Win a Sony PSP! Play Drive to the Finals Now!
By Rob Peterson
June 1- Out West, we got The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
First, The Good. We have a series tied at two games apiece between two budding rivals. It's best of three, first to win two goes to the Finals. It doesn't get much better than that.
Then, there's The Bad: With the Suns playing two seven-game series and the Mavs playing in one, we got nothin' left out West.

May 31 -- Well, maybe not nothin' but somethin' close to nothin'.
Then there's The Ugly: We need to make a pick for tonight.
Ugh!
Well, crashing through the saloon window goes the thought of saving what we do have left out West for the Finals.
Folks (or pardners), since this is the Wild, Wild West, we're goin' down with guns ablazin'! Terry has the highest PRA of any dude we have left West of the Mississip' and we're going to stick to pickin' the hombres with the highest PRAs.
We're pickin' tonight: Jason Terry.
Yep, we're desperate desperadoes, and we're gonna play our game like it too. We got nothin' to lose because we really ain't got anythin' else.
We're not gonna bail like the townspeople of Hadleyville abandonded sheriff Will Kane in High Noon. Oh, no siree, we're stickin' 'round, even if we got another series up yon 'round the bend.
Why, do you reckon' we do this? (And why are we talkin' in Pecos patois? Who knows?)
Well, we got enough Heat left for the Finals. That's right, no matter who makes The Finals from the West, we'll probably need to take them city slickers from Mia-muh to get us through the championship (if, of course, they make it to The Finals). If Detroit makes it, we're facin' the gallows there as well.
So, we get Terry tonight and his 24.8 Playoffs PRA. On Saturday, we'll probably take Jerry Stackhouse. Otherwise, it's James Jones or Eddie House from the Suns. See, slim pickins.
Either way, it should be a good three-game series, right?
