This years NBA playoffs have been one of the most interesting and surprising playoffs in recent years. Top seeds are under-performing, and young stars are rising to the challenge. There are only two series that are complete so far - the Heat (2) over the Bobcats (7) , and the Wizards (5) over the Bulls (4). There are already three scheduled Game 7s left to play.
The top seed in the Eastern Conference is the Indiana Pacers. They started off slow to the Atlanta Hawks, but have battled back to even the series at three a piece. All of Espn's featured basketball experts picked the Pacers to win, but only one had the series going all seven games. If the Pacers do not come away with this series win, the nucleus in Indiana may get blown apart come next season.
The Western Conference match-up that is drawing an impressive amount of interest is the Oklahoma City Thunder (2) and the Memphis Grizzlies. OKC started the year on a tear, literally. Russell Westbrook went down with an injury early in the season. He is back and better than ever for this series with the Grizz. Memphis matches us well with this high-firing offense because of their great defensive ability. On the offensive side of the ball the two bigs, Gasol and Randolph, dominate the boards. This is a Game 7 you will not want to miss.
