Cavs will not get past the Celtics, "healthy" Queen James or not. Celtics take them in 6.
Magic pose a lot of problems to the Celtics, but if they can contain Howard without excessive double-teaming, and keep up the defensive pressure for a full 4 quarters, the Celtics will win the East.
Lakers have had the Jazz's number for years, and will easily finish the series; I say Lakers in 5.
Suns are looking very good, but I wouldn't count the Spurs out completely, though it's looking bleak. I'm saying Suns in 6.
Lakers have too much size for the Suns, and will destroy them on the boards, which will keep the Suns a half-court team. It might go 7, but Lakers will take them.
Lakers and Celtics final will be epic, and bring the Lake Show some redemption over 2008, though the Celtics are obviously not the same team as they were then.
And I do agree with Mutt - the NHL playoffs have been decisively more entertaining. Blackhawks / Penguins final, and I'd give a slight edge to the Pens simply 'cause they won it all last year and have a slight talent edge as well.
