Oklahoma City Thunder vs Dallas Mavericks
Winner=Thunder
Why=OKC is too much for a Mavericks team, that lost their key NBA final components to free agency. J.J. Barea, Deshawn Stevenson and Tyson Chandler led them to the promise land, and without them they won't be able to create any magic. The Defending champs may make this series interesting but virtually have no chance. Thunder in 6
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs
Winner=Spurs
Why=The Spurs have been the best team in basketball this year, you'd be a complete fool to expect a early first round exit like last year. San Antonio's roster throws you eight guys that can go for 10 plus points any given night, don't be alarmed when this series bores you quickly. Sad part about this series is, I don't even feel like the Jazz have the roster to potentially steal one from San Antonio. Spurs sweep the Jazz in 4
LA Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies
Winner=Grizzlies
Why= Let's be honest the Clippers are good but not that good yet, Memphis on the other hand is a much deeper team poised for a nice little post season run. With their roster healthy and Zach Randolph back in the starting lineup I just don't see the Grizzlies losing. Memphis in 6, this will be the second most entertaining series of the first round
Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Winner=Lakers
Why= Even with the loss of Metta World Peace for the first round the Lakers are just too good to lose to the Nuggets. The impact and dominance of the Pau Gasol-Andrew Bynum in the post will be too much for Denver and the way the Lakers recent confidence in its role players will lead to a masterful postseason run. Lakers in 5
