NBA Playoffs First Round Predictions

4/18/10 4:15 PM

The NBA Playoffs where anything is possible. Here are my first round predictions  Eastern Conference: (1)     Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (8) Chicago Bulls – This is the perfect season for LeBron James to win and Chicago is just a road bump on their path to the trophy.  LeBron is ready to finally win a championship and the additions of Shaq and Jamison will definitely help the Cavs in the post season.  The Bulls have a good team but there is no way that Cleveland is losing in the first round.  Cavs win series 4-0 (2)     Orlando Magic vs. (7) Charlotte Bobcats – Throughout the season the Magic have established one of the most versatile teams.  To me they look like one of the...
