Any basketball fans out there? What are your thoughts about the playoffs so far?
My Knicks got eviscerated, the Lakers are a complete surprise (because they have sucked), and San Antonio looked like a bunch of geriatrics. Who's going to take this championship?

It's been a great playoff season so far.
How many people actually thought the Mavs would beat the Lakers and do it in four STRAIGHT?
Nobody saw the Memphis Grizzlies beating the Spurs. I give them credit for taking the Thunder to seven games. The Grizzlies played with great effort and heart.
I'm not suprised Boston got beat by the Heat. They were never the same team after the Kendrick Perkins trade. They need rebounding and more athletic players. The big three still have some mileage in them but they need help.
I think the Chicago Bulls are the best team in the NBA. They have great defense, unselfish offense and Derrick Rose is awesome.
I'm looking for a Mavs - Bulls NBA Final with the Bulls in sex.

Now that the Lakers are out, I don't really care who wins, but I have to say that this year has been pretty exciting. None of the eight best teams last year are in the top four this year—that's unbelievable!

How fun is it to see these young teams make these playoff runs! Chicago, Memphis and OKC have added a little excitement to the playoffs compared to the last several years. Now having said that, I'm looking for the Mavs to seek revenge for the 2006 devistation handed to them by the NY Yankees Heat. Of course, only if KD cooperates.
Besides, rumor has it MCuban will break out into a Dancing with the Stars routine right on center court if they win it all. Who wouldn't want to see that!

The Thunder's inexperience is has really been exposed by the gritty and experienced Mavs...as soon as James Harden fouled out the Thunder could not generate any offense and the Mavs began the hugs comeback. This series is probably about over, but the Thunder could pull out another "game 2" in D-town.

Dirk is unguardable when he decides to be the offense. Yeah, Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett could have done it in their prime, but there is no one like them ahead. Even Lebron.

With about 5 minutes left in the 4th, the Mavs outscored the Thunder 28-6 through the rest of the game (4th & OT). The Thunder blew a 15 point lead. That is complete dominance by the Mavs on both ends of the court.
From a Life/Business perspective, the Mavs kept their focus and their determination to finish what they started.
