    In the West, I could see the Hornets and the Mavs getting the upset and in the East I think the Miami will win and the 76ers will challenge and lose.

    I love the first two days of the playoffs. 4 games per day. And its the weekend. Its time to bring out my MAWW card this weekend. It's been stashed away since the NCAA football regular season ended.

    I'll just pick the first round for now.
    Eastern conference (all boring matchups to me):
    Cleveland and Orlando in 5 games.
    Boston in 6 games. Atlanta in 7 games.

    Western conference:
    Lakers in 5 games
    Denver (unfortunately) in 5 games also over New Orleans.
    Houston and San Antonio in 6 games.

    Though Tyson (75% well) is back for the Hornets now, I don't think his absence fully explains why they went only 3-6 in April. Poor bench play, Peja is still struggling after coming back, and not having home court advantage will make it extremely tough to pull an upset here. I hope I am wrong.
