2010 NBA Playoffs

GO ANYONE BUT THE LAKERS!!!

Good so far Spurs gotta get this shit going they can't let the Mavs kick out of the first round two years in a row...

Utah is actually putting up a great game against Denver considering their team is hurting...

Yeah, Utah put up a great fight last night and actually took one on the road. I hope they can continue to play like that, although shooting 70% in the first half certainly helped their cause, lol.

What might happen to them is they'll get worn down over the series being as short handed as they are, although their bench looked pretty danged impressive last night.

Bench surprised the hell out of me but I think this can only last so long. Sure Williams is playing his ass off but Denver isn't as short handed as they are. Even though George Karl is gone they'll find away to beat Utah.

Wow still can't believe how Thunder dominated the Lakers in game 4...luckily King James restored some order by dominating the Bulls today (37pts, 12rebs, 11asts). My Cavs are looking good so far...

Is Shaq playing? I haven't had a chance to watch the Cavs play yet but they should take the first round without too many problems.

Yeah Shaq is healthy right now but he's playing sparingly, they're pretty much just saving him to guard Dwight Howard if/when they play the Magic.

Makes sense.

Cavs close out the Bulls with another near trip dub by LBJ (19p, 10r, 9a). Next up, the veteran Celtics.

Celtics started out their post-season better than they have in the past 2 years. I like them odds.

Yeah they're looking good. That series is always a barn burner.

Spurs do it again, you can never write them off! And yet another disappointing year for the Mavs.

Suns-Spurs should be an awesome matchup in the second round.

Crazy finish in OKC! Thunder came back for the lead near the end, Kobe missed...but Gasol with the putback! Great series overall by Durant (not stat-wise but he showed heart), Westbrook (he was a beast!), and the rest of that young team. They will be a force to reckoned with in the coming years.

So when did Atlanta start playing like they're a damned highschool team? 41 point loss in the playoffs... That's not only pitiful but unacceptable from professional athletes.

Seriously! They should be thoroughly humiliated with themselves.

Man, I wish the Cavs were playing the Hawks instead of the Celts in the second round.

Atlanta has seriously been overrated all season. There is no way it should have taken them seven games to beat a Milwaukee Bucks team with no Bogut and no Redd. Watch the Magic sweep them out.

Obviously they've got to come back strong, if they're capable of it, but getting punched in the face that hard in the playoffs will be a hard hurdle to get over.

I don't remember the last time I saw an ass'whooping in the playoffs that bad, just ridiculous. Orlando's good, but not that frickin good.

I agree Orlando is not as good as they were last year, but they are a far better team than Atlanta. Or at least better coached.

I actually think Orlando is a lot better than they were last year. They've got Vince Carter now, Jameer Nelson healthy and playing great, and they're much more experienced overall. I'm a huge LeBron fan so I hate to say it but they look like the favorites right now.

Anybody see the Los Suns? Was pretty badass.

That's pretty cool. They should change their names to that (or Los Soles--my spanish is bad so that may be wrong lol). That Arizona law is ridiculous.

Vince Carter is so up and down though. He's not reliable every nite, like Dwight Howard or Rashard Lewis, or Jameer. Yes they are good, but good enough? Jury Still out, in my book.

For reals.

You're right about Vince, but he's been pretty steadily good as of late. I think the fact that he's not the first or even second option on the team helps take a lot of pressure off him. I think the Magic learned a lot in their unsuccessful Finals run last year, they seem very hungry this year because of it. Not saying they're a lock or anything, but they're definitely playing the best basketball right now. I'm rooting for the Cavs so I'm terrified of the Magic, especially with Lebron not 100%.
