NBA Playoff Preview

Quick blog during the Bruins latest playoff collapse.
East
Bulls/pacers- Derrick Rose easily dominates this series and cements his place as top 5 player in the league. Bulls sweep.

Heat/76ers- The 6ers want to play uptempo. The Heat can only play uptempo. Lebron and Wade go off for 30 each a game. Elton Brand could dominate Chris Bosh downl low. Tougher than people think. Heat in 6.

Celtics/Knicks- The franchise with the greatest history of all time vs the franchise that ESPN wants you to think is the greatest of all time. The knicks are coming in and the Celtics come in cold. But last I checked defense wins in the playoffs. KG, Pierce, Ray, and Rondo turn it on. Shaq wears nice suits the whole series. Celts in 5.

Magic/Hawks- Depends if the Hawks play like men and have some pride from last years beatdown at the hands of the Magic. One of the Collins twins is expected to play big minutes for the Hawks. Never a good thing. Magic in 6.

Bulls/Magic- Tom Thibadeou knows how to defend Dwight and he's got the bodies to do it. Nelson and Gilbert can guard me or you. Rose countinues playoff dominance. Bulls in 6.

Celts/Heat- The ultimate battle of good vs evil depending on how you see it. I think chris Bosh is legit scared of KG at times. Shaq stops the fun events he does and grabs rebounds and takes up space. Lebron has never beaten the Celtics in the playoffs. Celts in 6.

Celts/Bulls- Toughest series of the new Big 3 era I think. NBA playoff history shows that Bulls aren't ready to win the championship and you have to lose before you
can win. The Big 3 won't let maybe their last chance at the Finals slip by. Jeff Green comes up big, mark it down. Celts in 6.

West preview coming after the Bruins....
