I really don't think Washington over Cleveland qualifies as an upset. After all, Cleveland only just clinched the higher seed yesterday. I'd say they are pretty evenly matched, and with Arenas back the Wizards might have an edge.
If that qualifies, its the most likely upset. If not, I'll go with Toronto over Orlando. That matchup might be interesting, as its never clear what will happen when two teams with relatively limited big time experience come together like that.

Pretty easy...either Wiz over Cavs or Raps over Magic.

I could actually see Toronto and Washington winning their series.
Washington is playing much better than Cleveland. They will have a healthy butler and Arenas.
Toronto only needs to get hot from outside... Orlando has no perimter defense. Dwight will get his, but if Toronto can knock down their three's like they do, they have a chance.
Detroit and Boston are locks.

But we shoot better from three than you do, and are WAAY more consistent. And your defense is alot WORSE than ours. Your like 25th in the league in 3 pt defense.

what? Once again you look at a stat and it doesn't tell the whole story. We take a hell of alot more than you so naturally our percentage is just a little bit worse. Everyone that watches orlando and toronto knows that Orlando shoots threes and toronto is one of the WORSE teams in the league defending it.

A 50% 50% series can't be an upset for any team, wiz and cav are 50 50. same with magic, but i think magic will win.
the question is pistons or celtics. i say it's more likely they lose to the sixers than the celtics losing any team.

Now that would be an upset. I seriously doubt that anyone would have the Cavs favored in this series. The poll on this site has the Wiz 3-1 over the Cavs how you could call the Cavs favorites after that I don't know.

Because cavs are the higher seed?

The only prove that Cavs COULD be better or the favourite for this series, is that they were in the NBA finals last year, but then again, Wizards were without Arenas and Butler.
