NBA Playoffs 2008 2nd Round
The 2nd Round matchups for this year’s playoffs are now set. In the East, the Celtics had the hardest time getting to this point by beating the Hawks in 7 games. They will face Lebron’s Cavs tomorrow night at Boston. The Pistons are already up 2 games by virtue of winning both their home games against the Magic. That series shifts to Orlando in 2 days.
In the West, the Lakers swept the Nuggets on their way to this round. They are up 1-0, as they pounded Utah 2 days ago. Kobe (this year’s MVP, finally!) scored 38 points and was unstoppable. The Spurs are now down 0-2 against the darkhorse Hornets and will be looking to grab their first win of the series back home, also in 2 days time.

And now for the JaaJoe.com foolish predictions for the second round of the 07/08 NBA Play Offs.
1.Jazz/Lakers. I think that Jerry Sloan is a slightly superior coach, but his slight superiority is due to the fact that, even though Phil Jackson is old enough to know better, at times he still falls into the trap of believing that he is more important than his players. In addition, I think that Utah is more mentally determined, and will take this series in seven games.
2. Magic/Pistons. Flip Saunders is a worthless coach. Stan Van Gundy is the hardest working coach in the NBA. Based solely on the coaching inequity, I pick the Magic to win in six.
3.Celtics/Cavaliers. Mike Brown is a better coach than Doc Rivers, but LeBron is still a distraction. Celtics in six.
4. Spurs/Hornets. Spurs in six.
