2011 NBA Playoff Predictions (UPDATE)

I was off with Orlando, San Antonio, and Portland, but I'm sure many were off with these series as well. I hope I can do better for the second round!

Chicago over Atlanta in 6
Boston over Miami in 6
Oklahoma City over Memphis in 6
LA Lakers over Dallas in 7

Chicago over Boston in 7
LA Lakers over Oklahoma City in 7

LA Lakers over Chicago in 6

2011 NHL Playoff Predictions (UPDATE)

So I got 6 out of 8 first round series correct. That's pretty good, I think. I badly missed on Detroit, so I have to make it up here.

Washington over Tampa Bay in 6
Philadelphia over Boston in 6
Vancouver over Nashville in 6
Detroit over San Jose in 5

Philadelphia over Washington in 6
Vancouver over Detroit in 7

Philadelphia over Vancouver in 6
(Which may mean that Vancouver will win since I predicted Pittsburgh over Chicago last year and Chicago won!)

2011 NBA Playoff Predictions

Here were my pre-season playoff picks:
East: Miami, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Milwaukee, New Jersey, Washington
West: LA Lakers, Oklahoma City, Dallas, San Antonio, Portland, Utah, Phoenix, Houston

I got the top 5 teams for both conferences correct (in different order). I also got the top 3 teams for both conferences horribly incorrect. Therefore, I'm not sure if I'm any good at making picks.


So now, here are my playoff picks:
Chicago over Indiana in 4
Orlando over Atlanta in 6
Boston over New York in 4
Miami over Philadelphia in 5
San Antonio over Memphis in 6
Oklahoma City over Denver in 5
Portland over Dallas in 6
LA Lakers over New Orleans in 5

Chicago over Orlando in 6
