Don't get why the Nets tanked to play the Raptors? Yes, the Raptors are worse than the Bulls but then for the next round they'll have to go through Miami instead of Indiana. Think the Nets would give the Pacers more trouble than the Heat, even though the Nets went 4-0 against the Heat. We'll see how it plays out but hopefully the Raptors kick their ***.Now the real fun begins!
Wizards vs Bulls is the best opening round series IMO. Wizards are very underrated but young/inexperienced outside a couple guys. Wall, Beal, and Gortat are playing great right now. Should go 6-7 games with the Bulls probably getting the slight lean.
I wonder if kfitzy or district will pop into this thread, haven't seen them posting much since the playoff thread last year.

Atlanta/Indiana will be a sneaky good series, especially for a 1 vs 8. Toronto/Brooklyn and LA/Golden State will also be really good.
My predictions:
I think all the top seeds advance in the first round
Miami vs Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals
Houston vs Oklahoma City in Western Conference Finals
Oklahoma City over Indiana for the Championship
Even with Indiana flatering, you have them beating the heat?
The second round in the west could be absolutely fantastic if all the top seeds advance. I'm sure San Antonio is breathing a sigh of relief that Memphis didn't end up as the eighth seed.
Do the finals this year still go the 2-3-2 format? Or did they change it back to 2-2-1-1-1?
