    I think the Bulls will steal one game at the Q, then win another one at the United Center.

    My predictions....

    The East:

    #1 - Cleveland vs. #8 - Chicago
    OK, to be honest, THIS Is the difference between a first round seed clinchin two weeks ago, and a team that got in on the last day of the season. LeBriz has been resting since late March it seems like, and Shaq is now back in the line-up. The Bulls had to fight off Toronto just to get here. This really won't be much of a series, which is a shame, cause Vinny Del ? did a great job with this Bulls team, given the ? he had to endure with GM John Paxson. Fire HIM. Let Vinny be. Anyways, Cavs Sweep.

    #2 - Orlando vs. #7 - Charlotte
    Ya know, it's ALWAYS nice to see new blood in the playoffs. So, congrads to the now-MJ owned Bobcats. So, now they face the defending Eastern Conference Champs, who seem to have more to prove this year than last year's improbable run. I anticipate high energy by both teams, but two Orlando blow-outs in Games 1 & 2, followed by Charlotte re-grouping for Game 3, behing Captain Jack and Gerald Wallace. Ultimately, Orlando moves on without much of a fight. But this is merely a stepping stone for MJ's cats. They'll be a force...soon. Just not now. Magic in 5.

    #3 - Atlanta vs. #6 - Milwaukee
    See last series for new blood comment. Just swap Charlotte for Milwaukee. The sensational rookie Brandon Jennings gets his first taste of the postseason against the now-veteran Hawks squad. However, Milwaukee's at a SEVERE disadvantage, with star Center Andrew Bogut out for the season. That would've made this series a candidate to go the distance, dueling with the likes of Josh Smith, Joe Johnson and the VERY underrated Al Horsford. Instead, it'll be a high scoring affair with the Hawks moving on. Hawks in 6.

    #4 - Boston vs. #5 - Miami
    *Sighs* I STILL don't understand how Boston slid down to #4. They're starting to remind me of the Spurs - thinking they can slack off during the season, then turn it on in the postseason. I think that will burn them in the end...just not this round. Unfortunately, Miami STILL hasn't learned from last year, relying 95% on Wade to win them everything. It didn't work last year against the Hawks, it dayum sure won't work against the Big Three. C'mon Mario, Beasley...SOMEONE help the man out. Ah, skip it. Boston in 6.

    Now, the West:

    #1 - Los Angeles vs. #8 - Oklahoma City
    You see, we KNEW there was a good reason to get that franchise out of Seattle. In just only the 2nd year of existance, behind NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, they're reached the postseason, which was totally unexpected out of them. Unfortunately, they draw the defending NBA Champion Lakers, who've actually been on a bit of a slide. No, no one's that crazy to think the Thunder has actually got a shot to win, but this WILL be fun to watch Kobe and Durant duel it out. Lakers in 5.

    #2 - Dallas vs. #7 - San Antonio
    Here we go again. The old Texas two-step. Last year, Dallas pulled off a bit pf an upset, knocking off the higher-seeded Spurs. The scary thing is, they're LIGHT YEARS better than that Mavs team. No upsets here. With Duncan on the decline, Tony Parker still not in "game shape" and Dirk at the height of his peak, Dallas knows they're probably not get anymore opportunites for a title, so this is the first step to getting back to the Finals. Dallas in 5, maybe 6.

    #3 - Phoenix vs. #6 - Portland
    Well, I must say I'm impressed at Phoenix. No way, I'd thought they make the number #3 spot. So, they draw the Wounded Blazers, and I mean WOUNDED. Przybilla and Greg Oden have been shut down since like Thanksgiving, Brandon Roy is probably not going to play....man. That sucks, cause this would've been a LOCK for seven high energy games. Oh well, I guarantee Amare dunks on Juwan Howard at least three times in the series as Phoenix rolls on. Suns in 5.

    #4 - Denver vs. #5 - Utah
    And here is where the Nuggets crash landed. After pretty much challenging the Lakers all year, Melo and the gang let their guard down over the last 15 games of the season. Now they get their Northwest divisional rivials, who are still amazingly good at home and amazingly bad everywhere else. The Nuggets want another shot at the Lakers, but they got to go though Deron Williams, ? , and Okur to get it. And they will...after they stop taking the Jazz lightly. This goes the distance, with the home prevailing. Nuggets in 7.
