My favorite team, the Lakers are not in the playoffs this year. See my post about the first round here.
I have watched a lot of basketball over the past week. Not caring who wins has given me a new perspective on the game. I made some predictions for the first round. Let’s see how I did.
EAST
Pacers vs. Hawks – My prediction: Pacers in 7 (Pacers looked shaky in this series.)
Heat vs. Bobcats – My prediction: Heat in 4 (Too easy.)
Raptors vs. Nets – My prediction: Nets in 6 (Nets needed an extra game to get it done.)
Bulls vs. Wizards – My prediction: Wizards in 6 (Wizards only needed 5 games.)
WEST
Spurs vs. Mavericks – My prediction: Spurs in 4 (Totally missed on this one. Spurs needed 7 games.)
Thunder vs. Grizzlies – My prediction: Thunder in 7 (Nailed it.)
Clippers vs. Warriors – My prediction: Clippers in 7 (Got this one too.)
Rockers vs. Trailblazers – My prediction: Trailblazers in 7 (Was really happy Blazers took care of the Rockets in 6 games.)
******************************
Not too bad. On to the second round:
Pacers vs. Wizards – My prediction: Wizards in 7 (tough call)
Heat vs. Nets – My prediction: Heat in 6
Spurs vs. Blazers – My prediction: Spurs in 6
Thunder vs. Clippers – My prediction: Thunder in 7 (close call)
Let’s see how I do in the next round.
