NBA Playoffs Round Two

Whew! After the most exciting opening round of NBA Playoffs in recent memory, it is on to the 2nd
round. But I want to give a look back and give my 1st round what ifs.  I will share three of them.

What if Zach Randolph had played in game 7 against the Thunder?
What if the Clippers had any other coach other than Doc Rivers?  Considering the Donald Sterling situation.
What if the Rockets knew that the only way they could lose game 6 with 0.9 seconds in regulation was if someone name Damien Lillard shot a three and they should deny any attempt beyond the arc?

Now on to round 2!

The Heat open tonight against the Nets. They did not beat them in the regular season.  They are
not as good as they were last year. But Lebron James can almost will them to win. This goes 7.
Heat survive!

Pacers are in trouble. The Wizards are rested and not in awe of them. Pacers peaked too early in the season and are paying now. Nene inside, Ariza outside and John Wall leading the break spells upset in 6.

 
Out west, I like the Spurs to take out Portland in 5. I don't see the Blazers ready for this onslaught.
Spurs play defense and can score in half court. Things the Rockets could not do.


OKC and Clippers will be the most exciting series to watch.  Not sure who wins. The consensus of the crew of #GTLivechat is Thunder Up. Join us and give your opinion before the start of the game. We are the Twitter Sports and Entertainment Version of  +GMA.  My co host is @KeshisCuties
