I usually am pretty confident that there will be an upset in the first round of the NBA playoffs with a nice pay out. This year, I don't see any big upsets occurring and I like the big favorites to advance.
Get my daily game picks on twitter @swicatsides
Here are my first round predictions:
Heat over Milwaukee in 5- I think the Bucks will win game 4 at home as they Heat will be a bit bored after rolling through the 1st 3 games.
OKC over Houston in 6. This series will be a little tougher than most expect. The pressure is all on OKC and Houston has the ability to get hot and win a few games.
Knicks over Boston in 7- This will be a tough series for both teams. The knicks have the talent but Boston has the savvy. I like Boston in game to certainly cover and likely win and then for the knicks to fight back from there and eventually win the series.
Spurs over Lakers in 6- The Spurs are not hitting on all cylinders and will be challenged by the Lakers who are surprisingly confident. The Spurs will pull it together but it won't be easy.
Nuggets over Warriors in 6- This should be a fun series, both teams should win at home initially and Nuggs have the coaching edge and will figure out how to win a road game to finish the series off.
Pacers over Hawks in 5- The Hawks are just not as good as there talent indicates. The pacers are focused and despite a sluggish end to the regular season, they will be focused for the playoffs and dispatch the Hawks easily.
Bulls over Nets in six- The coaching edge is huge for the Bulls in this one. The Nets playoff inexperience will catch up to them as the Bulls will be constantly adjusting and figuring out how to win this series and the Nets despite having the talent edge will be playing catch up.
Clippers over Memphis in 7- This should be the most competitive series as both teams dislike each other. I think home court advantage in game 7 will be the difference/
