Eastern Conference Semi-Finals Match-ups:
The Eastern Conference Round 2 Match-ups are particularly intriguing this season for a few reasons. The fact that the Orlando Magic failed to make it to the 2nd round after making it all the way to the finals 2 seasons ago & the fact that the past few seasons, both Lebron James and Dwayne Wade have both been defeated by the Boston Celtics & they're taking it very Personal.

Western Conference Semi-Finals Match-ups:
The Western Conference Round 2 Match-ups are almost as intriguing as the Eastern Conference match-ups this season. The Dallas Mavericks have been absolutely dissapointing for the last 3 seasons in the Playoffs, but this year they managed to get to the 2nd round & will certainly have their hands full with the Lakers. The Oklahoma City Thunder were the surprising team in last seasons Western Conference taking the Lakers to 7 games in the 1st round, and now they're going up against an equally surprising Grizzlies team who just pulled off a 1st round win over the #1 seeded San Antonio Spurs to put themselves into the History books. Only 3 teams that were ranked #8 have ever upset the #1 seed in the 1st round of the playoffs ever, so they're a force to be reckoned with in this years post-season.
