The 2010 NBA Playoffs are here! Day 1 features so many (as Monta Ellis would say) "soop-a-stahs" that I didn't even have room to list Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Joe Johnson, Zaza Pachulia (just checking if you're reading), and Josh Smith.

Anyhow jump like a SOOP-A-STAH!
#8 Chicago Bulls @ #1 Cleveland LeBrons Cavaliers
12:00pm PST | ABC
Blog Buddies: Blog-a-Bull + Fear the Sword
Seriously can we hurry up and get this series over?
Seriously can we hurry up and knock out the Cavs from the playoffs so we can free LeBron James from the armpit of America?
Prediction: Cavs by 11
#6 Milwaukee Bucks @ #3 Atlanta Hawks
2:30pm PST | ESPN
Blog Buddies: Brew Hoop + Peachtree Hoops
The Bucks won 46 games this season. In other words they wouldn't have even sniffed the playoffs in the Western Conference.
He's still got a ways to go, but call me a Brandon Jennings fan:
So much flava! He'll get there.
Prediction: Hawks by 5
#5 Miami Heat @ #4 Boston Celtics
5:00pm PST | ESPN
Blog Buddies: Peninsula is Mightier + CelticsBlog
It's a battle of mediocre vs old. Oooh, I can't wait!
The KG intimidation factor cannot be underestimated. [via cache.boston.com]
Prediction: Celtics by 7
#5 Utah Jazz vs #4 Denver Nuggets
7:30pm EST | ESPN
Blog Buddies: SLC Dunk + Denver Stiffs
To quote San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary (check Niners Nation- Ted Ginn?!) this series is going to be "physical... with an F".
No head butts about it- FYSICAL. [via assets.sbnation.com]
Also get well Coach Karl!
We're rooting for you Coach! [via www.nba.com]
Prediction: Nuggets by 7

How can you not adopt the Thunder?
Go Durant, take down the evil empire!
Thank you, Chris Cohan, for finally doing the right thing.
I'm interested in watching the Bucks Hawks game next
Let’s see how much of a ROY candidate Brandon Jennings really is.
Haha
Troy Murphy is now the player who has played the most games without seeing the playoffs.
I've seen him pass to someone from the point spot
Can’t remember if he’s passed in the middle of a play, though

just moved to a new apt
unfortunately only have the basic channels :(
49er faithful since July 11, 1985
This is where Nellie ball would be useful for the Bucks
No size, so play speed to counter
Jennings is having to carry the team
no one else giving any help
Kinda funny how Jennings 55 point game always comes with an asterisks
Jennings 55 points as a rookie! (*against Golden State though)
Wow, I go out for some food
and now the Bucks are only down 10 at the end of the 3rd. What happened?
That was stupid if Ridnour
The qtr is running out of time. Launch the shot!
Hawks 2 minute collapse incoming

Weren't the Hawks
acting like Jekyll and Hyde last season too? When the played the Heat?
My goodness
the refs called travel on wade
hmm, didn't realize Boston is 2nd in the league in forced TOs
Take my bags, not my top 3 pick!

Interesting stat
15.6 turnovers forced a game. #1 team in forcing turnovers: 17.6 per game, and it’s us
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 17, 2010 7:13 PM PDT up reply actions
What I found interesting was that people universally say we are a bad defensive team, and we are.
But when the announcers said the Celtics were a good defensive team they cited their forced TOs…

I guess the rest of our defense is so bad
it buries our #1 in forced turnovers stat
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 17, 2010 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions
No doubt, just commenting that the only thing they cited for Celtics good defense was forced TOs
The Dubs complete inability to grab the defensive rebound, and allow so many offensive rebounds probably has something to do with our bad defense.

I was very surprised
that the Celtics are the WORST offensive rebounding team. 8.7 oreb per game. The 2nd worst is us, 9.2 oreb per game.

Part of it is that we also don't really take care of the ball
by Reverend_Randy on Apr 17, 2010 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions
hmm?
How does us not taking care of the ball affect our ability to force turnovers from our opponents?

Alley-oop fail....

i think this is all over
i just don’t see the heat figuring out how to get past the celtics defense
When Wade goes cold, the Heat are cold.

Wtf is going on? Pacers brawl remake?

this was already a great defensive game
this should push the intensity of this series a couple of notches
Garnett thugging it

Not familiar with playoffs, are there future ramifications of KG getting 2 techs?

I think it's the usual fines
and I think there’s a limit to how many playoff Ts you can get before a suspension
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 17, 2010 7:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Game over, maybe next time Heat.
Take my bags, not my top 3 pick!
"Winning is not enough. All others must lose." - Larry Ellison
I don't think KG should get any more punishment
I think the 2 Ts were correct. 1 for starting the confrontation, 1 for a blatant elbow
Is it me,
or does it look like the Nuggets forgot to turn on half their lights? Much dimmer than the Celtics game.
Part of their strategy?

Jazz playing like we do,
in transition, take a 3
NYM vs STL bottom of the 20th?!?!?! WTF

Go OKC!
They are going to be a really tough first round matchup for the Lakers. Artest isn’t long enough or quick enough to stick with Durant, and Fisher isn’t quick enough to stick with Westbrook. Sefalosha can do a good job of guarding Kobe. Green can guard Odom well enough. Kristic, Collison, and Ibaka can do a decent job on Gasol and Bynum if he plays. Harden could hurt the Lakers off the bench.
I really think the x-factor of that series will be whether Westbrook takes advantage of being covered by D-Fish
Durant will obviously get his, but OKC will need to exploit this mismatch as much as they can if they want to win. As much as I like D-Fish, he really isn’t a starting PG anymore.

Another injury, this time to okur
The winner of the playoffs will be the team that gets injured the least
now that was a strange commercial
carmelo anthony fans in utah
oooh
a stephen curry cameo on one of these NBA commercials
I think the Jazz would like to sign Devean George right about now
Because no one can stop Carmelo right now
dagger there
billups just comes in, beats the buzzer with a 3
