Predictions.
Los Angeles Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets.
Dallas Mavericks beat the New Orleans Hornets.
San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns.
Houston Rockets beat the Utah Jazz.
Lakers beat the Mavericks.
Spurs beat the Rockets.
Lakers beat the Spurs.
As opposed to the East, I'm not very confident about these picks. The Mavericks are a hunch. In the first round, the predicted loser could end up winning the series and I wouldn't be surprised - except for the Nuggets. Denver is not going to beat Los Angeles. If Rafer Alston doesn't come back quick, I think Utah will end up beating Houston.
