I did alright predicting the winners in the first round. 6 of the 8. Also called the Chicago/Brooklyn series going seven. How things can change during a round, though. My Houston Rockets fought valiantly and did my San Antonio Spurs a tremendous favor by knocking OKC's Russell Westbrook out for the playoffs. With Westbrook out, you have to say that The Spurs are now the favorite team out of the West to lose to The Heat in the Finals. My predictions for this round...
The West
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies
The Clippers learned what most teams already know. You don't want to face Memphis. They are gritty and tough. I would not have predicted this before Westbrook went down, but now I've got to call...
Dez says: Memphis in 6.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors
This will be a fun series, as these teams have different styles in some respects. I really enjoy Golden State. But the Spurs are firing on all cylinders again at the right time.
Dez says: SA in 6.
The East
Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls
You've got to admire Chicago's grit in the face of their injuries and their wuss of a star, the forever recovering-even-though-he's-been-cleared-to-play-for-months Derrick Rose. Chicago will get one out of toughness.
Dez says: Miami in 5.
New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers
The talented Knicks showed that they still have some growing up to do in the series against Boston. But their talent should still see them through this round.
Dez says: NY in 7.
