The playoff is very simple, teams from the east and teams from the west play separately, so 16 teams are divided into 2 groups of 8. In each group, there will be groups of 2 playing against each other, and the winner goes to the second round. In each round, the opposing teams have to play with each other for 7 matches until one team wins 4 of the matches, that team will go of to the second round.
The first round goes this way, 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th and 5th vs 4th. And the winners will play the same way in the second round. There is a lot of great teams playing this year, but I believe that there is alot of great teams playing every year, not just this one.
Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, are some of the strong and powerful teams in this Playoff, especially Spurs, now that they have Tracy Mcgrady joined to the team to help them win this playoff. I am kind of disappointed that Kobe Bryant won't be playing because he was injured, but it is nice to hear that his surgery went well.
This is going to be very exciting to watch, I am looking forward to tomorrow's match!!!!
