Im not going to add the Hornets in this , even though I think by tonight they will be in there. Who can come back from down 3-1 to win the series?
It has happened before (http://layupdrill.com/2009/04/closing-out-a-team-tougher-than-it-looks/)...
My best guess is if there was only one to do it then the Spurs would, followed by Blazers. Im not sold on the Mavs or Rockets closing the deal.

Out of those match ups the Spurs have the best chance, but the role players need to step up in a huge way.

Given the historical trends of teams being down 3-1, I'll say nobody.
BUT if I HAD to, I'd say Blazers!
The last 3 games of the series w/ the Rockets have been very close and competitive, it could've gone either way.
Although I do think Houston is the superior team and will win in 6.
Spurs have a shot, but mehhh... Mavs have really controlled this series IMO. They can say the role players can step up, but will Parker go off for 43 again? Will duncan go for 25/10/7 with 18 free throw attempts again?
JET can step up for the Mavs too, and Dirk surely will not have 9 shots and only 12 points again.
Jazz are unquestionably done. No way can they win 2 at Staples, let alone 1.

I think Dallas and Houston both need to treat game 5 like its game 7

Obvioulsy none, but if at all possible, I'd go with the Spurs. If they get one win on the Mavs court it may shake them up like NO last year.
spurs if their damn role players step the fuck up. I'm still hoping

Uhhh, this was only the case for Game 4.
Parker/Duncan didn't step up in Game 3.
Parker was outplayed by Barea in the 2nd half of Game 1, Finley went 5-5 from 3 point land and they still lost Game 1.
