Go Clippers! They'll probably handle Portland in 5 or 6 but lose in 5 or 6 to the Warriors. Blake really elevates his intensity against them but they're just too good.

My bold prediction is Cleveland doesn't make it out of the East this year.

Who do you think is making it out of the East, then? I guess maybe Atlanta is kind of a sleeper, but as long as Lebron is healthy I think he's dragging the Cavs to another Finals appearance.

There's not one single team that I think will come out of the East in place of Cleveland, I'm just taking the field. If I had to bet on a single team to come out of the East, I would still bet on the Cavs. The Cavs didn't get a great draw the way things shook out. I think Detroit will be more of a challenge than any first round opponent LeBron has faced during this run of his. I think Boston can really push Cleveland if that's the second round matchup and both Toronto and especially Miami have given Cleveland problems. I think the East overall has a lot more solid teams than the past few years.

Last year I think I was pretty close on this but this time I have no idea for the East because of their parity this season.

likely the most boring first round in a long time. Most series should be blowouts besides 2 or 3 in the East

Ship out/allow to leave virtually the whole damn team.

Still make the playoffs---in the West.

Pretty impressive no matter what the outcome is.
