Western Conference:
1. Los Angeles Lakers vs 5. Houston Rockets: Lakers lead the series 2-1
Unfortunately for the Rockets, their starting center Yao Ming is out for the rest of the playoffs. Can the Rockets bounce back? Or are the Lakers just too much now without Yao Ming?

2. Denver Nuggets vs 7. Dallas Mavericks: Nuggets lead the series 3-0
The Denver Nuggets have been playing really well against Dallas. The last game there was a missed call that could have changed things. There was only a few seconds left on the clock and Carmelo Anthony had the ball. The Mavs went for an intentional foul, but even after they did do the foul, the referees did not call it and Melo hit a big 3 pointer with 1 second left on the clock. Dirk Nowitzki went for a desperate shot but missed, and the Nuggets won 106-105. The NBA later issued out a statement saying that an intentional foul was missed. Can the Mavs bounce back, or it is too late?

Eastern Conference:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers 4. Atlanta Hawks: The Cavs lead the series 3-0
Cleveland has just been so dominant in the playoffs. I don't see a way that the Hawks can bounce back. They might of had that momentum when they beat Miami, but mentally, maybe they weren't strong enough. The Cavs psyched out the Hawks and have just dominated them. Can the Hawks come back, or at least capture a few games?

2. Boston Celtics 3. Orlando Magic: Orlando leads the series 2-1
This series has been weird for Boston. They cannot seem to have both Ray Allen and Paul Pierce play well together in the same game. If this pattern continues to happen, the Magic will just continue to win. What do you guys think?
