It's Amazing



These NBA playoffs have fit their motto, "It's Amazing". Night after night, we as fans are lucky to be treated with these incredible games. Forget hoping for an easy ride for Lebron and Kobe to the finals, we have battles in the Conference Finals.

We are two games into these two series, and we have had tremendously competitive games, all going down to the final buzzer. Most recently, Lebron James hits an unbelievable three at the buzzer to give the Cavs a much needed game 2 victory. I hope this answers any questions to whether Lebron is clutch.

Charles Barkley said it best, surprisingly, "[The Conference Final Games] have been the best four games you'll ever see." I will hate to see these series end, but the good news is that all four teams seem to be prepared for a long battle. Sounds like seven games to me.

Both game 3's will tell us a lot about how each team reacts to their unique situation. Can the Lakers frontcourt muscle up the strength to match Nene, K-Mart, and Birdman? Can Melo keep up his hot shooting? How will the Cavs find a way to stop the pick and role with Lewis and Hedo? And how will the Magic bounce back from a devastating shot by Lebron.

These playoffs have been so great that I will have to make a top 10 post feeaturing the 10 greatest moments from these playoffs.

Update: This video captures the greatness of the shot by James
