A Casual Fan's Perspective On The NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs In 2010
The 2010 NBA playoffs have had their moments of highs and lows. Here is a quick look at everything that has gone down in the Eastern Conference bracket.
The Orlando Magic played the Charlotte Bobcats, in what was the Bobcats' first playoff series ever. I was pulling for the Bobcats in this one as they have a lot of likeable players. The Magic came out on a mission, however, and it was never really close. The Magic swept this series with a mission to return to the Finals.
The Chicago Bulls faced off against the number one seed, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Everyone had high expectations for this years Cavs, as it was potentially Lebron James' last year in Cleveland. Lebron and the Cavs took care of business and beat the Bulls in 5 games, 4-1.
Dwane Wade and his Miami Heat faced the veteran Boston Celtics in a rather boring series. Wade just doesn't have the talent around him to make any serious noise. The Celtics beat the Heat without much of a problem. I wish Wade weren't so loyal because he has the potential to be one of the greats if he were on a championship caliber team.
The Hawks and the Bucks was oddly enough, the only interesting series. Every game felt like a game 7 in this one. Fittingly, it went to game 7. The Hawks won; this was their NBA finals, because we would not see them again.
Round 2 gave way to some lackluster matchups. The Magic plowed through the Hawks in 4 games straight by a record setting margin of points. It was never close.
On the other side of the bracket, the Cavs faced the Celtics. Everyone thought the Celtics were too beat up, too old and that Lebron was too good for the Celtics to take this one. In an absolute shocker, the Celtics took this one in 6 games and quite possibly ended James' reign in Cleveland.
Now the Eastern Conference finals are going on and it looks like it is all but over. The Magic managed to win the last one to make it go to five games, but it seems like the Celtics are destined to get back to the finals. - 2361
