Teams that have three wins in their series are locks.
« on: April 26, 2009, 11:02:11 AM »
Most of the series have gone 3 or 4 games so far, and there are a few upsets in the making. It also shows that a first round victory on your opponents court doesn't mean anything if you can't hold serve on your own.

A 2-1 lead means nothing, so even though I'm happy the Sixers are up, I know a loss today would wipe out everything they've worked for.

A 3-1 lead on the other hand is statistically significant, and teams in that situation now are in control of their series.  So sorry San Antonio a 3 beaten by a 6, and sorry Jazz fans as the Lakers just punched your ticked last night. Detroit is already fishing, and they still have a game to play!

The rest of the series it's less clear who's going to win, but that's a good thing as it makes the 1st round much more interesting. Neither 1 seed is in trouble, but the 2 seeds may be.  Boston seems to have recovered from the first game loss to Chicago, and Denver is still ahead in it's series with NO.  The third seeds in each conference, are under real pressure from the 6 seeds. Dallas has San Antonio, up 3-1.  Phila. can do the same thing today with a win, currently leading 2-1. The 4 and 5 seeds look to be completely even, which is to be somewhat expected.
