thoughts after all the game 2's


Although the playoffs have been exciting so far, only one of the 8 1st round series (Philly-Det) is tied 1-1. Detroit is going to handle Philly but I could see Philly winning one more game. Here are my thoughts on the other 7

Series I think are just about over

Celtics 2 Hawks 0

This series was over before it started and the Hawks only made it worse by talking.

Jazz 2 Rockets 0

The Rockets aren't going to come back from losing both games at home especially without Yao and Utah being so good at home

Cavs 2 Wizards 0

The Wizards looked horrible in Game 2. LeBron outscored the Big 3 by himself. They don't have a way to slow down LeBron and Arenas isn't healthy.

Series I think aren't over yet but not looking good for the teams down

Lakers 2 Nuggets 0
The Nuggets just can't guard anyone. Game 1 it's Gasol dropping 36, 16, and 8 and Game 2 it's Kobe dropping 49 and 10. Denver could stretch it to 5 or 6 but that's it.

Hornets 2 Mavs 0
The Mavs can't do anything to slow down CP3. He's running wild and completely dominating. They don't have the players on their roster anymore (Devin Harris) to even slow him down. They look swagless like they did last year against the W's.

Spurs 2 Suns 0

The Suns blew Game 1 and got dominated in the 2nd half of Game 2. Their late game execution is shaky and they are unable to keep Tony P or Manu out of the paint. I can't imagine them winning 4 in a row or winning 4 of 5 and Game 7 in San Antonio.

Magic 2 Raptors 0

Dwight Howard has been beasting and that will continue throughout the series. With that said, Toronto had a chance to steal one in Orlando and blew it by not running a better play at the end of the game. They've showed they can hang with Orlando (after the 1st qtr) but they haven't shown they can beat them yet.
