Before the playoffs kicked off, "Octopus" Stan made his first-round playoff predictions as usual.

This year, he again predicted two upsets, but both were in the East; he predicted the 76ers would overturn the Bulls, and the Hawks would eliminate the Celtics.

Regarding the West, the Grizzlies and the Mavericks posed the greatest suspense; he predicted that the Grizzlies would ultimately win and also forecasted a game seven battle between the two.

This year, his predictions were off the mark; the Celtics eliminated the Hawks, and the Grizzlies won more easily than he had predicted.
