Some of these matchups are getting very interesting, even the ones like Washington and Atlanta that doesn't get as much attention are all tied up right now. Harden vs. Westbrook, Cavs sweeping the Pacers, SAS in a tight one against MEM, what is your favorite storyline so far? I think there are a lot of teams these teams were overlooked during the season and there could easily be a team that no one talked about to have a chance to make it to the finals. Do you have a darkhorse team that you think could make it all the way?

I really like him as a coach. I can see the winner of the Wizards Hawks series making the finals if Lebron and Cleveland fall apart.

I hope if Toronto faces the Cavs, Ibaka proves to be the difference from last season to this season that takes them to game 7 as long as Lowry stays healthy.I'm VERY happy Houston won their series but I hope Golden State falls apart without Steve Kerr :P

Wizards just pulled it out against the Hawks to go up 3-2 and the series is going back to Atlanta. I know a lot of people don't watch playoffs until second round or later these games have been so good!!

I have basically watched all the 1st round games. Damn it takes time with so many games every day :D
Cavs pick and roll defense and secondary rotations have been pretty bad even though they swept Pacers. They changed to switching everything, but I think if John Wall or Lowry have a good series they can really tear apart the Cavs. Although I wish Bucks would still beat Raptors. Giannis Lebron battle would be sweet. But in the end Lebron probably can't save Cavs by himself this year. Too many weaknesses in defense.
West is tight but can't really imagine Spurs losing 4 times to Rockets in next round. Will be interesting series for sure. And Warriors will beat easily either Jazz or Clippers.

You think Raptors have a shot against the Cavs this year? I would imagine this is the year if any. I only watched parts of the Cavs-Pacers series, and I agree, they looked spotty. Other than that one atrocious game, the Raptors have looked... alright against the Bucks. I still don't think we have a shot against the Cavs but that's more of my fear of all things related to playoff LeBron.

I couldn't have imagined the spurs losing four to Houston either but that was before they looked to struggle against a mediocre Memphis team... guess it remained to be seen whether it was fueled and spurred by Fiz's his rant or the spurs just aren't as good as everyone thought.

I think they have a chance, if they can play on their best level and keep it together mentally from the start. Playoff Lebron PTSD is a real disease :D Just for the mental aspect I think the Wizards actually could have good chance to get to finals. Their starting 5 also matches really well against the Cavs but doesn't have the mental Lebron monkey in the back like BOS and TOR.

Is Washington the best team in the East? John Wall is looking like an MVP.

Wiz keep racing out to these big leads and then getting chipped away, so weird. Gortat seems lost half the game and en pointe for the rest of the game. Wonder what Wall could be doing with a big than can consistently run the pnr, nerlens noel?!

Steve is probably salivating with Brown's performance tonight fun fact: Jaylen Brown is the only player who has played more than 10 minutes this game to have a positive +/- in this game.
