Pro Basketball Hoops Land Second Round Western Conference Playoff Predictions

I hope everyone enjoyed the first round of the 2014 NBA Playoffs. Stay tuned for some more updates now that I got myself moved down to Orlando. Here are my 2014 second round Western Conference Playoff Predictions.

1- San Antonio Spurs VS 5- Portland Trailblazers- I don't know what to think about this one. Portland has surprised me so far in these playoffs. The big 3 for the Spurs consisting of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili will have to have a huge series to win. Tiago Splitter will have to bang down low, and play aggressive against Robin Lopez for this series to be exciting. I last time thought the Rockets would defeat the Blazers. I'm not going to underestimate Portland this time. The Spurs are going to have to throw huge defense at LaMarcus Aldridge, and second year clutch point guard Damian Lillard to defeat the Blazers. I'm impressed by Lillard and how far he has come in his sophomore season. I'm going to shock everyone on this one. I'm going to go with the upset. Portland will win the series 4-3. It will be a close one in game 7

2- Oklahoma City Thunder vs 3- Los Angeles Clippers- If the Thunder play like they did in games 6 and 7, then this series will be over quickly. If I'm the Thunder I try to get Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in foul trouble early to take them out of their momentum. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will of course be huge in this series. I'm expecting Serge Ibaka to be a surprise, and will make Blake Griffin step out close to the three point line. This series makes me nervous a bit, but in a good way because of the competitiveness and the hunger of both teams coming in to this series. My biggest concern for the Clippers is that other than Glen (Big Baby) Davis who can back the Clippers up at the power forward and center position. I think that is the only thing that makes me believe that the Clippers won't win this series. I root for both of these teams, because I like Kevin Durant on the Thunder, and Blake Griffin and CP3 on the Clippers. I'm going to say the Thunder win the series 4-3

These 2014 NBA Playoffs have been entertaining. I want to see KD, Blake and CP3 win their first NBA title. Send me your comments on what you think about my predictions? What are your predictions?
