Lebron want be tired for this series.

Cleveland v Chicago will go to Cleveland. All I have to say about this series is Lebron James rested the last few weeks of the season. Chicago will get to play against a well rested Lebron James. Derrick Rose will be fun to watch and I like the way Noah battles in the paint, but Cleveland’s bench is much better and deeper.  What more can I say the Cav’s have the King and Chicago has a Prince (Rose) The King will out duel the Prince and move to the next round.

Charlotte versus Orlando goes to Orlando. Charlotte will play them tough but nobody on Charlotte can handle Dwight Howard D Hulk as I call him. Charlotte does play great defense but Orlando has invested to much to lose in the first round. It will be interesting to see how Vince plays in the first round.  Excited about Charlotte being in the playoffs being a Carolina girl but Orlando will win the series. (Unless  of course Jordan suits up I don’t see them winning).

When he went down the Bucks going far in the playoffs went right with him

Bucks versus Hawks series goes to dem ATL Boys. Atlanta  is playing great right now. You gotta love the way  Johnson, Crawford, Smith and Hofford have matured this season. The Bucks have had a great season and unless the rookie Jennings can come with a  55point game they are done. Without the injured Bogut , I just can’t see them winning.

He's the third best player in the league and steps up even more in the playoffs

Miami versus Boston series goes to Miami. I’m say this because Miami is playing great basketball going into the playoffs and the Celtics aren’t and havent all season. Boston has more experience and more veterans and any other time I would give the series to them. This year Boston hasn’t shown any veteran experience leadership or passion for winning. It seems they just stumbled into the playoffs. Rondo is going to have to play like an ALL-STAR every game for them to have a chance. If the Vets on the team don’t wake up and get that drive back they will be going home early.  Miami on the other hand is playing like a team on a mission and they are really coming together . They also have the next best player behind Lebron James and Kobe to me and that’s Dwayne Wade. D Wade is the only reason i’m watching this series and the main reason Miami will move on to the next round.

Okay I’ve been waiting all season for the NBA playoffs to start. So I’m here in Turkey  playing in my own playoffs missing out on the NBA action.   I’m disappointed I want get to watch the three amigos, Ernie, Kenny and Charles on TNT. So I came up with my own NBA playoff preview. STARTING OUT WEST!

First Round of the NBA Playoffs OKC against LAL will go to LA. LA can come into the series not playing their  best and will still win. They have more experience and talent  on and off the court. Yes Kevin Durant is awesome and leading the league in scoring, but his team is young and inexperienced.  Kobe Bryant on the other hand  is Kobe and there is no need to say more. (okay Lebron James) Well one more thing I don’t think Ron Artest is better for the team then Houston’s  Trevor Ariza. Ariza’s game flourished in his role with the Lakers while Artest game seems alittle malnourished.  It’s no fun just playing defense and watching Kobe is it Ron Ron?  LA is in trouble if they are really depending on him to make it back to the finals. The Boston Celtics made the same mistake after they won the championship. They didnt t sign James Posey back it really hurt their backcourt.  They still haven’t recovered.

SA Dallas series will go  either way. Tim Duncan of the Spurs will find himself again and is the type of player that will step up despite the regular season. If he doesn’t show up GINNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOBLI  as  Barkley from TNT would say will razzle and dazzle you. Dirk  for the Mavericks is great and fun to watch but I hope he attacks the basket more in the playoffs. He only did that when he was coached by Avery Johnson his last time in the playoffs. It worked and made Dallas a much tougher team. (It’s the playoffs Dirk get  in the paint and your team has a much better chance to move on).

Portland versus Phoenix series will go to Phoenix who is playing great basketball. Steve Nash is still the same Steve Nash (Great) . Also Stoudemire has been unstoppable after  the All-Star break. I don’t know if it was the trade rumors or the fact Cleveland chose Jamison over him.  Either way no one can stop him now,  not  even Portaland. Congrats to  Portland though for  making it to the playoffs despite all the injuries.

Utah versus Denver series will go to Denver. I think Denver has the edge though because of  Utah’s injuries. Carmelo has plans to get married after the playoffs are over.  His play  will determine whether he wants to go on his honeymoon sooner rather than later. (I aint saying I’m just saying) Besides Carmelo, the only other matchup to look for is at the pt guard position. Billups and Williams going at each other in a teacher versus pupil battle.
