IT'S PLAYOFF TIME BABY! [NBA.com]
Don't forget to make your picks for a chance to win a free t-shirt of your choice from the GSoM Store 2.0 or an iPod Touch (from BallHype)! Definitely check out these Playoff Predictions that the HoopsAddict crew invited me to be a part of too.
Make the jump for some Day 1 picks.
G1: (5) Washington Wizards @ (4) Cleveland Cavaliers (Series Tied 0-0)
The "overrated" LeBron James and the Cavs should prevail at home in an entertaining game that comes down to the final minute where the Wizards once again forget to play D.
G1: (6) Phoenix Suns @ (3) San Antonio Spurs (Series Tied 0-0)
I like Shaq and Amare against the Spurs down low. The Suns begin the quest for revenge right. Still can't believe this is a 1st round matchup.
G1: (7) Dallas Mavericks @ (2) New Orleans Hornets (Series Tied 0-0)
Still can't believe this one's a 1st round matchup either. Two very good teams. The Hornets size down low should get them this W at home.
G1: (5) Houston Rockets @ (4) Utah Jazz (Series Tied 0-0)
I hate to say it, but those classless Jazz fans should get the brooms ready.
Post your Golden Picks and any playoff game thoughts in the comments.

why?
why is the cleveland crowd wearing yellow? it’s not even part of their team colors. we believe part 2? LOL
dang
agent zero his last shot in the first quarter… pure pwnge.
arenas
wasnt kidding he is hitting all his 3s.. wizzards are holdfing cavs without a fieldgoal for the last 6 minutes
I don't know what it is about these spurs
but I just can’t like them. I’m happy they’re down to the Suns right now.
Tim Duncan with a clutch three...
wow. First three of the season.
omg
duncan? lol.. i was like wtf… this is like me using shaq and making a 3 in nba live 08.
did
you see him in the all star game he was draining 3’s like he has been for years. i was not surprised when he shot that.
So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

DOUBLE OT!
I’m not a fan of either teams. I don’t find the Spurs boring at all. I’m not sure who I’m rooting for.
It’s been another classic battle between these two teams, AND it’s only game 1. No trouble seeing this going to 7 games.
If I had to root for one team here
I’d root for Steve Nash to make it to the finals.
Duncan
makes his FIRST 3 of the season to tie the game and take it to second OT. Truly where amazing happens.
that was pretty crazy
My first thought, “a page out of Nelson’s book.”

argh
suns lost game 1 by 2. This is going to be an insane first round series
wow
What a great game 1. Looking forward to the rest of this Suns-Spurs series, but I hope that the Suns make a comeback in the end.
wow
that was crazy i cant believe shaq stayed in with 5 fouls for over 15 minutes. Even more unbelievable was Nash passing the ball before the FIrst OT and before the end of the second OT.
Damn
Nash did all he could. sigh spurs always find a way to win against the suns during gametime. GOOD GAME!. I AM STILL HURT….NO WARRIORS BALL
brb, going to ORACLE
I'm glad
I’m not the only one missing Warriors ball right now

I was thinking
if this was a Dubs game I wouldn’t be juggling channels, not even during commercial breaks…=(...And I would flash on anyone who tried to change the channel, even during commercial breaks XP

Strange to see
Peja throwing up air balls.
OH
what is the point. The CELTICS are gonna win the championship. NBA is a scam! the popular team always wins, refs give them the calls all the time. OK , i am still venting about warriors not making the playoffs after a 48win season. arggg
brb, going to ORACLE
Hornets Crowd booing
who are they booing on Dallas? What’s the storyline there?
May be
they still think everyone on the Dallas team is BARON DAVIS ahahahhahah
brb, going to ORACLE
Hornets bench
is the second to last in points scored. That does not bode well for the Hornets in the post season.
Are the Hornets
suffering from playoffs jitters? Or are they just running out of gas?
Last year
the Mavs ran into Baron Davis. This year, they ran into Chris Paul.
I still
think that mavs vs hornets series will go full 7 games.
brb, going to ORACLE
In the fifth grade
Deron Williams favorite subject was math. Wonder how good he is with math nowadays.
Atma goes 4-0
Congrats!
As for my matchups, I’m going 3-1. The Jazz foiled me.

I'll openly admit I hate all things that are Boston sports, but with Powe (Oakland Tech + Cal), Eddie House (Hayward High), and Paul Pierce (born in Oakland) the Celtics have enough Bay Area ties to make me root for them to beat the Lakers in this year's finals.
By the way aren't you glad the Warriors selected Kosta Perovic instead of local favorite and role model Powe? No comment.](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/6424/default_small.jpg)
