The NBA Playoffs

The conference finals have begun and the Lakers and the Nets have taken the early leads in their respective series. With the Kings losing Peja Stojakovic for at least 2 games, it looks like the Lakers have this one again. Their reserves really have to step up to pick up the slack, especially Turkoglu. On the other side of the fence, the Nets have one up on the Celts, but I have a strong feeling that the guys in green will be able to squeak by this one.

With 80s retro coming back in style, I think the NBA Finals will be following suit. A Lakers-Celtics finals, although most likely one-sided in LA’s favor, will be pretty interesting to watch. It surely won’t be the spectacle it was during the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird era, but it will have some interesting match-ups.
