Eastern:
Well, NOW the Miami vs. Toronto series is tied 2 to 2. Dwayne Wade played great for Miami last night. The Heat won by 7 points in O/T.
Game 5 of the Heat vs. Raptors series moves to Toronto tomorrow night. I think Kyle Lowry and the Raptors can win Game 5, but the Raptors really struggle against the Heat's defense.
Meanwhile...the Cavaliers are resting, sizing up both teams and putting together strategies for either scenario. Bastards.
Western:
Steph Curry returned to play for the Warriors last night. Good thing; Shaun Livingston was ejected from the game early on for the first time in his 11 year career. He's like the mellowest dude on the court, but he argued a call with a ref and out he went.
It was a close game and Curry wasn't hot on the score board until the second half. Harrison Barnes hit a 3-pointer for the Warriors near the end of the fourth which tied the game at 111. That's when Curry really got hot and broke another record -- he scored 17 points in O/T (40 points in all) and the Warriors won the game 132 to 125. Damian Lillard scored 36 points, 10 assists and six rebounds and CJ McCollum added 24 points for the Blazers at home, and it still wasn't enough to stop the Warriors.
The Warriors lead the series 3 - 1 with game 5 going down in Oakland tomorrow night. I think my friends' 5-game series prediction is more likely to become reality than my 6-game series prediction. It's gonna be very hard for the Blazers to win in Oakland when the Warriors are all fired up and Steph is back in action.
If the Warriors eliminate the Trail Blazers, they'll take on either the San Antonio Spurs or the OKC Thunder; both tough teams.
The Spurs / Thunder series has been an exciting one and a lot of fun to watch. The series is tied 2 to 2. Game 5 in San Antonio starts at 5 pm tonight.
