NBA basketball picks and previews 4/28/09
4 games are being played tonight and two series can be wrapped up today if teams can win on the road. Firstly in San Antonio Dallas who are leading 3-1 can upend the 3rd seed for the first shock of the play-offs if they can go into the Spurs’ home and win. Secondly the Houston Rockets can cause a 4th/5th shock of sorts if they can beat Portland in Oregon and this seems the more likely. Portland just hasn’t been able to cope with Yao Ming all series and it looks like it will cost them while Brandon Roy hasn’t been able to have the same success against the Houston defense. They even managed to lose a 6 point lead going into the 4th quarter on Sunday night which has led them to this situation and it was down to sloppy play that led to turnovers.
They know that tonight is last chance saloon and with Ming averaging 15 points a game in this series they know that they’ll need to find a suitable match-up to stop him. Not only that but Aaron Brooks is averaging 16 points and Luis Scola 17 suggests that so far in the play-offs Houston are a fast-paced shooting team. Tip off is at 10pm ET and the game is on NBA TV.

Only 2 games are being played tonight and the aforementioned Denver Nuggets can see off the New Orleans Hornets in Denver and book their place in the Conference Semi-Finals with one more win. After their demolition of New Orleans in New Orleans on Monday the Nuggets went 3-1 up and are a game away from winning their series at a canter, each Denver win has seen a double digit margin of victory with the lowest being 15. This has sent a big signal to the rest of the Western Conference and could possibly set up a tantalising Western Conference Final between 1st seeds L.A and 2nd seeded Denver in a shootout. The Nuggets have only once been kept under 100 points in this series and when that happened they lost 95-93 in New Orleans in Game 3 but responded in glittering fashion with a historic 121-63 victory in Louisiana. In that game Carmelo Anthony scored 31 points and is averaging 21 points in this series while Chauncey Billups is leading the Nuggets with 25 points a game. New Orleans will have to pray for a miracle if they want to be in the next round of the play-offs and to do so will have to beat Denver, a team that’s only lost 8 times in the regular season at home, 3 times in a row with two in Denver. Tip-off is at 10.30pm ET and the game is on TNT.

There’s only one game being played tonight and it’s Game 6 of the series between Atlanta and Miami in Miami. The Hawks are leading 3-2 going into this game and so can obviously wrap this series up and book their place in the Semi-Finals where they would play either Boston or Chicago. If Chicago did manage to upset Boston and win their Game 7 the Hawks would have home court advantage so they’ll want to ensure they do their bit by winning tonight. To do this they’ll need their defense to hold tight again tonight like it has done all series, in Game 1 they held Miami to their lowest points total of the season (64) and have only given up more than 100 points (in Game 3, a game they lost 107-78). Apart from that they’ve been excellent and as a result their offense hasn’t really been pushed, despite this Josh Smith is still averaging 17 points a game while Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby are averaging 16 and 14 respectively. On the other side only Dwayne Wade is posting up any kind of numbers with 26 points a game, down on his average of 29 points in the regular season. Tip off is at 8pm ET and the game’s on ESPN.

Showdown Saturday’ and one that has the potential to be the best game of the play-offs, Boston - Chicago in Boston. The Bulls have managed to defy all logic and have taken this series to a 7th game decider after their heroics in overtime on Thursday night in a game they won 128-127 thanks to a Joakim Noah break away dunk in the late stages of the third period of overtime. This was the second time that Chicago came from behind to tie the series after they tied it at 2-2 on Sunday in undoubtedly the best series of the first round for some years. While they may not win in Boston (and the odds are heavily staked against them despite having already won once in Boston on April 18th) they’ll still be able to hold their heads high, for a 7th seed to come this far is a very commendable thing.
In every game Chicago have won one of their players have come up with an amazing performance; in Game 1 Derrick Rose scored 36 and had 11 assists, in Game 4 Rose scored 23, Ben Gordon scored 22 and John Salmons scored 20 and in Game 6 Salmons scored 35 and Rose dropped 28. After all this and the other 3 games they didn’t win the Bulls starting line up have a good average in this series. Gordon is leading with 22 points a game while Rose is just behind with 20 in his first taste of the play-offs along with Salmons with 19. Chicago will need all of these players to turn up and more with Joakim Noah and Brad Miller having a big part to play as well, with the latter coming off the bench as he has done for most of the series. Tip off is at 8pm ET and the game is on TNT, it promises to be a great one.

Seeing as the biggest game (so far) of the NBA play-offs was played on Saturday night it would be stupid not to have an in depth look at it. The game was Chicago
