Here's the bracket. Is there a more boring first round matchup out there than Nets vs. Hawks? I'm really looking forward to Clipps/Spurs and Warriors/Pelicans. Both should be entertaining series.

_________________

yea, Warriors-Pelicans should be really fun. I could see the Pelicans taking a game or two

Did they release TV schedule?

Raptors/Wiz has to be the NBA-TV Siberia series.

If game one is any indication...this is as much fun as listening to FF talk buckets

I'm out.

Curry not used to being on the court for the 4th quarter.

too many reviews at the end of these games.

the Wiz up 2-0 never saw that

That was fun watching Kevin Love's shoulder pop out

Rooting for a Cavs win. Love with a shoulder injury plus JR Smith looking at a possible suspension for hitting Crowder in the face, could give the Bulls a Game 1 win.

It will be interesting to see how many games JR Smith gets and how long Kevin Love it out with that shoulder injury.

Everybody knew going into the season that this was the Bulls' best shot at winning the East in the Thibs-Rose era. Today, their chances are a lot better than yesterday. I expect JR to get 2 games. No less. No more. Kevin Love will be wearing a Lakers jersey the next time he steps on the court.

I think JR Smith may get more due to being a repeat offender.

i think it was serious though. everyone was uneasy. shaq didnt even flinch a smile. even barkley had an awkward smile when he said hackadummy and then he had to elaborate it in a delicate way

Spurs-Clips game has Andy Richter excited:

This Clippers-Spurs series is one of the reasons the NBA is so good. Great players and coaching at its best. This is one of those series that you never want to end.

Clips and Spurs game 7 has been great game. Coming down to the wire

Doc Rivers is basically the little league dad who starts his own travel team when his son doesn't make the good travel team.

_________________

Austin Rivers is not looking that bad actually. He made some nice plays last night. He looks as though he could be solid backup combo guard in the league. He doesn't need to be playing for a team in which his father has total control because the perception rightly or wrongly will always be that he is only in the league because of his father.

Maybe Houston will dump their "Billy Beane of the NBA" GM now.

Wizards one and done on the offensive end. No rebounding at all.

Kyle Korver pulling a Casper in the playoffs:

well, don't stop guarding Korver, jeez.

And Wizards still have zero rebounders under the hoop on offense.

78-78, wizards ball with a full shot clock, 38 seconds on the game clock.
