The second round of the NBA Playoffs is entering its initial stage. As teams from the first round began to lessen. In the West, we look forward to see if the New Orleans Hornet could sting the reigning champs the San Antonio Spurs out of the Playoff Race or would the San Antonio Spurs leave its mark against the Buzzing Hornets. While the Los Angeles Lakers are waiting the outcome between the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz.

Back in the East, its still a close game between the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks as the soaring hawks gained momentum going into the 5th game by winning 2 games at home and staying alive in the playoffs. While the Orlando Magic have to wait another game or 2 to see if it would face the Detroit Pistons or the Philadelphia 76ers. In a game which everyone thought would go for the 76ers, the Pistons rallied back and won game 5 and go ahead with a 3-2 record against Philadelphia.

The West it would seem would start its second round early as expected, while the East is still with both 8 teams hoping to land a place on the second round of the Playoffs.

ith the NBA Playoffs starting to enter the second round, The Los Angeles Lakers took matters and swept the Denver Nuggets going 4-0 in its 1 round. Denver tried valiantly to make a comeback during the 3rd quarter but Kobe and the Lakers denied them of a win. KB24 exploded for 14 points in the 4th quarter and dismantled every defender faced against him.

While in Atlanta, the Atlanta Hawks surprise the Boston Celtics by winning game 4 and even the series at 2 games a piece. Atlanta’s Joe Johnson,Al Horford and Joe Smith did most of the damage to Boston and setting the pace for a possible game 6 and even game 7 as the 1st round between this two teams shifts back to Boston.

The series between Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors ended with the Magic moving on to the second round beating the Raptors 4-1, led by their superhero Dwight Howard.

Also another feat for Orlando is the Most Improved Player award was given to Hedo Turkoglu.
