(1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (4) Boston Celtics
The Celtics looked average in the second half of the regular season (going 27-27 in their final stretch), which ultimately created a few skeptics. Regardless, they managed to send the Heat packing in a convincing 5-game series. If the Celtics are going to upset the Cavaliers they need to find a way to slow down Lebron James, who averaged 36.5 points per game in the regular season against the Celtics.

(2) Orlando Magic vs. (3) Atlanta Hawks
The Orlando Magic have not played since last Monday night after they swept the Bobcats, which brings up the usual debate as to whether they are well rested or a little rusty. Regardless of their estate, the Magic have dominated the Hawks in recent past and even recorded their largest margin of victory against the Hawks in each of their last two seasons (with a 34-point victory and a 32-point victory, respectively). If Atlanta is looking to survive this series they will need to either contain Dwight Howard in the post or stay grounded on the Magic's three-point shooters. If they can manage at least one of these feats then they should pose a great threat to the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
