I am thrilled to announce my 263rd Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about the NBA Playoffs.

We have a series! Thank the good Lord that the Toronto Raptors took care of business at home against the Milwaukee Bucks in games 3 and 4 to even up the series at 2-2.

Although College Basketball is my first love, the NBA Playoffs are my mistress. But this year the playoffs are missing King James and it has left me with a bit of an empty feeling. I am far from a Lebron James fan but there is something to be said about having the villain in the playoffs to root against.

This year it has been a bit difficult to get too excited for each series. We had glimpses of hope from Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers until the games mattered most, in the 4th quarter…James Harden and the Rockets robbed us of a game 7…and the Eastern Conference has been mostly boring.

But that all changes now as the best of seven series between the Greek Freak and Kawhi is all evened up. I am very much looking forward to game 5 tomorrow night in Milwaukee. Let’s hope this gets pushed to a game 7 and then the winner out of the East can put up a fight against the Warriors in the NBA Finals.

I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast. To check out my 263rd show just click the play button below. I look forward to hearing your input and comments. Cheers!
