2007-2008 NBA Playoff Predictions

Playoffs Rankings
I like Chicago in the East. They are one of the hardest playing teams and have a stock of young talent. Detroit is always good but I think they are on the decline. I just can't see LeBron and the Cavs doing as well in the playoffs this year. Orlando is my surprise pick this year. they had a great start last season and then faded. In the West I like Utah, but I don't see them getting past the second round this year. San Antonio did it too easily last year and I think either Phoenix or Dallas will have enough emotion to finally get past them. Houston and Denver are my two question marks. They both could make a deep run if things work out.

East

  1. Chicago
  2. Boston
  3. Orlando
  4. Detroit
  5. Cleveland

Wow, I was way off on a few of these predictions. Thanks to Chicago. The Bulls played awful this year and rarely showed emotion or played hard at all. Thanks for ruining my picks. Besides the Bulls, my East is pretty close except New Jersey just missed the playoffs and Miami bombed.

For the West I was pretty close as well just the order was off. New Orleans did much than I anticipated and I totally missed the Lakers (but how would I know Memphis would give them Gasol as a present).
