With the second round of the NBA Postseason well under way, the Lakers played against the Thunder... okay, not really "played" so much as "showed up." This was the first game between the two and man, did the Lakers take a pounding. It seemed like forever since the Thunder last played a game but they did not look rusty at all. After already leading 15 at half time, the Thunder didn't quit when the 3rd quarter came around and still showed the Lakers no mercy going up by another 15 points when the quarter ended. The Thunder won, obviously, 119-90. The Lakers suffered a nearly 30 point blowout. The Thunder are just too good for the Lakers right now.
As for the rest of the postseason out there, the Celtics lost game 2 of their series with the 76ers, 82-81. A costly illegal screen by Kevin Garnett might've cost the Celtics this one at the end but the first two games between these two have shown that this series is going to be close. It's tied at 1-1. Meanwhile, Chris Bosh is out indefinitely with an abdominal strain suffered in the Heat's game 1 victory of the Pacers. He is expected the miss this entire series. Not to fear, Miami. You still have Dwayne Wade and LeBron James to lead you. Sure, Bosh's absence might extend the series but it will not cost Miami a seat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Bosh, though, might be really needed for that.
Anyway, tonight proves to have a couple of good NBA playoff games as the Pacers and Heat square for game two and then the Clippers start a series with the Spurs in San Antonio. How far can the Clippers go?
