My 2007 NBA Playoffs Predictions

YES, i do like the NBA too. Also, just to put this out there; I'm a Dallas Mavericks fan. That's right, the team that won 67 games this season. So, sorry for the bias, but well, with a team this good, it's hard to argue the fact that we're gonna be successful. Let's just hope that the NBA's "second season" is a lot better than the uneventful '06-'07 regular season.
Without further delay, my picks for the 2007 NBA Playoffs::

Eastern Conference Quarterfinals
(1) Detroit Pistons over (8) Orlando Magic (4-0)
(2) Cleveland Cavaliers over (7) Washington Wizards (4-0)
(3) Toronto Raptors over (6) New Jersey Nets (4-2)

MVP: Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas

RECAP: My Mavericks complete their bounce back year after the disappointing loss to Miami in last year's final in 6 games. Detroit will definitely put up a good fight in this series, but in the end, it will be Dallas' DEFENSE that saves them here.
