With the start of the NBA playoffs, my earliest NBA memory comes to mind, the Celtics eliminating the Rockets in the 1986 NBA finals. It was the 16th title for that storied franchise. A franchise that has failed to live up to a high standard ever since. There is sharp contrast between East and West. While the latter is loaded with many intriguing match-ups, the former has only one. There are many questions. Are the Hornets too young? Are the Spurs too old? Are the Mighty C's too good? Are the Jazz able to win on the road? Are the Lakers as good as advertised? Are the Pistons underrated? I have no idea, but it will be great fun to find out. Here are some picks sure to be wrong, NBA Playoff Edition:_
Celtics over Hawks, 4-0
Cavs over Wiz, 4-2
Pistons over Sixers, 4-1
Magic over Raptors, 4-3
Hornets over Mavs, 4-2
Lakers over Denver, 4-1
Spurs over Suns, 4-3
Jazz over Rockets, 4-3
My current projection-Celtics over Lakers

As a fading fan of the NBA for 10+ years now, I am actually foaming at the mouth over the thought of a Lakers-Celts final. It wouldn't be the same as the glory days, but it's as close as we'll ever get again.
