It's official. The NBA regular season 09-10 is now over after last night's wrap up of games. LET THE PLAYOFFS BEGIN!
So it's not the Raptors and familiar foe Hedo Turkoglu that we'll be seeing first round this year, or any round for that matter haha, but Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls (oooooh, scaaarrrry). Chicago won out their last few games and closed the door on Toronto, just barely making it into that 8th and final playoff spot, only to have their celebration cut short by the 1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers. Oh, too bad, so sad Chicago :( The first game will be THIS SATURDAY at 3PM on ABC in C-Town. CANNOT WAIT!
In all honesty though, I think I would have rather faced Toronto because they are much softer and barely ever play defense. Chicago on the other hand is pretty gritty and won't just lay down and let the Cavs walk all over them. Maybe we sweep them, maybe it goes 5 or 6 games, but what's certain is that no amount of Derrick Rose or Joakim Noah can stop the Cavs and the new and improved Shaq-Diesel.
The playoff matchups per conference go as follows:
Eastern Conference
(1)Cleveland vs. (8)Chicago
(2)Orlando vs. (7)Charlotte
(3)Atlanta vs. (6)Milwaukee
(4)Boston vs. (5)Miami - I REALLY want to see this series play out
Western Conference
(1)Los Angeles vs. (8)Oklahoma City
(2)Dallas vs. (7)San Antonio
(3)Phoenix vs. (6)Portland
(4)Denver vs. (5)Utah
All of these West matchups are unreal and could honestly go either way, so there may be an upset alert on the horizon out West

Lets go CAVS!!
