Now that the ridiculously long NBA Regular Season officially ended last night we can get into the real NBA season and that is when the playoffs start. This is now the 10th consecutive year that the Knicks have not been in the playoffs BUT that will 100% change next year with or without Lebron, so playoff basketball will finally be back and we can see if Mike Dantoni has the balls to back his players up like Jeff Van Gundy did.... 
Anyway, the NBA in my opinion is the best it has been since MJ left the league. There is plenty of superstar power in these playoffs. In the East you have Lebron looking for title number one, KG/Allen/Pierce going for it again, D Wade looking to bring back some of the magic that seems to have left him and Dwight Howard and the Magic are poised to make another run to the Finals. While out West is hands down the better basketball with the Lakers, Mavs and Suns leading the way, Duncan's possible last shot at a title and the biggest fuckin gangsta in the league right now Kevin Durant leading the Thunder to there first ever playoff birth.

What is great about the NBA playoffs is that unlike any other sport you really see the height of how good some of these guys really are. You will see them all bring their games to a different level then they do in the regular season (actually play some fuckin defense). All I know is that I am intrigued more so this year for the mere fact that there is a handful of teams that could actually win a title this year and I wouldn't be surprised to see a surprising upset in the first round.
So with the Mets off to a fuckin disastrous start the NBA playoffs couldn't come at a better time. Should be an interesting playoffs and will without a doubt be one of the better ones in a while.
P.S. Can't not let you in on who I am predicting taking it all home this year....I think that this picture pretty much sums it all up because Lebron is at a different level then anyone in the league right now and be prepared for him to take hold of this league from this year forward...
