NBA Playoff Observations Thus Far

My 10 observations, er… questions about the NBA playoffs after the first three days of action.
1. Will the Pistons play at least one game where they act like they care?
2. Is Tyrus Thomas becoming a player right before our eyes or is he becoming a player right before our eyes?
3. Is New Orleans-Denver that much of a mismatch?
4. Is it just me or did Andre Iguodala make one helluva difficult shot in game 1 with Hedo all up in his grill?

5. Wait, did Orlando just leave 53 year old Donyell Marshall all alone again?
6. Does it bother you to see Kevin Garnett continually say potty mouth type things on the sideline after each big Celtic play…?
7. Or make goofy faces?
8. Or that the cameraman seems to always focus in on him, like, expecting him to say something more family friendly the next time?
9. Did Tony Parker just decide to take over the Mavs series because I was too busy watching him make layups to tell?
10. Is it just me or does Jeff Van Gundy become more tolerable and dare I say more lovable as time goes on?















Does anyone really care this year? Tough times are making for plenty of cheap and some empty seats for the NBA playoffs.
