NBA Playoffs: A Look Inside The First Round

The NBA Playoffs are finally here, and it has been anything but boring. With the first round underway, each series has a story of its own.

The most interesting series thus far, in my opinion, has to be the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs matchup.

The Spurs were the clear and obvious favorites, but after last night, everyone's not too sure now. The series is tied 2-2 after Grizzlies' Marc Gasol's overtime game-winner tied the series last night.
The heroic finish is just the beginning for the Grizzlies, who were down 0-2 until recently. Facing a legendary coach and team in the Spurs, the Grizz have proven themselves to be much more than just a 7th seed.

This is how the playoffs bracket is looking as of this morning:

Land of 10

Both the Portland Trailblazers and Indiana Pacers find themselves facing a sweep against top-seeds, but neither team has made it easy on their opponents. More specifically, their two most recent games played were shockers for almost the same reason: the Trailblazers and Pacers both had double-digit leads in their most recent game played, just to end up losing it by a few points in the fourth quarter.

Usually fans dismiss the first round as the "boring" round, or the round where sweeps happen and uninteresting basketball occurs. This year's playoffs have been nothing of this sort, proving that this NBA Finals, no matter who is in it, will definitely be one to remember.
