Playoff update

We are 10-2 now and only 5 or 6 of those were cheating!

Best series as of now:
Surprisingly, I think it is the 4-5 out West. I figured without AK (this nickname comes from his initials) or The Big Chill (this nickname comes from the fact that he is Turkish and doesn't play defense), the Jazz would get steamrolled. It now looks as if this series will go at least 6 games (the Jazz have to win only 1/2 in the hostile ESA) at which point AK might make a triumphant return.

The 2-7 Texas x Texas matchup should also be delicious. Mark Cuban's drop of the H bomb when discussing the Spurs organization should excite some already excitable people.

Worst series as of now:
The bullish cavs stand no chance of losing at this point. Game 2 stood witness to a near flawless game plan from Chicago: they executed well, had a solid defensive scheme, and made shots. Unfortunately, The King will not be stopped and it is becoming obvious that this series is a mere formality.

What to look forward to:
Both Portland and Salt Lake City are downright nasty places to play. Watch these upcoming home games and enjoy them. We may also see something that is certainly going to be a long-term NBA trend: Keven 'the Bront' Durrant (see future post) will win his first playoff game. Keep watching and reading and participating, Alistair.
