PLAYOFFS, BABY, PLAYOFFS!!!! (NBA, that is)

[itvnetop]

We've got better offensive starting 5, but the cavs have a deeper bench with jones, marshall, and varejao (sp?). We've been pretty good containing Lebron this season, but I have a feeling he's going to step his game up in his first playoff series. I think the post play is a wash- Z has an advantage over Haywood/Etan, but 'Twan abuses Gooden offensively. Daniels will have to come up defensively, as I believe he'll be D'ing up hughes quite a bit. Butler is proving to be the steal of the century- locking him up long-term was a very smart move by EG.

This may be the most exciting (and balanced) matchup of the first round.
