Thank god Boston came back into some kind of form. Not particularly because I want them to win, but more so because I couldn’t take another garbage game like Game 1 of the series. I was pretty much thrilled to see either of the two teams score some points.

In the meanwhile, San Antonio seems to have woken up at home and grabbed a game in a series that was (and hopefully continues to be) controlled by the Hornets.

Lakers – New Orleans Western Conference Finals anyone?

Yes please. JUMP!

You won't be seeing this tonight...

Yet another way to... "Make It Rain!"

But that doesn't mean it ain't worth the jump!

While three of the four matchups in the second round are already underway, there remains a lone 7 game series that has yet to begin. And this series is arguably going to be the most entertaining of them all. (I know… we’ve said that about pretty much every matchup this postseason.)

But who can resist the powerhouse that is the Celtics versus the powerhouse that is LeBron? (I think he has some other guys playing with him as well…) Did Atlanta expose some serious chinks in Boston’s armor that the Cavs will be looking to exploit? Will the Celtics get over their inability to win outside of their house?

It’s all starting tonight. Witness for yourself.

I'm all for We Believe - East Coast Edition...but come on Atlanta, you have to finish what you started!!!

10 points in the 2nd quarter?  Sigh...

Hey, but at least Paul Pierce looks happy...or something....

Mad props to Atlanta for putting up a fight and for putting up a We Believe shirt in their locker room!

On to the 2nd round!

The 1st round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs is almost over and aside from the title bouts of Al Horford vs Paul Pierce, Deshawn Stevenson (Fear the Untrimmed Beard ) vs Mr. Overrated, and the not so super Soulja Boy vs The Most Overrated Rapper Alive, I'd have to say it's been a huge disappointment. Supposed legendary 1st round playoff series Spurs vs Suns and Hornets vs Mavs were all busts. Lakers vs Nuggets was over before you could say "Fisher Flopped! "

Jump for a quick preview of tonight's game that's less entertaining than a regular season Warriors matchup- Pistons @ Sixers, not my preview!

THE PLAYOFFS WAIT FOR NO MAN!!

While I’m stuck here at work, the quest for Hoops Eliteness continues with 4 games tonight. And in 3 out of 4 cases, we may very well see the end of some first round action!

Almost back to Geico commercials for a few months!

So far, the biggest shocker for me is the fact that Philly is actually hanging with the Detroit. While I love a good underdog story (as any Warriors fan should), it’s tough to imagine that this anomaly isn’t going to right itself with tonight’s action.

I’ve got my picks in… Do you?!

Here's the other reason I hate LeBron James.  I can't even have my daily dose of Powerade without seeing his face.  Nuts to this man...

Anyway, big props to Delonte West on his game winning three in the last 5 seconds of last night's game against the Wizards.  It looks it'll be yet another year that the Cavs will knock the Wizards out of the playoffs as they took a 3-1 lead in the series.  Peep the highlights!

Well due to maintenence on the site (sorry about that!) the predictions I made earlier today are tainted. So let's just sit back, pop a cold one, and enjoy some good ol' fashioned NBA Playoff Ball eh?

Go on. It's almost Friday!

And I thought I loved this game!

Interesting little trifecta of games we have this evening. As the Round 1 madness continues, it would appear that most everything is going according to plan (seedwise). Let’s break down tonight’s events shall we? JUMP!
