NBA Playoff Predictions- Round 2

Memphis and Golden State kept me from predicting a perfect first round, but Round 2 I think the winners and losers will be much clearer.

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls- Heat in 5. Enough said. Bulls are banged up and the Heat have been sipping on margaritas on a beach somewhere for the past week.

New York Knicks vs Indiana Pacers- Pacers in 6. New York showed major signs of weakness against the Celtics. Carmelo is a one man show that doesn't pass the ball enough, and the Pacers are just huge in the paint. Not picking Indiana just because I'm a Celtic fan, but...

San Antonio Spurs vs Golden State Warriors- Spurs in 6. Yay Golden State and welcome Steph Curry to superstar status. Now beat the Spurs (who have also been on an island somewhere sipping on margaritas) who should roll right through into the finals. Best of luck.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies- Grizzlies in 7. Yes. The Grizzlies. The loss of Westbrook seriously jeopardizes the Thunder's chances. I love Durant, but one man does not a championship team make. See NY Knicks.
