[George O'Brien]

I may be overly impressed by how well a team is playing lately, but right now I think the Mavericks may beat the Kings (the Kings defense is not that great and the Mavericks can certainly score).

I'm also picking the Heat to beat the Hornets. It all depends on how healthy Baron Davis is.

Both teams will lose in the second round.
