NBA Playoffs Thread...

[Troy McClure]

So the NBA Playoffs started here on Saturday. It should be one of the more competitive post-seasons in a long time, particularly in the Western Conference, where every team won at least 50 games.

East
1. Boston Celtics (66-16) vs. 8. Atlanta Hawks (37-45) Boston leads 1-0
2. Detroit Pistons (59-23) vs. 7. Philadelphia 76ers (40-42) 76ers lead 1-0
3. Orlando Magic (52-30) vs. 6. Toronto Raptors (41-41) Magic lead 1-0
4. Cleveland Cavaliers (45-37) vs. 5. Washington Wizards (43-39) Cavs lead 2-0

Anybody got a team they are rooting for or against? Me..I'm going all out for the Phoenix Suns. I've had season tickets the last 3-plus years for them. If they can't get at least to the Finals, my summer will suck. Their first game vs. the Spurs was a fantastic game except for the final score, 117-115 Spurs in double overtime.
