Chicago over Indiana in 5
(Easiest Draw of the East - Indiana)
The Bulls have not necessarily been running away with these games against Indiana and faced another close match up against them in game 3. It would be nice for Chicago to be able to cruise through the first round, however, they've had to battle and soon enough it will catch up with them. I think Indiana will take game 4 so Chicago can take the series in game 5 at home.
Miami over Philadelphia in 6
(Philadelphia should put up a fight.)
Brand and Holiday could not do enough to hold back the fourth quarter surge of the Heat, as the Heat went up 3-0 in the series behind a strong performance of the trio in Philadelphia. It looks more and more like the 76ers will only be able to pull off one more win, which will leave it at Miami in 5, could it be a clean sweep? My sources say no, as teams always find a way to avoid the sweep (a ploy to generate more money in ticket sales).
Portland over Dallas in 6
(Portland has what it needs to pull off this upset.)
While Portland most likely will not win this series in six (if at all), they do stand a good chance of coming out of Portland even. If Aldridge can continue to step up and if Portland can keep the spread of scoring to a minimum, they should have a fairly good chance this season. The first quarter deficits of the Mavericks finally caught up with them as the first quarter deficit cost them the game tonight. Look for an even series returning back to Dallas.
