As part of the NBA Reacts series, we asked for your predictions on the Eastern Conference Finals. Yes, we know that we’re already through one game of the series, but these things take time. Results need to be tallied, neat graph images need to be created, bloggers need to find time to publish those results, I mean these things don’t write themselves.
On to the results. Please note that my original version of the poll did NOT include an option for “Pacers win” and I’m offended that it was added. Also, shame on 4% of you.

Derrick White is perfect and has never done anything wrong in his entire life. So I approve of this selection. You also can’t go wrong with Holiday or Horford. Basically, I would pay good money to get life coach lessons from any of them. It is just a bonus that they play basketball at an elite level as well.

TJ McConnell sure is an experience.

Going to the National polls, it seems like most NBA fans agree that the Celtics should advance. Of course assuming that happens, it will be derided as “an easy path” to the Finals and Boston will be criticized for not winning in convincing enough fashion. But oh well.

Out West most people believe that the Wolves will advance to the Finals. They dropped game 1 last night, but I fully expect that to be a long series so anything could happen.
