Well...I'm trying to watch the first game in this series. It's a shame the pre-game show was ruined by the insane hype by ABC (Wilbon should have just stayed on PTI, he's horrible as a commentator...boring and predictable) about guess what...

LAKERS vs. CELTICS....unreal...why should I be surprised at the way the national sports media hypes everything up way too soon? It's the first game of the first round, PEOPLE! We've got archival footage, statistics of the results between Celtics and Lakers so many years in a row, predictions, grown men professionals practically hyperventilating at the possiblity of a matchup that is what six weeks away. I swear to God.

In the midst of all this, the Nuggets are doing what they can against what looks like a formidable team. And I'm kind of watching and recording and hoping against hope that the Nuggets can steal at least one game from this series. I'd rather it be with their home fans though.
