The NBA Playoffs is one of my favorite sporting events in the year. There are 8 series in the first round, and 6 are already complete. The only series left are the Lakers-Nuggets, which is going to game 7, and Clippers-Grizzlies which is going into game 6, with the Clippers leading the series 3-2. The defending champions Mavericks were swept by the Thunder, and the Jazz were swept by the Spurs. The Heat-Knicks series, and the Magic-Pacers series both went to 5 games which sent the Knicks and Magic headed home. The 8th seeded 76ers defeated the injury plagued #1 seed Bulls in 6 games, which is only the 5th time in history that an 8 has upset a 1. Also, the Celtics-Hawks series went to 6 games were the Celtics were victorious at home.
