NBA Playoff semifinals match-up

NBA Quarter finals is almost complete. Only the Hawks-Bucks series extends to a game 7 on Sunday. That means Orlando Magic has all the time to rest and scout their possible opponents. But I think either Hawks or Bucks, they will still advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cavaliers vs Celtics
Prediction: Cavaliers 4-3

Celtics is still Celtics. They match up well with the Cavaliers but I still pick Lebron James and the Cavaliers. With the addition of Shaq and Jamison, Cavaliers will have all the firepower to dominate the Celtics. For the Celtics, in order them to win this series, Rajon Rando should play well. He, I think is the X-factor. Every time Rando distribute the ball well, the Celtics rolls easily to a victory. But Lebron James will cruise to the NBA Finals, he has two MVP tucked in his belt, only left is that elusive ring. James is motivated to get it.

San Antonio Spurs vs Phoenix Suns
Prediction: Spurs 4-2

Spurs proves that they can still win a series by beating the second seeded Dallas Mavericks. Despite their aging star, they outrun and out hustle the Mavericks. This time they will be tested with the Phoenix Suns. Amare Stoudamire is a beast inside and will cause a lot of head aches to the Spurs. But I think Spurs will win this series because of their fundamental defense.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz
Prediction: Lakers 4-2

Utah Jazz has done a great job in eliminating the Denver Nuggets. Despite their injuries to key players, they still manage to win a series. But this time around, I think luck is not on their side. Lakers has all the luxury of every position especially their twin towers Gasol and Bynum plus Kobe Bryant. For the Jazz, CJ Miles should play well if they want to advance. Lakers in 6 games.
