NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135338 West: Lakers (1) vs. Thunder (8) West%3A+Lakers+%281%29+vs.+Thunder+%288%29 NBA Not only do you have one of the game's greatest scorers of all time (Kobe Bryant) vs. the youngest scoring champ in NBA history (Kevin Durant), you have the Lakers vs. Themselves. A 4-8 finish makes L.A. the coldest team entering the playoffs, so the possibility of an epic upset makes this more riveting than any Hollywood horror flick. -- John Galinsky, FOXSports.com NBA editor

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135335 West: Nuggets (4) vs. Jazz (5) West%3A+Nuggets+%284%29+vs.+Jazz+%285%29 NBA Both teams were battling for the No. 2 seed in the West before screwing up down the stretch. Still, Denver and Utah both have dynamic offenses, with the Nuggets more explosive and the Jazz more efficient. Both also have elite point guards (Chauncey Billups and Deron Williams, pictured) and ailing power forwards (Kenyon Martin and Carlos Boozer).

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135334 West: Mavericks (2) vs. Spurs (7) West%3A+Mavericks+%282%29+vs.+Spurs+%287%29 NBA The West's old guard will be on display as Duncan battles Dirk once again in the playoffs. Despite the seeds, no one will be shocked if San Antonio prevails. The Spurs played their best basketball down the stretch and got healthy at the right time.

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135337 East: Celtics (4) vs. Heat (5) East%3A+Celtics+%284%29+vs.+Heat+%285%29 NBA The One-Man Gang vs. the Angry Old Men. Can Dwyane Wade beat the Celtics by himself? Probably not, but it'll be fun to watch him try.

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135336 West: Suns (3) vs. Blazers (6) West%3A+Suns+%283%29+vs.+Blazers+%286%29 NBA Can anyone stop Amar'e Stoudemire and the Suns, who finished the regular season on a 14-2 tear? The Blazers have a decent chance thanks to the Marcus Camby trade, but Brandon Roy's bum knee takes some starch out of this matchup.

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135333 East: Cavaliers (1) vs. Bulls (8) East%3A+Cavaliers+%281%29+vs.+Bulls+%288%29 NBA The most intriguing aspect of this series will be the relative rust levels of Shaquille O'Neal (pictured) and LeBron James. If the Cavs aren't clicking, Derrick Rose is good enough to steal a game or two for Chicago. Otherwise, Joakim Noah will be left whining as LeBron and Co. dance into the second round.

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135341 East: Magic (2) vs. Bobcats (7) East%3A+Magic+%282%29+vs.+Bobcats+%287%29 NBA Orlando has a huge advantage in talent, not to mention playoff experience. (This is Charlotte's first postseason berth.) The mercurial Stephen Jackson (pictured) can keep the Bobcats in the series, but the best way to liven things up would be for Michael Jordan to leave the owner's box and take the court for Charlotte.

NBA 73 43 Ranking the first-round playoff matchups 11135340 East: Hawks (3) vs. Bucks (6) East%3A+Hawks+%283%29+vs.+Bucks+%286%29 NBA Of all the precocious rookie point guards, only Brandon Jennings is starting for a playoff team. But the Bucks would have a better chance (and this would be a more interesting series) if Andrew Bogut was around to exploit Atlanta's lack of size. The Hawks' athleticism should be too much for Milwaukee's tenacity.
