Some Thoughts About the Playoff So Far

It is two games into the 1st rounds. Here are some thoughts:

1. The Bobcats have been pretty impressive, but they are not gonna make it past the Heats. Especially when Big Al is hurt. It is gonna be a sweep.

2. LaMarcus Aldridge is killing it. I am fan of the Trailblazers now because of him. (Originally drafted by the Bulls with the 2nd pick but the Bulls traded him to Portland for...Tyrus Thomas...Potential/Upside is a really misleading indicator)

3. While I am really upset to see the Bulls lost both of the home games, I am extremely happy to see the Rockets went 0-2 as well.

4. James Harden is overrated. Better suited for a sixth-man role on the Thunders bench. I liked him more when he was the sidekick of KD and Westbrook.

5. The Spurs-Mavs series is gonna be a 7-game series. The Mavs have done a very good job controlling the tempo of the game.

6. I would like to see the Clippers lose. Really don't appreciate Paul's ball-dominant way of play and Griffin's ugly post game (or lack thereof).

7. Plus, DeAndre Jordan being so cocky is a head-scratcher to me. He is nothing more than a Hasheem Thabeet without Chris Paul. It is a complement because Thabeet is a former 2nd pick, after all.

8. This is so hard to swallow, but the Bulls are gonna lose the series to uprising Wizards. To be honest, I really like Wizard's combination of veteran presence and vigor.

9. The Pacers is a big question mark. Which one is the real Pacers? The one who lost to the Hawks in a ugly fashion in GM1 or the one who dominated the Hawks during the 3rd quarter of GM2?

10. Well-deserved DOY and COY for Joakim Noah and Coach Popovich.
