I'm pumped for the playoffs as a whole. I'll pop out of bed to watch Bulls-Pacers. Playoff basketball is a whole other level of competition/entertainment. People always talk about "playoff atmosphere" during the regular season but it's nothing like the real thing. Once the playoffs start, everyone's 0-0 and it's like the regular season never happened. Now for the REAL games. I'm rooting for the underdog in every series and I hope at least one of them comes through for me. The only series I'm slightly divided on is Boston-New York. Being that I have a home in NYC, I've always enjoyed rooting for the Knicks and it's great to have them back in the playoffs. But I have a lot of respect for Boston and I cheered them on in the Finals. It feels weird to suddenly turn on them. Regardless, I can't fucking wait for the games. The Blazers/Mavs games will be tough on me, especially if we lose. Besides that, the Hornets and Sixers have suddenly become two of my favorite teams!! Go Sixers!!!
