Cleveland and Oklahoma City are looking scary good so far.
I realize it's the 1st round vs the bottom seed, but neither has been challenged.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

I picked 3 sweeps. CLE and OKC did their job. BOS did not.

I realise the current Boston core swept the Pacers last year, but I wonder what a typical percentage of sweeps-in-the-first-round between the 1/8 and 2/7 seed matchups would be.

Miami just quit after game 2. No more talk about that bogus Heat Culture.

Real shame seeing Riley get swept out of the first round in a lifeless manner.

What a big win for GSW.  Butler being back makes a big difference.  HOU missed 12 FTs (19 for 31).  GSW only missed 2 (20-22).   It appears that HOU was better in most every other box score aspect. They lost it at the FT line.;

It is funny how there's barely anything on espn about the lakers since going down 3-1.  There was the game recap but little else.  When they win there are clips of the TV shows with analysts discussing them.  None of that since Sunday.

Don't worry, they'll win Game 5 and ESPN will say "they are back! Lakers in 7"

Then when they lose, it'll be 24/7 blaming JJ Reddick and Luka while they defend Lebron

As soon as Knicks/Celtics is set in stone, you're going to see an avalanche of Knicks discussion coming from Bristol. It'll be nauseating.

Of course, the Knicks Cheerleader Mr. Stephen A Smith will tell the world the Knicks will win the series while Perkins agrees with him

Redick is getting a lot of blame for his no-subs 2nd half.

Legler was also criticizing him for Redick's bad out of timeout play towards the end. They did some misdirection to free up Luka but Luka was only meant to receive the ball 4 secs into the 5sec violation which left no time to find an alternative when Luka was not open.

Yep. It will be non stop.

I've got my fingers crossed for that one.

Unfortunately, if there's one person who can come back up from 3-1, it's that man playing in their team. That being said, hope the Wolves finish the job in Game 5

Rob Parker at Fox Sports Radio calls JJ Redick the worst coach in the playoffs after Gm 4.
