We asked our ESPN Forecast panel who would prevail in Round 1 of the Western Conference playoffs, and our voters see things getting wild, naturally.
The panel sees the defending champion Spurs beating the higher-seeded Clippers and two series going the distance, with the Rockets and Grizzlies both prevailing in seven games.
How it works: The ESPN Forecast panel predicted each team's likelihood of winning each of the seven potential games and each team's likelihood of winning the series. The top-line "Forecast" is based on a combination of the mean, median and mode of the predictions for each series.
