    So as up and down as the season has been for my Mavs, I feel pretty happy about the fact they drew the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. Of the top tier teams in the West, the Rockets are probably the only team I think the Mavs have a decent shot against. I fear the Spurs and Portland would have been a bad draw. We have had a terrible time against San Antonio historically, especially in the post season. And the Trailblazers are too hot right now for my tastes. Better the Clippers and Grizzlies battle it out with them. (that makes 2 more teams I'm glad we didn't draw)

    Did your team make it in? Happy with the seeding?

    First round goes like this:

    West:
    Golden State Warriors v New Orleans Pelicans
    Portland Trailblazers v Memphis Grizzlies
    Los Angeles Clippers v San Antonio Spurs
    Houston Rockets v Dallas Mavericks

    East
    Atlanta Hawks v Brooklyn Nets
    Toronto Raptors v Washington Wizards
    Chicago Bulls v Milwaukee Bucks
    Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics

    Starts 4/18, Saturday night. NBA Playoffs: First-Round Schedule

    Clippers fan here. I was really worried about drawing the defending champs in the first round. The Spurs are one of the best playoff teams ever. But lookout man.. LAC leads early 1-0. Gotta love Chris Paul. 32 pts in Game 1, carried the team on his back. Makes me think they can actually get outta the first round after all. Here's hoping..
