These playoffs have been epic.
To wit:
1) The awesome San Antonio team taking one last run against a Heat team that won 27 games in a row. Miami is so ridiculous. They're so intriguing. Le Bron is amazing and should be the most fun player in the history of basketball but I hate watching him. D-Wade used to be one of my favorites but all I concentrate on now is how bad he is at whining to the refs and not getting back on defense as a result. You're a grown man, dude. Play basketball.
San Antonio's offense is basketball at its best when they have everything clicking, comprised of unselfish star players who move the ball around with incredibly sophisticated sets that consistently result in open looks.
2) Indiana announcing itself as a title threat in a huge way by taking the Heat to 7.
3) The Grizzlies were my favorite team this year. I know they got swept but it felt like a six game series, if that makes sense. They were awesome in the second round when they dissected OKC.
4) Steph Curry, the most electrifying player in the world for a few weeks. And Klay Thompson.
5) James Harden going crazy against his old team.
6) The dumbass Lakers getting run out of the gym.

Been a great playoffs so far. I'm a big Knicks fan, so was disappointed they couldn't get to the ECF against Miami, but Indiana demonstrated pretty clearly they were the better team over the course of the 2nd and 3rd Rounds.
How about the Thunder? 1 year swoon due to the Westbook injury, or going to miss Harden too much? And where do we slot Chicago in the East next year with a presumably health Rose? I think them and Indiana will pretty clearly be 2-3, behind Miami.
Also, loving the new up and coming teams out West, Memphis, Golden State, Houston to a lesser extent. Challenging the established powers that be- Spurs, OKC.
