Does Utah blow the game open in the second half?

Utah will not be an easy matchup for San Antonio. I don't see a repeat of what Memphis did last year but their size will give the spurs trouble and Utah is not an easy place to play.

I'd say Spurs in 5 but it will be a closer series than that. Jazz likely will be a good pick ATS in game 1.

This of course is assuming the seeding stays the way it is.

Yup...Spurs are not getting passed the first round without a fight. No doubt Utah's bigs can keep up with SAS - it will be interesting to see if they have an answer for Parker and Ginobili, which will be key in the series.

while I've got you, do you think the 76ers can extend the Bulls to 6?

Chicago's defense will stifle the sixers in the crucial parts of the game. Philly will give them all they can handle and may steal a game but Chicago should win in 5.

Most games should be close but come the fourth quarter the game tightens up and the sixers will struggle to get buckets.
