Game Three of Series One took place in the finals last nite and the results where about what I predicted. The first game of the night ended with something that shocked me, the Bulls beat the Pacers at home. Rose led his team with scoring with 23 points and a last second lay up that won the game for Bulls. Boozer led the team with 11 rebounds. On the other side of the ball Granger led his team with 21 points and George with 12 rebounds. I was somewhat shocked that the Pacers lost this game, 84-88, which was the one I believed was theirs. Again it was close, but it has become clear to me that the Bulls are fine and the series will probably go six games. Bulls will win the series 5-1.
The next game in the evening was Miami at Philladelphia. The game was close just as I thought, but at the end the advantage of having three stars on their team helped. D Wade led the way with 32 points and Lebron with 15 rebounds. The game was somewhat close throughout, but the stars in the fourth quarter alligned and the boys of the Heat got away with a 100-94 win over the 6'ers who are now down three games in the series. I don't see the Heat sweeping the series but I do see them winning in six games, the ability to have three stars on their team is just to helpful to their cause. Heat will win the series 4-2.
The final game of the evening, was a great westcoast matchup. Dallas at Portland. A series that has been labeled the best in the west, since both teams are close. The Mavericks went into the series 2-0 but finally fell giving the Blazers one game. Matthews of the Blazers led his team to a victory with 25 points and Wallace led the rebounds with 11. Nowitzki from Dallas who was a key factor in the first two games, was almost silent last night with only 9 rebounds. With Nowitzki not playing as well, Terry led the team in scoring with 29 points yet they still fell to the Blazers 97-92. Dallas I see winning the series 4-2
