NBA Playoffs: Semifinals Picks

Welcome to the Truda Report everybody. Today I'll be giving my series and game predictions for the NBA Playoff match ups of tonight. Make sure to follow my Instagram @thetrudareport for updates on when I post, and also so you can request new topics.

Update on my picks:
Games: 23-9
Series: 7-1

Boston Celtics @ Washington Wizards:
The Celtics have owned this series, making comebacks in both games so far this series. In my opinion, Isaiah Thomas has elevated his game to superstar status, and has been absolutely spectacular. I took the Wizards in 7 games, and to be honest, that pick isn't looking very good. I'm taking Washington to win tonight's game though, because John Wall has been quietly un-guardable, and with home court, I think they can pull this off. If they lose tonight though, the series is basically over and the Celtics will move on. 

Utah Jazz @ Golden State Warriors:
The Warriors are currently leading this series 1-0, and I have yet to put my official pick in. Obviously I'm taking the Warriors, and I'll say it's going to take 5 games. I want to say 6 based on decent play from the Jazz in Game 1, but I also don't see the Warriors letting this series get that out of hand. Tonight I'm taking the Warriors to take a 2-0 lead, mostly because of the home court advantage. If the Jazz are going to win a game against the Warriors, it's going to be in Utah.
