Now lets move to the Eastern Conference which is nothing like the Western Conference there the Heat and that's basically it maybe the Knicks. So this Eastern Conference preview is going to be short and sweet so lets start with the defending champions Miami Heat.
(1) Heat vs. (8) Bucks
Brandon Jennings said he wanted to play the Heat in the playoffs because they "match up well." Well Jennings got his wish glad he didn't wish a win in the playoff because the Heat will roll over the Bucks period.
Triple Double's prediction: No prediction needed everyone knows what going to happen here.
(2) Knicks vs. (7) Celtics
This maybe the most interesting series in the Eastern Conference Knicks vs. Celtics. This rivalry got a little spicier when Kevin Garnett and Carmelo Anthony got into it after Garnett got under Anthony's skin by talking trash about his wife. Can the Knicks continue their hot three shooting point? Cam Anthony continue his MVP like season in the playoffs and lead the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals. And don't let the seven seed for the Celtics fool you they still got Pierce, Garnett, and most importantly Doc plus if Terry return to the old Terry watch out this going to a tough physical series either way.
Triple Double's prediction: 4-3 Knicks
(3) Pacers vs. (6) Hawks
This maybe the most boring NBA playoff series known to man so not going to spend too much time on it.
Pacers are the more physical then the Hawks well they are better team period. The Hawks always seem to make the playoffs but never past the first round ever year to point where you just forget about them.
Triple Double's prediction: 4-1 Pacers
(4) Nets vs. (5) Bulls
With no Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah doubtful for Game 1 and not going to be 100% when he comes back some may think the Nets may take this series. But not so fast the Bull end the Heat 27 game winning streak and the Knicks hot winning streak and without Rose or Noah but they still have Deng and Robinson most importantly Tom Thibodeau who always has his teams ready to play. If Noah does come back Brook Lopez and Joakim Noah will be the matchup to watch. The X-factor for the Bulls will be the streaky Nate Robinson who can put up 25 any given night. As for the Nets, Reggie Evans is the X -factor will he crash and get points off the offensive boards.And don't forget about the backcourt for the Nets Williams and Johnson going against Tom Thibodeau's tough defense should be interesting.
Triple Double's prediction: 4-2 Bulls
Triple Double's prediction Eastern Conference Final: Heat vs. Knicks
