With both the Bulls-Hawks and OKC-Grizz series tied at 2-2 and each team taking a game from their opponents home floor what series do you see more poised for an upset?

Personally I think both the Hawks and Grizz could upset their opponents, but I think the Hawks are more likely to beat the Bulls then the Memphis beating OKC. Both their home games were decided in OT and both times they had to come back from deficites to force the game there. I think OKC has realized that Memphis is no push over and they are going to have to give 100% in all 4 quarters in order to beat them and OKC is definitely capable of doing that. With homecourt regained I think they will be able to take the Grizz in 6-7

Although the Grizz match up well with OKC and maybe even overmatch them at the majority of possessions I think Atlanta matches up really well the Bulls especially with Teague playing inspired ball. In ATL’s two victories D. Rose has avg. 29.5 shots which means that he has felt the need to take over the scoring load because Deng and Boozer have been unable to due to sound defense by Josh Smith and Marvin Williams (mostly). Furthermore, Al Horford and Zaza do a great job of clogging up the middle, taking away driving lanes for Rose. 

I’m not saying ATL will upset the Bulls, but I think they are better equipped to pull off the upset considering how both series have played out and the fact both are tied at 2-2.

I think the Grizz have the better shot. Although both series are tied I can say with confidence Memphis has played better,and have been consistant.  Atlanta isn’t surprising me with winning games,but this post season has gone like their regular season,they are sharing the ball,playing good D and playing to their collective advantages,and the next game its isolation and contested 17-21 foot jumpers.

 I think the Grizzlies have a better chance at upsetting the Thunder, but I don’t think any upset is going to happen in any of the series. But both series will be close. I’d say the Thunder vs Grizzlies series could go to 7 games, while the Bulls and Hawks will only go to 6 games.

I think the Hawks have a slight edge because of their experience in close games. They know that Crawford is their closer and Joe Johnson is the primary scorer. Wtih the Bulls to close out games of course teams will double Rose and when Rose is forced to pass their really isn’t a defined guy who steps up and takes important shots.
