2015 NBA Playoff Predictions (*Written 4/17/15)

Excuse me as I clear my throat.  Ahem...."Play-Awwwfffs?!?!" (In my most shriekiest Jim Mora voice).  With all due respect to the season of Christmas, this is the most wonderful time of the year---if you're an NBA fan at least.   

This is all the time when my alter-ego, "Dice-A-Damus" makes his highly anticipated appearance on your local social network to make solid and accurate NBA predictions.
