I'm not much of an NBA guy. I know what's going on, but it's just hard to get into it until playoffs time. Well, I'm in full NBA mode. By full, I mean a little. I'd still rather talk BCS, plus one, the 2010 NFL Draft, Braves pitching rotation, but come on. The NBA will crown a champion soon. Well, not soon..in about three months.
My question is this: What happened? In the East, Boston/ATL is knotted up. Same with Rock City and Philly. Orlando/Toronto was closer than the 4-1 series looked. And Jay-Z is having problems knocking Soulja Boy off the charts. While the West teams have dominated. Wasn't the Nuggets/Lakers series supposed to seven? Yeah, not even close. Hornets took care of the Mavs easily (surprising easy). Defending Champs took the best of what the Suns had and easily eclipsed them (see what I did there). The only series of interest in the West is Jazz/Rockets.
Wasn't every series in the West going to be a knock down drag out? Where eight seeds could beat one seeds and you don't know who to pencil in. Didn't the Celts and Pistons have reserved seats for round two after four game sweeps?
All I have to say is beware of three seeds and their point guards. Both PGs have seemed to flip the switch.
I'm not trying to be a sports writer. I just want to share some different views with you.
Sid Bream sliding into home may be my favorite sports memories.
