1. Top seed Spurs lead the series 3-2 over Phoenix Suns after the win last night. I give the series to Spurs over the next one or two games (The Suns are the kind of team that has been hard for the Spurs to put away this season).
2. Second seed Kings will "cake-walk" over the Jazz to finish the series in Sacramento in the fifth game. They lead 3-1 right now.
3. Third seed Mavs lead their series 3-1 over the Trailblazers and will try to close the series out today in Dallas (all fingers crossed).
4. KG put his foot in his mouth when he made the comment about beating the Lakers before the 4th game. He awakened the literal giant, Shaq and the Lakers have taken a 3-2 lead in the series with the win at Minnesota last night. I expect them to close the series out at LA in the next game.
In other news, the Dallas Stars are down 2-1 in the second round of play-offs with the Anaheim Ducks (this is the same position they were in with the Edmonton Oilers in the frst round - they came back to win that series).

A nice summary from Shanti!
Most likely it will be a repeat of last year’s round 1 => Dal-Sac and SA-LAL. I hope there will be different results for round 2 atleast!

Mavs had better end the Portland series tonight. They can’t blow a 3-1 lead.
Stars had also better win against Anaheim, else they’ll find themselves in the same situation as Portland.

I agree with both points, Gokul. Mavs absolutely need to close Portland off - no point giving them more hope.
Stars…I hope they pull this out just like they did with the Oilers.

That is a pretty good observation, Justin. That poor guy must be under so much pressure thanks to the first-round eliminations, it will not be surprising if he just breaks down.
