Orlando and Brooklyn Make Early Statements In NBA Playoffs

The Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets were just supposed to be here for the fun of the NBA Playoffs, but apparently, neither team got the memo. The Magic stopped the Toronto Raptors 104-101 and The Nets beat Philadelphia by a score of 111-102. San Antonio stop the Denver Nuggets 101-96 as well which many people thought was an upset. Anytime you play San Antonio they can beat you. It's just the nature of the beast.

Now all three teams did come up with big wins, but the odds of them winning the series is still remote at best. Out of all three teams, Orlando has the best shot of pulling the upset. Why Orlando? Since the All-Star break, they have been playing very well. We all know how Toronto seems to shrink in the playoffs so I give Orlando the best shot.

Nets Stop Heat Are They For Real Or Just A Pretender

The Brooklyn Nets made some moves in the off-season designed to make a move in the Eastern Conference in the NBA. Trading for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were huge and they give the Nets a toughness they have been lacking. Last night the Nets showed they can play basketbll against the best by beating the Miami Heat.

Miami could have a little tougher time in the East this year. With Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett the Nets look poised to give the Heat fits this season. Botj Pierce and Garnett know how to play against the Heat, so that should help the Nets as well. No matter what it could be an interesting season for the Nets this season.
