    The Pacers, Nets, Thunder, Mavericks, Rockets and Warriors are all down 3-2. Which team(s) do you think will force a game seven? 

    Who are you picking to win each series?

    So many things to factor in. But I would say the team with the least chance to force a game 7 would be OKC to me. Its just too much of a tough matchup, and on top of that the Grizz smell blood in the water. I don’t know if Hawks smell the same thing, I think Hawks might get a little jittery knowing they have a chance to put out the Pacers.

    I think Golden State pulls off their best game of the series tonight. I think when the Rockets play the next game Portland has to make sure close like they have before, but I also get the feeling Aldridge might be coming down a bit. Take in mind its one bad game, but throwing Asik and Howard at him consistently will force wear him down a bit. Nets have guys that know what it takes to win, but the longer this series goes on those tired legs start to reveal themselves. Mavs I think have a shot at extending it, but I feel it will be like prolonging the inevitable.

    Alot of if’s and buts and pure speculation buuuuuut…

    Memphis advances

    Pacers force a game 7

    Toronto advances

    Mav’s force game 7

    Rockets force game 7

    Warriors force game 7

     Pacers – With their backs against the wall I think It could be their final wake up call. I believe that they prevail and take the next two game.

    Nets – Veteran’s, this is where they show up, in the spotlight, especially these guys. I think they win game 6 and somehow pull it out and take the series! Stop DeRozen and Lowrey. D Will needs to out play Kyle as well as #34 needs to have a big 2 games.

    Mavs – Made a fantastic first few games, but it’s hard to phase these San Antonio fellas, I think Spurs win the next game.

    Rockets – I think the majority of people will say they win game 6. But I don’t think they come out with a W. I see LA going back to a game 1/2 preformence and end it in 6…at home

    Warriors – This series has been interesting. I mean they come out with a 40 point win….few days later lose by almost 20. It’s obvious that the Sterling thing made an impact on the Clips, I see Doc doing what he did in game 5, use it as Fire to ignite these guys

    Thunder – I think they lose game 6. The Grizz just seem to be their kryptonite. KD get to the post bro! You have a half of foot on Tony Allen! Use it to your advantage

    Tonights Winners

    Atlanta – Atlanta makes some more ridiculous 3pt. shots, Teague continues to get to the hole at ease, Stephenson get real And-1 mixtape in desperation, and Paul George admits it was him in the pictures…I am taking Atlanta

    Memphis – I really do not know how to feel about this series, but I will take Memphis b/c I do not like the chemistry between Westbrook and KD right now (ever heard that before?), and Tony Allen has been in KD’s night mares all week it appears.

    Golden State – I think there is just too much fire power on this team for them to be eliminated tonight after having only one truly dominate shooting performance in the playoffs.

    Throughout the rest of the playoffs I am taking Atlanta, Memphis, Toronto, Clippers, Portland, and Spurs.  My biggest surprises would be if Memphis pulls it off, and I would love to see Dallas win their series, but see it as probably the least likely to happen

    I guess for the Raps to get any respect they are going to have to beat the Heat or scare some Heat fans by making the series close. Its funny when they lose its because they are selfish and inexperienced yet when they win irs because the Nets are old. In reality the Raps have heart which makes big plays in the postseason.

      I wasn’t giving the Nets an excuse or a pass for being old. I just think the Raptors youth is an advantage. And you’ll have to excuse me for not believing the Raptors will put a scare into the Heat. They have no answer for James just like the Bobcats had no answer for him. I do respect the Raptors, they are a playoff team that didn’t get into the post season due to luck; They got in because they are a good team. But realistically, the Pacers hype was off the scale because they took the two time champs to a game 7. Respect is earned, not given.

    I have the Hawks closing it out the Pacers body language is terrible, They blame each other on every other play complain every play and the hawks matchup well.  

    Memphis closing it out though this one is a toss up.  Memphis is physical to me looks like the favorite in the west.   

    Clippers close it out I want to say the warriors b/c i like them so much but im not confident in which team is going to show up.

     Spurs close it out.  Mavs are solid but i feel they are overplaying and spurs will take the next one.  

     I think the Rockets will win the next two.  I wouldn’t be suprised if the Blazers won the next game but I think the rockets are the better team.  Blazers have closed out and play every possesion unlike the rockets but I just feel like when the rockets move the ball they have so many pieces that they are nearly impossible to guard.  

    I think the Nets take the next game but will loose to the young Raps team in game 7.  With exception to the first game I watch and think the raps are the better team but when I look at the score somehow the Nets are right there.  I kept thinking they can’t keep playing like this though.  But they are good and if forced to game 7 that home crowd should help them pull it out.

     Pacers win tonight and win their series. Atlanta is not gonna shoot like they did in game 6.  

     Brooklyn is probably done. Toronto is just the more talented team and should close it out in game 6.

     Warriors win tonight at home to force a game 7.

     Blazers win tomorrow at home.

     Memphis wins tomorrow at home.

     Spurs win tomorrow in Dallas and take the series.
