Sorry I haven't posted in so long, but let's get down to business. The NBA Playoffs are here and it's cause for celebration. The Cavs destroyed the Pistons, and now look to send Josh Smith and the Atlanta Hawks packing, which they will do in 5 or 6 games (maybe 4??). Mike Brown cleared the bench in the first game, giving Sasha Pavlovic, Darnell Jackson, and Tarence Kinsey playing time. I keep forgetting that Pavlovic isn't bad. I mean, he used to start for us. I feel bad that Szczerbiak gets more playing time than him, and I wonder if we're even going to keep him once his contract expires. The Cavs look to take a 2-0 lead on the Hawks tonight. And now for more exciting basketball: The Boston Celtics looked like crap against the Chicago Bulls, who still should've won the series. The C's got lucky that one of the league's best 3-point shooting teams, the Orlando Magic, let Eddie House make it rain all night long, dropping 31 points. Damn, I hate the Celtics. But anyway. I'm not sure who I want to win in that series. I don't like the Celtics, but I feel like a Cavs vs. Celtics series would be more exciting that a Cavs vs. Magic one. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. Then we have the Lakers and Rockets. The Rockets stole the first game at the Staples Center, but Kobe would hear nothing of a Rockets 2-0 lead. The biggest Laker fan in the world right now is Tracy McGrady. In his career, he has never gotten his team out of the first round of the playoffs. And the season that he is injured, what do you know? They might actually make it to the Western Conference Finals or even the NBA Finals. Would he pull a Willis Reed (or a Kevin Garnett)? I don't think so... But I really want the Rockets to win, so the Cavs can destroy them in the Finals, if they can beat Denver. Speaking of Denver, I think Dallas should just forfeit the next two games. There is no way that Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony will settle for a loss. They are unstoppable, and I honestly think that they'll get the brooms out on the Mavs. Sorry Mark Cuban.
