Could this be the most competitive 1st round ever?

[nkdlunch]

I wonder...

IMO all series except for Pistons-Magic,Cavs-Wiz could easily go to at least 6 games if not 7.
that's 6 of 8 series going the distance.

I mean, this is the 1st round! teams are supposed to be getting swept right?

[hater]

MIA-CHI
DAL-GS
PHO-LAL
SAS-DEN
HOU-UTA

will all go 6 or 7 games.

[AnkleBreaker21]

well i think the nba loves this shit, they want all the games to go 6 or 7. more games more excitement more people watch, more money

[Rosie O'Donnell]

nope Cleveland and Detroit or both going to sweep.

[Carrot Top]

yeah dam bulls

[tlongII]

Phoenix and Chicago will both win their series in 5 games.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

And if the Wiz were healthy that series could also have been a long one. With any luck this postseason will only get better.

:lmao I thought you said Suns were gonna sweep. :sleep

and how will the blazers do in the lottery? :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

I think that just Nets - Toronto and Utah - Houston will go to 6 or 7 games series.

I don't see this as the most competitive 1st round ever.

I believe the ratio of Tlong posts to Blazers lottery jokes in the playoffs has been about 1:1.

He's probably right about the Suns, and I'd say there's an outside chance that he's right about the Bulls.

[T Park]

Correct on the Suns.

If the Bulls can win game 4, then that one is over in 5 as well.

[Spurminator]

I would be surprised if, in the end, we look back and say this was a competitive first round. I think it looks that way right now because of the Spurs and Mavs losing Game 1.

Some of the teams that made the Playoffs this year are pretty damn bad.

You guys act like no team has ever comeback 2-0 the heat is the best team in the east by far.

[Man of Steel]

I hope we can end the SA/Denver series ends at six, but I think seven seems to be more realistic.

And you're acting like no team has ever lost a series 4-0 or 4-1. I don't think "the best team in the east by far" would be staring a two game deficit in the first round.

the heat are rusty just like the spurs in game 1.
