One person's view on NBA playoffs
Richard James "
Sports editor
The National Basketball
Association regular season came
to an end Sunday night, thusv
beginning • my .playoff
predictions.
In the Western Conference the
Los Angeles Lakers just sqeaked
in to postseason action by
defeating their cross-town rival
Clippers in overtime. They face
the top seed in the conference,
the Portland Trailblazers, in the
first round. I wouldn't be
surprised if Portland takes it to
the Lakers and sweeps them.
The Lakers ha ve lost their magic
since Magic retired, and a season
filled with injuries didn't help
much either.
The fourth-seeded Phoenix
Suns open against the San
Antonio Spurs, the fifth seed.
This will be the closest serie*jn
the conference, with the Suns
taking it in five games.
The second-seeded Utah Jazz
will go up against the Clippers.
Utah's Karl "The Mailman"
Malone will deliver, leading the
Jazz to a sweep of L A.'s "other"
team.
Finally in the Western'
Conference, the Golden State

Warriors (seeded Mo. 3) will
battle the Seattle Supersonics in,
a series that will probably not
be much of a battle. I'm a Seattle
fan, but the Sonics don't even
belong in the playoffs. They
finished the season strong, led
by Emie Johnson, but they will
fall to the Warriors in four
games.
The Eastern Conference will
be the one to watch, as most of
the matchups look to be even
We'll start with one that
simply isn't fair the top-seeded
Chicago Bulls against the
eighth-seeded Miami Heat. The
Bulls in a sweep. (Need I say
more?)
The fourth-seeded New York
Knicks will meet the fifth-
seeded Detroit Pistons in what
could possibly be the best first
round series of this year's
playoffs. This one will go to the
final game of the five game
series, with Detroit prevailing.
Boston Celtics fans will watch
their second-seeded team face
the seventh-seeded Indiana
Pacers. On paper it might not
look like a good matchup, but
the Pacers have played the
Celtics tough. I think this will
be an upset, with the Pacers
winning in five games.
Finally, the third-seeded
Cleveland Cavaliers will face the
sixth-seeded New Jersey Nets.
The Nets couldn' t get along with
each other to long enough to
win one game of this series. The
Cavs in a sweep.
To take my predictions on to
the second round, back in the
Western Conference I see
Portland defeating Phoenix in a
close series while Golden State
will edge Utah in another dose
series.
In the Eastern Conference's
second round, Chicago will
defeat the Pistons while Indiana
will surprise the Cavaliers.
Now we are at the Conference
championship games. In the
Western Conference, Portland
will need all seven games to
dump the Warriors. But
Chicago will sweep the Pacers
for the Eastern Conference
crown.
Surprise, surprise. The
Portland Trailblazers will meet
the Chicago Bulls in the NBA
Championship series. It will go
seven, with Chicago winning
their second consecutive NBA
title.
You can bank on it.
