Last round we saw some surprises, with Atlanta pushing Boston to seven games, Dallas and Phoenix being knocked out in five games, and Philly putting up a gallant fight against Detroit. Can we expect some of the same this round? Here's why I have to say so far...
Western Conference:
1. Los Angeles Lakers vs 4. Utah Jazz: The Lakers are looking great, although they have allowed Utah to grab forty-one offensive rebounds in the first two games, with the positive energy coming from my boy Kobe Bryant winning his first MVP, this series looks to be another quickie for the Lake Show.
2. New Orleans Hornets vs 3. San Antonio Spurs: CP3 and Co. really surprised a lot of people by coming out and beating down on the defending champs in games one and two. However, San Antonio will pick up the poor play and will win games three and four, tying the series at two games a piece.
Eastern Conference:
1. Boston Celtics vs 4. Cleveland Cavaliers: I didn't think the Boston Celtics could disappoint their fans any more after letting Atlanta take them to seven games, but after game one of their second round series with Cleveland, it looks like they might not make it to the third round, let alone the NBA Finals. I don't know what happened to the team that won sixty-six games during the regular season, but they sure aren't playing right now.
2. Detroit Pistons vs 3. Orlando Magic: Basically, Orlando was cheated out of a win in game two, but the got revenge in game three, and some extra sweetener on the side, by getting a big win, and seeing Detroit lose Chauncey Billups for possibly the rest of the series. Although Billups will probably be back for game four, don't expect Orlando to take it easy on him. This series for sure goes to seven games.
Well, that's all I got for now. Although I am still giddy from Kobe's "celebration", I am tired, and I gotta get some sleep. Hoops.
