2015 NBA Playoff Preview

The 2014-2015 NBA season has come to a close and we've seen the biggest markets teams with the Knicks and Lakers were some of the worst teams of the season. Some of the biggest stars in Paul George, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard saw long injuries that kept them out of the game. We saw young players take over the league in Steph Curry, James Harden, Anthony Davis and rookies Andrew Wiggins, Nerlens Noel and Zach LaVine. It was a great season that saw the titans of the past, Kobe and the Heat fell off and passed the torch to younger guys and has led to the tightest MVP race in recent years with it being between at least 4 players (Curry, Harden, LeBron, Westbrook).

The playoffs start Saturday in what is sure to be another great year, especially in the Western Conference. Below is my playoff prediction for how I think things will go down.
