Round 1 Playoffs: Some move on and some are still stuck

It's been 11 days since the start of the playoffs on that April 19th. Lots of great games occured and many suprising victories for low-seeded teams. Let's start by taking a look in the Eastern Conference. Orlando is the only team right now that has advanced into the second round with a 4-1 series win against Toronto. The Cavaliers have a 3-1 lead against the Wizards with a game today in Cleveland. The Detriot Pistons lead their series with a suprising 3-2 lead against the Sixers who have their next game tomorrow. The Hawks are holding off a sweep by the Celtics with a suprising 2-2 tie. The Sixers and Hawks have been suprising, but by no doubt, they are maintaing their energy from the end of the regular season. The Pistons are believed to be acting "cool" and not to be trying. But the true reason is that the Sixers are just more active and are persevering to win. The Hawks are just out doing the Celtics in their own game. Joe Johnson and Josh Smith have stepped up leading to this tie. The Cavaliers and Wizards matchup is very intensive. It features constant hard fouls and the intensity between Lebron and Deshawn Stevenson. It also with some distance includes Soulja Boy who attended the game where the Cavaliers lost. Let us move on to the Western Conference. The Spurs, Hornets, and Lakers have already moved on to the next round. The Spurs were able to destroy the favored Suns in a 4-1 win. The Hornets crushed the Mavericks in also a 4-1 win. The Mavericks turned from a Finals contender with an MVP, Coach of the Year winner, to 2 straight years of losing in the first round. The Lakers completely sweeped the Nuggets with an embarassing losses. I personally think if the Warriors made the playoffs instead of the Lakers, it would have gone to 7 games. The matchup that is left is the Rockets and Jazz. Currently, Utah leads 3-2 and their next game is at home. The Jazz hope to finish it off there but T-mac and his Rockets want to bring it back home for a 7th game just like last year but it resulted in the Jazz advancing in the playoffs. Without Yao Ming, the Rockets find them in need of teammates stepping up. Rafer Alston has proven to do this and now Luis Scola is helping out. This is the current news going on the playoffs.
