Da Bulls! Da Bulls! Da Bears! I Mean Bulls!

The playoffs have just started and there have been enough surprises from underdogs like The Bulls, 76ers and the Mavericks, but first how about a little Raptors talk?

Bryan Colangelo is being his usual smart self and is planning to give Toronto's Franchise Player, Chris Bosh, an offer to stay around for a little longer. The good thing about this is that Chris Bosh is not looking to be traded from Toronto and wants to be part of the solution around Hogtown instead of a problem. Seeing our second best franchise player leave would be devastating. Next thing you know we are back in the Araujo Era!

Next thing Colangelo need to do is sign Triano as the head coach and he is in a good path to winning.

DA Bulls
They surprised everybody by beating the Garnett-less Boston Celtics by 2 points with a 36 point performance by the rookie Derrick Rose. This just shows you that it isn't the Celtics defensive coaches that won them the title last year, but instead having Kevin Garnett play 40 minutes of tough basketball every night. The second game was barely won by the Celtics with a clutch 3 pointer by none other than Ray Allen. This series will probably go into the 7th game, but it's something the Celtics can afford to do like last year. I have a feeling that the Bulls could take it, it would make Chuck Swirsky the happiest man in Chicago.
Note: Celtics didn't loose any game at home last playoffs


We Want Tacos!
The Lakers were just toying with the Jazz in the first game having control all game. The amount of talent in the Lakers is just unbelievable. The one thing that made me upset was the fact that the Laker fans were yelling for tacos at the end of the game with 30ish seconds left when the Jazz had 98 points. Apparently they all get free tacos when the away team scores less than 100; however, Deron Williams got a steal and a bucket to shut them all up.

Personification of Domination
Just like the Lakers are dominating the Jazz, the Cavaliers are dominating the Pistons. High amount of unemployment and a crappy basketball team! It must be a terrible time to live in the Motor city.

Only the Good Die Young
Disappointing start in the playoffs for the Blazers. I thought that with all the talent in that that team, they would have no problem against the Rockets. Well my thought was wrong. The Rockets had a blow out win because of the veteran experience that Yao Ming, Artest and Luis Scola brought. That Aaron Brooks kid was also not too shabby.

No Heat
The Hawks dominated against the Heat. Both Wade and Chalmers just chucked the ball all game long and didn't play defence. This series could quite quickly. The Heat were bad like a Jamario Moon three pointer.

The Red Rocket! Plus Game I didn't really watch.
I didn't watch the Spurs vs Mavericks games, but all I know is that the former Raptor Matt Bonner is shooting lights out. 5-5 from the field to get 13 points(3-3 from beyond the arc).

The Nuggets came out strong in their first game with an impressive performance from Billups from what I've heard. The Pistons are kicking themselves for trading him for Iverson.

Finally the game I only saw until the third quarter was the 76ers vs Magic. When I turned the television of the score was 79-65 for the Magic and I thought that the game was pretty much done; however, that's just when the game started. The 76ers had an impressive 35 point 4th quarter thanks to Igoudala, Miller and Williams. 76ers ended the game with a buzzer beater 100-98. Former Raptor, Donyell Marshall, also put up 11 points coming off the bench. Meanwhile the Magic bench got 13 points all together. I thought the Magic would have had a terrible season with their terrible bench.

Well stay tuned as there is still a month or so of playoff basketball left.
