Your NBA Playoffs Open Thread
Two second-round NBA Game Twos to watch this evening: Celtics-Heat at 7, and Grizz-Thunder at 9:30, both on TNT.
The Celtics, down in the series, will be trying to put even one bullet in the head of LeBronsama bin James. But the Celtics are probably more worried about Dwyane Wade, who scored 38 on 14-21 from the field in Game One. Maybe even James Jones, who put up 25 points in 28 minutes.
Then Z-Bo, once Pete Best to Brandon Roy's Portland Trail Blazers, will lead his merry band of grizzly bears into the Thunderdome, with one game already at hand. He might continue to beat Serge Ibaka like a drum, while Marc Gasol does the same thing to Our Friend Perk. Or maybe the other midwestern upstarts will have figured things out.
