WEST: Blazers (17-19) Vs Lakers (14-22) Portland won the season series between these two squads 2-1 with two games being real close and 1 being a blowout win for Portland. Blazers come in after beat the #2 seeded Kings last round in 4 games one was a forfeit win which hopefully we don't see any of in this series. The Lakers come in after beating the #1 Rockets in 5 games and they dominated game 5. One thing that I found interesting when looking into these two teams is the Lakers in beating the Rockets last round either played really good or REALLY BAD. This should be a really close series in my opinion and if the Lakers can be a little more consistent they might give the Blazers some real problems and end the series in 4. BUT I don't see that happening so: Blazers in 5 Players to Watch: @MintOverMango 18ppg 9 Ast 1 Reb 2.3 Steals 50 FG% @DEMBURGHBOYZ412 7ppg 9Reb 2.3 Ast 2 Steals 71.4 FG% @Kingdeydey_ 17ppg 12 Ast 2 Steals 87.5 FG% (He keeps shooting like this it will be tough to beat his line) @Black_Mamba_5xs 10.5ppg 13.5 Reb 2.5 Ast 2 Steals 1 Blk 44.4 FG% (Going to have to step up his shoot %) EAST: Kincks (30-6) Vs Pistons (26-10) Knicks won the the season series 3-0 with 1 blowout and 1 OT game. The Knicks come in after sweeping the Bulls and the Pistons come in after beating the Bucks in 4 with the only loss coming against the Bucks top line who is pretty tough. This will be the be a really good series to watch so tune into the streams!! One thing that stands out is will the internal fighting with the Pistons stop or do they keep at it and does it end up affecting they're play at all??? The discord was quite interesting last week with there little fight. On the Knicks side does the 2nd line continue to play as well as they did against the Bulls??? If they do the series wont last long if they don't the series will be really close and probably go 4 or 5 games.
