This first round has been incredible so far. We really should be talking about it more.

He's ok. Now the Heat really need to win tonight, though.

Agreed. The Western Conference in particular has been bananas.

Guys, the Hawks are the better team in that series, they have outplayed the pacers soundly and the series should be over already if it weren't for some poor play in 2.5 quarters by the Hawks.

This is a bad matchup for the Pacers and they probably got too much hype to begin with.

All credit to Mike Silver dropping said hammer. That said, what's he got 20 years tops?

Lawsuits filed in 321

This was a good way to announce yourself as a commish. Interestingly enough, this works out REALLY well for Magic Johnson all the way around.... come on NBA conspiracy theorists.

seriously, no one misses Donald Sterling. Now the Clippers can have hot water in the locker room.

The Clippers are going to sell for > $1 billion.

Right, but in the past basketball has been viewed as a lesser value.

I wonder if a new owner would consider them moving to a new market.

I've watched more Wizards games this year since Gilbert Arenas was playing with the team. I'm not much of an NBA fan, used to be, but my interest has faded over the years, but watching the Wizards (god I hate that name) has been kinda fun (doesn't hurt that their 6th man is a Clemson fella). I think this is just the third time in franchise history, that the team has made it this far. Good for them, and looking forward to watching them more in the playoffs.

Good young nucleus. I think they will be in the thick of it for years to come. They need to get a new coach though.

Good lord, how evenly matched is the Grizzlies/Thunder series? 4 OT's in a row. All thrilling.

Tony Allen is KD's kryptonite so far, but I still wonder if Memphis can close this thing out. Oh, and Scott Brooks is awful.

Westbrook jacking 30+ shots a game is not the way to go. Memphis a tough matchup for the Thunder. Perkins plays a lot of minutes which allows Gasol to be a free safety in the post on defense. Limits the Thunder's ability to get to the basket.

Tony Allen is incredibly entertaining to watch. More please.
