Where's the love for the NBA? Anyone else watch the Golden State v. Dallas game? I was doing my best impression of the on-lookers of the And-1 Mixtapes when Baron Davis started going crazy at the end of the third quarter.
Last year's playoffs were the best I'd ever seen, nearly every series in the West went 6 or 7 games, including the Suns-Lakers series which was ridiculous.
As of tonight, the Bulls and Pistons are the only two to advance. Everyone knew the Bulls would mature into a strong team, with Hinrich, Gordon, and Luol Deng, but how about watching Big Ben go up against his old team?
As a Wizards fan, I'm completely pissed that Arenas and Butler are injured. Losing by 7 and then 6 points the last 2 games, seeing the Cavaliers on the verge of sweeping Washington while Butler and Arenas look on is just killing me. Jamison has been playing well, at least offensively, and I'm glad Antonio Daniels has stepped up some. Still, the NBA should have decided to wait two weeks for Butler and Arenas to give the go-ahead. Missing your two all-stars is huge.
Spurs-Nuggets is a heated playoff rivalry, love the games but hate the cheapshots the Nuggets take at the end of games.
I had/have the Suns - Pistons in the finals, not a shocker of any sorts. If Golden State knocks out Dallas, I see the Suns as a shoe-in to represent the West, and I can't wait to watch the Bulls-Pistons square off.
