2009 NBA Playoffs Thread

Interesting note on Bulls/Celtics..

One of the most watched series ever

ESPN..

Game 7 of the Chicago Bulls-Boston Celtics series has supplanted Game 6 as the most-watched first-round NBA playoff game ever on cable.

TNT says Boston's 109-99 win Saturday to end the exhilarating series was seen by 6.99 million people. That was the most viewers for a first-round game on broadcast or cable since the 2004 Lakers-Rockets Game 4 on ABC.

The Bulls' 128-127 triple-overtime victory in Game 6 on Thursday was seen by 5.35 million people.

Playoff power rankings so far for fun of it (5-5-09)

1. Cleveland (Looking like dominate cinch for EC title)
2. Denver (Hot at right time, well coached, talented, deep team)
3. Orlando (Imagine if Nelson was not missing at the point)
4. Houston (Yaozaa! Could it somehow be, maybe, Adelman's big revenge!)
5. Los Angeles (If they don't even it up 1-1, 9-1-1 in LaLa land)
6. Boston (Imagine if Garnet was not missing at center)
7. Atlanta (Nice little playoff run last year and once again - but not enough)
8. Dallas (Might get one at home, but I rather doubt it)

(subject to change every couple of days as series play out)

Agree with all except I would switch Orlando and Houston since the Celtics are missing KG and LA is generally healthy
