NBA Playoff Predictions

The NBA Playoffs tip-off Saturday afternoon. Here are my predictions for each round and how many games each series will go:

WESTERN CONFERENCE ROUND ONE

Golden State Warriors over Houston Rockets in 4

Portland Trail Blazers over Los Angeles Clippers in 7

San Antonio Spurs over Memphis Grizzlies in 5

Oklahoma City Thunder over Dallas Mavericks in 6

WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMI-FINALS

Warriors over Trail Blazers in 5

Spurs over Thunder in 7

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Warriors over Spurs in 7

EASTERN CONFERENCE ROUND ONE

Cleveland Cavaliers over Detroit Pistons in 5

Boston Celtics over Atlanta Hawks in 6

Toronto Raptors over Indiana Pacers in 5

Miami Heat over Charlotte Hornets in 5

EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMI-FINALS

Cavaliers over Celtics in 6

Raptors over Heat in 6

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Cavaliers over Raptors in 7

NBA FINALS

Warriors over Cavs in 5

My confidence in the Cavs is not very high right now in terms of winning a championship, but if we see a team at a completely different level than what we saw in the regular season, it could go up. I’m not convinced they can rise to the level they need to by flipping a magic switch. But I hope I’m wrong about that.
