Well the first round is just about in the books and what a first round it was. The first round of the NBA Playoffs didn't go exactly as planned. So lets review my picks and see how i did

Western Conference- Lakers in 6, Mavs in 7 ,Suns in 7 , Utah 6

Well i guess its a good thing I'm not a betting man right. Lakers won in 4 in dominating fashion. Then you had the Mavs who were bounced in the first round of last years playoffs. You didn't think Avery Johnson and Dirk would allow that to happen again i mean Dallas got themselves an all star PG.  Well New Orleans has there own all star PG who used and abused Jason Kidd it was very hard to watch seeing Jason Kidd getting abused trying to guard Chris Paul. I really thought when it came to San Antonio Vs Phoenix I thought phoenix would put forth a little more effort of maybe we should have know what was gonna happen when Tim Duncan drained his first 3 point shot of the year to force double overtime. Utah in 6 was the most accurate prediction for the western conference i didn't see this series being as entertaining as it was i mean Utah wasn't gonna lose another game on there home floor.

Eastern Conference- Boston in 4, Detroit in 5, Magic in 7, Cavs in 7

OK well Boston isn't exactly who we all think they are i mean your playing the Atlanta hawks. Boston didn't sweep a matter a fact this is the only series that hasn't been decided and unless you are a homer Atlanta Fan then you had this series going a maximum of 5. The big question here is " Can the Hawks go into Boston and shock the world?....... HELL NO!!!!! But onto the other series Detroit made it a little scary for awhile it was like watching a David vs Goliath match up and David wasn't going down with out a fight but this time Goliath got the best of them. You gotta take your hat off to the 76ers they did everything they could but when you have a team that plays fundamental ball and does not make to many mistakes then that makes it very difficult. Orlando won the series in 5 Chris Bosh was going to have to get some kind of help and it just wasn't there this time. When you have Dwight Howard put 20+ points and 20+ rebs per game thats hard to overcome. Lebron James  well what more can you say he is half man and half amazing he is pulling this team together and making big plays when they need him too but lebron is gonna need help as they proceed through the playoffs.
