Hard to tell if David Lee’s camera was out of focus — or whether there was so much confetti falling from the rafters at Oracle Arena that it just made it seem that way.

We are entering Week 2 of the second-round of the NBA playofs, and no team has captured the imagination of the basketball-viewing public like the Golden State Warriors. First, they ended their 30-game (!) losing streak in San Antonio by defeating the Spurs in Game 2.
Yesterday, the TV scheduling gods at the NBA office spared us the Miami Heat and gave us the ‘Dubs, who did not disappoint with a 10-point overtime vitory over the San Antonio Spurs.
So one series is tied 2-2, and we find out tonight if Chicago’s backups can knot things with the mighty Miami Heat, and whether Kevin Durant can single-handedly get last year’s Western Conference champions on steadier ground. The Thunder trail Memphis 2-1, and the Grizzlies look like the strongest threat to come out of the West.
Tuesday night, the Knicks have a chance to regain homecourt advantage in Indianapolis if they can defeat the Pacers, who have taken away their primary weapon — the 3-point shot — and have dominated inside behind Roy Hibbert for a 2-1 lead.
If the basketball gods smile on the neutral among us, each of these series gets knotted 2-2, he get four incredibly meaningful Game 5s, then four an incredibly meaningful encores in Game 6.
And if the basketball gods are especially benevolent, we get this:
i feel like their will be four game 7s
