I am so excited to watch the 4 big games tomorrow going into All Star Weekend. Potential playoff matches all across the board ! I expect all 8 of these teams to play really hard, it will be playoff type atmosphere. Game 1 New York Knicks vs Miami Heat Game 2 Orlando Magic vs Atlanta Hawks Game 3 San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets Game 4 Los Angeles Lakers vs OKC Thunder ******* Game 1 -- Most excited for this game. Big statement/test game for the New York Knicks coming off a loss to the Nets at home. I think they will play really well, but I expect Miami to win this game with Lebron/Wade showing Melo and the Knicks where their pecking order is in the East. My Prediction: Miami wins 107-94 Game 2 -- 2 somewhat disappointing teams, Magic and Hawks. Has potential to be a good ugly game, I think this is a must win for the Magic though, they need to show that they are a top 5 team in the East with this win. Atlanta is at home but still, My prediction: Magic win 82-75 Game 3 -- Spurs got blown out last night because they rested their main players for tonight. Their last two losses have been last night (where Parker, Duncan, Ginobili all sat out) and against the Mavs back in Jan. (where their starters sat for the whole 4th quarter). Denver will play hard but have been struggling (only .500 at home!), but SAS have been playing incredible. I think this is a tough game for the Spurs against Denver at home. This is a tossup in my opinion but I will make a bold prediction, My prediction: Denver wins 104-89 Game 4 -- A True test for both the teams as the Lakers face the #1 team in the west and OKC wants to show that they belong as the kings of the conference. The game is a home game for the Thunder where they have only lost 1 game ALL season -- meanwhile the Lakers are a dismal 5-11 on the road. However I think the Lakers have more to prove going into allstar break and will want this game more. My Prediction: Lakers win 91-86 Thoughts? Predictions?
72 points in the first half for OKC....so many sweet dunks. And rainbow threes. That was a fun first half.
