Which 1st Round match up will be most exciting to watch?
Do any of the lower seeds have a chance to win their series?
Which players will have big impacts on the 1st Round?

Rules: 1 point if you give thoughtful answers, which I will award after the timer ends for responses. The timer ends for responses at the moment the corresponding week's Sim is run.

Note: Use approximately 5 sentences as your bare minimum for 1 point. If you write 3 long, complex sentences, you'll still get a point. If you write 5, 3 word sentences, you will not get a point. Don't @ me.

Due: Deadline for Round 1 Game 1

Obviously I’m most excited about my matchup with the Kings. Both of us got off to slow starts and then had strong finishes to get here. Also, if you go look at our team stats, we are very similar in basically every category except for blocks. We’ve met once before in the playoffs and that went to game 7 so it will be fun to see if I can get my revenge.

If any lower seed is going to win the 1st round it’ll likely be either the Kings or the Nets. Both teams are playing really well right now and both GMs have tons of experience in the playoffs. They would be the ones to be able to expose the 4 seeds.

In the Kings/supersonics series, I think Clyde and Lasalle are going to be the ones to have to step up in order for either team to advance to the next round

I think my sleeper for excitement is the Rockets and the Suns.
Both Ewing and Malone had Monster seasons and put their respective teams on their backs.
The Rockets are the hottest team in the league coming in, but the Suns do match up fairly well.
But no team had a more up and down season than the Suns.
They consistently won 3 or 4 and then lost 3 or 4 over and over all season.
I think this one goes 6 before the Rockets overpower the Suns.

Also, I believe the Nets-Pistons match is very interesting.
The Pistons had the largest fall from grace after trading away that Rambis contract, and the Nets turned their season around late.
While the momentum says the Nets would surge passed the Pistons, I think they still have an advantage in the front court that will get them a trip to Milwuakee.
I think Terry Cummings comes up big, and Kevin Willis controls the paint.
