Anybody been watching this lately?
From whichever service provider they can get that is. As i've been mainly watching highlights from NBA.com
The first round went like this:
[the number in brackets denote how many games they won, out of 7]
Chicago Bulls (3) v Boston Celtics (4)
Utah jazz (1) v LA Lakers (4)
New Orleans Hornets (1) v Denver Nuggets (4)
Dallas Mavericks (4) v San Antonio Spurs (1)
Houston Rockets (4) v Portland Trailblazers (2)
Detroit Pistons (0) v Cleveland Cavaliers (4)
Orlando Magic (4) v Philadelphia 76's (2)
Miami Heat (3) v Atlanta Hawks (4)
The pick of the first round for me was definitely the Bulls v Celtics matchup, where 3 games went into overtime, with game 6 going into triple overtime. Shame for the Bulls, as i felt they had the measure of the Celtics
Disappointments must definitely go with how tamely the (2004 championship winners) Detroit Pistons bowed out, in a clean sweep to the Cavs, who quite frankly look unbeatable with LeBron spearheading the charge.
Also, disappointed at New Orleans, with the talented Chris Paul at point guard.
Well now we're onto the semi finals with:
Houston Rockets (1) v LA Lakers (0)
Dallas Mavericks (0) v Denver Nuggets (1)
Orlando Magic (1) v Boston Celtics (0)
Atlanta Hawks (0) v Cleveland Cavaliers (0)
It's hard seeing anything other than a Lakers v Cavs final tbh. As the Cavs brushed aside the Pistons with ease, and despite the first game loss to the Rockets, i still think they will have them in 6 games.
Suprise team for me must go to the Nuggets.
As for the first time in 5 years, they've progressed past the first round.
Notorious for horrible defense, which looks to be a little better this time round with Chris 'the birdman' swatting pretty much everything that's thrown at him. Also Billups hitting eight 3-pointers in a single game against the Hornets, making Nuggets playoff history.
Though being a big Magic's fan (from the early days of Shaq/ Penny Hardaway and Horace Grant) i hope they win it. they look good, and amassed a 28 point lead over the Celtics until they nearly clawed it back.
