NBA Playoffs: Who Will Advance?

The NBA Playoffs have been full of some great games along with a few unexpected blowouts. Let's take a look at who is left and my predictions on who will survive and advance.

In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead over the Toronto Raptors. The Cavs were hot from downtown from start to finish and held the lead throughout the game. I believe the Cavs will advance to the Eastern Conference Final. 

Also in the East, the Boston Celtics took a 2-0 lead over the Washington Wizards. The game was extremely physical and Boston came up with the victory in overtime. The Celtics were lead by their point guard Isaiah Thomas who had a game high 53 points. I believe the Celtics will advance to the Eastern Conference Final and take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

In the West, the San Antonio Spurs bounced back from their ugly loss from the Houston Rockets and tied up the series at 1-1.  Tony Parker injured his leg in the win and left the game early. Reports are saying it does not look too good for TP. I believe the San Antonio Spurs will advance to the Western Conference Final. 

Also in the West, the Golden State Warriors took a 1-0 lead over the Utah Jazz. Steph Curry lead the  the Warriors with 22 points in their 106-94 win. I believe the Warriors will take the series and advance to the Western Conference Final and take on the San Antonio Spurs. 

My predictions are right on track. The Spurs will beat the Warriors and the Celtics will beat the Cavaliers. The finals will consist of San Antonio from the West and Boston from the East. 

What do you think? Let me know your predictions below.
