Two different games, two different situations
By WesBloomquist in The Spiral
April 22, 2008

The NBA playoffs are in full swing with three games tonight.

Neither Dallas or San Antonio are in must-win situations, but both will enter the games with that mindset.

Dallas, down 1-0 to New Orleans, needs a victory much more than the Spurs after losing a lead in the first game of the series to the Hornets. The Mavericks have been on playoff slide since losing in the NBA Finals two years ago, and need a win to get back into the series and boost their confidence.

The Spurs on the other hand, are in a position to go to 2-0 against the Suns with a win tonight in San Antonio. Game 1 was an instant classic. The game went to double overtime and could have gone either way. Many feel that the Suns gave the game away, but the Spurs showed their playoff magic once again.

Orlando is also playing, but unless you have NBA TV, you'll have to watch the highlights on ESPN or read about in the Advocate tomorrow.

What's your feelings about the two series going into tonight's games?
