Playoffs 2010

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted anything, and too much has happened in the time span. With the blink of an eye, we're now about to start the 2010 NBA Playoffs, where amazing happens. Here's a look at somethings you should watch for in the coming days of the First Round.

Derrick Rose vs. Cleveland

Like last year, the first pick in the 2008 Draft has led his team into the Playoffs and into the path of a dangerous title contender, this time none other than the Cleveland Cavaliers. We've seen a lot of improvement by Rose since last year, as shown by his All-Star nod, but does he really have what it takes to take the Bulls into the next round? Probably not, but the series is gonna be great, with things like Joakim Noah's intensity and Lebron's dancing to keep us entertained.

Wade vs. Boston

Boston doesn't want to believe that they may not have what it takes to still be a contender. D-Wade wants to win. Both the Celtics and Wade have chips on their shoulders, and they sure don't want to go away without a fight. Boston has given us some of the better First Round series in recent years (vs. Atlanta in 2008, vs. Chicago in 2009) so make sure you watch this matchup.

OKC vs. LA

Kevin Durant vs. Kobe Bryant. Scott Brooks vs. Phil Jackson. Young and inexperienced vs. proven veterans. That's the obvious storyline in this series, but what about Ron Artest vs. Trevor Ariza? Even though Ariza won't be playing, seeing that he's on Houston, most of us want Ron Ron to prove that he's worth more than Ariza come Playoff time. Artest hasn't done too much for the Lakers this year, so he's gotta show that he's actually better for the team to have.

San Antonio vs. Dallas

Everything is bigger in Texas, and this series shouldn't be different. With the two teams both from the Lone Star State and both having something to prove (Spurs, that they are still relevant, and Mavs, that they can get back to the Finals after what happened in '06 and '07), this series should be a really entertaining one to follow.
