NBA Playoffs

Yesterday was the last day of the regular season for the NBA and now its on to the good stuff. Unfortunately as a Jazz fan the season ended on a down note but at least we made the playoffs right. That's more then fourteen other teams can say. Here are the match ups. In the East we have Cleveland playing Detroit in the 1-8 match up, we have Boston playing Chicago in the 2-7, we have Orlando playing Philly in the 3-6, and we have Miami playing Atlanta in the 4-5 match up. For the West we have Los Angeles playing Utah in the 1-8, Denver playing New Orleans in the 2-7, San Antonio playing Dallas in the 3-6 and Portland playing Houston in the 4-5. The funny thing with the playoffs this year is that everyone thinks the two number one seeds are just going to fly through the playoffs to each other. That would be great for basketball honestly because in the finals we would have the two best players in the league playing each other for the NBA title. Those two for those of you who don't know would be Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. Its too bad people voting for the MVP of the league this year can't wait til the end of the playoffs cause more then likely we are going to see this match up in the finals. Kevin Garnett of the Celtics is out for the most if not all of the playoffs which we found out today and that just made Cleveland's road much easier to the Finals. It would be pretty hard pressed for the Celtics to have any chance at repeating with their star on the bench. In the west nobody really has a chance against the Lakers this year. They are just to deep on the bench and with some other contenders fighting injuries it looks like it will be a Lakers vs Cavs Finals this year which will be great TV.
