The NBA Playoffs continue tonight! Here’s the slate:

Orlando Magic @ Boston Celtics – 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET

  • Boston leads the series 1-0
  • As of this writing, Jayson Tatum is a game-time decision.

Miami Heat @ Cleveland Cavaliers – 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET

  • Cavs lead the series 1-0
  • Davion Mitchell is actually starting to look like an NBA player, but who needs a point guard?

Golden State Warriors @ Houston Rockets – 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET

  • GSW leads the series 1-0
  • I am personally rooting for both teams to lose.

Seems tiring. I hope that the players are getting paid extra.

Miami v. Cavs – I like both teams (esp. Off Night), I would be surprised if Cleveland loses at home. 4-0/4-1 expected.
Boston is the East Conf. favorite, I expect that series to wrap up quickly as well.

Much like the bounce back of LAL, Houston should be shooting better and defending better.

I will again add, and likely not for the last time – I have no idea how these series are being officiated. It almost seems random, rough play followed by touch fouls. Moving screens galore. And the taunting in some of these games is begging for a donnybrook.

Playoff basketball…. sigh. I remember this once…
