Are Magic and Spurs done?

[danielz_23]

Memphis lead San Antonio 3-1
Atlanta lead Orlando 3-1

With two home games to come does anyone see these teams coming back from the hole they are in?

You'd think San Antonio being the No.1 seed vs a No.8 would have the best chance... but Memphis have handled them well and you'd think one more win is just around the corner.

Orlando have big reputations but they look a shadow of themselves... and probably are after flipping the roster mid-season.

both series arent over yet.....stranger things have happened.

posters still hold hope (see conference week 1 threads)

Stick a fork in both.

not sure if spurs will play that bad again

not sure if orlando have anything left, they can be an unbelievably streaky shooting side though

Orlando might come back the Spuds are done.

I've been looking closely at the Orlando-Atlanta series and it is hard to see the Magic turning it...

Atlanta have won 6 of the last 7 match-ups between these two when you follow it back to the regular season.

Mmm hard to see either winning it from here.

I think they are. It seems almost weird that a team that led the league until the season's last day just hasn't seemed to show more urgency than they have. They were a mess in the second half of the last game. Memphis will be running high on confidence, however not many of them will have experience in close-out games so the Spurs might take Game 5 but I like Memphis to close it out in 6.

Orlando just seem to be getting out-done too and I like the Hawks to finish them off today in Florida. 3-2 is possible, 3-1 is too but bloody hard and if you've lost three of four there's usually a reason. Don't think anyone saw Atlanta bringing this kind of heart to a series, not with the way their final month of the season went, or their series against Orlando last year.

To answer your question, I wouldn't definitely cross out the Spurs yet but I DO like both the Hawks and Grizz to finish the job.

Well Orlando made a statement!

Both teams can mount a comeback run, I want Memphis to win, but I don't want to hand Miami an easy championship should they win the East
