The Playoffs

So in the Eastern Conference we have Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and New Jersey with a win each. On the West Coast, we have Phoenix, Golden State, Houston and Denver with a win each. In my opinion there are 2 games which I find suprising, Denver beating San Antonio and Golden State beating Dallas. I have no second thoughts about Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, New Jersey, San Antonio and Dallas getting into the second round, but with a loss for San Antonio and Dallas, this sheds a new light on things. What are your feeling about the playoffs so far?

im not really surprised dallas lost game 1. golden state has won all their games against the mavs since don nelson took the job of calling the shots for the warriors. it seems golden state is dallas' achilles heel in the nba right now. baron davis is playing superb basketball, especially in game 1 where in he dropped 33 points. plus, stephen jackson is playing good defense in stopping dirk nowitzki and limited the german star to a mediocre 4-for-16 from the field. don nelson is a basketball genius, he figured out dallas will come up strong in the playoffs and ployed a gameplan of his own. if avery johnson cant find a way to beat the warriors, dallas 67-15 dream season might just go to waste. on the other hand, denver's win over the spurs is not that surprising too. a team that got a carmelo anthony and an allen iverson is expected to win games. denver is a powerhouse team. aside from melo and AI, the nuggets got a superb cast of marcus camby, nene, steve blake and jr smith. but we cant count san antonio out yet. same scenario happened in 2005. denver took game 1 and san antonio blown out denver in game 2 and took the series. phoenix on the other hand had a bad start too. but good for them they were able to bounce back in the second half to beat the vengeful kobe bryant and the lakers. an eastern conference upset is very unlikely. the inexperienced orlando vs detroit, short-handed washington vs cleveland, young toronto vs new jersey, injury struck miami vs chicago

For me , they really did it . Golden State killed Dallas , there's no doubt that they will beat Dallas , but will they win four games , it;s still hard to say , impossible is nothing . Also , Denver had a good play . Iverson is a great player . Blake always can give him a hands . Add Anthony , it;s not a surprise Dever will win the game once they paly like a team .
