NBA Playoffs:Western Series Predictions

The Playoff picture in the NBA's West is all set (sadly after Russel Westbrook hit a game clincher to eliminate my Nuggets), although it looks like its going to leave us with only 1 truly competitive series and 1 great story line series.  The Clippers and Jazz should play tightly against each other, with the average margin of victory at home for either squad being less than 2 points.  THe story line series we've been waiting for is Westbrook vs Harden in OKC vs Houston.
