Well it starts today with Raptors to see if they can get through the first round this time. DeRozan and Lowry talk like they're ready this year but can they put it together for a whole series against the Pacers? I think this might be the year.
Favourites have to be The Warriors with some guy named Curry. Pretty tough for any team in this league to beat them in a 7 game series.
Other Favourites:
Cavs
Spurs
Thunder
Clippers
Anyone else would be a huge long shot.
Although I think everyone is a long shot against Warriors.
First Round Matchups:
Western Coference:
(1) Warriors vs (8) Rockets
(2) Spurs vs (7) Grizzlies
(3) Thunder vs (6) Mavs
(4) Clippers vs (5) Trailblazers
Eastern Conference:
(1) Cavs vs (8) Pistons
(2) Raptors vs (7) Pacers
(3) Heat vs (6) Hornets
(4) Hawks vs (5) Celtics
I think for the most part 1st round will be a formality.
