Eastern Conference:
#1 Cleveland Cavaliers vs #4 Atlanta Hawks
#2 Boston Celtics vs #3 Orlando Magic.

Who are your guys' picks to win their series? My picks are:
#1 L.A Lakers in 6(4-2), #2 Denver Nuggets in 5(4-1), #1 Cleveland Cavaliers in 7(4-3), and #3 Orlando Magic in 6(4-2).

I think the Lakers are just too much for Houston. They won't dominate Houston completely, but there will be a difference in the level of play. I think Lakers are gonna win 3 at home and lose 1 at home, and win 1 on the road, and the Rockets 1 at home and 1 away.

The Nuggets are coming off a dominating performance against the Hornets, and I think they will win 3 at home and 1 at Dallas, with Dallas taking 1 at home.

Right now, the Celtics are not what they were last year without KG. If Dwight Howard can dominate the paint, there is no one on the Celtics side that can stop him, so Howard is the big factor if Orlando is to advance, which I believe they will.

And last but not least, believe it or not, I think the Hawks will put up a great fight against the Cavaliers. They just came from winning against Miami in game 7 and I think they have the momentum, plus they have a very athletic team. If the Hawks are at their best, I think they can take it to a game 7, but in the end, the Cavaliers will end up winning.
