as a casual NBA fan I must admitt ....

The Boston-Cleveland series is very entertaining.

I don't watch too much basketball (being Canadian all I hear about are the Raptors) but I have watched a bit of the Bos-Cle series and it's great! Top notch atheletes on display.

Boston can't win on the road.

The Celtics won't beat anyone on the road. All they have left is a homecourt advantage. One lost game and they are out. But they still have the advantage...

I think the Utah-Los Angeles series has been better so far. Some of the Boston-Cleveland games have degenerated into typical ugly Eastern Conference basketball.

In the second round, nobody seems to win on the road this year.

Yeah I would have to agree the Spurs/Hornets the home team has blow out wins everytime. The Pistons spanked the Magic. The Cavs and Celtics is a good series I just can't stand Lebron James though but yet I still want the Cavs to win. The Lakers Jazz the past couple of games have been close so I agree the 4th game was a nail biter when the game went into OT.

Really? I think it is one of the more boring series right now, besides the physical play. Suprisingly enough I thenk the San Antonio New Orleans series has been pretty entertaining.

How is it entertaining the home team always have blow out wins. Not very entertaining I enjoy a back and forth game.

The Cavs-Boston games are to slow for my liking. Thats just my opinion. And most of the games in that series have been competitive till the end. but to each his own.

Big Celts fan here, but I sorta disagree... The C's haven't been playing well in teh playoffs.. they finally got it together (for the most part) this last game. They just haven't been hitting on all cylinders: Ray Allen pretty mediocre; Rondo hit or miss; Pierce turns the ball over too much...

They looked old and tired in the game 4. They had a clear cut chance to win that game but just couldn't make any baskets.

Hopefully they close out the Cavs tonight and get their first road win in the playoffs.

If Rondo keeps playing well, and Ray Allen gets his shit together.... they can win the whole thing. Really depends on guard play IMO. KG and Pierce will continue to produce, but IMO both of those guys need to play better too.
