Only the Washington-Chicago series has progressed to 2-0. Four other pairs are in 1-1 and three remaining in 1-0. I really feel bad for Kirk hinrich missing a pair of FTs at 2 secs remaining on the clock in overtime. Had he made them, he would have taken Chicago to a second OT. The playoffs get to the nerves of seasoned veterans as well.
I'm beginning to see a similarity with the Houston and OKC in the playoffs. Any team that thinks that a two player duo of superstars will produce them playoff wins should think again. Only teams that know how to play unselfish team ball have a chance. Teams like Spurs and Grizzlies are good examples of that.
Now Dallas is up 2-1 against the Spurs. Nothing seem to be sacred in the playoffs! OKC was barely able to outplay the Grizzlies on the final seconds of the overtime to make it 2-2. Similarly Indiana win Atlanta with an extremely thin margin in a game that could have gone either way. So far only Miami has been able to show some consistency.
