Bulls have been playing really well since all of their trades. They have size, perimeter scoring, and strong defense. Lebron may be the best player in the game right now. Hornets are always strong, but their defense concerns me and they're having to go smaller now. I like the Bulls in a close one.
Bucks vs Sixers:
Sixers are well seasoned in the playoffs. Even without Jamison they're a strong team. They have the second best defensive center in the league in Camby and he was a beast offensively and rebounding in the first round. However, he's going up against Tyson Chandler who should neutralize him. The Bucks have more scoring and more depth. Plus, Gilbert Arenas is a monster right now. He's the MVP for a reason. Going with the Bucks.
In the West
Lakers vs. Grizzlies
Grizzlies are dangerous with Brand and Joe Johnson. They have the experience and tradition as winners. However, the Lakers are imposing. Duncan, T-Mac, Iverson, and their depth. Both teams play defense, but the Lakers will pull this out.
Rockets vs. Grizzlies
The other matchup in the west which no one is taking about due to the Lakers/Grizz "WCFs". Both teams have elite scores in Melo/Big Al and Dirk/Ray Allen. Sonics have a big edge at the point in CP3. Rockets have the best defensive player in the league in Okafor. Rockets have a little better depth. Even matchup to be honest. I'm gonna refrain in making predictions on my own matchup.
