NBA Playoff Predictions 2010: Semi-Finals

Ok so time for the semi-finals

Lets check out my predictions



Western Conference Semi-Finals

1 Lakers

3 Suns

Prediction: The Suns are hot. They have a tough pick and roll, fast paced offense, with pretty good defense. However that hot steak stops here. The Lakers are too big inside, so Amare is gonna have it tough. Nash is gonna be bothered by Fisher's physical defense, and Jason Richardson is going to cool down once he has Kobe and Artest on him. The Lakers should win this easy. Lakers in 5.



Eastern Conference Semi-Finals

2 Magic

4 Celtics

Prediction:This is a close one. The Celtics are playing great defense. The Magic also play great defense, but not as good as the Celtics are playing now. The Celtics should be able to frustrate Dwight Howard and guard the 3. However I dont think that Rondo is going to have it easy with Jameer Nelson on him. Same goes for the rest of the Celtics. I think this is a defensive showdown and a close series. I think the Magic still pull it out. Magic in 7.
