NBA Playoffs Jumpstart With Trash Talking, Shoves, Ejections and more!

The regular season is over and the NBA playoffs have started. This year is said to be one of the best in playoff history because of the competitive match-ups.

A lot of teams that are normally a 2 or 3 seed are now a 5 and 7 seed, so you know it is pretty intense. A playoff filled with tempers flaring, shoves, trash talking, ejections, and more and this was just the first night.

The match-ups last night were the Chicago Bulls that loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks who barely got over the Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets winning a thriller over the Utah Jazz, and the talk of the town match-up of The Boston Celtics victory over Miami.

Everything that happens from here on out is usually chalked up to “Playoff Basketball.”

In the Boston game, the Celtic’s forward Kevin Garnett was ejected for elbowing Miami guard Quentin Richardson in the face while starting a huge scuffle. Will there be suspensions or fines assessed?

I’m sure there will be on the count of it was intentionally done. More match-ups started with the Los Angeles Lakers taking on The Oklahoma City Thunder on ABC.
