Midweek into the 2012 NBA Playoffs and this blog has been spot on so far in its predictions (hopes, & dreams). I wrote it would take a ton of shite to not see the Bulls, Heat and Celts in the East’s final four, and Rose going down and out with a torn ACL is about a big a shit going down as this dude. Boston’s teetering with Atlanta mainly because of Ray Allen’s glass ankles, and Rondo’s chest bump. Had The Truth not gone HAM in Game 2, they could’ve been facing an 0-2 deficit. But, with Rondo back for Game 3, my crystal bong’s predictions should hold (unless LeBron tears his scrotal ligament, which should happen between late May & June). Are you all ready to see the Pacers in the ECF?? Yea, I don’t give a shit either. Unless The Truth can keep Tebowing until late May, there’s little doubt the Heat will see the Finals for the second straight year.
West. Let’s see…spot on as well. Spurs in a cakewalk, Clips-Grizz fun as hell. Lakers too much for Nuggs, and Dallas only intriguing because they’re the defending champs. Because Durant did KD like things at the end of Game 1, and Dirk’s one legged fade rattled out in Game 2, the Mavs are now on the verge of being in the elite club of defending champions being swept out of the 1st round (I’m too lazy to Google the numbers, but feel free to chime in at the comments section).

So what do we know after close to a week of action? We know a LAL-OKC second round is inevitable (and horrifying to Laker fans). We know that the Spurs and whoever wins in the “Grit & Grind Crew” vs. “Lob City” series will really challenge, if not beat the Spurs (I’m thinking the Grizz beat them, while the Clips challenge them).

What don’t we know? We don’t know how the rest of the Grizz-Clips series will go. I mean, if you open the series with a 27-point comeback win that allows an incoming college freshman to bet $75 and win $41,000 as a result, you’re in for a whole lot of craziness. We don’t know how many games the Nuggets can win at home. As a Laker fan, I hope they win two games so that World Peace’s atomic elbow will only miss one game in the second round. Although realistically, I see them going out in five.

The East has become incredibly boring with the absence of two Adidas stars due to injuries, and the hopes and dreams of everyone hoping for a fun and competitive NYK-Heat series going up in flames, absolutely no pun intended Amare.    

The West is still as crazy as the 11-team playoff race it was leading up to the playoffs. So what does this blog want? Easy: Purple Reign, and LeBron being LeBron. Not only will those things be incredibly fun on Facebook, it will make this blog entertaining.

Good luck to us all.
