A few notes about the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
A few notes about the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
- Miami and San Antonio still look unbeatable (both have 2-0 leads in their series).
- Phoenix also looks tough, with newly named MVP Steve Nash. Amare Stoudemire must have the most number of dunks ever in one season thanks to Nash. It'll be fun to see Phoenix versus San Antonio in a seven game series. They have contrasting styles - the Suns like to run and gun and the Spurs are primarily a defensive, half-court oriented team.
- The Detroit/Indiana matchup will probably be the best series of the 2nd round. This is a matchup of the two teams involved in the brawl back in November. I doubt there will be any fights this time around, but the Pacers are still feeling the effects of that incident. Ron Artest, who was suspended for the season, was a major part of the Pacers team and he may have made the difference between an NBA Finals team and a 2nd round-and-out team.
