The Separation Begins
April 27th, 2010 by Ty
I made the bold prediction that the toughest series was going to be the Magic/Bobcats matchup. I remember my friend, Chaiwala, laughing and i tried justifying my prediction. I look back now and feel totally dumb after watching the promising Bobcats fail to record even a win against the Magic who took this series in 4 games in convincing fashion. The Magic defeated the Bobcats by an average of 9pts per game and just seemed to be overpowered on both offense and defense despite the fact that Howard fouled out in 2 out of the 4 games, hence earning him the nickname ‘foul on me’.
Now the stage is set for the 4 games tonight. 3 of the teams; Miami, Chicago and surprisingly Dallas…….. Yes Dallas, have to win or go fishing, golfing or whatever else you do after your season is done. So we just have to wait and see if the separation continues tonight with more teams getting knocked off or if the series can be extended for another game as teams battle to get to the next round.
The final game of the night is the one game that is captivating the imagination of many in the world of NBA basketball. The coming of age of the young OKC Thunder team seems to be happening before our eyes, or it could just be an aberration or the veteran Lakers team working themselves back into shape for an actual run at a repeat.
Tonight we will see what the fate of teams whose playoff lives hang in the balance and also be watching closely as we determine if the OKC Thunder are for real, we might just be watching another version of the 06/07 Golden State Warriors who beat the number 1 seeded Mavericks.
