BSTFWNHO: Last Weekend in NBA Playoffs

↵↵Big: All home teams except Detroit, but especially Detroit. Home teams ran the table—unless their name was Orlando, and they had the poor fortune to take on a Billups-less Pistons team. Individually, I'll give this award to Deron Williams, whose coming-out party this spring is a lot doper than the one he threw last year.↵

↵↵Small: This Celtics team needs a smack in the head. I appreciate the desire to work together as one, but come on: With KG, Pierce, and Allen on one squad, this team should be an offensive juggernaut. Instead, it's like the Jeff Bedzelik Nuggets.↵

↵↵True: Here's this Monday's inexorable playoff logic: The Pistons will make the NBA Finals because they alone have experienced real adversity this post-season. Losing on the road is just a fad, like being a lesbian.↵

↵↵False: I'm making sure to say this as many places as possible: Calm it down with Kobe. He'd played pretty well up until OT despite a rapidly failing body. So he forced a few shots after his team couldn't get anything going. He probably had no idea just how quickly he'd fallen apart. Plus, he's the now completely state-sanctioned MVP, so fall back.↵

↵↵Wide: If Cleveland's got any chance here, they have to keep pretending that Delonte West is who they thought Larry Hughes was when they signed him. Not sure if that's a compliment to West, an insult to Hughes, or one more reason to avoid thinking about the Cavs.↵

↵↵Narrow: Can someone please tell me if the Jazz fans are booing Fisher at all? I'm listening so hard for it that now I hear it when I sleep.↵

↵↵Obama/Hillary: Much like those teams who go down 0-2 and refuse to admit they've been twice blown out, Hilary rolls on. ↵
