The Come Back

Throughout these playoffs we have witnessed some nail bitters and buzzer beaters  as we enter weekend two. Last night was no different as two of the away teams would steal a game on the home teams court. The HOUSTON ROCKETS in desperation last night was no different as they beat the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS in a nail bitter to the end, in over time 121-116. This rockets team has been anything but dominate in this serious so far as peedicted. The rockets and trail blazers came into this series, both with a tied regular season record of 54-28, which made for a evenly matched series. The rockets would get the tie breaker over the trail blazers coming into the playoffs because of their winning percentage over the trailblazers during the regular season. They would take two wins off of the trial blazers floor which would give them the edge .Since the series has began the rememeberence off LeMarcus Aldridge effiency and capabilities has turned into the full face of this Portland team. LeMarcus Aldridge wasn't absent during the regular season but wasn't as consistant and productive during the regular season, he has shown his  capabilities night after night in the playoffs thus far, dropping 46 points in game one and 42 points in game two. This made for a interesting series on both ends of the floor as rockets star forward James Harden showed his dominance in game three , putting up 37 points and 9 rebounds. Last night also showed desperation for a CHICAGO BULLS team that hasn't looked like their normal selves lately. Going into last nights game the bulls were anywhere then expected, as they were down 2-0 in the series against the WASHINGTON WIZARDS. The wizards through out this series have opened a lot of eyes and have put their team on the map over the past few games in the series. Bradley Beal was a noted player before the NBA playoffs began but has since elevated him self and his team to another pedigree  as he has put up consistent numbers. It was no different in game three Friday, as he would go 8-18 scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 ast. Other key players that have shown there allstar pedigree status is John Wall. John Wall was a Allstar this season but has elevate his all star status since the ending of the regular season. He like Beal have produced on a night in and night out bases and it was no different in the lost in game three against the bulls, as he would go 7-14 scoring 23 points,2 rebounds, and seven assist. This has made it tough for the Bulls , in the way that these two guards are unmatch able, and there a miss match for this bulls team.  The Chicago Bulls Heinrich and Butler showed there capabilities in the win on Friday night as they desperately didn't want to go down in the series 3-0. There effort was shown in a big way as they would put up 15 points and 4 points to assist the bulls in the win.WHat will happen in these series? Will the home team be able to get take game four putting the series at 3-1 or will the away team snatch game four to even the series out!? Stay tuned ....!
