On the first day of the NBA Playoffs, there were 4 games.

Cavaliers Beat Bulls 96-83
Hawks Beat Bucks 102-92
Celtics Beat Heat 85-76
Nuggets Beat Jazz 126-113

Kevin Garnett got 2 technicals for elbowing Quentin Richardson and got ejected with 40 seconds left in the game. I wonder if the NBA will suspend him for one game for his actions.

Mehmut Okur hurt his Achilles tendon and left after only playing 11 minutes. He could be out for a while.

All the teams expected to win yesterday won.. The Jazz are just getting the injury bug at the wrong time.

Thunder played the Lakers tough, never quite going away

Looks like the Lakers will pull it out though

imo the difference was Derek Fisher making threes at the right time...and Durant not

Westbrook played really well, hopefully he gets a chance to exploit some mismatches in game 2

Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 of Boston's first-round playoff series against the Heat for landing an elbow to the face of Miami's Quentin Richardson in a fourth-quarter fracas during Saturday's Game 1.

Huge Blow to the Celtics

KG got what he deserved

In other news Magic won today over the Bobcats 98-89.

Dwight Howard had more blocks than points! (9 blks/5pts) Dont see that much.

[Sports Collector]

I'm feeling much more confident with my pick of the Heat in this series now

Heat win game 2 easy imo

4 games on tap for today.

Lakers Beat Thunder 87-79

Bynum came back strong in his first game in a month.

Dwight Howard had 9 blocks, but only 5 points and surprisingly the Magic still won.

Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 on Tuesday.

Mehmut Okur is out for the remainder of the playoffs.

I think Bynum was great in the first half, but didn't he seem to be less of a factor as the game went a long?

[neo darkside]

Mehmut Okur is out for the remainder of the playoffs.

Oh so he is only out for 3 more games, what a relief!

[key2win]

Only 2 games on tonight.

Cavaliers Beat Bulls 112-102
Jazz Beat Nuggets 114-111

Lebron James went off for 40 points.

Utah without Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmut Okur was up by 12 at halftime and barely beat Denver. It was an impressive victory on the road.

they won on the road yesterday, you never know

God, The Bucks were AWFUL again...losing Bogut killed there chances at making it past the first round....Atlanta has way too many mismatches and Jennings/Salmons are way too inconsistent.
