The Eastern Conference match-ups are set, and for obvious reasons, they dont look as exciting as the Western match-ups. Here are my picks on who advances through the 1st round in the East.
(1) Boston- (8) AtlantaWinner: Boston in 4. How a team makes the playoffs 8 games below .500 is beyond me. I’ll leave it at that.
(2) Detroit- (7) Philadelphia Winner: Detroit in 5. While the 76′ers have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA coming down the stretch, the playoffs come down to one thing, experience, which the pistons have a lot of and the 6′ers have very little of.
(3)Orlando - (6)TorontoWinner: Toronto in 7. This will be, I believe, the most entertaining series in the East with both teams superstars, Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh leading the way. I think you’ll see a lot of points, in a series that will go the distance.
(4)Cleveland- (5)WashingtonWinner: Cleveland in 6. After the Cavs run to the finals last year, look for them to be hungary again this year and King James will show why he is the most dominant player in the game. As for the Wizards, they just look like a tired team who have ran out of gas.

There shoud be alot of points scored in that Raptors series. Looking like a Celtics and Pistons Conference Final if all goes according to plan. But that is why they play the games!

I’m with you on the Toronto series, I just feel like they can beat this Orlando team and that even if Howard is huge the whole series it won’t be enough.

How about the Pistons losing the opener at home today? Ouch! What a surprise!
