Rough Riders

These NBA Playoffs have been very exciting and physical. You have to expect more of that tonight. The Heat and Grizzlies are both trying to close out their series. Miami is at home and up 3-1 over the Bulls. Chicago's physical play has stirred some controversy. These two teams do not like each other. They have both gotten under the other team's skin. I have Miami closing it out at home.  The Grizzlies are on the road and face off with the Russell  Westbrook-less Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Kevin Durant has put up huge numbers, but has not had much help. Durant really has not performed well in the 4th quarter in the last few games. Durant has been playing a lot and has been tired come crunch time. However I think he will get the job done tonight for the OKC fans. Follow me on Twitter @MM8sports. 

Blackout in Brooklyn

Tonight, the Nets and the banged up Bulls will take the floor in Game 7 of the series. After an epic Game 4 win by the Bulls, the Nets have won two straight to tie up the series. The winner of this will take on the Heat. The Bulls have had injury after injury, but keep on fighting. Luol Deng is out for tonight's game. The atmosphere will be ecstatic at the Barclays Center. The Nets have been sharing the ball well and have had a balanced scoring attack. Reggie Evans was an absolute beast on the boards on Thursday. He grabbed 15 rebounds. The Nets' big three each scored 17 points in the win. Marco Belinelli has had a great series for the Bulls. This will be close throughout, but I think the Nets will run away with it in the end. 

The rest of the Playoffs are set. There are some great matchups to watch. Stephen curry and the Warriors will take on the Spurs. Curry has been playing like a superstar lately. In the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and Pacers both survived their 1st round opponents and will face off tomorrow at the Garden. This should a great series. The Thunder and the Grizzlies will go at it. Zach Randolph has been unstoppable as of late. I think he will have a great series.
