Rumor has it that after the Chicago Bulls got stomped by the Cavaliers Sunday, GM Jon Paxson walked up to Head Coach Vinny Del Negro and asked him, "Head or gut?"
Chicago need only suffer one more loss as LeBron and his minions march to the final. At least that how it appears at the moment. The Magic are certainly worthy of consideration. However Dwight Howard has to get himself under control and out of foul trouble. If the waves of big bodies that Charlotte ran at Howard were a problem, then Cleveland and their bigs are going to win the key match-up if things go according to plan.
We thought that Denver would threaten the L.A. Lakers chances of a repeat. We forgot to inform the Utah Jazz of our prediction. Please forgive us dear passengers. We were so mesmerized by Carmelo Anthony's stellar play that we ignored the fact that the Nuggets abhor playing defense.
The Mavericks/Spurs series is reminiscent of 80's NBA playoffs. These guys are bangin' out there. The Mavs just have not been able to close games like the Spurs and it has cost them an almost insurmountable series deficit. Once again Dallas is about to drop a series to a much lower seeded team.
The Spurs will not have time to catch their breath because the Suns will run circles around them. The emotional high of Brandon Roy's return in game four aside as well as the Trailblazer victory in game one, the Suns are in control of this series.
The Pau Gasol and the Lakers sound as if they are gonna just flip a switch and dispose of OKC starting with tonight's game five. The problem with that thinking is now the young lion has tasted blood it wants more. The Lakers just might have to go seven games with the Thunder before it is all said and done.
