That Knicks-Celtics series is the only really juicy match-up in the East. The Knicks has been on fire in recent weeks, but their inconsistency and Boston's experience at least make you think twice about picking NY in a blowout. Plus Melo and KG hate each other.
The West, on the other hand, the West is absolutely stacked. Memphis-LA is a toss up, Denver-Golden State might break records for points in a series, and even OKC-Houston has the James Harden storyline going for it.
We can't wait.
