NBA Playoffs Round 1 Conclusion

The first round of the NBA playoffs ended yesterday. And while we had 6 games 6's, only one of those went to Game 7. So let's get the final tallies of each game and then we're off to Round 2. 

Game 6

Nets-95                                                               Nuggets-88
Bulls-92                                                               Warriors-92

Knicks-88                                                           Clippers-105    
Celtics-80                                                            Grizzlies-118

Pacers-81                                                            Thunder-103 
Hawks-73                                                            Rockets-94

Game 7

Bulls-99
Nets-93

So the Warriors, Knicks, Grizzlies, Thunder, Pacers, and Bulls have all now advanced. Here are the Round 2 matchups. 

Bulls vs Heat                    Grizzlies vs Thunder
Pacers bs Knicks             Warriors vs Spurs

After seeing how the first round played out, Heat and Spurs go some much needed rest. And I think both those teams will meet in the Finals. 

In other news, Orb won the 139th Kentucky Derby. LeBron James has won his 4th MVP award, missing only 1 vote to be unanimous. Only other person to be off 1 vote was Shaquille O'Neal. The NHL Playoffs are in full swing, but because they are off schedule with the NBA Playoffs, I won't get into the details.
