I can't see the Cavs getting there. Not saying they'll lose to the Bulls but they have too little playoff experience in their stars so I think they fade down the stretch in either the next round or the Eastern finals. If that team stays together or replaces one of them with an equal star I fully expect them to be ready next year.

Pretty good picks. I would agree with just about everything.  The Spurs are such a wild card.   I could see them going out in the first round, and I could see them sweeping the finals.
The order I'm rooting:
1. Bulls
2. Not Cavs

Exactly.  The West is really hard to predict.  In my opinion, I would rank the most likely to come out of the West as:
1) Spurs
2) Warriors
3) Clippers
4) Grizzlies
5) Rockets
6) Mavs
7) Blazers (would have them up at 3 if Wes hadn't gone down)
8) Pelicans

The only teams I don't see any chance of coming out of the West are the Pelicans and Blazers (again, because of Wes's injury).  I have a hard time seeing the Mavs, but they have a lot of talent.  None of the other 5 would surprise me at all.

Too bad too because I have fallen in love with the Pelicans this year. AD such a good player and even a better dude. Just need a couple more pieces. Bulls first for me but I really don't want to see the Clippers win.
