I came across this picture and just had to comment. This guy is living the dream. Zaza Pachulia "plays" for the Atlanta Hawks (yes they are in the NBA and yes they are in the playoffs, I know). Below is his picture from the Atlanta Hawks team page. Seriously dude? I didn't know Hotlanta was looking for more guido Scarface lookalikes. Miami is that way bro.
Also I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall this weekend (very funny, not as good as Superbad but better than Knocked Up) and the british rock singer steals the show. The actor's name is Russell Brand and I think he will be blowing up here in the US soon. Very funny. How does this relate to the NBA Playoffs you ask? Well not so much, although he does look surprisingly close to Luis Scola of the Houston Rockets. And both of them could easily be confused for former t.v. show The O.C. super cool dad, actor Peter Gallagher. Come to think of it so does Pachulia, that just blew my mind...
OK so after a couple games here is where I see these series finishing up:
The WEST
Lakers over Nuggets in 5 (enver (no D) somehow outshoots Lakers for 1 game max)
Hornets over Mavs in 6 (too much Paul and too old Kidd)
Spurs over Suns in 7 (defenseless Suns lose out to mentally tough Spurs)
Utah over Houston in 4 (tough to win in Utah for even the best teams)
The EAST
Boston over Atlanta in 4 (duh)
Detroit over Philly in 7 (the young kids have come to play)
Orlando over Toronto in 5 (superman in the building)
Cavs over Wiz in 4 (don't piss off the King)

The Spurs are a fantastic BBall team but if they make the Finals again this year I'll be truly sad. Why can't we live in a world where exciting basketball like the Suns play beats hard-nosed boring Spurs style ball? Why can't Manu, Tony or Timmaay be stopped? Why can't Shaq play with Garnett energy for one series?
I agree with all of your picks. Oh, I guess it is easy for me to agree since I waited until most of the games have been played to comment.
Sorry Josh, but the Suns are not playing exciting basketball since they got Shaq. They are trying to be like the other teams now. Too bad. They had a good thing going before.
