It's Playoff time in the NBA and there are some very intriguing matchups. Day 1 (yesterday) was pretty interesting. For those of you that missed it, here's a rundown.
The Cavs beat the Wizards and King James recorded a triple-double in his first playoff game. This is a good matchup because in the regular season the Wizards took the series 3 to 1. But with Bron-Bron playing his A game, the Wizards are going to have a hard time getting the best of this playoff series.
The Spurs looked incredible in their dominating performance against the Kings. They won by close to 40 points.
The Clippers beat the Nuggets in last night's late game. I did not catch it but apparently the Clips had a 10 point lead near the end but coughed it up, only to eek out victory in the end. Even though the Nuggets are the higher seed, the Clippers have the better record and in my opinion are the stronger team. But if the first game was close, it may mean the entire series will be close.
The Heat beat the Bulls in a very competitive game. If you ask me, the Heat look a bit iffy and a hot team like the Bulls might be able to pull out the upset. I saw this game and it was great. The Bulls kept it close for the entire game and just fell a little short at the end. A good deal of that had to do with the Heat's Wade and O'Neal who played exceptionally. Gordon, Hinrich, and Nocioni of the Bulls put in stellar performances. I hope this series is close. And if the first game is any indication, it will be a marvelous series to watch.

Hi. The Lakers-Suns would be an interesting game too. Although I'm rooting for the Suns.
I'm not much of a pro basketball fan. Do you know the comic strip Kudzu (Doug Marlette?) It has a preacher in it that looks like the Quaker Oats guy. In one strip years ago, he was answering questions from letters and someone wrote asking, "What's eternity going to be like?" He responded, "Like the NBA playoffs, only shorter." So about half-way through eternity, I'll start to pay attention... Let me know then if Detroit is still in the running.
