Revisiting Nobody is Watching the NBA

Alright, I can admit when I m wrong.  In my last post I talked about how I just couldn’t see getting into the NBA playoffs. They are too long and we know that it is going to be Cavs-Lakers in the final anyway, so why bother?  There seem now to be plenty of reasons:

Celtics Defending: The Celtics looked like they were down.  no Kevin Garnett, then Powe went down.  Scalabrine and Big Baby davis getting heavy minutes.   But they just will not quit.  The Big Three has been the Big one or two each game, it seems like Paul pierce and Ray Allen can’t have great games on the same day. Rajon Rondo has stepped up his game in ways that nobody could have imagined.  Big baby hiots game winners and then knocks over little kids!  The swagger they bring every night is awesome.  I thought the Bulls would get.  Thought they had no chance against Orlando, but they just keep kicking ass.

Those Baby Bulls: The Bulls look ready to go.  They lost an unfortunate series to the Celtics but they showed a lot out there.  Ben Gordon was unbelievable.  They lost, but they gained some toughness and experience.  I only see good things on the horizon for them.

The Cavs Having Fun: They are winning every game easily but they refuse to let up.  LeBron has truly become a superstar in the leaugue and he finally has the right players around him, but what I love most is how much fun they seem to be having on the court.  They are just so much fun to watch play!

Lakers v Rockets: Talk about heart.  The Rockets lost Tracey McGrady mid season, then lost Yao in game two.  Then they stepped up and blew out the Lakers before getting blown out themselves. This series is a roller coaster!  Game seven coming up and the winner (probably the Lakers) gets an amped up Denver team.

Where will amazing happen this year?
