Lackluster first round

[windward]

Does anyone recall a first round that's been so one-sided?all the series except the heat/hornets were finished in four or five games. What gives?

Last year, the first round matchups were, IMO much more competitive. We had Mavs/Blazers Pistons/Magic Spurs/Suns and T-wolves/Lakers

Those series were somewhat competitive last year. Mavs/Kings was the most exciting series thus far, and it finished in 5 games!

Oh well, here's hoping the conference semis will be a little more exciting....

Yeah, the first round wasn't that great. This Round 2 is when the action starts. :D Let's go Lakers!!!! Man, i wish the kings and wolves could both somehow lose to each other. Whoever wins the Lakers/Spurs matchup, i'll be rooting to beat the Wolves or Kings. BTW, the Heat Series with the Hornets is by far one of the best series i've seen in the east. Maybe since the Heat/Knicks series. Let's go Heat. I love Wade, Odom, Jones and Butler's games. Not to mention BIG SKIP (to my lou) :D

round 2 will be much more competitive.

lakers/spurs could go 7 games, and wolves/kings is gonna be real fun to watch.

What's longer? The NBA regular season or that Heat/Hornets series. Geez.

lakers from 0-2 to 4-2
