The regular season ended last night, and the western conference first round matchups are set:1 San Antonio vs. 8 Memphis
4 Oklahoma City vs. 5 Denver
3 Dallas vs. 6 Portland
2 Los Angeles vs. 7 New Orleans
The Spurs finished the regular season tied for the best record in the league. They are strong favorites against the Grizzlies in the first round, and are probably going to go far in the playoffs. The young Thunder, led by stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, will make a good matchup for the Nuggets who have been very good after they traded away Carmelo Anthony. This is definitely the series to watch. The Mavericks might be upset by the Trail Blazers since they haven't proved to be as good as some say they are. The Hornets, led by all-star Chris Paul, will look to upset the Andrew Bynum-less Lakers in the first round, but there isn't too good of a chance.
Who do you think will win the West?
GOOOOOO MEMPHIS!
ReplyDeleteOklahoma with Durant is going all the way. They have a great defense and Durant is the leading scorer in the league!
