The NBA playoffs – one of the best championship tournaments in professional sports – is here, and not a moment too soon.
I will be saving the in-depth analysis on each series for a podcast (check it out!). For now, here is the “quick and dirty” on how I think each series will shape out…

Not so sure the Nets don’t take down Chicago. They are a hot team, and Deron is playing at a much higher level that at the beginning of the year.
The big thing that worries me about LA v. SA is Greg Popovich. That man has never had a problem taking down any team coached by D’Antoni in the playoffs.
Your first podcast was really great! It was conversational, opinionated, informative and funny. You are stepping your game up Bro! Nice job! Keep it up!
Lakers over the Spurs? Are you out of your mind?
Apparently so. I still do not know what the hell I was thinking. Way to make me look good Mike D’Antoni!
