After a great weekend of Game 1’s, I decided to write a little something about what jumped out to me about the games.
- The Raptors finally broke their Game 1 losing streak. It took a record three-point performance, but they got that monkey off their back.
- Outside of the Warriors and Thunder, I am hoping for upsets in every series of the 1st round.
- The Warriors are too much for the Spurs without Kawhi, who has just been ruled out for the playoffs.
- The way the Sixers played on Saturday, the Process may be complete. The entire city of Philiadelphia owed Sam Hinkie a big apology.
- Playoff Rondo is a real thing. The guy has ten triple-doubles in less than 100 playoff games.
- Can Terry Rozier channel his inner Kyrie Irving for an entire playoff series.
- Playoff Lebron cannot carry the defensively retarded Cavs over the Pacers.
- The OKC Three plus Melo made a big splash in Game 1.
- Derrick Rose balled out for the Wolves in Game 1. Too bad Jimmy Butler and KAT didn’t get enough touches.
- James Harden had to put in an MVP performance in order to carry the Rockets through Game 1.
