Time for revenge.
Jump for a rewind of the day 16 action and a preview of tonight's playoff festivities!
Day 16 Rewind
Check out IQ's preview: Milwaukee Bucks @ Atlanta Hawks, Utah Jazz @ LA Lakers :: 2010 NBA Playoffs Day 16
Atlanta Hawks 95, Milwaukee Bucks 74 -- Hawks win series 4-3 and advance to 2nd round
I'll miss the Fear the Deer campaign and Brandon Jennings, but let's be honest. The Hawks were the superior squad. On Sunday night they made the Bucks look like this:

LA Lakers 104, Utah Jazz 99 -- Lakers lead 1-0 and please hurry up and knock the Jazz out
I'm glad the Lakers are facing the Jazz in the 2nd round. This will put NBA fans out of their misery. No one likes watching the Jazz. No one likes seeing those loser Utah Jazz fans have a good team (see The NBA has a Fan Problem).
Truth be told the Jazz could probably beat the Phoenix Suns and the way they've been playing lately, probably even beat the San Antonio Spurs (and man that would've been a PAINFULLY boring series to watch).
Ron-Ron please feel free to go into the stands... you know, just to say hello. [via www.lakers-fan.com]
By the way why does no one ever bring up how much the Lakers absolutely OWN the Jazz? Why does no one ever bring up how much Phil Jackson OWNS Jerry Sloan? Despite being one of the straight up meanest coaches in the history of the league (not to say I don't respect him and think he's a hell of a coach) why does the media seem infatuated with Coach Sloan? He can do no wrong in their eyes. He gets the complete opposite treatment that Don Nelson gets from the media.

Tonight we've got some more Round 2 madness...
Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers -- Cavs lead 1-0
5pm PST on TNT | CelticsBlog - Boston Celtics | Fear the Sword - Cleveland Cavaliers
For the future and hope of the free world, please Boston Three Party + Rajon Rondo knock out the Cavs so LeBron can go to NEW YORK.
Still it'd be nice to see good ol' Twan get a ring.
Predictions
- Celtics by 1
- Antawn Jamison has a fantastic night that goes under the radar
- Rajon Rondo drops 10+ dimes
- Brian Scalabrine gets some playing time
- LeBron James.... do I really have to tell you?
Man this guy is going to have a blast in New York!
San Antonio Spurs @ Phoenix Suns -- REVENGE please!
7:30pm on TNT | Pounding the Rock -- San Antonio Spurs | Bright Side of the Sun -- Phoenix Suns
Yes, yes I know it's the Snores, but this is going to one fun series. There's some history between these two teams and plenty of drama. This is going to be one fun series- provided the Suns win Game 1. If they loose it, the sun will be setting real fast. This game is critical for the Suns and shoot, for the fun-ness of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. No one outside of San Antonio wants to see the Spurs win this series.
NO ONE.
These guys approve. [via www.nba.com]
By the way it's cool to see Grant Hill doing some big things in year 37 of his "what could have been" career. Believe it or not this is the first time he's made it to the Elite 8. Check out these good words on GHill:
- Hill finding peace of mind [ESPN]
- Grant Hill: Remembering who he was and appreciating who he is [SB Nation]
- VIDEO: Grant Hill Tells Jerryd Bayless To Respect His Elders. [SB Nation]
Also, great trade. <sarcasm>

About Jerry Sloan, I think you meant to say
He can do NO wrong in their eyes.
Also, classic case of lose/loose
“If they loose it, the sun will be setting real fast. "

Phil Jackson owning Jerry Sloan?
The only thing Phil Jackson owns is the best roster in the NBA… again. He does not even compare to Jerry Sloan (or Don Nelson for that matter) as a coach.
Arrrrghhh
there goes that robotic defense chant
Rasheed’s looking like the guy they thought they signed…
Stephen Curry is the future.

Whoa, that was strange to see Rondo pass it on that fast break
it looked like he had the layup
Wow Cavs fans suck compared to us
They are really really spoiled. It’s playoffs and they’re silent if the team isn’t up. They’re so used to winning they don’t even really care because they expect to win all the time. I hope they lose Lebron and realize how much they suck without him. I’m just hating but if we had Lebron our arena would be the loudest arena ever in the history of all sports. PERIOD!

Until the LeBron bandwagon fans come
and fill up the seats normally taken by hardcore Warriors fans. I bet many of the Cavs fans there are just LeBron fans
Yeah thats true but
Aren’t we all Lebron fans? ;)
I bet we could turn those Laker fans and Lebron fans into Warrior fans.
They will be assimilated
Resistance is futile
ITA
They’re totally spoiled. You’d think after all their suffering, they’d be even more hungry for a championship. I don’t see any excitement from the people in the stands. They just act like they deserve it because they have LeBron.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
Good Celtics ball movement
to a Rondo airball…? facepalm
What's worse than a facepalm?
That was a terrible final 6 seconds for the Celtics, looking confused and not getting up a shot.
Rondo has 12 assists, wow
How did he do that? Plus he played all 24 min
I'd be sad if Doug Collins leaves TNT
He’s a great analyst to listen to
"Also, great trade. "
Is it possible for Atma to ever write a post involving J-Rich and/or Wright without bi***ing about how much a bad trade he thinks it is?
"Monta is the MAN." -Bob Fitzgerald
Charles
top 3 PG’s in the NBA (with CP3 present):
1) Deron Williams (because he’s bigger than Paul and he got better)
2) Chris Paul
3) Derrick Rose (??)
No Rondo, Nash. Oh man
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
oh COME ON
that should be a travel. That was a GENEROUS jump stop
For god's sake
that’s a lebron TRAVEL on that replay
LOL, OBVIOUS LeBron travel not called
Don’t get it
"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis
Yeah
he needs to retire and join Kenny and Chuck.
They should play Carlito more

No idea LOL
I just remember him when I used to watch

If they can get past Boston
Albeit the refs helping them out

Another lob to garnett!
Cavs haven’t stopped that
Anthony Morrow with an and-1 shot
oh, never mind, that was Ray Allen
The crowd
can’t even muster up enough energy to boo the opposing player at the line. Shouldn’t matter what the score is.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
Man, I still can't stand Cleveland Home Games
The monotone De-Fense chant irritates me so much.

Nice Celtics ball movement
here comes some Cavs fans boos
that was kind of strange
James acted like he never seen a double team when driving into the lane
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
Hahahaha
yeah, that’s pretty accurate on what happened
great celtics team defense that time
second defender sliding over to block the lane
Ahhh
thats what happened to the Cavs. LeBron got the MVP award on pregame and that messed up his game.
awww
Rasheed almost closed the qtr with a dagger
Cavs should hang their head in shame
for not grabbing and holding on to that rebound
Varejao is the 2nd most valuable player on the Cavs, though

He is?
Why is he coming off the bench? Unless he’s playing the Ginobili type bench role.
Pierce stopping the bleeding with a drive
Celtics FINALLY score
I think the Celtics let up
Celtics defense was tougher earlier
Nash with a stephen curry move
strolling under the basket along the baseline, suddenly a reverse lay in
where is the spurs defense?
Nash going anywhere he wants
stephen curry with a cross court pass!
oh, that’s nash
That was a strange shot by Dragic
was that some kind of a lefty hook?
Hahahaha
Never heard that before. Grant Hill left to go to the locker room. Reason: bathroom
than a charge
You can see Grant Hill make himself VERY EASY to be knocked over
This is too easy for the Spurs
what are the Suns doing?
Again, that's a flop
the secondary defender made himself very easy to fall
There should be no more charge calls
unless the guy pile drives the defender into the floor
Arrrgh
Why are the suns giving the and-1 foul?
What are these Suns fans doing?
They’re chanting the goodbye song in game 1?!?
