Playoffs Paroxysm, Vol. I

April 19, 2010 in by Jared Wade with 0 Comments

The internet is a big place. Lots of stuff out there, kiddos. And while the whole HP crew will continue to cover the Playoffs here (see below), we all write about basketball at other places as well. So from time to time, we’ll drop some link-dump updates to the other outlets where we drop knowledge.

Here are all the non-HP Playoff posts we penned this weekend:

Matt Moore on Celtics vs. Heat Game 1. Relatedly, Matt also wrote on the Kevin Garnett suspension,Â Joakim Noah calling KG dirty and KG saying that “Q was talking nonsense”
Matt Moore on Mehmet Okur’s ruptured achilles
Rob Mahoney on Mavericks vs. Spurs Game 1.
Rob Mahoney on the general awesomeness that is the Mavericks/Spurs series in video form and in written form. (More here on the same topic)
Rob Mahoney on Cavaliers vs. Bulls Game 1
Zach Harper on Nuggets vs Jazz Game 1

Zach Harper on The Weekly Fix podcast previewing the East Playoffs and the West Playoffs
Me on JR Smith adding to his “Book of Swish” legacy
Me on the Lakers flipping the switch, Mega Maid-style
Me on the Talking About Practice podcast talking playoffs with Kelly Dwyer

In addition, there is obviously also a boatload of Playoff coverage right here on HP proper, so to help you better navigate, here’s a table of contents-like rundown of backlinks in case you missed anything this weekend or just want to revisit it for some reason.
