Summary The Lakers clinch the #1 seed in the west and cruise through the playoffs, that is until they face Boston in a repeat of the 2008 Finals. Trust me it will have the same result. The clippers behind NBA rookie Blake Griffin will get their first playoff berth in this millennium in a LA 1st round match up. The Yao-less Rockets miss the playoffs for the 1st time in 5 years and the Mavericks, Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Nuggets, and Trailblazers maker playoff returns.
