The first round of the NBA Playoffs has now officially over with the Atlanta Hawks ending the hopes of Brandon Jennings's and his Milwaukee Bucks in seven games.
In the Eastern Conference the number one seed Cleveland Cavaliers and their two time MVP LeBron James defeat the number eight Chicago Bulls in five games. The number two seed Orlando Magic and Dwight Howard basically violated Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats sweeping them off the court in four. . That really doesn't look like a MJ mentality. The number three Atlanta Hawks put an exclamation point on the six seeded Milwaukee Bucks. The series that had me going crazy is the Heat- Celtics one. In a true Miami Heat fan and i was disappointed with my side. We let some senior citizens take a series from us in five games. . I was really tight, but still didn't cry though.
In the Western Conference the number one LA Lakers defeat the youngest team in the NBA Oklahoma City Thunder. I really liked the way Kevin Durant and his teammates made the playoffs after a very disappointing 2008-09 season. The number two seed Dallas Mavericks got punched by the red hot San Antonio Spurs. I saw this coming all the way. If ya'll remember the 2006 finals. The Heat eliminate the Mavs after Nowitzki's side gave them a commanding 2-0 lead. And the year later having the best record and being knocked out by the eight seeded Warriors. The Mavericks are just not a playoff team. Anyway the number three Phoenix Suns and beast Amare Stoudemire defeat the Portland Trailblazers. Everybody saw this coming do to the injury of Brandon Roy. Also the number five Utah Jazz defeat Carmelo's number four Nuggets. I kind of felt bad for the Nuggets since their coach George Karl was diagnosed with cancer and was not with the team. However, this the playoffs and if you don't go hard you will go home. Bye Bye Nuggets.
Round 2 has now started, and teams are extra motivated of making the finals of their conference. In the East the Celts match up with up the Cavs. The only problem is that King James has an elbow injury, and is not in his full potential. However, that's not the only problem. Point Guard of the Celtics Rajon Rondo is just too much for lil Mo Williams. Rondo dished out 19 dimes in a game two victory. My opinion is that the Cavs are going to get knocked out by the Celts in six games. The other matchup is Orlando vs. Atlanta. One word. "Dwight". This is going to be a problem for Atlanta. The Magic won game 1 by 43 points. Damnnnnn. Howard had more blocks than most of the Hawks bench players points. Orlando clearly wins this match up due to size.
In the West the Lakers are too much for the Utah Jazz. Kobe Bryant causes mismatches for the whole Utah Jazz team. The Lakers have a demanding 2-0 lead on the Jazz, therefore they will advance to the next round. The other match up is San Antonio vs. Phoenix. This one is going to be a hot one. The Suns won game 1 but the Spurs will put a battle. Anywayssss the Suns come out victorious and go to the Western finals.
The Celtics are going to run into Superman's Magic in the East finals and lose over there in six games. Yes, Young Dwight will go to the finals again. The Celtics are tooooooo old for this young Magic team. In the West the Lakers will play the Suns and win in 5 games. The reason for that is just Kobe. The Black Mamba will violate everybody from this point on.
The finals are going to be a rematch of the 2009 finals. Lakers vs. Magic. However, this time Orlando will come out victorious. The reason is Dwight Howard. Well all we gotta do is wait, but i can almost guarantee my life that will happen.
