Road to the Finals

There are four teams left playing in the NBA playoffs, those being: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors.

In the Eastern Division the Cavaliers and Hawks are matched up. Both teams have unique styles of play.

Kyrie Irving and Lebron James make a deadly combination for the Cavaliers. Both guys can
knock down shots and dish it out to other players to get assists.

With the Hawks there is Paul Millsap, Al Horford, and Kyle Korver. Millsap and Horford have a strong presence inside the paint, but with Korver he is one of the most deadly three-point shooter in the game.

The Hawks are looking to appear in it's first NBA Finals. The only thing in their way is the Cleveland Cavaliers who leads the series 1-0 with the next game set for Friday, May 22 at 6:30.

In the Western Conference Finals the Houston Rockets square up against the Golden State Warriors.

The bearded assassin, James Harden, and big man Dwight Howard are the arsenal that the Rockets supply. Harden is an all-around player who can hurt you on either offense or defense. Howard is a monster in the whole league of his own. The big man has a tremendous presence in the post whether it is blocking shots or grabbing boards. The only thing that blocks them from advancing is the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State has a whole arsenal of three-point shooters, one being Stephen "The Chef" Curry. The MVP himself can probably knock a three pointer down anywhere behind the arch. Warriors have a dynamic three-point shooting team with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the rest.

The Warriors edged out the Rockets Thursday night with an 99-98 win. Golden State now leads the series 2-0 and look more confident to make it to the finals.
