Some surprising turnouts in the first games of the second round.
Orlando got blown out, I at least expected them to keep it close.

The other surprise is that San Antonio got WORKED. They had Duncan on LOCK DOWN; WOW! I didn't expect for Chandler to be able to hold him down when a combination of Stat and Shaq couldn't. I expect Duncan to come out strong next game though, it's the playoffs. He'll step it up when he has to as per usual.

I know the Hornets are going to beat the Spurs.

And the Cavs vs Celtics will be interesting. 2-2 in the regular season, one loss for the Cavs was without LeBron.
