Great start to the NBA playoffs

Pau Gasol went nuts on Sunday. Who would have predicted the Gasol would upstage Kobe, Melo and AI. Gasol's line of 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists was one of the best performances of the weekend and the Lakers had no problem with the Denver Nuggets. The Spurs game one victory in double-overtime over Shaq and the Suns was the best game I've seen in a first round match up in a long time. Duncans 40 and that 3-pointer earn him equal praise with Gasol. Philadelphia downs Detroit? Wow. I feel like the teams that will survive the first round are; Cleveland, Boston, Detroit and Orlando in the East and L.A., Phoenix, New Orleans and Utah. Anybody up for an eight game challenge? Your thoughts ...
