LA Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets 4:2

Lakers are Bynum-less; however, they have enough talent to win the series.  AI will win one game for Denver, as he usually does in playoffs. Denver will win another one on the back of Carmelo buy-me-a-drink-and-I-will-drive-home Anthony.

NO Hornets vs. Dallas Mavericks 3:4

This is the close one.  Both teams have a good chance of winning; however, Hornets are not an experienced playoff team and Peja Stojakovic has a history, well documented in Sacramento, of not showing up in important games and that is why the edge goes to Dallas.  It will be a nice redemption for the Mavericks to win the first round as a number seven seed as they lost last year as a number one seed...

San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns 3:4

With the last game day of regular season approaching, the path for the Utah Jazz to the repeat showing at the Western Conference Finals goes through San Antonio.  In order for the Jazz to secure the easiest way into the Western Finals, Utah should lose to the Spurs.  With Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns winning, this will not allow the Jazz to have a home court advantage; however, Utah would rather lose that advantage in order to avoid the Spurs all the way to the Western Finals.  The Jazz beat the Rockets on the road last year and it seems that it will be even easier this year.  The next round might involve the Hornets or the Lakers.  The Jazz beat the Hornets three to one this season and Chris Paul cannot, for some unknown reason, beat Deron Williams in head-to-heads.  The Lakers might be a little harder, but Utah will get the job done, which will not be the case against thte Spurs.

It is that time, the time all of us have been waiting for, the greatest time of all  - time to shut up and go home Warriors.  Since the All Star break everyone in San Francisco area keeps complaining of how unfair it was for B. Davis not be be an All Star - wake up people!!!  The man cannot lead his team to the playoffs....ever heard of Deron Williams?  Yep, the same one who ran all over the Warriors in the playoffs last year on his way to the Conference Finals.  The same one who lead the Jazz to another division title.  The same one who also DID NOT get into the All Star game and the same one who DOES NOT complain like a little girls about it.  Goodbye Warrios and have a great summer.
