It's Been Quite a Surprising 1st Round of the Playoffs !!!

The San Antonio Spurs have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble with the Memphis Grizzlies.  The Grizzlies lead the series 3-1 & absolutely must win the next 3 games to advance in the playoffs.  This will not be easy since the game after tonight's game 5 in San Antonio will go back to Memphis for Game 6. 

Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets also find themselves in an elimination game on Thursday vs. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.  The series has been a close one so far with the Lakers only up 3-2 & the next game being played in New Orleans.

Lebron James & the Miami Heat need to win tonights game 5 on their home-court in Miami so they can finally knock the Sixers out of the Post-Season & begin preparing for their next playoff opponent: the Boston Celtics- who just finished sweeping the New York Knicks 4-0.

The Chicago Bulls are moving-on in the playoffs after defeating the Pacers in 5 games.  The Orlando Magic are having some troubles in the 1st Round & they really have to buckle-down & win the next 2 games vs the Atlanta Hawks if they have any hope in moving-on in the Playoffs this season.
