Our Look At The NBA Playoffs

by Trevor Freeman

 

 

The time between the end of the NCAA Tournament and the beginning of the NBA playoffs has felt longer than usual, but maybe that is because I cannot remember an NBA postseason that had more riveting subplots.  KG out.  LeBron versus Kobe shaping up as a Finals possibility.  Genuine sleepers led by superstars like Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul sitting on the lower half of the seeding table.  There are tasty first-round matchups up and down the bracket.  With the playoffs gearing up, we decided to wade into the fray and breakdown the postseason.  Without further ado, here is our rankings beginning at sixteen and rolling through to our championship favorite.

By Any Other Name

Here’s the thing about pre-season previews. It’s a time for people to sound off and pass judgment on who will be hot and who will be not. While many craft these learned opinions from years of the kind of experience that I don’t have, I do think that making pre-season predictions about anything past the first month of the regular season is, really, pretty arbitrary.

The Long and Winding Road

As the Jazz training camp begins in beautiful downtown Boise, I’m reminded of a question that’s been in the back of my mind. Looking at this year’s schedule, this team indeed has their work cut out for them.

The Jazz have six extended road trips this season, four of them focused on Eastern conference teams.

If the Jazz hope to break into the playoffs, these trips will be vital to achieve that goal.

Here’s my question: if you had a Kirilenko `freebee,’ where would you spend it?

Let us consider it together:

Utah and Sports

Driving into downtown Salt Lake for the first time after six month in Las Vegas, I saw a Billboard featuring the University of Utah Football team. It boldly claimed “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!” Someone must have had the inside scoop, because earlier this morning, Utah claimed the sixth spot in the BCS rankings. If they can hold it, they’re going to a BCS Bowl. A team that many argued would fall to the bottom of the rankings after the loss of Ron McBride is on its way to proving a lot of people wrong.
