Cavs handle Hawks

The Sixers are out, but the NBA playoffs roll on without them. Last night the Cavs opened up their series against the Hawks and had little trouble winning the first game 99-72. They're looking great so far, and I would not be at all surprised if this is the year they win the NBA title. The Lakers have been less than impressive and even dropped their first game against the Rockets. Likewise, the Celtics fell to the Magic in their first game. The Cavs seem to be the only consistently good team out there, which is a pleasant surprise. I've always rooted against the Lakers, and even though I like the Celtics, they just won it all last year. One team that hasn't been talked about much is Denver. They currently lead Dallas 2-0 and could really shock a lot of people by making it to the finals. But, there's still a lot of basketball to be played before all is said and done.
