100th post! NBA Playoffs begin

What a journey it has been writing all these blogs, I appreciate everyone that has been following and commenting. The NBA playoffs are set and it's time for me to give my predictions: In the West the Spurs play the Grizzlies and I'm going with the Spurs in 6 games. I think the Grizzlies are very very talented and deep but their downfall could be their youth and lack of experience. I'm going with the 1 seed to win this series because of their experience and mastermind head coach in Greg Popovich. In the 2 vs 7 match up the Lakers play the Hornets. I'm going with the Lakers in 6 because of their size and talent, but Chris Paul will give the Lakers some problems. The Mavs will roll through the Blazers in 5 games. The Thunder will beat the Nuggets in 6 games and will be ready to play the Lakers.
In the East the Bulls will have no problems with the Pacers, winning in 4 games. The Heat will beat the 76er's in 5, even though the 6'ers are on the rise and should be feared. The Celtics should beat the Knicks, because of their chemistry but may have some trouble with Carmelo and Amar'e playing together. The Celtics win in 6. The Magic vs. Hawks will be a very very good matchup and I predict the Magic in 7 games. The Hawks will run and run but Dwight Howard is the difference maker, and the Magic prevail.
This years playoffs will be incredibly exciting as always but this year may exceed our expectations. The East could really be won by anybody and the West will have the youth of the Thunder, talent of the Mavs and experience of the Lakers.
In the second round of my predictions I have the Thunder beating the Spurs in 6 games, and the Lakers beating the Mavs in 6 as well. In the East I have the Bulls beating the Magic in 6 and the Heat beating the Celtics in 6. In the conference finals the Lakers will prevail in 7 games over the Thunder and the Heat beat the Bulls in 6 games. In the NBA finals it is everyones dream matchup, the super team Heat and Lebron against the back to back champions and Kobe. The Lakers win in 7 and they 3peat!
