This may be the worst first round of the NBA playoffs I can remember in terms of matchups. Of all the lower seeds, I think Memphis at a 5 is the only one who even has a shot at winning a series. I like Chicago because they're doing it without their best player, and with Noah hurt, but I don't think they can really beat Brooklyn 4 times. Hopefully someone will surprise me and create some drama
Miami > Milkwaukee - 4 game sweep. probably going to get ugly
New York > Boston - 6 games. paul pierce will pull some magic in boston for one or two games, but melo is on a ridiculous roll right now
Indiana > Atlanta - 5 games...atlanta is the same team they've been for about 4 years. they just can't compete with the better teams
Brooklyn > Chicago - 7 games. chicago is really banged up yet they keep playing well
OKC > Houston - 4 games
San Antonio > Lakers - 5 games. I just want next season to start already...
Denver > Golden State - 4 games. I would have said 6 games until David Lee got hurt in game 1. Golden State's done without him
Memphis > Clippers - 7 games. I was originally going to say Memphis in 5, but it appears the Clippers have beat them twice at home already. Not very confident on this pick, but I'm sticking with it
