Thursday night NBA playoffs are completed and one team advances, one series will go to a deciding game seven. The Golden State Warriors are into the next round, winning 92 – 88 over Denver to advance to round 2. Glad to have this one done, things were starting to get a bit ugly, accusations of “dirty play”, coaches being fined regarding comments about officiating. So, this one in the books.
Meanwhile, the Bulls and the Nets, not so fast my friend. The Nets take down the Bulls in Chicago, 95 – 92, and now there will be a deciding game seven in Brooklyn. Um…I am thinking perhaps Brooklyn takes this series in seven? Bulls are of course missing superstar Derek Rose.
Tonight, we have four games that are all at 3-2, so we will perhaps have more teams advancing and others forcing a deciding game seven.
Indy will play the Hawks in Atlanta. Look for Atlanta to win this one and force a game seven. (Or not, see update below). Also, the Knicks face the Celtics in Boston. Hard to call here, Knicks should advance but it is in Boston…so?
Late games, OKC without Westbrook plays at Houston. Toss up for sure? LA Clippers vs. Memphis…what is wrong with the Clippers? Thought they would have this wrapped up by now. So we shall see…
Switching quickly to MLB. the Braves fell to the Nationals last night at Turner Field, 3 -1, so that series ended up in a 2-2 split. The Braves and the Nats are expected to be the main rivals for first place in the division. GO BRAVES!
Update: Well, I might be off base on my prediction…Hawks trail the Pacers by a mile at the half. Meanwhile, the Celtics are losing to the Knicks at half, 39 – 27. Home teams are not faring well so far in the early games!
