Ha ha ha. Of course San Jose won't choke this year. How could they? They completely dominated the conference. I'll just load up on Sharks for my playoff pool. What could possibly go wrong?

@Ugueth Urbina's Machete: Watch the King ascend his throne with a stonewall of Ovie 7 the rest of the Mayberry USSR squad. Oh, and Marty should be good for the record tonight, as well.
Bill Simmons is editing 18,000 words on why this is going to be the Celtic's greatest playoffs comeback ever. This will include convoluted logic as to why Paul Pierce is one of the top 10 players in the NBA now/ever.
@PermanentInjuredReserve: if they had not won that title last year, both Paul Pierce and (especially) Ray Allen would go down as bigger disappointments for their collective careers than Reggie Miller.
And for the record, I believe Reggie Miller was a stone-cold assassin who belongs in Springfield, but that's just my opinion.
@tater: Tim Donaghy's deplorable actions were those of one rogue official and are not reflective of the high quality of game-fixing that has been happening in the NBA since the mid-90's.

Wait - one game is on Versus (a channel I don't get) and the other one isn't actually on television?
Interesting marketing strategy, Mr. Bettman...

Yeah, nothing important like the 7-seed beating the reigning champs in OT with the ROY-to-be lighting up the faux-Garden.
Nothing to see here.
