Nope, promise it ain't only you. I haven't had as much chance to watch as I like, but just like with the NCAA B-Ball tourney, my favorite part of the NBA playoffs is the opening round. Just so much happening, it is a blast.
What has caught your attention so far?
I haven't watched much yet. I'm a Heat fan, but it's hard to get motivated to watch the Bobcats. I am interested in seeing if the Pacers can complete probably the most epic collapse in NBA history against the Hawks. I'm also surprised the Thunder are losing the the Grizzlies.
My questions:
-Are the Wizards peaking at the right moment, and have a chance to be the spoiler in the East? Or are they just a bad match-up for offense-deprived Chicago?
-What adjustments do OKC make? Grizz are a good team.
-Is there a team doing less with more then Houston? This should be a finals contender. No one would blink an eye if they lose in the first round. That is sad.
-Is there any possible way things could break better for Miami? Indy falling apart, Chicago (which gives them fits) losing, and Wade getting healthy at play-off time?
-Why doesn't anyone give Tim Duncan the credit he deserves? How many more titles does this guy need to win before he starts getting mentioned with the elite of B-Ball greats like he should be?
That Spurs/Mavericks series is just amazing. Everything down to the last shot. I would be stressed if either were my team. Atlanta has been another one of those hot/cold teams. We all seem to forget that they were the only team in the East to have a winning record (or at least .500) all season besides Indy and Miami. They could be right in there with Washington as a team that doesn't know they are supposed to lose.
Crazy that OKC is on the ropes. Maybe Memphis is and will always be a bad matchup for them.
I'm very surprised by this also. I think Memphis is a bad matchup, but I'm putting a lot of this on Scott Brooks. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are too good to be down like this.
Starting lineup should be
PG - Reggie Jackson
SG - Russell Westbrook
SF - Kevin Durant
PF - Serge Ibaka
C - Nick Collison
