Alright boys and girls, it's that time of the year that is better than any other. The sun is out, the clouds are down, and the playoffs are about to begin. As is our tradition, here are the annual picks for who will go where, starting with the Western Conference:
Lakers-Thunder:
Despite a $35,000 quip by the esteemed Jacksonian, this series will go to the Lakers, and quickly too. KD has really developed this year and it will be fun to see him average ~40 ppg on the national stage. Unfortunately, Rodman (Artest), the Cookie Monster (Odom), and Shithead (guess who!) will prove too much for the young guns and this should be similar to last season's 1-8 match-up
Interesting stories:
Durant will continue his maturation into one of the leagues top 2-3 scoring players. Phil Jackson joined the list of worst people ever (for an exhaustive collection, see here) by attacking the class-act-kid (CAK for short). Thus, I'll double my efforts for hoping that the Lakers get embarrassed by someone for the entirety of this series. Also, look for "Scotty" to be the next in a long line of esteemed coaches that steal Coach of the Year from Jerry Sloan. Seriously, I would win coach of the year with a 6-10 monster, or dinosaur? ;) that has the shooting ability of a great two, the handles of medium 1, and the scorability of a god.
Prediction:
Lakers in 5 (Game 1, Game 2, Game 4, Game 5)
