NBA Playoffs

The playoffs have been really good this year. The Celtics/Bulls series was among the best of all time with the exception of the last game which was a let down. Last night the Cavs/Magic game was just outstanding. The Magic came from way behind to tie and take the lead in the fourth.

The last five minutes was some of the best basketball I've seen in a long time. The Magic pulled it out after lots of clutch shooting but the Cavs had a chance when Mo Williams caught a jump ball in mid air and shot with one second left, it banked off of the rim but wow if it would have gone in that would have been a very Jordanesqe shot.

The Lakers/Nuggets game was also down to a couple of points in the end. Denver had plenty of missed opportunity from the line, if they would have converted a bit better I don't know if the Lakers would have held onto homecourt advantage.

The NBA really wants a LeBron/Kobe match up in the Finals, I'd like to see that as well. Not sure if the Magic and the Nuggets aren't the best teams though.
