I'm a game late on these picks, so I'm cheating a bit, but here it goes...

Cavs, Magic, Celtics, Hawks

Lakers, Nuggets, Mavs, Rockets

Cavs over Hawks
Magic over Celtics

Lakers over Rockets
Nuggets over Mavs

Cavs over Magic
Lakers over Nuggets
 
Cavs over Lakers

Pretty boring picks, I pretty much went by seed.  The only thing that resembles an upset is the Mavs beating the Spurs and the Rockets beating the Blazers.  I don't buy into the Blazers or Heat, they're too young.  The Heat REALLY showed their youth in the first game against the Hawks.  They're really not that good, people just get blinded by DWade's 50 point games, but in reality it's a terrible matchup for the Heat because Atlanta's D is tall and athletic enough to keep DWade from getting to the rim and forcing him to shoot jumpers, the rest of their cast isn't good enough to help him out.  Similar story for Portland, they're too young and inexperienced.  Beyond that, I think this is the most top heavy season in recent memory.  It would be a major upset if the Lakers didn't reach the finals.  In the east, there are 3 good teams, but one just got a lot worse with Garnett going down, Bulls are on upset watch IMO.  Orlando can score the upset over Cleveland, but it would be a surprise still.  Vegas has a Cleveland-LA finals as a less than even money bet.

Since the NBA went to a 7 game series for the first round, I think we just witnessed the best and worst 7 game first round series in NBA history, in the same week!  Chicago and Boston play 4 OT games with 7 rounds of OT and all 7 games are decided by 10 points or less, and had about 130+ lead changes.  Meanwhile, Miami and Atlanta play 7 games that are all decided by double digits, there were 15 lead changes in the entire series, none after the 1st quarter.  It was full of flagrant fouls, unnecessary showboating and just about every game was over at halftime.  It's also the first time the Hawks win a game 7 since 1961, and the first time they win a 7 game series in my entire 27 year lifetime.

Agreed Archie about the differences of the game 7s that we saw on Sat night and Sun afternoon.
