EASTERN CONFERENCE
#1 Chicago Bulls vs. #8 New Jersey Nets
Analysis: The Nets are certainly tough for a #8 team, and not having Dirk could hurt Chicago, but the Bulls will still pull this one out.
Prediction: Bulls in 5
#2 Orlando Magic vs. #7 Philadelphia 76ers
Analysis: The Magic have been playing well down the stretch while the 6ers backed their way into the playoffs after some changes at the deadline:
Prediction: Magic in 5
#3 Detroit Pistons vs. #6 New York Knicks
Analysis: Earlier in the season it seemed as if the Knicks were going to miss the playoffs for the 2nd straight year and the Pistons were going to run away with the best record in the East. But things have changed and the Knicks actually have a shot to knock off the defending champs.
Prediction: Pistons in 7
#4 Cleveland Cavs vs. #5 Toronto Raptors
Analysis: The Cavs seem to win no matter what moves they make this season. While the Raptors have some star players, not having a great PG could hurt them.
Prediction: Cavs in 7
WESTERN CONFERENCE:
Seeds #1-#4 vs. Seeds #5-8
Analysis: The higher seeded teams are better because they had better records.
Prediction: All #1-4 seeds in 5
