The 1st round of the Eastern Conference finals were kind of boring. You would think when a number 8 seed upsets a number 1 seed that it would be a big deal. However, the Bulls were without their starting point guard and center. Still though give credit to the 76ers , while they don’t have that one star they have a lot of depth. Even with Rajon Rondo suspended for one game and Paul Pierce’s hurt need the Celtics beat the Hawks in 6 games. The Miami Heat rolled past the Knicks as did the Pacers over the Magic after losing the first game.
We can only hope that the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference Finals is more competitive than the 1st round but I doubt it. I think we are looking at a Heat and Celtics Eastern Conference Finals. I think that would be a match up that everyone would want to see. Check out the schedule for the Heat and Pacers and Celtics and 76ers below.
