Took Charlotte +135 and Boston +150 for the series. Think both of those series are basically toss ups.

Nothing brings the fans out quite like some solid college basketball. The environment is unrivaled when bubble teams/tourney teams/Power 5 teams are playing.

This crowd makes Hilton look like a joke.

Once again Toronto is proving the season basically ended for them on Wed. Wouldn't be a nba playoffs without a Raptors choke job.

Impressive 2nd half by Paul George.

I'm not a rockets fan or a warriors hater by any means but dang, they are getting some beneficial officiating.

Beverly would have been fine if he would have shut his trap. That's what got the tech. Didn't see it live, just watched the espn highlight. Did they change anything?

It was a double technical on Beverly and Curry. I'm guessing the best rockets don't mind that much.

Thanks. Seems fair. On the highlight I watched, just said they were going to look at the monitor.

They have been all year. Tiresome. The Twolves somehow managed to beat them with some total crap calls.

likely the most boring first round in a long time. Most series should be blowouts besides 2 or 3 in the East

Good call, at least so far. Six of the eight games over the weekend were blowouts. Hawks/Celts looks like it might be a good one and I still have some hope for the Blazers and Clips as long as Portland can protect their home floor, but other than that the first round is a snooze. Warriors/Rockets could get interesting if Curry misses any time.

I think Detroit-Cleveland will be interesting. Don't think the Pistons will win but I do think they'll steal a game or two and play the Cavs tough. Bradley going down is a tough break for Boston. He's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

If both teams get out of the first round, Indy and Cleveland could be a pretty good matchup in the conference semis. I'd take the Cavs if I had to pick but PG is a hell of a good player and Vogel is getting everything he can out of an oddball roster.

No doubt, I've always thought he was a very solid defensive coach, but what he's got out of that roster the last two years have really impressed me. He's made Ian Mahinmi a legit starting center.
