<Updates on NBA playoff – First Round>
Earlier entries : part 1, part 2
So my prediction on the East is nothing really surprising, except Boston is leading Miami by 3 : 1. According to this updated predictor (espn), Atlanta already has the lowest chance amongst the top 4, 82%, to win the series over Bucks. Don’t waste time on Eastern Conference’s first round.
The west is more interesting. Jazz, leading by 3 : 1, should win (85% chance). San Antonio should also win (the winner are not surprising to me. But the ease they win the series is). It said Suns have 73% chance to win over Portland. That’s crap. With the return of Brandon Roy, the top 10 players in NBA (he is at the level with LBJ, Anthony, Wade, Howard, Durant, Nash), the more correct percentage for Suns is not more than 40%.
Lakers, the reigning champion, only has 70%. NO WAY. Lakers will win in 6.
