Only two games tonight in the NBA Playoffs, and no surprises on Sunday.
Games Tonight:
- 6:00 PM MT [TNT]: Milwaukee Bucks [6] (0-1) @ Chicago Bulls [3] (1-0)
- 8:30 PM MT [TNT]: New Orleans Pelicans [8] (0-1) @ Golden State Warriors [1] (1-0)
Series So Far:
Eastern Conference -- The top three seeds (Hawks, Cavaliers, Bulls) all won their first game at home, and the 4/5 series started off with a 5 seed win by the Wizards.
Western Conference -- The top three seeds (Warriors, Rockets, Clippers) all won their first game at home, and the 4/5 series started off with a 5 seed win by the Grizzlies.
We've seen the home teams, for the most part, start off the way they are supposed to, with a win. In a seven game 1st round series that starts you in the right direction; however, teams that lose the first game are still capable of winning the series. After all, the only thing the road team needs to do is steal one of the first two games.
Will one of these two teams do just that? I don't know. We'll have to play the games to see.
