Check out our predictions for the 1st round matchups in the Western Conference below.... Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic  The Bucks have been one of the most dominant teams on both sides of the basketball all season.

After a long wait, it's finally time for playoff basketball! Check out our predictions for the 1st round matchups in the Western Conference below....

The current landscape of the league has made this year one of the most competitive and entertaining in quite some time.  One thing I’ve particularly enjoyed is the fact that both the Los Angeles Lakers (24-6) and Boston Celtics (20-7) are ranked among the top tier teams this season. Let’s be real, the NBA is just a better and brighter place when these two historic franchises are at the forefront of success....
