ok the western conference is set.

1.Spurs

vs

8 Grizz.

i have Spurs in 6-7, but i can smell and upset. i just find it hard to pick against San Antonio who for 90% of the season been playing Great basketball. a nice mix of Vets and young players. Memphis does bring in size to match the Spurs in Marc Gasol and Zbo Memphis also has the perimeter player to hang with them in battier and Rudy Gay. i can smell a possible upset but the Spurs have TONS of experience in the playoffs where Memphis doesn't so Spurs 6-7 games

4.Thunder

vs

5. Nuggets

this one is up in the air. i LOVE how Denver been playing since trading Carmello Anthony. I also like how Oklahoma City has been playing as well. im taking Thunder in 7 games for 1 reason they have a go to person in Keven Durant where Denver does not have any go to scoring. but i can see Denver winning this series. there major advantage is they have the size to match up with OKC but Denver's big men can score. also they can score on there own. OKC big men well they get most there points on 2nd chances and being 5th options. so Denver can plug up the driving lanes for KD and Westbrook with Nene and Kmart. but if i have to pick one right now its OKC in 7

3.Mavs

vs

6.Trail Blazers.

Blazers in 6. my 1st upset pick. i dont think its much of an upset. Dallas is not built for the playoffs and normally fade against more physical teams. Portland's Lamarcus Aldridge will bullied around Dallas. and Portland will make its a Dirk vs Portland match up and we all know Dirk is not the player to carry his team all that far. IF Dallas had Butler back i'll be picking the Mavs. but without Butler im going with Portland all the way

2.Lakers

vs

7.Hornets

this match up isnt fair. when the Hornets lost david west for the season i knew they wouldn't compete against anyone in the playoffs. they dont match up with the lakers very well. the only match up problem they give LA is chris paul who if he gives LA to much trouble then Kobe Bryant will be sent to shut him down and trust me he can. Lakers in 5

I completely disagree with your Nuggets vs Thunder selection, I love how the Denver Knicks have been playing but they are still not enough to take down last years western conference runner up the Thunder. Westrbrook+Durant+Ibaka will dominate this series, plus their bench is much stronger then that of the Nuggets. Also a tl;dr the Mav's will go on to beat the trail blazers even though portland has a really good team I still think that the Mav's will be able to pull through this series.

well i pick OKC to win it. but i can see Denver pulling it off as well. the Thunder will have a HUGE series from Durant since i dont see anyone Denver has who can guard him. i dont like Ibaka to much beyond blocks,rebounds and put backs. the low post is where the series is going to be won. both teams have good guards and can score but i think whoever controls the boards and can score down low will win. unfortunately Ibaka and Perkins dont have many Low post moves or all that dangerous down low. Kmart and Nene can score on there own.
