Miami Heat vs. Houston Rockets. The Revenge 2.0
I want to see LeBron's revenge againts Dwight Howard for beating him in the 2009 ECF after he averaged the best statsline in a playoffs series.

Sixers over Suns. Subject to change over the next 3 months during the off-season.

i'm really doubtful Miami makes a 4th straight finals appearance. i don't think they have enough gas for it. they are gonna need to go through these teams that have all gone stronger
Nets
Bulls
Pacers
in the west, i think Memphis will break through.

Zone defense against Lebron and he's done, but luckily for him, Miami got a shytload of good shooters....

Lakers vs Knicks

Lets focus on the East.
Bulls - Play the same way in regular season and play offs. Likely many injuries as they grind too hard and gas out by playoffs.
Nets - They are old and they will likely have to grind it out with the bulls or pacers before playing miami anyway
Pacers - Scola is actually quite soft and is a defensive liability. Will see how they go this season however they are built to beat the heat.
Knicks - They are a tier below Miami, Bulls, Nets and Pacers. They have to beat up one of the top 4 teams to touch Miami.
1st Round Miami vs Cleveland, Bulls vs Knicks, Nets vs pacers and someone vs someone. Chances are Miami will have to go through 2 good teams but those teams are going to be banged up just as bad as Miami especially Bulls who always end up injured in the post season due to playing too hard and treating each regular season game like the playoffs.
Cleveland is going to be like Golden State of the West last year. Irving, Waiters, Bennett, Varejao, Jack, Thompson and not to forget Andrew Bynum. They will be doing some major damage in the East this year and don't be surprised if they get into the second round by taking out an older team like the Nets or Knicks.
Hawks aren't looking too shabby after losing Josh Smith either. Millsap is a good addition and they still have a good core so will see how they do.

I'm gonna go Miami vs San Antonio again. The Spurs will turn in on come playoff time and Miami will cruise again.

Miami over OKC in 5.
But rooting for the Clippers to make it.

We have to see how the Nets play on the court, but I think the Pacers are the only team keeping Miami from a 4th straight Finals appearance. They are going to be even tougher.

Indiana vs OKC. Pacers have all the ingredients with the return of Granger. OKC, if everyone is healthy it's theirs to lose.

Not sure OKC make the finals if Lamb doesn't give them something. They havn't replaced Martin.

I wish it were Heat vs. Rockets, cause then Miami will have faced all 3 Texas teams in the finals. However I feel a rematch with OKC coming, Heat in 6 if it does.

If both teams remain healthy my pick goes to GSW and Nets in the finals.

Cavs would never beat the Nets in a playoff series, considering the amount of veterans and consistent offensive and defensive players on that team. They might be able to beat the Knicks because the Knicks rely on being hot from 3 to win games. They also might be able to beat the Pacers, because they have incredibly inconsistent offensive players (George, Hibbert, Stevenson) along with no real PG to run a half way decent offense. However, I don't see them beating either of the top 5 unless Bynum is completely healthy, Bennett magically turns into a star small forward and Kyrie learns that he has 4 other players on the court.
