Which Series Will Go The Distance?

by **Matt** on Wed May 03, 2006 9:34 pm

Lakers 3 - Suns 2
Spurs 3 - Kings 2
Heat 3 - Bulls 2
Nets 3 - Pacers 2
Cavs 2 - Was 2

4 teams can advance in their next game, but will they be pushed to a 7th game. I think Lakers, Spurs & Nets will close it out in game 6, and Bulls will push for a 7th. The Cavs - Wiz series will be 3-2 in someones advantage after tomorrow, but either way i say it goes to Wiz in 7.

I'd like to see Kings beat Spurs though and force a 7th game but the Spurs are pretty good at closing out a series.

nets/pacers
bulls/heat
cavs/washington

do you want the outcome predicted too?

by **Matt** on Wed May 03, 2006 9:40 pm

if you wish...but personally i'm taking it game-by-game since this years playoff predictions of mine have been WAY off.

by **Matthew** on Wed May 03, 2006 9:45 pm

Nets, Heat and Wizards. I wouldnt be shocked to see chicago win game 7, and same with the Cavs. I'm almost certain the nets would take game 7 at home, they have no answer for vince.

id like to see the nets take it out in the next game but i think it will go to 7

by **zmac** on Wed May 03, 2006 10:40 pm

I see Cavs/Wizards, Nets/Pacers and Spurs/Kings going to game 7.
I got a good feeling that the Kings will get to 7 coz the Spurs havent been playing that great....but I dunno.
I also have a feeling that the Cavs will lose to Wizards in 7, but if they lose tommorow, I think it will only go to 6.

With Game 6 in Chicago, I think the Heat/Bulls series has a very good chance of going the distance, where the Bulls should have a chance of winning despite being on the road for a Game 7. As is my custom I'm going to avoid getting Homerish but I believe they have more than just a shred of hope.

Suns/Lakers...I think it's going to seven. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers close out in Game 6 and a successful comeback from 3-1 is a huge ask for a Suns team that hasn't looked as good as expected but I'll predict it goes to seven. I'm already out on my original prediction anyway, even if the Suns do prevail.

I don't think the Spurs will let another one slip by, they're closing out in six, they're a Tony Parker blunder away from having taken the series 4-1 with today's win. Games 7s for Nets/Pacers and Cavaliers/Wizards.

of the above, i think only the lakers-suns series will go the distance...kobe and the lakers will move on to the next round.

If the Suns can pull one out in Staples Center, I think they'll win the last one at home. Last night's win was pretty convincing that the Suns made the adjustment they needed to get the offense going.

by **Christopherson** on Thu May 04, 2006 5:51 am

I agree, I think that if the Suns can get it going early in game 6, they can can win the game and close it out at home in Arizona. I think this year's opening round of the playoffs has been one of the best in recent memory, with lots of even series. I love the physical play we have seen, and there are storylines galore. I Love The NBA. Its Faaaaaaantastic!

Not to mention, all the fines being assessed.

by **Anthony15** on Thu May 04, 2006 9:46 am

Nets and Pacers, Wizards and Cavs will probably go into game 7. LAL vs PHO, after the suspencion of Raja, Kobe will get much more points and will win in 6.

by **Scotty** on Thu May 04, 2006 11:12 am

Lakers 4 - Suns 3 (go to 7)
Spurs 4 - Kings 2 (wont)
Heat 4 - Bulls 2 (wont)
Nets 4 - Pacers 3 (go to 7)
Cavs 3 - Was 4 (go to 7)

imo 8-)

you seem to have 2 teams winning...

by **AI_MVP** on Thu May 04, 2006 12:04 pm

i think lakers/suns & cavs/wiz r the only ones going to 7

by **KIG1** on Thu May 04, 2006 1:43 pm

I think that the Cavs and Wiz will go to game 7. The Cavs will end up winning though after Lebron's 40 point, 10 rebound, 6 assist game.

by **Matthew** on Thu May 04, 2006 2:17 pm

I wouldn't be so certain. Lebron played great, and the cavs had one good run with him on the bench, but washington has alot more options in terms of scoring which could be critical to win a 7th game. look at how cleveland struggled once lebron was double teamed as soon as he put the ball on the floor.

I'm sticking with my wizards in 7 pick.

by **nets4life** on Thu May 04, 2006 2:28 pm

heat and bulls will go to 7. the rest will win in 6

by **John WB** on Fri May 05, 2006 4:23 am

Heat/Bulls in 7
Kings/Spurs in 7
Cavs/Wizards in 7

the rest in 6

So much for my prediction on Bulls/Heat. Knew I should've kept my mouth shut. :shake:

by **Axel** on Fri May 05, 2006 1:40 pm

Bulls played well for the series, but it was inevitable that they wouldn't shoot so well from 3 for the entire series.

by **The_Flying_Tomato** on Fri May 05, 2006 4:14 pm

suns went the distance so far. keep the heat flowing, boys.

... oh wait.. omg i have work on saturday!!!!! game better be 7:30. I might catch the end of it. I get off at 10.

by **dinocarlo** on Fri May 05, 2006 5:46 pm

Spurs might close it out tomorrow against the Kings. They seem to be able to play well when it counts the most. The Cavs and Wizards match-up is harder to predict.

I won't count out the Kings yet though.
