That "technical difficulty" at the beginning was the best way to start the NBA Playoffs.. So relaxing.

ESPN is terrible, amd the announcers they got for game 1, should be fired at halftime.

Trash, and it makes the NBA look bad.

Certainly didn't miss the announcing team, they're no George and Greg.

Blow-outs. Wasn't expecting the Suns to lose by 25.

Suns are the the second-worst constructed team in the league.

Sigh. Yep. You know.

I'm hoping with a 1st round knock-out, that they blow up the team. I don't see it happening, because of the investment with nothing to show for it, but I'd love to trade for Booker, because he's so complementary to Cade. Great off the ball, excellent shooter, not a bad defender, and can handle the ball. And he's from here, and he might wanna play for his home-team.

good NY-Philly game.... Josh Hart was great. On the official Pistons message board, people didn't like him. They like "sexy" I guess.

Too bad Embiid is hurt. He attempted and dunked a great move, but it seemed like a bad idea.

Yeah, I like his game. He's always been a great rebounder for his size and he's capable of having some big games. He's never really taken that next step, but he's played well alongside a couple of different ball-dominant guards and he manages to keep the ball moving. It doesn't stick. Which is good. At times he could probably be a little more aggressive, but he's very solid. I wanted him a few years ago when we were looking at trade partners for Grant.

So silly of ABC to have to tell us how many feet a brick is... Guys would shoot a higher mid-range % if they weren't so scared to shoot it.

The end of this Knicks/Sixers game is kinda wild.

I love it. He can take his flopping, googly eyed ass home.

Man he is gonna give me nightmares after watching him blink one eye, while the other rolled around in it's socket. Like he's possessed or something.

Knicks-Sixers, followed by Lakers-Nuggets! Great stuff. Not enough hours to watch it all but I try to catch every 4th quarter. Both were insane!

Great ending to both games. LA/PHI should both feel good about their chances of evening the series at home, but G3 is now must-win territory. I still think both may go 6 or 7.

Both games on TNT went down to the wire.. Comebacks by the home team. I knew Murray's shot was going in. He's done it before.

I think Philly and LA will be deflated and would be surprised if they tied the series.

PHI will handle business, but I think Denver has now beaten the Lakers 10 games in a row, or something like that. James has logged heavy minutes both games and they may not have the depth.

Sucks they essentially wasted DLo having a bounce back night, but the Lakers only scored 40 total points in the 2nd half. With AD getting whatever he wanted. If Rui & Reaves play better at home they have a chance, but you may be right about Denver ending it quickly.

Ya somethin ain't right with his eyes. He was wearing sunglasses at shootaround today I guess too

Watching Bojan and Morris playing an important role in the playoffs for the Knicks and Minny pisses me off, because we got 0 for them. We donated them and they're good players.
