NBA Playoffs

The Hawks have been a big surprise.. Mike Conley's absence has made Utah look like every other team. They went from great ball movement, to iso ball, and Donovan isn't really a point guard, but not really a shooting, kinda like Wade. Both played defense, but Donovan has a better 3-pt shot.

The injuries hurt the game. We'll never know the truly best team.

And then all the coaching changes!

-SVG fired
-Stevens fired (and promoted)
-Scott Brooks is gone
-Rick Carlisle leaves (VERY surprising), and Donnie Nelson

And then today the Celtics are trading Kemba and picks for Al Horford. OKC have 36 1st/2nd rounders (18 each)... They better trade those assets before teams low-ball them.

I've been kinda following the playoffs. Seeing the Sixers blow leads all the time was interesting. With their talent they should have swept the Hawks.
The Clippers' comeback last night was impressive and happened in a very short time. And without their best player. Mann looked unstoppable. I wonder how he will perform now that he isn't an unknown. Mitchell is not the best Jazz player. I heard someone mention that and it's ignorant of many better players in that team's history.
The Nets looked like the team to beat but with Irving out, they are looking like they won't last against the Bucks. And Harden probably shouldn't be playing.
I'd say the best team I've seen so far is the Suns.

That Bucks/Nets game was awesome... Nice to have another Game 7 between Philly/Atlanta, and I think Philly will win.

Okay then.

Trae Young stunk it up, and Atlanta STILL won on Philly's floor Game 7.
