Arsenal, crucial must win game to get top 4.

Hawks over Pacers?
Reasons?

Just a feeling. I usually try to pick an upset or two instead of just chalk.

But they split the season series. Indy didn't play well down the stretch, but neither did Atlanta for that matter. I think Atlanta takes game 2 and it'll get interesting from there.

Btw Playoffs kicked off today. Nuggets v Warriors starts right now.

I don't get the Kobe/Kimmel joke

And typical Celtics loss we saw. Outplay the other team for 3 quarters and then blow it in the 4th quarter. Green and Bradley were awesome though. Jason Terry, can kindly gtfo. They might as well have thrown a giant orange cone out there in place of him, same impact offensively and defensively

The one good play he made, the refs jobbed him on. Clean offensive rebound that was called a foul for some odd reason. Pierce also cost us, he had a horrible shot when we were up 7 points, he chucks a 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. WHY

But to turn the ball over 20 times, get basically no bench scoring and still be right there at the end on the road is a positive I guess.

Only lower seed I have winning in the first round are the Bulls..

I've never been a fan of any of Karl's Nuggets teams, but I give them the edge over Golden State because of their home court advantage and GS's lack of playoff experience..

The lack of playoff experience is bs. Our downfall will probably be the altitude in Denver.

Oh man David Lee just got hurt. Hope he's ok. If he's hurt badly, we won't have a chance.

CURRY just hits a 3 to tie the game at 95 with 14 secs left. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

FRAK Andre Miller just killed it. He's unbelievable in the playoffs every goddam year

We lose by 2

I knew it was over as soon as I saw Green one on one with Miller

I miss Brandon Rush ffs.

I change my coaching prediction for the Pistons... Their next coach will be Lionel Hollins.

After Memphis gets bounced in the 1st round yet again, their cheapskate owners won't pay him and he'll be in search of a new job.

Bucks hanging on after 1st quarter.

Class personified:

Spoiler:

Thunder cruised against the Rockets in game 1

Westbrook with a near triple double.

Home teams did the business as expected. I think Games 2 will provide some surprises.

On my ps3 so cant be asked to make too long posts.

LOL at DRose EBAY.

I thought the Thunders style might give the Rockets a chance to make it a 6 game series, now probably not. I forgot how bad we defend outside Asik.

Spurs and LA wasok, Gasol and Blake showed real good effort. Howard cant pass and cant run plays without getting trapped, leads to turnovers all the time with those 2. When Spurs shoot that bad and still win easy....LA will do well to win 1 game imo.

Kobe was tweeting all during the game 1 yesterday.

Afterwards D'Antoni: "It's nice to have that commentary "

he went on to call Kobe a fan(which he is at this point, but marginalizing one of the goat players down to "fan" was hilarious to me).

Kupchak said that MDA will be back next season, which I'm inclined to believe. They fire D'Antoni and now they are paying 3 coaches at one time. Not happening.

Lee out - I think that ends GS hopes ( which were slim to begin with). Hopefully Curry explodes and they get a game.

New York - Boston - New York played pretty poorly from about minutes 5-36. But Melo and especially Kidd got it done. Kidd just has instincts man, sometimes he just knows where to be, he'll make a run into the paint and not even have to jump to get an offensive board. Green lit it up as well...but they missed Rondo, Bradley is still learning to run the offense..he threw some bad pase.
