We had a lively discussion about the long weekend and the easing of restrictions starting tomorrow. This pandemic and constant messing with our lives and freedoms has taken its toll. It will be nice when life will feel much more normal again. We were on the heels of the opening weekend of NBA playoffs as all eight series got under way. We were excited to breakdown the opening games of every matchup. There were some upsets and tight games and it was fun to break them down. In NBA history in 7 game series the winner of the opening game has gone on to win 76% of the time so it has proven to be very important to get off to a good start.
The #1 seed in the west the Utah Jazz were upset by the #8 seed Memphis Grizzlies but the late scratch of Donavan Mitchell was tough on the Jazz. Even though the Phoenix Suns are the #2 seed in the West a lot of pundits predicted the #7 seed Lakers are going to win this series. So when the Suns won game one many were calling it an upset. The #3 seed Denver Nuggets lost to the #6 seed Portland Trailblazers as the guard matchup is so one sided for the Blazers as Jamal Murray will not play this postseason for Denver. Dallas Mavericks won as Luka Doncic had a 30 point triple double to lead the way for their mini upset in the #4 VS #5 Matchup they have against the LA Clippers .
In the East #1 is the Philadelphia 76ers who dominated the Washington Wizards with the great scoring from Tobias Harris and Joel Embid and great game from Ben Simmons. The amazing backcourt of Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal didn't have enough to overcome the depth of Philly. The Brooklyn Nets are the #2 seed and their big three of James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving scored or assisted on 98 of 104 total points in their victory over Boston. The #3 Milwaukee Bucks outlasted the Miami Heat in overtime. Both teams struggled to score but Kris Middleton was good and hit the winning bucket. Madison Square Garden was the host to a playoff game for the first time in years and it was rocking. Trae Young was electric and silenced the boisterous crowd with his winning shot in the final seconds as the Atlanta Hawks beat the New York Knicks. The playoffs continue and will be fun to watch.
The NFL had trade requests and news on some disgruntled QB's that we mentioned briefly.
The UFC held a Vegas 27 card and we had fun discussing the fights and breaking them down. The Main event was Rob Font facing Cody Garbrandt and it was a one sided match.
