Quick Thoughts on Each First Round Series

Eastern Conference:

Boston/Atlanta series: It seems that if Boston even lost one game in this series, it would sports greatest surprise. Mike Bibby needs to keep his mouth shut, he may be right, but it's not like Atlanta had any fans until halfway through the season.

Detroit/Philly series: Philly is looking good right now. I don't know why Detroit is struggling...This is their time to shine. Don't be surprised to see a Philly upset in this series. I'm starting to think that Philly PF, Reggie Evans, swings more to the right than to the left. I noticed he kept trying to slap Joe Crawford's(ref) ass on multiple occasions. There was also that whole nut-grabbing incident a few years back...Hmmm

Orlando/Toronto series: Sam Mitchell has been an idiot over the first three games of the series. He's made more changes than Michael Jackson, and they've only played 3 games. Hey Coach Sam! Why change your lineup in the playoffs, when the lineup you had in the season worked fine, good luck on the hot seat.

Cleveland/Washington series: Everyone is making too big of a deal out of the whole DeShawn Stevenson/LeBron James/Gilbert Arenas thing. Their all buddies just enjoying the best time of the year. Although, if I was DeShawn, I would talk a little less, because, no matter what DeShawn thinks, he isn't on LeBron or Gilbert's level.

Western Conference:

LA Lakers/Denver: Man if this game goes any further than 5 games, I think we can expect an Iverson suspension. He is already 3 away from the playoff limit. Oh and I think George Karl has been reading some of George Bush's speeches lately. When discussing a possible future as head coach of the Knicks, Karl said that paying attention to rumors like that would just, and I quote, "de-energize me and waste my energy". Oh yeah, and Kobe Bryant is the greatest thing since canned spam...

New Orleans/Dallas: I don't know if you heard, but Mavs small forward, Josh Howard, came out early Friday, and said he smokes weed in the off season. Now I know he "claims" to only smoke in the off season, but there has got to be some reason behind his 15 ppg on 28.5% shooting these playoffs, and I know it's not the defense of Peja Stojakovic.

San Antonio/Phoenix: I don't know who feels more like eating their head right now. Shawn Marion, who will most likely waste his contract year playing for the lowly Miami Heat, or Steve Kerr, for giving into Marion, and acquiring the Big Anti-Fastbreak.

Utah/Houston: Yeah T-Mac, we know your tired, I think everyone in the playoffs is tired right now, but they're hyped and still going hard. This is the playoffs, grow a pair and get YOUR team back in this series.


More soon to come!
