Like I said this is the most competitive payoff in years regardless of seeding and will go down in the history book. Really made up for the long boring(last4 weeks) regular season.
I told my brother that this was the best year ever for all the lower seeds to advance to the next round...except the New York Knicks. They just don't fit the bill of a playoff team. Boston can close and New York will lose in 5 games. Following up on the upsets, I still think Portland will come back, winning the next two games. I think Denver is the least likely of the lower seeded WC teams to advance. With Gray out for the series, I will still say NO will win. Grizzlies had a tough close win but SA strength right now is perimeter play and I think the Grizzlies can match that.
The Knicks offense with their reserves in is a clown show. Melo needs to come in and take over the game after going bust in the 3rd quarter. Amare also needs to assert himself. Billups is running on fumes.
