Quick Hits: NBA Playoffs

I couldn't have been more wrong on the Rockets. This series is once again proving that the regular season is . . . the regular season, and it doesn't mean anything come playoff time.

Love him or hate him, LeBron probably isn't as overrated as Deshawn Stevenson thought. Oh, and Deshawn, as much as you probably wish you were invisible right now, we still see you. Taunting when down by 20 really shows a person's true character . . . and you clearly have none.

Why do the "experts" have Cleveland winning in 6 or 7? They've eliminated the Wiz the past 2 years, and this time Gilbert Arenas is nowhere near 100%, and the King is extremely motivated. I will be stunned if this series makes it to game 6.

Could the Eastern Conference 1st round be any worse? It's an absolute lock that all the top seeds will advance. The only thing even remotely interesting, is how big of a scare can the Sixers give the Pistons? I'd rather watch the NHL playoffs . . . almost.

Philadelphia and Atlanta are in the Playoffs, while the Heat are crossing their fingers for a #1 draft pick. That's a statement I never would've anticipated making heading into this season.

Tim Duncan . . . for 3?

Chris Paul is a one man show. There are better scorers, but no one carries their team the way CP3 does. The ball is always in his hands and nothing positive happens, unless he orchestrates it. He's more fun to watch than J-Will in Sacramento, and that's saying a lot.
