Here are the brackets.

Eastern Conference

1 Miami Heat vs. 8 Atlanta Hawks

4 Philadelphia 76ers vs. 5 Toronto Raptors

3 Milwaukee Bucks vs. 6 Chicago Bulls

2 Boston Celtics vs. 7 Brooklyn Nets

.

Western Conference

1 Phoenix Suns vs. 8 New Orleans Pelicans

4 Dallas Mavericks vs. 5 Utah Jazz

.

3 Golden State Warriors vs. 6 Denver Nuggets

Which series are you most excited to see and who do you think takes the trophy?

Personally, I love the bottom of the Western Conference bracket in terms of matchups, though you can’t really go wrong with the top half either. A lot of people will love to see the Celtics vs. the Nets, but I think Milwaukee can take out either. The Bucks are my pick to come out of the East and take it all again. Can you do better than I?
