The 2013 NBA Playoffs

So as ya'll know the NBA playoffs have begun. First of all I'd like to say i am pretty disappointed that Orlando Magic didn't make it through to the playoffs, but then again, they lost Howard to the Lakers. Anyway in this post  I will be briefly discussing each match up and conclude with playoff predictions.

Round 1 is somewhat still in its beginnings with only 2 games played by each team. first i will discuss the East. So we have Miami  Heat against Milwaukee Bucks, Heat were 2012 NBA champions and they have been playing with such great team work that i feel its obvious they will win against the Bucks and proceed to the next round. Lets be honest, they have probably the best starting 5 in the game. I go for the heat by the way, and no I am not a band-wagoner, i have rooted for them on and off since the 5th grade.

Next we have the Brooklyn Nets which is somewhat of a new team, well lets say they have been refreshed, against Chicago Bulls. Now i feel Bulls are all hype, yes they ended Heat's winning streak back in the regular season stage, but they fail to beat other insignificant opponents. They have each one a game, but I'm not sure if its my animosity towards the team or the skill the Nets show but i am going for the Nets on this one.

Moving on, we have Indiana Pacers against Atlanta Hawks. To be honest i really didn't care about this match up however, i watched highlights from the first game, and i have to say, Pacers got skill! I don't even really pay attention to the players but Pacers could be a threat in this game. I feel the Hawks have nothing on them and Pacers will proceed fo' sho'.

Last but not least, in the East is Boston Celtics against New York Knicks. Now this is a very interesting match up, so Boston i feel is giving it their all but they are missing something, could it be their 3-point shooter Ray Allen who is now shooting threes for the Heat?? i think it is, maybe their team morale has gown down, however whatever it may be, all i know is the Knicks be beating their ass. Knicks got this in the bag.

Next time i'll go through my thoughts on the West, I have put up the 2013 Playoff bracket down below within this post. However for now, Go Miami! and have a Happy NBA playoffs.
