a minute is over

"I ain't been in the playoffs in a minute."
- Iverson explaining his slow start tonight

I love it. I love that playoff basketball is here, and I love that Allen Iverson said that and I love this game!

Going into the first round it seemed like the outcomes were fairly certain for most of the series, including the assumption that the Spurs would beat the Nuggets. But after watching Denver pull off the upset tonight, I think they can win this series. I never fully appreciated Carmelo's game until tonight; Camby is a beast; my Terp brother Steve Blake is a solid role player, as is Nene. And A.I. is A.I. and he ain't been in the playoffs in a minute, but he's back now. Awesome.

I definitely have to root for them because they're way funner to watch than San Antonio, and I have to support Blake (by passively cheering him on from 2,000 miles away). I love it!
