The playoffs have begun, and here is Sports Illustrated's bracket. The Celtics, who miraculously got the #1 seed rather than the Cavilers, lost Game 1 to the Bulls, after Isaiah Thomas' sister died in a car crash. The Cavilers just barely got by the Pacers in Game 1 by a score of 109-108, and will play Indiana in Game 2 tonight. Honestly, I hope Indiana wins, because they never win, and I don't like LeBron. He's too cocky and wins too much. #6 Milwaukee stunned Toronto in a blowout win of 97-83. John Wall's Wizards beat the Hawks 114-107. I like the Wizards, I hope they go far,(unless they face the Celtics). In the West, the Spurs slammed the Grizzlies 111-83. If the Warriors don't make it to the Finals, it will be the Spurs. The Jazz beat the Clippers, who always lose early in the playoffs, on a buzzer beater, which you can see here. http://www.nba.com/video/2017/04/15/0041600171-uta-lac-play19
I don't think I need to tell you who won the Warriors-Blazers game. The last Game One was the most anticipated: Russel Westbrook, who is having a historic season with his record setting 42 triple-doubles, and the Thunder versus MVP candidate James Harden and the Rockets. Close match-up, right? Wrong. The Rockets ran away with the game, and pounded the Thunder 118-87. Witch teams are you rooting for. Good Luck to your team, and enjoy Game 2!
