NBA PLAYOFFS (35-18-1, +14.73u) 2010.05.02 first pick:

Milwaukee Bucks @ Atlanta Hawks

The bucks were adventurers enough to put the Hawks in a a bad position. However, they doesn't have the roster and the talent that the Hawks got, and that only works to give us, NBA fans, more games to watch. But when the Hawks were in the position of "win or go home", they didn't had more pity of the Bucks, and are making them pay for that audacity. Their talent is much bigger, they have their best players playing, deep bench, and are strong in the paint, where the Bucks are defalcated with the Bogut injury.

There isn't much to say about this game. As we saw in the last game, where the Hawks went to Milwaukee showing that they have not more patient for the Bucks, the Hawks won 83-69. A really underscored game, that's due to a big defense game from the Hawks. The Hawks got the bench and the players to control in the paint, and have also good shooters to score easily. They know that they have all the edge and will use it, after all, it will be a game 7, so they can't give any space to the Bucks, just like they did in the last game.

That wasn't hard for them to do, and at this point, when they have to win to get the qualification, there is no other way. The Bucks were happy and a worthy opponent. They never letdown their arms, they fought while they could, taking the edge when the Hawks faced them with extra-confidence. The team got some talents, like the great rookie Jennings, but stills orphan of their biggest two players, Redd, the scorer, and Bogut, their big men.

Their chances are now weak, as they doesn't have big men to hold an angry Hawks in the paint, and will face now a big defense, so they will have no open spaces as in previous games. They will be totally trailed by the Hawks, as there is no more space to child games.

NBA PLAYOFFS (35-19-1, +13.73u) 2010.05.02 last pick:

Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers: Under 198.5 -103 (1.97) BetPhoenix, -110 (1.91) Bookmaker

* One unit each always. The teams will try to dominate each other in the paint and that will be the key in this series, so we will have a very physical and "slow" game.
