The NBA Playoffs started this past weekend. As a Knicks fan, my playoff hopes ended the day the season started. But as a basketball fan, there is a lot to be excited about!

In the East, I think the Cavaliers will make it to the Finals. LeBron is the best player in the world and they are really starting to click. His supporting staff, which includes a few former Knicks players, is loaded with talent that can really win

In the West, my pick is the Rockets. Though most people are picking Golden State, I think James Harden and crew are too much to handle. Dwight Howard has been playing well and is healthy after sitting out most of the season. He will be the difference. As much as I hate to pick another team out of the East, the Cavaliers are my pick for NBA champs.
