    after 3 games, 5 of the 8 series stand at 2-1 and in 3 out of those 5 it is the underdog who holds the series lead. Which teams do you think will complete the upset and who do think has the best chance to recover to avoid a major dissapointment. I owuldnt mind seeing the Lakers Pacers AND Pistons upset and it certainly isnt out of the question. I would also like to see Milwaukee come back and beat the NEts which is possible but unlikley. I have no love for the Sixers but New Orleans has experienced some terrible terrible luck with injuries and will be lucky to avoid a sweep

    I want Jersey to win I despise the Sucks now... although I do have a lotta love for Tim Thomas and D Mase.

    I hope the Lakers fall on their assess.. ..

    Im not worried about Pacers/Celtics too much anymore watching Game One felt weird.. hell of all game ones It did.. dunno why guess cuz it was Saturday...

    I want the Suns to comeback which they probably will to prove everybody wrong.. like I siad right now Tim Duncan is not on my top 10 people to see in the Semis.. as of right now id rather see Shaq there than Tim Duncan... *notice the italacs right now*

    The Lakers are going to bounce back, they always do well under pressure.

    The bucks might, and i think the pistons will. I don't think theres a chance of the suns comming back because Spurs are just a better team, they might get one more game out of them, but it wont be enough.

    Bouncing back:

    Lakers, Pistons & Bucks

    The Pistons will eventually figure out a way to stop T-Mac and get back into this series. Being down 3-1 puts added pressure on Detroit and they will raise their level when the series goes back to Detroit. A win in Detroit should get the Pistons back on track.

    The Bucks just seem like the better team to me. Payton is doing a great job of neutralizing Kidd, and the Bucks are heating up from the perimeter. They are quicker to the ball and seem like they want it more than the Nets. The Bucks put the Nets in a lot of match up problems and they are taking full advantage. If the Bucks can continue to stay hot outside they will take this series.

    Lakers have been in this situation before and once they start playing good ball for an entire game instead of 5:00 minutes per quarter they should be able to crush this T-Wolves team. Unfortunately Hudson has all the confidence in the world thanks to Fisher's horrible defense. Hudson is playing the way Mike Bibby did last season after gaining confidence against Fisher. The Lakers need to find a spark to get their energy up and figure out how to get easy shots out of the press defense. I have a feeling the Lakers will win the next 2 and end this series.

    I dont think that Detroit will be able to come back now that Orlando has the confidence that they can beat them. T-Mac was instoppable the first 2 games when his team mates couldnt do anything but in the last 2 games TMac hasnt scored as much while the rest of the team is contributing. If the Pistons want to win the series they need to stop everyone but TMac. I dont think that will happen now and i think that the Magic take the series.

    yeah..I'm kind of unsure of the Pistons vs. Magics...T-Mac has just begun to fire up.
