NBA

2013 NBA playoffs
Knicks have home court edge in playoffs for first time in 12 years; they last won a playoff series in 2000, but they did win last three games with Celtics, by 3-15-19 points, making 26-59 behind arc in two games in this arena (16-56 in Boston). Celtics have 4th-best defensive 3-point %age, have more playoff experience on their side, but they're without Rondo, which will be glaring here. Three of four series games this year stayed under the total. Lot of pressure on New York to win this series.

Denver won three of four vs Golden State this season, with only loss a game they led 60-51 at half, but teams last played January 13 and other three meetings were in November. Nuggets are 38-3 at home; they won by 11 both times they hosted Warriors this season. Golden State is in playoffs for only second time in last 19 years, but shaky health of Curry and Bogut is problem. Denver is 5-1 since Gallinari got hurt; they've got 57 wins because they're very deep. Three of four series tilts went over. Denver is #1 team on offensive boards; Warriors #1 on defensive end.

Chicago won three of four vs Brooklyn this year, with wins by 1-11-2 points, as three of four series games were decided by four or less points. Nets shot 52% from floor in its only win, less than 45% in their losses. Chicago won both series games that stayed under total- Brooklyn led by 11 in last series game, but lost 92-90 at home 16 days ago. Noah's foot in a problem; Bulls beat Nets both times he played. Derrick Rose's absence will hurt here; guy has been practicing 5-on-5 but can't/won't play, not a good thing for a star. I'm not a fan of teams who fired their coach during the season, and the Nets canned Avery Johnson long time ago.

Clippers won Game 7 in Memphis in first round LY, after blowing 3-1 lead in series where four games were decided by 1 or 2 points, or in OT; Clips won three of four meetings this year, winning both games on road in series where visitor led all four games at half. Memphis shot 41% or less in its three losses to LA, 54.4% in the win; they averaged 16 boards a game on offensive end vs LA, which blocked 30 shots in four games vs Griz, which had 3rd-best record in league after All-Star break. Memphis takes the lest 3-pointers in NBA, so Clipper big guys have to neutralize Zach Randolph as best they can inside.
