If everyone else is doing it, picking the NBA Playoffs series by series has to be the cool thing to do, right?
Well, I’m partly doing this because of that, but also partly because Bill Simmons used one of his weekly podcasts, this one with his buddy House, to prove, more than ever, that he is a homer. (And dumb.)
Okay, I promise to add my reasoning for my picks and why Simmons is dumb later. I promise. (Update: look for that post later this week.)
But I need to get my picks down first.

- Celtics over Hawks in 4.
- Pistons over 76ers in 6.
- Magic over Raptors in 6.
- Wizards over Cavaliers in 6.
Eastern Conference Semifinals:
- Celtics over Wizards in 6.
- Magic over Pistons in 6.

That’s my story, as of exactly 2:00 AM on Saturday morning, and I’m sticking to it.
