It's here....

It was one boring *** regular season. I'm ready for the intensity to turn up

That Indy/Atlanta series.. the thought of seeing at least 4 games between these two makes me ill. It's going to be tough to watch.

Stoked to watch my Cats in the playoffs. Hoping we can get the 6 seed and avoid Miami.

Why do you say this? You think it's going to be an easy sweep or you think it's going to be ugly because of how Indy has played as of late?

I think he means it's going to be a painfully boring series.

Could be interesting if Atlanta takes the first game.

I actually think Atlanta can make Indana work for this one, but certainly don't expect them to advance. I'd give Atlanta 2 games

Bring on Brooklyn. Should be the best first round series in the east.
