San Antonio is looking like they are going to breeze back into NBA Finals after two games at home.

The Thunder were showing signs that the loss of Serge Ibaka is going to be a big one. Not only did they lose game one, the first loss to San Antonio all season long, they looked soft in the middle, something that is going to be hard to correct over the course of the series.
The Thunder won a spirited series against the Clippers. They are definitely one of the top teams in the West but this group has yet to reach the very top of the mountain.
Indiana could not slam the door on the Wizards in game 5 at home. Now they travel back to Washington and their confidence has to be at least a little bruised after a humbling 102-7 loss.
The Clippers’ Blake Griffin posted his first double-double of the playoffs in Tuesday’s game five of the Western Conference Semifinals, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Thunder from taking a one game advantage heading into game six at the Staples Center on Friday.
It is crunch time in two of the four NBA Conference Semifinal matchups this Tuesday night. After digging deep into the key stats and betting trends for both of these games, I am ready to release this week’s “NBA Parlay Play”.
The Los Angeles Clippers will look to make it two in a row after an amazing comeback in game four over the weekend, and try to take a one-game advantage in the series on Tuesday, in game five of the Western Conference semifinals.
What is going on with the Wizards? After looking so strong to start the series they have now lost three games in a row and will be facing elimination on Tuesday night.
The Pacers have a lead in the series for the first time in these playoffs. They really put a whooping on the Wizards as the series moved to D.C., reminiscent of a regular season beatdown they laid on Washington well before things went south.
Once again the Pacers provided hope for their fans by bouncing back after their series opening loss at home. It was hardly a dominant victory but one that provided some hope for the rest of the series thanks to the fact that they actually got some production from Roy Hibbert.
The Oklahoma City Thunder roared back to even the series at one game apiece after shutting down the Clippers offense in game two on Tuesday, and will look to take at least one of two in Los Angeles when the two meet on Friday in game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals.
The Los Angeles Clippers set a franchise playoff record for 3-pointers in a single game in game one of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday, and will look to take home court advantage totally away from the Thunder, when they square off with them in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
I know some are saying the Wizards stole game one but since I thought that would happen I am of a different opinion. Washington has been a strong road team all season long and in these playoffs even stronger.
Los Angeles won’t get any time to relax when they travel to Oklahoma City to open the Western Conference semifinals against the Thunder on Monday night.
The Wizards have been cooling their heels waiting to see who they are going to play. The fact that it is Indiana is hardly a surprise and even though they lost the season series to the Pacers, 2-1, I am sure they are going into this game with a high level of confidence.
The Hawks are on the edge of becoming a special story or just another footnote of teams that got close but no cigar. They blew the chance to close out the series at home and now have to enter one of the toughest arenas in the league to win in for game 7.
