Letters and Numbers

(If I had a radio show an instrumental of Dynamite by I forget who would play here)

Honestly, I see no possibilities for upsets this year. Ever since round 1 went up to seven games we've hardly seen anything here, and even though my gut says "PICK BUTLER" I see no reason why the 1-4 seeds shouldn't advance in routine fashion.

I don't want to sound like another detractor from the Spurs. The Spurs are an amazing team and absolutely deserve their #1 seed. I just think this upset - yes, it's an upset - will happen. The Thunder have an incredible team with firepower like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and they reloaded at the trade deadline with pickups like Nate Robinson... and others...  yeah I'm taking the Thunder in seven here.

Two 4's over 1's? I must have been brainwashed from the NCAA's. There is NO WAY that the Magic lose in round one, and I think they have a good shot with six-time Player of the Week Dwight Howard (that's the most out of anyone this year) as well as hot three point shooter Jameer Nelson and loads of talent. (PS, the Magic are my team so this is massively biased. But if it makes you feel better I use the Bulls on NBA 2k11, not with updated rosters since my Live ran out two months ago. /tangent) Anyway, like the Spurs, the Bulls will fall here.

We anticipated from the beginning that the Heat would have chemistry problems. Even though the Celtics had their Big Three win a title in their first year, the Heat don't have the backup like the Celtics did in Rondo, Davis, and others. Nobody else has stepped up to the plate for the Heat, so I see another conference final for the Celtics.

Three peat number four for the Zen Master! The Lakers will defeat the Thunder in the West and the Celtics will take down the Magic in the East. Then I foresee another seven game classic where the Lakers take it at the very end. And the MVP? Pau Gasol.
