Will Pacers, Sixers, and Blazers turn things around at home?

(Tyson Chandler of the Dallas Mavericks with a thunderous slam against the dissapointed Blazers, giving the Mavericks a 2-0 lead.)



The Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Portland Trailblazers all find themselves behind 2-0 in the first round of the 2011 NBA playoffs as they enter game 3 of their series' tonight. Although they came up empty in efforts to sneak a win on the road, they still remain in position to be able to win the series. Tonight should be a pretty good night of basketball as youll see a ton of athleticism from the Miami Heat, a scrappy Indiana Pacers team, and a tough matchup between the Mavericks aand Blazers. Look for a top perfomance from one of your star players tonight as they attempt to make a statement on the road, or prove their dominance behind their home crowd.

 The Pacers have been giving the Bulls all theyve got, but somehow ended up with the loss in chicago.They expect to turn the page in game 3 while theyll behind their ruckus crowd in Indiana.
BOLD PREDICTION:
Pacers win, making series 2-1

The 76ers on the other hand, seem slightly overmatched by the Miami Heat after Miami's 94-73 rout on Tuesday. The "Big Three" (LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh) just seem to be too much for the Sixers.
BOLD PREDICTION:
Heat win, making series 3-0 eyeing the sweep

The Portland Trailblazers also have a tough matchup with the hot Dallas Mavericks tonight. The Mavericks have had big perfomances out of Nowitzi and Kidd in two straght games. The Blazers match up very well with the Mavericks. This should become an interesting series if the Blazers take care of business and not fold tonight.
