NBA Playoff Update

Here's what happened in last nights slate of games and what I think will happen tonight in the NBA Playoffs.

San Antonio  86  
Memphis       104

What happened to San Antonio? When this series started nobody thought they would be doing this poorly to the lowly Memphis Grizzlies, and they surely didn't think the Grizzlies would win the series but that is what is about to happen. The Grizzlies will become only the 4th team in NBA history to beat a number one seed as an eight seed. Think about that for a second, the Grizzlies hadn't even won a playoff game before this series and now they're about to knock out the number one seed, and become one out of only 4 teams to do so ever in NBA history. I don't think the Grizzlies are going to do anything against the Thunder but they've proven they won't just sit down and take it either.

Oklahoma City  101                      
Denver              103

Alright everyone hold the phones, Oklahoma City is absolutely fine. This sort of thing happens in a best of 7 series, the Nuggets were facing a sweep and played with desperation and the Thunder thought they had the game in the bag and it slipped away from them. This loss will not hurt the Thunder that much and they will win the next game to advance to the next round



Dallas      93
Portland   82    

The Mavs got a statement win against the Blazers and put this series away. Yes I know there are still 2 games left but it was my thinking that whoever won game 5 won the series. This one is over in all but name.

Tonight

Hornets @ Lakers

I think the Lakers will win this one if they can contain Chris Paul, but with Bryant nursing a bum ankle and not at full strength I don't see a single player on the Lakers who can guard him. I don't think Chris Paul will be enough as the Lakers edge this one out at home.

Lakers lead series 3-2

Bulls vs Pacers

This series isn't even close and the Bulls put away the Pacers tonight

Bulls win Series 4-1

Hawks vs Magic

This is an interesting series, coming into it I thought the Magic would win easily but afer the lack of defense shown by the Magic the past few games I think the Hawks will win this game, and consequently the series

Hawks win series 4-1
