Playoff Round Up


David West had career playoff highs of 38 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots, lifting New Orleans to a 101-79 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night and a 3-2 series lead.


Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 16 rebounds, and Rajon Rondo added 20 points and 13 assists as the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 96-89 on Wednesday night to move within a win of the Eastern Conference finals


Bryant scored 26 points, his teammates kept Utah at bay down the stretch, and Los Angeles Lakers extended the stunning home success by NBA teams in the second round of the playoffs, beating the Jazz 111-104 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals


Detroit set an NBA playoff record with just three turnovers and made just enough shots and stops to advance to their sixth straight Eastern Conference final with a 91-86 win Tuesday night over the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of the second-round series.

Richard Hamilton scored 31 points, made victory-sealing free throws late in the game and Tayshaun Prince had a key block to help Detroit eliminate Orlando.

The Pistons are the first franchise to play in six conference finals in a row since the Los Angeles Lakers went to eight straight in the 1980s.

"Now we expect to do this," Hamilton said. "We're supposed to be here."



So the way it's lookin it could be a Detroit vs Boston Eastern Conference final but I wouldn't count Lebron or the Cavs out just yet.
Same way in the West it's lookin like it's gonna be LA vs New Orleans in the final but you never can tell

That's what I love about the playoffs nothing is certain and no team is lookin totally unstoppable either (unlike the Spurs last year) so it's gonna be real interesting. Im hoping for a New Orleans vs Detroit final.
Chris Paul has definately been my favourite player this season and really he should've got MVP but still can't hate on Kobe for gettin it (unless you're Shaq) and Lebron James is still THAT dude really hope the Cavs can take out Boston but they gotta beat them at home.
