NBA Playoffs: Spurs Set To Defend Title

The NBA Playoffs begin this Saturday and with it the real season begins. For my Spurs it begins the defense of their NBA Championship and to cement their dynasty with back-to-back titles. First up the Phoenix Suns who won the regular season series against the Spurs 3-1. However the playoffs are a new season and a different style of play begins. I really like the Spurs in this series, I don’t think Steve Nash can keep up with Tony Parker, Shaq and Duncan will have another classic battle, and I think the Spurs just have the Suns number in the playoffs. I look for the Spurs to beats the Suns in six games.

Here are my picks for the rest of the first round match ups:

Lakers vs. Nuggets – Lakers in 6
Hornets vs. Mavs – Hornets in 7
Jazz vs. Rockets – Jazz in 7
Celtics vs. Hawks – Celtics in 4
Pistons vs. Sixers – Pistons in 5
Magic vs. Raptors – Magic in 7
Cavs vs. Wizards – Cavs in 6
