For the NBA Western Conference Playoffs, this has been a tumultuous year. While some series has been decided in four games and some in seven, most of these series have been exhilarating. If you haven't been paying attention, here's a brief analysis of what's happened so far.
The Oklahoma City Thunder faced the defending champions, the Los Angeles Lakers, in the first round. The Thunder are young and inexperienced, but you would never know, as they brought the Lakers to game 7.
Being the defending champions, the Lakers earned the right to be confident going into the playoffs, but it would not be an easy path to the second round. The Thunder took the Lakers to 7 games, ultimately losing , but letting the world know that they will be a contender for years to come.
In a matchup of I couldn't care less, the Utah Jazz were able to beat out the Denver Nuggets in X games. I don't know what it is about the Utah Jazz, but I really just don't like this team. Williams is great but I just don't find them entertaining.
In the first round, the Phoenix Suns played the Portland Trailblazers and won in solid fashion in 6 games.
The final round 1 matchup was a Texas showdown, as the Dallas Mavericks played the San Antonio Spurs. People thought this Spurs team was too old and the Mavericks were too hot, but the Spurs continued to silence the haters and took this series in 4-1.
In the Western Conference semifinals, the San Antonio Spurs were pitted against the Phoenix Suns. Up until this year, the Spurs had won the last five playoff series against the Suns, however this time was different. The Suns played to make a statement and swept the Spurs in the feel-good story of the playoffs.
Oddly enough, the other Western Conference matchup was also a sweep. The Utah Jazz never stood a chance against the Lakers and were eliminated in a swift four games. The Lakers now face the Suns who are not going down without a fight, as this series is currently tied 2-2.
