Cleveland Cavaliers @ Chicago Bulls

Today we will have game 3 in this series, with the Cavaliers leading 2-0. In the first game, thanks to a great start-up, the Cavaliers were able to hold the Bulls all game behind them in the scoreboard. Thanks to it and also to the big edge they had in the rebounds, the Cavaliers were able to achieve a relatively easy win. However, in the second game, the Bulls already showed some feedback, with the scoreboard equalize until the last quarter, where the Cavaliers had again an edge. The Bulls were better on rebounds, committed less 8 TO than the Cavaliers, but weren't able to hold their accuracy, around 55%, and LeBron James, with 40 points.

The Cavaliers, thanks to the low control they had in the last game, are not big favorites. There will be no big surprise if they lose today. The team is seeking the best chemistry between them, chemistry they lost in the last games in regular season, because they didn't played together for several games, making them losing their mechanisms. They were able to won both games in Cleveland mostly due to the personal performances, as they are hitting better than 50% and with LeBron making as always lot's of points. But their coach knows that they can't have that accuracy for ever, and today will have to be more careful and try to focus a little bit more in the defense. With lot's of players to control in the paint, there are no excuses to lose the dominance of that part of the field. The quickness of the Bulls is their biggest problem, specially the lay ups from Rose.

The Bulls have increased their commitment to the game. They were able to show some supremacy in the last game, due to a great defense and a well thinking offense. They only had 4 TO and shot 20 more times than the Cavaliers. Their biggest chance and edge is the quickness they have. But it's nothing if they can't hold the Cavaliers. They are not afraid, they were able to get more rebound than the Cavaliers in the last game in Cleveland. Their moral isn't low, and they know that they need today game to keep their hopes. So, a very tactical game and pondered game is the most likely.

Atlanta Hawks @ Milwaukee Bucks

At this point, the Bucks only need one more win to achieve the next step. What seems one of the easiest series of this playoffs, had a big turnover. The Hawks had the home advantage, and many people though that this series could win with a 4-0 for the Hawks. However, after the two first home games, where the Hawks controlled the game, they went to Milwaukee lose two in a row. And if that weren't bad enough, a tie in the series when they thought that would be easy, they get a loss at home, and are one game away of the elimination. So, at this point, and with 5 of 7 games played, there is only one thing to do for the Hawks. They have to win at Milwaukee, and try to eliminate the Bucks at home in game 7.

Despite the great effort from the Bucks, the truth is that the team is walking in a thin line. They had the edge at home when they faced an arrogant Hawks team, that thought the game was won before the end. In the last game, at Atlanta, they just had the star with them that night. After a bad game from the home team, they were smart enough to attack the paint, and made almost all their shots and free throws. The team have a rookie to lead them, Jennings, and the effort and will that the players put in the field, make the difference. Their best players are out at this part of the season, with the big scorer Redd missing almost all the season and the big man in the paint Bogut missing since the last part of the season. However, the team, through a great team game, were able to achieve 3 wins in a row.

The Hawks can just let this series flow as they were doing. They have to be aggressive right now, has they are one game away of the end of the season. They were surprised in the third game, the first in Milwaukee, but since them, they just had missing some luck in the final minutes. The team is much more experienced and more important, better. They have the most balanced team, a deep bench, and players that can make them play easily a hard game in the paint or a fast game behind the arc.

Tonight, the Hawks will have to awake. They have a big edge in the paint, as they have players that will have no opposition, at least at the same level. They will have to use that edge tonight to cover the paint. They will have a opponent moralized, knowing that they just need a win to get through. The biggest problem for the hawks is that the Bucks attack the paint with all their players, trying to get free throws. They have to be aware for it, and try to not make to many faults, as happened in the last game when Joe Johnson went to the bench early with 6 faults. The Hawks have also to get a better accuracy, something that they can easily due, as they have great scorers. There is no more time for pity. The Hawks got the be aggressive as they realized that after all, the series wouldn't be so easy.

Pick: Atlanta Hawks -1.5 -110 (1.91) 2BetDSI, BetPhoenix, JazzSports
