The 2013 NBA Playoffs Part 2

Hey There!

The last time I posted I discussed the eastern conference of the NBA 2013 playoffs. Before I get into the western conference, I would like to say that my predictions for the eastern conference have come into effect with the heat advancing to the second round of the playoffs. For the other teams it's getting pretty tight, i didn't think the hawks would be able to pull through and keep up the fight against the pacers, I still don't want Bulls to win because it would be easy for the heat to beat the nets.

Anyway, so the eastern conference, firstly spurs have advanced and beat Lakers so easily, Lakers have had a bad season, I hope the Lakers work on team chemistry and morale in the next few years to come. Moving on, so the thunder wear beating the rockets in the first week of the playoffs and had a pretty good lead, and then all of a sudden, the rockets thought 'hey, its getting pretty tight now, how about we start actually trying', so they did and to day, forced game six. I still believe the thunder deserve to win this because i know Durant as a team leader tries to hard to come first and would like to for once in his life, he feels he always comes second, i think it would benefit him a lot to get somewhere in the playoffs, especially for reaching the final last year.

In terms of clippers and grizzlies, i think grizzles may take this one, the grizzlies are really pressing forward in attack, I'm still unsure if clippers can take it and i feel grizzlies might surprise us and take the win, although i prefer the clippers, grizzlies have a great momentum going.

Lastly, I'm really confused about who to go for in relation to the clash between the nuggets and warriors, its too much of a tight clash, they are very similar in things they do, uniform, tactics, the way they play in general, i don't wanna put the weight of the team on one mans shoulders but i feel it is up to Curry to bring them a win, i say this because i know he is a magnificent player and team mate, the boy can play, he can school you, and i know that warriors feel the same way about him, he has been playing through his injury which shows great motivation and courage. Also, Curry and Thompson are a great tag-team, they know the courts and boy can they shoot and score. I'm gonna go with the warriors because of the way they play and for Curry's style.
Here's what the current bracket looks like.
