By KC Downey in Celtics, Featured, Opinion ⋅ April 20, 2009 at 7:58pm ⋅ Post a comment

Last week, the 30 NBA teams were wrapping their seasons (good and bad). Now, we’re quickly down to 16 teams as the NBA playoffs have snuck up on us. Yes, even the “experts” of Sports of Boston. So, now it’s time to put our thinking caps on and make our expert picks the first round of the playoffs.

No big surprises here with our picks. The Hawks/Heat, Nuggets/Hornets, and Blazers/Rockets series all had the most disparity, but all in all, the winner of the SoB NBA Playoff Pick ‘Em will not be determined through the first round. Now, without further ado…the picks.
