2009 NBA Playoffs

The playoffs will start next week with 2 or less games per team that is on schedule this week. The East is a team to beat this year with Boston defending its title and the Cavs who has an almost perfect home record with 1 home loss this season and has the home court advantage when the playoffs start. Orlando has an underdog image, Miami is on fire and the Pistons has made it to number 8.

What about the west? the Lakers is sure to be there in the finals no doubt about that. Houston without T-Mac has made an statement this season but i guess they need a tough perimeter guy when they battle the Portland. Denver with Billups manning the point is a sure contender while the aging Spurs is unpredictable during Playoffs.

Will Boston make it 2 in a row? Can Lebron top the East or can Kobe regain its title in L.A. This will be a great ball game for me and mind you that after this season i can predict that there will be lots of movement in terms of franchise player. We'll see all of this as the playoffs progress. Go Houston!
