The NBA Playoffs

I know you guys have been watching the playoffs.  So have I.  They have been so exciting.  There are so many things that I have learned from watching the playoffs.

  1. Chris Paul is the only true point guard left in the NBA.  Rondo passes too much, Steve Nash also passes too much, and Rose is too often out of control.
  2. The Magic are very overrated.  One of the "elite" teams in the league shouldn't be losing 3-1 in a series.
  3. The refs favor the better teams.  In the Celtics vs. Knicks series, the Knicks got screwed. In Game 1 there was under a minute left and the Knicks had the ball up by one point, and Toney Douglas passed the ball to Melo.  Oh wait, an off ball foul on Melo.  Then the Celtics got the ball, Ray Allen hits a three, because KG tripped Toney Douglas.
  4. PAUL PIERCE GETS EVERY CALL!*
  5. The Heat are the best team in the league, and right now, I would say they would most likely play the Thunder in the NBA Finals if both teams keep playing like that.
*First of all, I'm a Knick fan, but come on admit it, he gets every freaking call to go his way.  Melo's foul, Pierce was defending him.
The Thunder are the best team in the Western Conference.  Kevin Durant is the best scorer in the league and Kendrick Perkin's defense allows them to shut down anybody on the inside.  Russell Westbrook may take too many shots as a point guard for a team with a stud player (KD).  Also, the Thunder's opponents will have a tough time beating them in that electric arena where it is rocking.  And last but not least, if the Grizzlies and the Thunder win, the Thunder will play the Grizzlies in the second round.
