LeBron James nearly had a quadruple double!
12 points
9 rebounds
9 assists
10 turnovers...
76-72. That was the final score. Are you serious? Ray Allen scores 0 points? LeBron James and Paul Pierce make 2 field goals each? How did these two teams even score in the 70's? I didn't see the game, but I hear Habitat for Humanity is able to build a new home with all of those bricks. Sheesh. Add in the 38 combined turnovers and I'm glad I didn't watch it. That's not "playoff basketball", heck that's not even basketball. How can so many great players stink up a playoff game?
Anyways, hit the jump for tonight's matchups.
Tonight, superheroes will make an appearance.
G3: (2) Detroit Pistons @ (3) Orlando Magic (Pistons lead 2-0)
5pm, TNT
Orlando will need Superman tonight!
Will Superman come out or will Detroit bring back the kryptonite they used at home? Or maybe Detroit can just bring along the game clock and scorekeeper they used. I expect Orlando to take this one with a big game from Superman.
G6: (4) Utah Jazz @ (1) Los Angeles Lakers (Lakerslead 1-0)
7:30pm, TNT
The Lakers have a couple superheroes in the building already.
Spiderman
Ironman
They'll just need their newly-crowned MVP to continue to lead this team to victory. Which I'm sure he'll do.
Post your Golden Picks and any playoff game thoughts in the comments.

Based on what I've read,
the Boston/Cleveland game makes me miss the entertainment of Warriors and Nellie ball even more.

the cleveland-boston game, in all of it’s futility and all-around sloppy performances, maintained a level of intrigue. as the score remained close and both teams continued to play so poorly the question became “who is playing worse?”

Anyone
actually watching the Detroit/Orlando series? There’s just not much intensity in the game.

I don't get it. Can someone explain?
I’m watching the battle of teams I hate, Jazz vs Fakers. Anyway, the commentator said the Jazz can’t keep up with the speed of the Lakers. If they can’t, howcome Utah always kicks the crap out of us? We’re a running team too.

I'd guess that it's because
1) the Lakers actually play defense
2) They have 2 big men with quickness and length that cause serious problems in the post for the Utah bigs
3) MVP
4) Phil Jackson > Don Nelson

It all makes sense.
Thank you very much.
