Western Conference outlook part 2

It's pretty pointless to pick playoff winners in October, but it's also pretty fun. Considering I picked the Tennessee Titans to win six games this year (they're 7-0), my predictions need to be taken with a truck-full of salt. But hey, it's always fun to look back after the fact and realize how dumb you were.

So here goes...

ROUND 1
1. New Orleans def. 8. LA Clippers

2. LA Lakers def. 7. Portland

3. Houston def. 6. Phoenix

5. San Antonio def. 4. Utah

ROUND 2
1. New Orleans def. 5. San Antonio

2. LA Lakers def. 3. Houston

WEST FINALS
1. New Orleans def. 2. LA Lakers

Let the criticism begin
