Give your firstr round upsets predictions.

Lets hear your predictions for a first round upset:
My prediction is the Los Angeles Lakers over the Phoenix Suns. My reasoning behind this is the Suns don\'t have any history of doing any real damage in the playoffs, Amare Stoudamire is still out injured and it was him more than Nash that carried that team in the playoffs last season. The Lakers on the other hand have the most lethal playoff tested player in the league, and the most battle tested playoff coach in league history. What do you guys think?

Eastern Conference
1 Detroit Pistons
8 Milwaukee Bucks

2 Miami Heat
7 Chicago Bulls

3 New Jersey Nets
6 Indiana Pacers

4 Cleveland Cavaliers
5 Washington Wizards

Western Conference
1 San Antonio Spurs
8 Sacramento Kings

2 Phoenix Suns
7 Los Angeles Lakers

3 Denver Nuggets
6 Los Angeles Clippers

4 Dallas Mavericks
5 Memphis Grizzlies

I\'ll take Sacramento over San Antonio.
It would be a big upset, but nobody has been hotter than the Kings since the Ron Artest trade, They have a player (Artest) who can play some lockdown defense on Manu Ginobli, Duncan and Ginobli have had nagging injuries all season, so the Spurs never really got into a groove, plus the Spurs seem to followup their championship seasons with early playoff exits. Its a longshot though

I say New Jersey over the Heat and Lakers over The Suns making a LA vs LA battle in the second round.

The Kings taking out the Spurs ain\'t gonna happen, no way, no how, Not as long as the Big Fundamental is still breathing.
The 1st round upset to watch out for is Chicago Bulls over the Miami Heat. The Heat have been underachieving all season, they\'ve been trying to save theirselves for the playoffs and whenever teams do that, it comes back to bite them.
