With one game left in the first round of
this year’s playoffs, there has been one upset. This was the 76ers. The 8th
seed in the East beating the 1st seed Chicago Bulls. They won the
series 4-2 after former MVP and Bulls talisman Derrick Rose tore the ACL in his
left knee.

I predicted that the Nuggets would overcome
the Lakers, as of last night I still thought that they would but a 96-87
victory for LA made sure they would go on to face Oklahoma City who have had
the longest rest of all in the West Semis.
Miami got through their series against the
New York Knicks in 5 games after the Knicks won their first playoff game in 11
years. An average of 28 points a game from LeBron James and 21 from Dwyane Wade
was enough to see of the Knicks who will be looking to win at least 4 playoff
games next year.
Indiana won their first round series
against a very jaded discombobulated Orlando Magic team with ease. 4 games to 1
it ended up, Indiana looked very strong and they will prove more than a match
for the Big Three starting tonight in Florida.
Boston took a 1 nil lead last night against
Phillie after Rajon Rondo continued his incredible season by recording another
triple-double. San Antonio are still awaiting their second round opponents, but
they will find out tonight as the LA Clippers go to Memphis to take on the
Grizzlies and Marc Gasol in what promises to be a brilliant Game 7.
Aside from the Playoffs the 2012 MVP was
given to LeBron James for the third time in four seasons. LeBron reminded
everybody that he is the best player in the league through the 66 regular
season games where he averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists and
leading Miami to the 2nd seed in the East with 46 wins. The only
thing he needs now to really prove the masses wrong and write his name into the
Hall of Fame is a championship ring come June 26th.
Can he and Dwyane Wade overcome three more
squads to get what they were brought together to do?
