The second quarter of the Cleveland-Washington game is already under way, so I'd better hurry up and finish this entry:
In the West:
Lakers over Nuggets in 5. I'm feeling kind of generous, so I'll say Denver wins 1 game. But that's it. The problem with the Nuggets is they have a lot of great individual talent (Carmelo, Iverson, Marcus Camby, Nene, JR Smith, Kenyon Martin), but I'm still not convinced that they mesh all that well. It's a fundamentally-flawed, poorly-constructed team.
San Antonio over Phoenix in 7. Like most sane people, I hate watching the Spurs. But you can never bet against them. They're like the Patriots. They never lose; and when they do lose, it's always a shocker.
New Orleans over Dallas in 6. The Mavericks are a bunch of chokers. Chris Paul is gonna mess them up.
Utah over Houston in 6. I'll believe Tracy McGrady advancing past the 1st round when I see it. But before then, I'm always gonna expect his team to lose.
And in the East (as if anyone cares, the Eastern conference is so awful):
Boston over Atlanta in 4. The Hawks are gonna get throttled.
Detroit over Philadelphia in 5. The Sixers are really scrappy, so I could see them eeking out a single win.
Orlando over Toronto in 6. I like Dwight Howard as much as the next guy, and I've considered Rashard Lewis one of the most underrated forwards for years, but I still don't care one bit about this series. I'll tune in if I'm bored.
Washington over Cleveland in 7. I'm tired of hearing about how great LeBron James is. Between Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antawn Jamison, the Wizards are too deep for the Cavs. Other than James, their entire roster stinks.
