NBA Playoffs Round 1 over Conference Semi's underway

     All 4 game sixes were won by the team that was up 3-2. The Celtics made a frantic comeback but the Knicks handled them in the final minute and got the W. The Thunder, Grizzlies and Warriors each won their series. The Bulls won game 7 against Brooklyn although they were very shorthanded. Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich were out.
     I think that the Heat will beat Chicago in 5, Indiana will beat the Knicks in 7. In the west OKC will win in 6 and SA will win in 6 games.

Bucks Offseason Situation

After losing to the Heat in the first round of the playoffs the Milwaukee Bucks have some decisions to make, and will most likely have to let either Jennings or Ellis go. We could probably afford to pay Redick, but if we wanted to go after someone like a Josh Smith or a Dwight Howard we would probably only keep 1. I think we will keep Jennings even though I think Ellis is better. I think this will happen because we will sign Josh Smith and Jennings said he'd stay if Milwaukee became contenders. I also think Redick will leave.

P.J. Carlesimo Fired as Nets Coach

P.J. Carlesimo was recently fired by the Brooklyn Nets GM. It comes as a surprise to me as he coached  the Nets to a 35-19 record after Avery Bradley was fired. After being released Carlesimo stated that only a title would have saved his job and that even if he won game seven against the bulls it wouldn't have saved his job.

Bulls troubled

With the Chicago Bulls playing the best team in the NBA in the Heat they don't have much chance. To add insult to injury they do not have Rose and Deng for game 1 and maybe more. I project the Heat will sweep the Bulls.
