The playoff schedule has been posted.

Why the fuck are we going to take 3 weeks to get through the first round again? If one of the series' goes 7 games, We will not start the second round until 8-9 MAY!!!!!!

Clevelands game 7 is on May 6th!!!!

3 weeks for a series is BS. I thought this was publicly scrutinized last year?

If this is what happens for now on in the multigame format, then they need to go back to a 5 gamer or the 2-3-2 format.

I disagree. I think if they're gonna let half the league into the postseason, they need to have seven-game series from the start to make sure the best teams are getting through. Personally, I enjoy the protracted first round. I like watching the games, and I like the fact that they don't play two games simultaneously, and I like the fact that there's a playoff game on virtually every night.

I am very surprised to see Golden State is up by 5 in the 4th quarter.

Shouldn't be too big a surprise. The Warriors have Dallas's number. After the way Don Nelson was dismissed from Dallas a few years back, it'd be very poetic to see him eliminate the team he built.

Overall the playoffs are shaping up to have some nice first round series...

I really think Denver is going to give SA all they want and then some...

Also believe that GS could give Dallas a run for their money, much like LA did to PHX last year...

I think that Utah/Houston series is going to be a fun one to watch and will probably end up going 7...

As for the East there were way to many fouls called in that Chi/Miami game, and I really think that Chicago could win this series...

Also watch out for NJ as they will give Toronto all they want in that series...

As a Rockets and Cavs fan, this could shape up to be a good postseason. While I'm not much of an NBA fan, I always like at least channel-surfing through the NBA playoffs. It'd be cool to see the Cavs and Rockets in the Finals, but I'm not kidding myself, it won't happen. I've always been a Rockets fan, but since LeBron came into the league, it's kind of changed.

If neither of them work out, I'd like to see Nash and the Suns win the NBA title.

With that being said, I see the Suns beating the Bulls in a '93 NBA Finals re-match, 4-2.

Jameer Nelson is terrible. Brian Hill might be the worst coach in the history of the NBA. I think the Pistons laugh at us attempt to run our offense and zone D. Dwight decides whether or not he wants to show up for games.

Grant played his heart out tonight. If we can get Carlos to run the point and not Jameer, we can win some games.

T-Mac is probably the second best offensive player in the game after Kobe. He's just ridiculously talented. That double clutch drive between two defenders was freaking amazing.
Not only that, but he loves to step up. He loves having ball the in hands. I know it get says a lot, but this is really true regarding him. I cannot tell you how many times when he played here, he would come down and answer the opposing teams three with a pull up three of his own. He wants the ball and knows what to do with it. Regarding this series with Utah, he said, "if we don't get out of the first round it is on me." The reporter said , "wait", and before he could finish, Tracy repeated it. And he didn't mean it a cocky way, he just understood he needs to step up. Rather than say, he wants the ball in hands like everyone else says, he actual said something he really believes. Good for him.
