Only 4 teams are top 10 in both offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The top 3 teams OKC, CLE and BOS. And the Minnesota Timberwolves are the 4th.

I'll make formal ones for the first round after play-in matchups are determined and add to this, but for now my picks for the matchups that are already set in stone:

Lakers > Wolves in 5
Clippers > Nuggets in 7 (box office series)

Knicks > Pistons in 7
Pacers > Bucks in 6 (assuming Lillard remains out - he could come back later in the playoffs)

Adding to this now:

Rockets > Warriors in 6
Thunder > Grizzlies/Mavericks in 5

Cavaliers > Hawks/Heat in 4
Celtics > Magic in 5

Gonna be honest I really don't think Cleveland will have a problem with either team, not even Miami. That's the only sweep I'm predicting.

Legler podcast mentioned the Warriors are 2 to 1 favourites over the Rockets with the bookies.

Steph's 3 games against Houston this year

* April. 3pts 1-10 FGA. 8ast vs 4 tov. 15pt loss GSW.
* Feb with Jimmy. 27pts 7-17 FG 9-10 FT. 7pt win.
* Dec. No Jimmy. 19pts 8-17 FG 0-1 FT 5ast. 1pt loss.

Only 1 good game for Steph out of 3.
Only 1 win out of 3.

Rockets won season series 2-1.

That is Houston's roadmap to victory. They gotta put the clamps down on Steph. Or Jimmy. One of them. They gotta take one of them out of the series. The Rockets do not have enough offense to compete otherwise.

I think Lakers may be in 6 now not 5

I actually think IND can push CLE to 7 games, but lose Game 7

After most of the first round, I'm still predicting a Cleveland-OKC Finals

(I'll post my specific 2nd round predictions after this weekend's Game 7s are done)
