The NBA's second season (better known as the playoffs) is about to start. Finally. After 80 games, a new presidency, and twitter becoming the in thing (which given my advancing age I'm happy to be curmudgeony about) , the NBA regular season has basically rapped up.
At the start of the season the Celtics were the team to beat. Remember mid-December when the Celtics were 27-2 and everyone was wondering if they'd ever lose again? Remember Garnett's trash talking? Remember how they would play the BeeGees "You Should Be Dancing during home blow outs (talk about adding insult to injury)? Well the shoe is on the other foot now...
Last night (or earlier this afternoon depending on one's time frame) the Celtics were crushed by 31, Ray Allan decided to go all classy and do a nut punch on Sideshow Bob, and it was the Cavs that celebrated with music (with the timeless Rick Astley hit..oh yes Boston you were Rick Rolled ) . What does this mean?
Well who knows what David Stern will demand for the championship BUT there are essentially 4 teams vying for the NBA championship...the Cavs, the Lakers, the Celtics, and the Magic. All of have question marks but less so than other teams in the second season.....
