I really do hope that the Pistons and Celtics meet in the East finals, they are 2 of the most evenly (good) matched teams that I've seen in a while. Each has something the other doesn't, and each have their own flaws, both have coaches who have a lot to "prove". Should be an awesome series if they both make it there.

OK....here we go. I haven't been this excited about the playoffs since Shaq left town, so just for fun, I'll take a crack a predicting each one of the first round series.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Lakers vs. (8) Nuggets
The star power alone in this series should make it a blast to watch. Kobe, Gasol, Carmelo and Iverson in a seven-game series? The ratings for this should be gigantic. I think the Nuggets will present a bigger challenge to the Lakers than most people think. I wouldn't be surprised if they win one of the first two games at Staples Center. But defense tends to decide a long series, and the Nuggets don't play any. Lakers in six.
(4) Utah vs. (5) Houston
Houston has home court in this series, but it won't matter. Utah is too big and too physical for the Rockets, especially without Yao Ming and Rafer Alston. Jazz in five.
(2) New Orleans vs. (7) Dallas
This will be a great series. Dallas has playoff-tested guys who live for this stuff. New Orleans is a wild card, having never been here before (at least not with Chris Paul). Still, I'm taking the Hornets. I've been waiting all year for New Orleans to fold, and they just haven't. This is the hardest series to pick....but I'm taking the Hornets in seven.
(3) San Antonio vs. (6) Phoenix
A blockbuster....the best match-up of the entire first round. You can flip a coin here, because anything can happen. I really think Phoenix can pull the upset here, but when you consider the Spurs' coach, their defense, their history, and the home court--I'm taking San Antonio, in seven. I'll add this: if Phoenix has a chance to win this series in game six, they better deliver the knockout. There is no way they win a game seven in Texas.
EASTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Celtics vs. (8) Hawks
One word: sweep. Celtics in four.
(4) Cleveland vs. (5) Washington
The Cavs have home court, and the Wizards' Gilbert Arenas has already predicted his team will knock LeBron out. I don't see it. LeBron is the best player in the East, and he'll carry the day, especially at home. Cavs in six.
(2) Detroit vs. (7) Philadelphia
I really like the Sixers. I think they're one of the most improved teams in the league, and they're athletic. They aren't good enough to beat Detroit, but they'll win a couple of games. Pistons in six.
(3) Orlando vs. (6) Toronto
Two young teams that are on the rise. I like both rosters, but Orlando has Dwight Howard and a better coach. Orlando in five.

i think it would be mavs in six, lakers in 5 or 6, spurs in 7, jazz in 5 out in the west...the sooner the lakers dispose of their opponents the better it's all about conserving energy in the playoffs..i like the momentum the lakers had going into the playoffs even dirk said it himself that he doesnt want to play the lakers and would rather face the hornets cause the lakers are the hottest team in the west going into the playoffs
