Ahh yes, the Eastern Conference! After picking the winners of the Western Conference we had better give a shot at the East, right? What's amazing is the East will probably be a lot more tricky than the West. Now I know the majority of legit teams are out West but the East is still pretty damn close. And some of these teams are so bad that they may just put on a good show!
Matchup 1: Celtics vs. Hawks
Umm...Boston in 4. That was easy!
Matchup 2: Pistons vs. Sixers
Umm...Pistons in 5. That was easy too! OK, a little explanation is probably deserved on this one since the Sixers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. The Pistons are just too damn solid as a team and have been doing this for way too long for this series to drag on longer than 5 games. Some of these games may be close, but Detroit has been there and simply knows how to win.
Matchup 3: Magic vs. Raptors
This will probably be the most underrated series of them all. The Raptors may being playing pretty bad right now but the Magic lack much experience. I'll still go with Orlando just because Dwight Howard is Superman; just don't expect Bosh and the boys to lay down easy. Orlando in 7.
Matchup 4: Cavaliers vs. Wizards
What a series this is going to be! The return of Agent Zero! The King reigns supreme! The headlines will be flying once Gilbert starts running that mouth and LeBron starts putting up "Jordanesque" numbers. Expect some fireworks, but I can't go against the king after last year. Cleveland in 6.

Hard to argue with your picks. I would add that I think the Hawks will give the Celtics a bit of a scare - they are just a good matchup for the Celts (Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Mike Bibby, Al Horford). They won't win, but I can see them pushing the series to six games, with a few close losses in there, too.
I hope so just to make it worth watching. I'm just scared that the veteran play will dominate and the fact that the stars on Boston have been waiting for this chance for a loooooong time.
Looks like the Piston's are as comfortable as the look in your photo! They better watch out my Sixers are hungry and they simply look fat and happy.
What a game for the Sixers! Sad Pistons...I actually would love to see them lose. Nothing irritates me more than freakin' RAAAsheed Wallace.
