Playoff Predictions: The East

1.Cavs Vs 8.Bulls



The Bulls are a good young team and if they can land a big time player down low and a perimeter scorer they will be a real force next year, unfourtaly this isn't next year. The Cavs are just to deep to balanced.
Prediction: Cavs in 5.
Cavs X-Factor- Anderson Varejo and Shaq, they have a golden oppurity the bulls second unit is weak inside and outside Noah there only other good big defensively is Taj Gibson who is to small to guard either of them.
Bulls X-factor: Kirk Hinrich, hes a monster on ball defender they will certainly use him on Mo Williams if he can shut down Mo if will put a much more difficult work load on Lebron.

2. Magic vs 7. Bobcats



Repeat after me, Dwight Howard is a Monster. The Bobcats are the defesive darlings who are in the playoffs for the 1st time in franchise history. This could be a better seris than you think, but I think the Magics fire power will be to much.
Prediction: Magic in 5
Magic X-Factor: Matt Barnes and Michel Pertuis I believe Van Gundy will use them both on big shot jack the Bobcats best offensive threat.
Cats X-Factor: Tyson Chandler hes a good shot blocker he needs to be able to intimate Dwight and then foul Dwight when hes looking at easy buckets. If they cant stop Dwight its over.

3.Hawks vs 6. Bucks



Without Bogut the bucks don't really have a chance. Its that simple the hawks are too good in-side with out Bogut to anchor the D and blance out the bucks attack thier a one diminsional team.
Prediction: Hawks in 5
Bucks X-factor: Brandon Jennings & John Salmons need to go off Jennings did in game one and kept them alive but it wasnt enough. Hopefully Salmons to try to take other in the remander of the series, as a Buck hes averging 30 a game vs the hawks.
Hawks X-factor: Al Horford, he can make it a quick seris with old Kurt Thomas guarding him. Mismatch!

4. Celtics vs 5. Heat



The Celtics have been nothing but Drama this season, too make that worse the Big 3's age is showing. Meanwhile they play essentily D-wade and an assortment of over paid role players. So this one can really go either way.
Cletics X-Factor: Rondo, hes ill and needs to be healthy and carry this old team and thier problems on his back. If he cant, they will lose to a one man team in Dwade.
Heat's X-factor: Dwade, they will need the Finals MVP version of Dwade if they expect to win anything.
Prediction: Someone wins in 7 who i dont really know of care. I can honestly say i have no bias in this match up. Guess I'll go with the C's they have more depth on the bench and Sheed comes to play in the playoffs.
