Second Round Update

Tonight the Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Clippers 127-107 in game 7. It was a fantastic game to watch and L.A. just couldn’t keep up with the Suns. Steve Nash ran wild again with 29 points and 11 assists. The Suns win the series 4-3.


Now I will update the rest of the second round of the playoffs. The second round of the playoffs actually saw 3 out of the 4 series go to 7 games, including the Phoenix series. In the other series that concluded tonight the Dallas Mavericks beat the defending Champion San Antonio Spurs in their game 7. So that sets up a Western Conference Finals series of the Phoenix Suns versus the Dallas Mavericks. So it should be a fun series to watch.


In the Eastern Conference the Miami Heat closes out the New Jersey Nets early winning the series 4-1. In the other series that completed yesterday the Detroit Pistons won their game 7 match-up against the surprising Cleveland Cavaliers.


Now I will analyze my predictions. I will have my prediction on the left of the match-up and the actual result on the right of the match-up.

Western Conference

(4-2) [1] San Antonio Spurs vs. [4] Dallas Mavericks (3-4)
(4-1) [2] Phoenix Suns vs. [6] Los Angeles Clippers (4-3)

Eastern Conference

(4-0)* [1] Detroit Pistons vs. [4] Cleveland Cavaliers (4-3)
(4-2) [2] Miami Heat vs. [3] New Jersey Nets (4-1)

* I picked the Washington Wizards to advance and not the Cavaliers so the prediction was for a different match-up.

So I picked 3 out of the 4 winners for this round of the playoffs. As we get closer to the Finals I am expecting perfection, ha ha.
