Bulls vs Pacers
I see no reason why the Pacers would be able to contend in this series (except Psycho T, of course). The Bulls are hungry and will plow through this first round.

Heat vs 76ers
The 76ers have impressed me this season. Evan Turner hasn't done much so basically they have the same team and just player better than previous years. Unfortunately, they're just flat outmanned in this one.

Celtics vs Knicks
Awesome stats from sportsnation yesterday-- The top players in the league in +/- are Paul Pierce (+17 per 100 possessions) and Kevin Garnett (+16). On the other end are Amare (+.14) and Carmelo (-.75). Competitive and entertaining series, yes, but no way the Celtics let this one get away.

Magic vs Hawks
Both teams in this series fought to rediscover their identity this season as the Heat and Bulls took all the headlines. The Hawks were the young, up-and-coming team for a couple years, but nothing ever happened. They just kind of fizzled out. Joe Johnson averaged under 20 ppg for the first time in Atlanta and shot under 30% on 3's for the first time in his career. The Magic made 3 huge trades to stay competitive. At the end of the day, Dwight Howard is having his best season and nobody in Atlanta can come close to stopping him.
