Miami/Milwaukee is the only Eastern series that shouldn't be competitive...maybe I could see the Pacers stomping Atlanta.

People are sleeping on Boston and Chicago, those are toss up series where the lower seeded teams are more seasoned and the higher seeded teams aren't as well coached. I don't think either would get past the second round, but it shouldn't be a shock if either beats a couple of perennial underachievers who finally had decent regular seasons after years of suck.

Pacers are one of the best coached teams in the league.
 
Yay! I get to watch my Milwaukee Bucks (who are 6 games below .500) get blasted by the Heat in 4 games. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I think the Bulls with Noah would matchup pretty competitively with Miami. Noah plays Bosh well, Luol stops lebron as well as anyone can and Butler has given Dwayne Wade a hard time.

Yeah, I think so too. But I didn't want to state it, as I am probably too biased to make an accurate assessment. (I still think Miami would win, but I'd see the series going 6 or 7 games)

Without Rose they're still a great defensive matchup against anybody but just don't have the firepower to win big games on the other end...and I'm as big a homer as there is. Butler has really come around on both ends, even when the team is fully healthy I think he's in their most dangerous lineup now.

I do think the Bulls can frustrate the Heat, they will make a physical series and won't be intimidated, but I can't see them stealing more than one game at home.

I agree with this, but without Rose the Bulls can't score enough to win a 7 game series.

It looks like a Thunder vs Heat rematch in the finals.
 
Who are we kidding this heat team is going to easily win it all. This years Miami Heat is even better than last years.

barring injuries I think you're right. They match up very well with the Thunder.

Agree. Also, I don't even think this years Thunder team without Harden is as good as last years and I still think the Thunder make the finals.
