Just a brief post today. The San Antonio Spurs escaped from the New Orleans Hornets, winning the series in seven games. Maybe the league isn’t fixed for a Celtics-Lakers rematch in the Finals after all, as 49.5 out of 50 states were rallying behind the Hornets. Even though San Antonio has been less than overwhelming this season, they’ve got a great shot at knocking off the Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, it’s hard to say how the Celtics will play against the Detroit Pistons, especially at the Palace.

Which teams emerge to the NBA Finals? You may make a strong case for any of the four teams remaining; the Pistons and Spurs are going to give the #1 seeds a run for their money, that’s for sure.
