Some quick thoughts on each NBA Playoff series.
Lakers/Utah : As expected the Lakers rolled. I dont seem them getting beat before the NBA Finals. Odom has shined in role and the even bigger difference maker is Bynum, If you look at the numbers it real simple, when Bynum plays well they win and when he doesnt they lose. Yes I know Kobe is one of the best world, but he isnt winning a title w/out Bynum.
Houston/Portland: Havent really watched much of the series due to the time of games and my schedule. Houston up 3-1, not really shocked by that. Portland is so young it may take a couple trips to the playoffs to win a series with this core.
Dallas/San Antonio: This series surprised because of how easily the Mavs handled the Spurs. Parker and Duncan were about all the Spurs had. They really need to revamp their roster in the off season with more athletic and younger guys. They have the best coach and gm combo in the league so they should get back on track next season. Duncan is starting to slip a little bit.
Denver/NO: I will make this one short. I under estimated how good Denver was this year and I thought New Orleans would take them to 7. I have no idea what happpened to the Hornets this year. Injuries Im guessing, but geez. 121-63? Like a Harlem Globetrotter score.
