Playoff Round Two !

We are now down to 8 teams at the 2nd round of the playoffs ! Let's break it down !

Eastern -

Bulls vs Hawks 

The Animal Fight ! 

This season is big for the bulls and the bulls is going run over the hawks for sure. Hawks got lucky with seeding and found the struggling magic. Hawks is a good team but they just ain't good enough for the bulls. The Hawks have to find a way to stop Rose if they wish to win. Else it's not going to happen and with Hinrich down the team needs to play even harder ! Oh, on a sidenote I remember Nelson telling Rose to see them in round 2 of the playoffs.. Looks like they are seeing each other only next season. Sorry Nelson. 

My Pick: Bulls taking the W 4 - 1 

Heats vs Celtics 

Can the Big 2 beat the Big 4 ? 

Celtics was awesome against the Knicks. Never expect them to get the sweep against New York. Heats was lucky to get 76ers as a first round opponent. Look at it this way. Heats has got Big 2 (srsly bosh is not a Big) and the Celtics has got the Big 4. No doubt that Wade and James are one of the best in the business but the team still ain't playing as a full team even after a full regular season. The number of shots their centre, Big Z, Anthony and Howard takes no more than 2 shots per game. They have no confidence at all. They get grap an offensive rebound and still pass it out. It's not going to be too big a problem for the Celtics if the O'neals can come in big. And the Celtics are always playing at a very high level when it comes to Playoffs. 

My Pick: Celtics taking the W 4 - 2

Western -

Lakers vs Mavericks 

How many men do we need to stop Kobe?

It's nothing new for the Lakers to struggle a little in the 1st round of playoffs and neither is it something new for the Mavs to not perform during the playoffs. I can't remember when was the last time Mavs performed half as well as they did compared to their regular season. Kobe might not be finding the bottom of the basket as easy as he wished but Bynum is playing BIG and i mean really BIG in the playoff against the hornets. It's a pretty good match up for the Lakers fan actually.  At least Fisher is playing against J Kidd and not Westbrook or Rondo. (Yet) 

My Pick: Lakers taking the W 4 - 1

Grizzlies vs Thunder

Now which young team will take the W ? 

The battle of the two young up and coming teams ! Thunder as we all know is lead by KD who is the NBA scoring champion and as for the Grizzlies it's no cinderella story for beating the NBA best record's Spurs. 8th seed beating the 1st seed. How about that. The Grizzlies played well and hard in both defense and offense. Will the 8th seed be able to overcome the Thunder ? 

My Pick: Grizzlies taking the W 4 - 2

Can't wait for the 2nd round of the playoff to start ! COMON LAKERS !!!
