NBA PLAYOFF PREVIEW 2ND ROUND


I was 8-for-8 for my first round picks and I plan to get all the second round correct as well.

Lakers vs Rockets
Houston finally made it out of the first round, because Tracy McGrady wasn't playing. Ron Artest vs Kobe Bryant should be fun to watch. But the Lakers are just too good.
PREDICTION: LAKERS IN 5

Nuggets vs Mavericks
I don't know who won Game 1 yet, so this has nothing to do with the result of Game 1. I think Denver is just on a tear this year. Dallas got ahold of San Antonio and exposed them that they are now simply too old. Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups and the emergence of J.R. Smith has brought Denver to another level. And playing in Denver is a huge advantage because of the air. Dallas runs out of gas, although a good playoff run.
PREDICTION: NUGGETS IN 6

Cavaliers vs Hawks
Lebron's year. Moe Williams is great.
PREDICTION: CAVS IN 5

Celtics vs Magic
The Celtics escaped in the first round and clearly need Kevin Garnett for another title push. I hate Rondo, so wish nothing but failure for him. I think Dwight Howard dominates the inside and will be too much for the Celtics post players.
PREDICTION: MAGIC IN 6
