The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors will be meeting in the Western Conference Finals this year while the Cleveland Cavaliers will either be facing the Philadelphia 76ers or the Boston Celtics.  This year is the first year since 2014 that the Warriors will not have home court advantage in a series for the playoffs.  The Celtics are winning in the Eastern Conference Semi-final series versus the 76ers with a 3-1 lead.  My pick for the Western Conference champion are the Warriors because they have too many stars that the Rockets won’t be able to guard.  Also, I believe that the Warriors play together better than the Rockets do.

Now that the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals are on their way we know that the Cavaliers will be playing the Celtics.  Their first matchup was Sunday night and the Celtics surprisingly came out with a huge win.  Beating the Cavaliers by around 20 points.  Marcus Morris played great defense against Lebron and held him under 20 points.  As I expected, the Warriors beat the Rockets in their first matchup.  My predictions for these match ups are Cavaliers in 7 games and Warriors in 6 games.

This year’s NBA playoffs have been pretty surprising.  The OKC Thunder are down 3-1 to the Jazz and the Cavs are tied with the Pacers 2-2.  Those two series are the most surprising to me because it seems like the Thunder and Cavs should be powerhouses in the NBA playoffs.  Lebron James is almost averaging a triple double and his team is still tied with the Pacers.  For the Pacers Lance Stephenson and Victor Oladipo are playing pretty well.  For the Jazz, Donovan Mitchell is playing very well.  Russell Westbrook should be going off in this series, but he isn’t doing as well as predicted.  Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans swept the Trailblazers, mainly due to Anthony Davis playing like the superstar that he is.  The Washington Wizards are tied in the series with the Toronto Raptors.  For the Wizards, John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Markieff Morris are playing very well.  For the Raptors, Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are playing very well.  I am excited for this years Finals because I feel that there could potentially be two different teams in the Finals this year and take the place of the Warriors and the Cavaliers.
