston over Washington (4-2)
Detroit over Orlando (4-1)

Boston over Detroit (4-2)

Wow. That was boring.

Biggest Upset threat: Cleveland. If LeBron proved nothing last year is that he can basically win a conference all by himself. I'm just worried about his back, otherwise, I would've picked Cleveland to win the conference.

Western Conference

LAL over Denver (4-1)
Dallas over New Orleans (4-3)
San Antonio over Phoenix (4-3)
Utah over Houston (4-1)

LAL over Utah (4-3)
San Antonio over Dallas (4-1)

LAL over San Antonio (4-3)

Biggest Upset threat: Utah, if they can somehow get it together and win a couple of road games. They can play shoot, play defense, and they have a couple of guys (Boozer and Williams) who can take over games.

Boston over LAL (4-2) only because the West is going to be an absolute slog to get through...
