"Fight 4 LARRY" going Two Scoops in a Waffle Cone...May 8th, 2014

#BrooklynInThePlayoffs @ #Champs305 7pm ET on ESPN2

It as simple as this but easier than done as the Nets have to get more production from Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. Look for Lead Man J-Kidd also to use younger legs more in "Plums" and Machine Gun" Thornton out of that Brooklyn Bullpen...you like that one? Paul Pierce would be a factor only of the game is nip and tuck late where he can get to those "Sweet Spots" shooting "Daggers" only. S-Dot Livingston also has to be more aggressive and take advantage of both Rio and Hollywood Cole guarding him.

For the Heat keep it simple as there are no real adjustments as they will play it like they see it as Coach Spo is super-solid with In-Game Adjustments. King James was doing the Speed Limit in Game 1 and they still could not stop him. Supporting Actors trying to get a Lead Role in Jesus Shuttelsworth and Shane from #DukeInTheNBA were really good in Game 1 and look for that to continue. Coach Spo is spreading the Nets out and making them pay for putting both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in at the same time. The Heat will continue to take advantage of that until the Nets force them to do otherwise.

The Blazers after that Game 1 beat down knows what they must bring to match the seasoned Spurs and that is 110% and going all out executing and the attention to detail. The L-Train (32 pts 14 rebs Gm 1) was the only Blazer that looked himself and comfortable. Damian Lillard and Wes Matthews along with Mo Williams have to contain Spurs Point God TP9 (33 pts 9 asst Gm 1) as he was Straight Margarine in Game 1. Can the Blazers shoot it from Deep with a high enough percentage tom stay close for a 4th frame run?

As far as the Spurs go they all of a sudden look like that 2012-13 Playoff Team that bullied their way right to the NBA Finals only to let it slip away in game 6 and game 7. That in itself has the Spurs extremely motivated and they are only two more series away from becoming the Redeem Team if they can pull it off. OI have a sense no matter how Rip City responds tonight and moving forward the Basketball Gods have the two teams fighting for the Larry O'Brien in place.
