NBA : Playoff Picture



NBA :  Playoff Picture

Very interesting!

The Playoffs start next weekend and the "picture" looks very interesting indeed with  three games left for each team in the regular season...in the East , the Miami Heat and NY Knicks  might face each other and are evenly matched as they have equally split their regular season games  but the Heat are favored to move on to the Conference semis! On the other hand, Chicago, Boston and Orlando are expected to breeze through over their potential Playoffs rivals.

Meanwhile , there might be some upsets in the West as the top seeds Spurs, Dallas and Oklahoma might be in rough sailing against their lower seeded rivals. The LA Lakers , on the other hand , will have an easy time against possible pairing ,the New Orleans Hornets, enroute to the Conference Semis; and , possibly the Conference then  the 2011 NBA Finals!

Below are the possible first round playoff match ups...
