Here are my Western Conference Playoff predictions and other junk. Just my own predictions... usually they are not all that close, but here they are.
vs 
(4) Nuggets: 53-29 .............. (5) Jazz: 53-29
Season Series: Nuggets 3-1
Prediction: Jazz in 6. Despite the Jazz ending the season like crap, the Nuggets didn't end the season any better... in fact they ended even worse than the Jazz. The Jazz say Kirilenko will be out two weeks, so thats probably the whole series. Boozer should be able to play game 1. My prediction for this series really depends on Boozer. The Jazz will be shorthanded enough without AK. If Boozer can't play much or doesn't play like he has been playing all year, the Jazz will most likely lose the series.
vs 
(3) Suns: 54-28 ............. (6) Blazers: 50-32
Season Series: Blazers 2-1
Prediction: Suns in 4. The Blazers have definitely been better lately, but the Suns won't be stopped in this series. They will take the first two at home by a large number. Game 3 will probably be closer and more competitive, but the Suns will win, then finish the sweep in game 4.
vs 
(2) Mavericks: 55-27 .............. (7) Spurs: 50-32
Season Series: Mavericks 3-1
Prediction: Mavericks in 6. I think this will be a pretty close series. The Spurs are still the Spurs and i don't think they'll just lose without a fight. It might even go 7 games, and if it does i'd actually most likely put my money on the Spurs taking that 7th game.

vs 
(1) Lakers: 57-25 ................ (8) Thunder: 50-32
Season Series: Lakers 3-1
Prediction: Lakers in 5. The Thunder are a real good team, but as much as i hate the Lakers, i think the Thunder will only get one game. Besides, Phil Jackson did complain publicly about Durant getting alot of calls and tho the NBA did fine Jackson, he knew what he was doing complaining about this before the series started. He wants his Lakers to get their usual good share of foul calls. (How Jackson can ever complain about another player getting too many calls when Kobe is on his team i'll never know...) As much as i'd love to be wrong in this prediction i fear i won't be able to enjoy a Lakers loss in the first round. Please prove me wrong Thunder.
